Background – What is a business document?

It is essential to know who and what your business document is intended for when creating one. This will ensure that your communication is professional, and represents the organization in the best way possible.

Many purposes can be served by business documents. These documents can be used by external customers (such suppliers or clients) or internal customers (such staff within an organization). Many documents are used to communicate information. Others may be used to store or maintain a permanent record.

After you have identified the purpose of the document, it is time to identify the audience for which you are writing it. Who are you writing for? Knowing the purpose of your paper and who you are writing to will affect what you write and how it is presented. Before you begin to prepare your draft, it is important that you are clear on these topics. Documents for business can be used by employees, managers or other staff. They can also be used for external customers, such as buyers, service providers, or government departments.

Once you have determined the audience, content, and purpose of the document, it is time to consider how to best present the document in terms its structure and format. There are two types of documents. Documents that transmit information and documents that keep information. If you are asked to create a document, it is important that you know what the document is about. This will help you determine how much and what format you should use. It is important to understand the communication protocols. These guidelines will determine the structure and format of your communication.
