Section 1 - Overview and Plan Objectives
Objectives of business plan / current situation analysis in the marketplace
What the business wants (in terms of time goals, profit goals, productivity goals, and required financing) Break financing into large segments – startup, pilot testing, operations, progress monitoring, etc.
Brief description of business opportunities (including overview of client/customer needs to be served)
Obstacles to be overcome
How client/customer needs (in detail, hopefully, based on research described below) are to be served by the business.
Brief Description of business resources (all, including human, financial, and intangible)
Be sure to answer these questions at the outset: where is your seed money? What is it for? Then, where is the collateral? If you don’t have this funding, do not continue with this plan until you raise it.
The following section requires you to write a paragraph summary for each succeeding topic.
Section 2 – Experience and Capabilities
Principals
Partners, Community Partners
Current Business Accomplishments
Related Past Businesses, their accomplishments
Work Force Experience and Capabilities
Business Assets
Create summaries for each topic here.
Section 3 – Marketing Plan and Forecast
Statement of marketing objectives
Market research (must demonstrate need for proposed services)
Description of opportunity in the marketplace, including building the case for why
people will say, “I would be an absolute fool to do business with anyone but you, regardless of price.”
Analysis of competitive environment – Exactly how is this business better?
This must be seen through the eyes of the potential client/consumer
