The business plans against floods, fire and tornadoes tend to hit on some of the same “pain points” in the market. Disaster preparedness and disaster recovery businesses all rely on the same basic set of market analysis data to make a case for the market need: there's been a steady uptick in natural disasters, from fires to floods to tsunamis to earthquakes. Tornadoes have been especially prevalent in recent years, hitting the Midwestern United States harder than they have in decades. This is grim to talk about, but it's the all-important backdrop for a business plan that needs to make your market intervention clear. What does your company deliver that is different from competitors? Explain this by covering:
• Your exact service suite or product line
• The major competition you face
• The advantages that set you apart
• Your history/track record in this market
• Industry trends that make now the time for your concept
A business plan against floods, fire and tornadoes should go to great lengths to demonstrate how your products/services apply in the market today. What you can do for consumers or businesses is the crux of your value proposition, and you need to make sure that this is clear to anyone reading the plan, whether you intend to solicit private funding, venture capital, or simply a bank loan or expanded line of credit. Show a financial forecast that provides your use of funds, revenues, break-even point, profit and loss, cash flow, and a balance sheet for each of (at least) 3 years.
