Tugboat business plan proposals can be used to raise up the capital to buy or lease a boat for a one-man operation, or to get an extended line of credit or new investment for an existing maritime business that has tugboats on hand. The most important aspect of a tugboat business plan is arguably the market analysis, as you have to prove that the area in which you will offer the services of your tugboat needs this feature. What channel will you man, how many ships pass through it, and what market evidence is there to support the case for "market need"? The business plan needs to answer:
• Who are the competing providers?
• Will you offer any other services?
• What navigational tools do you use?
• What does the boat cost?
• What maintenance fees apply?
A tugboat business plan will perform best in the hands of someone with a demonstrated background in the maritime industry. Describe yourself in detail and play up the most relevant aspects of your background. Also consider whether you will need employees on the boat besides yourself and how they will be compensated. This information should populate the personnel forecast, which is a separate section from the profit and loss, cash flow, and revenue tables common in a business plan's pro forma.
