A blood testing business plan to obtain funding or get a board's approval needs to define precisely what the target market opportunity is and what sectors you plan to service with the blood testing. Blood tests can be used to determine everything from pregnancy to paternity to the incidence of disease, so what your targets are becomes important. If you'll function as an ancillary service to a pregnancy resource clinic and will most be testing women's blood to verify conception, that's a finite market and you should look for those data sets. But if you work as part of a larger medical clinic or specialty provider and look for genetic defects in blood, emphasize that instead. What's the market? Answer these questions in the plan:
• What are the market sectors you will service?
• What boundaries define the geographic area you operate in?
• What is the average cost to a consumer (or the hospital) for a blood test?
• Do your workers specialize in administering one type of test?
• Where are the competing clinics or blood test stations?
• How stable do you believe the industry to be?
Your business plan also needs a full budget that makes allowances for start-up expenses and the continuing OpEx for the business. Your business should factor in a marketing budget of 15% of your sales (approximately), and the implementation section of the document should show which advertising channels will do the most for your center or lab. Consumer interest magazines, radio advertisements, and the internet are all potential avenues. Tell what advantages your business can wield (“competitive edgeâ€) in its pursuit of new business. Your pro forma model should show at least 3 years of revenue, the break-even point, a profit and loss, cash flow, and balance sheet. Want to test out a provider of your own for this work?
