Looking for a business plan for canoe and kayak livery? This type of business plan is actually fairly standard in terms of what it needs to portray to the bank or, if you choose, an investor. Bear in mind that a major differentiator between the bank or lending plan (for a loan or line of credit) and an investment plan (for a capital raise) is that investors will apply a greater degree of scrutiny to the research and will therefore demand a five-year financial pro forma. Also, the investor model typically includes some more advanced formulations like a sensitivity analysis, an assumptions and ratio table, and a proposition of shares for investment. No matter who reviews the plan, keep the following in mind:
• Show the market need and describe why your company can fill it
• Illustrate your target customer profile
• Look closely at competitive comparables for your business
• Show when break-even should happen
Also in the canoe plan, give a bio write-up for every C-level executive or other integral team member. The business proposal should also include a full write-up of your marketing and implementation strategies and should list out any and all partnerships or advisory relationships that will support your business. The financial model, as stated, depends on your audience but make sure it is complete, cash balance positive, and shows a reasonable set of assumptions.
