Need a business plan for a passenger van? Whether you plan to buy or lease the vehicle, your business plan needs to demonstrate to the bank that the loan makes sense. Do you have a particular make and model in mind? What's the capacity? What ongoing maintenance costs will you face? What will fuel run you? Are you responsible for insurance or any permitting for the business you'll run with the van? Knowing these figures will play to your advantage, as the bank will want to see that you have specifics nailed down. If you have done your homework, the business plan for a passenger van should demonstrate some knowledge of each of the following topics:
• What service will you perform with the passenger van?
• If you'll be a medical transport van, and there medical permits you need?
• If you plan to offer taxi rides, do you need to have registered with the city?
• Are you planning to be hired out for any transport engagements?
• What will your services cost?
• How many rides can you offer per month and per year?
The financial model your plan will need should show three years of projected sales and your expenses by category. This should include a start-up summary, revenue forecast, break-even analysis, profit and loss, cash flow, and balance sheet as well as a monthly look at the first year's projections. The business plan also needs to show that you have a grasp on your market and your marketing efforts. Who are your customers and how many are there? Do you know how your advertisements will work out and what they'll cost you? And what competing businesses are there near you? If you need help figuring these things out, call MasterPlans.
