Need a business plan for an animated short? Animated shorts have grown hugely in popularity over the past decade. Used as introductions to children's films, entertainment during TV programs, and as advertisements, animated shorts have a wide range of uses and a broad appeal. Once relegated to children's materials they now take the air on late night television and as fodder for festivals. But what should be in the business plan for an animated short? It depends in large part on what you plan to do with it – when will it air, who will pay you, and who is it aimed at? These are the core questions, but not the only ones:
• Who are the viewers you plan to target?
• Who pays for the animation?
• Will you use any 1099 people or FT/PT employees?
• Do you face any competition?
• How will you market the service?
The business plan should identify your costs with the animation – what will you need to spend seed capital on? What is the start-up timeline? How many shorts will you make and what are the ongoing expenses you will face in this business model? You should also know about the industry and be able to show costs and net profit percentages in line with similar businesses making animated shorts. Knowing answers to these questions will help you fill in your financial model as well. Need help with the business plan or its model?
