A business plan for edible arrangements shows how your company can make a profit by delivering edible creations like fruit bouquets and chocolate-covered sculptures to homes and businesses. Typically the business model uses a web-based environment for consumer orders and then does fulfillment through local outposts, similar to how floral sales work at FTD or Flowers.com. The edible arrangements space has a fair number of competitors but if you're willing to work hard you can carve out your own market share. A plan for this concept should:
• Show how many buyers you can expect per month
• Describe the creations you offer
• Mention all marketing elements you might use
• Give a breakdown of your start-up costs by category
• Talk about your team and provide bios for the owner(s)
If you are already in business selling edible arrangements, briefly describe your company and its successes (and trials) to date. You can also include a past performance table, in lieu of a conventional start-up summary, which would should your profitability and cash balance year-over-year for up to three years in the past. The pro forma model should give a realistic look at your anticipated break-even point and your profitability within three years (or five years if you need privately placed capital). The business plan should look at the market conditions in order to show that there is sufficient interest for your product suite going forward.
