The business plan for cabins that can be used at a campsite or as an alternative sort of lodging is not materially different from the structure of a document that you would write for a hotel or motel project that needs a bank loan or small investment to get off the ground. The business plan should describe how many cabins you will have, where you intend to construct them, and what your costs will be. It should also equilibrate your typical price points for lodging with the costs you will encounter on an ongoing basis, including all business fees and continual maintenance costs. If you know where the cabins will be – for example, if they are an adjunct to a campsite – provide photographs or details about the structures themselves. Will they feature running water, electricity, screens, etc.? Other information to give:
• - Who is your target guest?
• - What are the demographics like in your area, and what is the typical make-up of a traveler?
• - What campgrounds, motels, etc. will you compete with?
• - What advantages do you have in the local market?
• - Are there unique marketing strategies you can use?
• - What personnel needs will the cabins business have?
The cabins plan should also estimate your profitability potential at Year 3 or Year 5 by laying out a full pro forma including break-even points, revenue forecast, balance sheet, cash flow, and profit & loss statements. A monthly table set for Year 1 post-funding is also an important component of the business plan and is typically included in the appendix. Just make it clear that you know how to operate the new business profitably, and that you have a reasonable chance of success.
