Writing a business plan for credit card business? For starters, the plan should provide as much data as possible about the state of the industry. The credit card business is constantly changing and, in recent years, has been subject to increasingly levels of regulation at both the federal and the state levels. Credit card companies have been limited in their flexibility to extend offers, increase credit limits, and assess fees for common consumer transactions. However this is still a very profitable market space, provided you can sustain the business, so writing a business plan for a credit card company can be an excellent idea. Topics to cover include these:
• What markets will you offer the credit card in?
• What will your fees and rates be?
• What sort of customers will you extend offers to?
• Will your product be branded by a major bank?
• What amount of capital do you need in order to launch?
The business plan also needs to talk about the capital you'll have to set aside for ongoing regulatory compliance and legal fees. In this industry, those are important considerations and you should give them equal weight in your plan along with the marketing strategy, assessment of market needs, and so forth. The pro forma model should forecast five years of revenues and expenses so that investors in the business at start-up and see the potential returns they might enjoy.
