Business plans for curbing are meant to illustrate the market opportunity that a construction operation will find offering its services to create or rebuild damaged curbs on streets or in parking lots outside homes and commercial complexes. This is a unique specialty and in most U.S. cities, not a lot of contractors are active in the industry. Your plan should provide data about the state of the construction industry generally and, wherever possible, this specific niche as well. How many businesses are doing this, what are their annual sales levels, and how do they staff themselves? Also delve into business operations and service issues including the following:
• Can you show sample projects?
• Define the scope of a typical engagement.
• Show the target customer and explain their needs
• What is the state of the industry in your area right now?
• How will you market yourself?
• Do you have any plans to act as a sub-contactor?
The business plan for curbing should include a comprehensive financial pro forma that gives the banker or angel investor an idea of your planned financial performance. This starts with a use of funds table (how will the seed capital be applied?) and continues into a 3-year or 5-year outlay of projected sales and expenses. Common tables include the revenue forecast, break-even analysis, profit and loss, cash flow, balance sheet, and a sensitivity analysis that illustrates the impact of sales variances. You can build some of this by using industry-standard figures or getting as much data as you can on your competitors. Need assistance here?
