A business plan for deck company is typically used to obtain expansion funding for an existing business that builds decks off of new and old residential homes. If your business is a start-up you will need to account for all of the costs that will absorb your seed capital; if your company is already underway, what you need is a past performance table that describes your successes to date and puts your balance sheets and P&L statements together for 2-3 years. Either way, you will need a plan that provides some meaningful data about the state of the U.S. home repair and remodeling market, one that has by all accounts undergone dramatic changes in the past 5 years. Your plan has to project its revenues realistically, and that can only start with the foundation of a solid market analysis. You should research these topics:
• Describe the market you operate in.
• What are the demographics of your customer base?
• How many homes are there within 5, 10, and 15 miles of your headquarters?
• When was the average house built?
• What is the typical cost of a deck building contract?
• What competitors are there close to you?
Knowing all about your competitors is vital. Your business plan should look at their sales, their executive tier, their staffing levels, and their strengths and weaknesses according to consumer reviews or any inside industry information you can come by. Also include a budget in the plan that shows how you will spend your capital and make an implementation strategy that makes it clear how you'll advertise the deck building capabilities you have to the prospective client base.
