The business plan for thermal inspection is an obscure enough file type that you are not likely to find a template on the internet or a useful how-to guide somewhere on the shelf at a business development center. That means you'll best off writing it yourself from scratch or hiring a private consultancy to assist you in the development. But either way, know that you will need a business plan that starts by explaining what the company offers and how its technology works. Most of us know thermal imaging as a concept from the movies, and even some tech investors and large banks might not immediately understand the value proposition behind your company. So, start small – answer these questions:
• What does the thermal inspection seek to detect?
• Who are your most likely clients?
• How are results conveyed to your customers?
• What follow-up services can your business offer?
• What technologies do you competing with currently?
Writing about the competition is important for a business plan for thermal inspection, because some providers in this space might use dramatically different approaches or technologies. If you have a special expertise in this space, hold a patent (or pending patent), or have performed on large-scale contracts in the past, play that up in your business plan. A potential backer will want to see that you have a strong track record and knowledge base, and that you can offer something distinct from the competing businesses out there. Finally, the pro forma needs to show at least three consecutive years of projected earnings and ongoing expenses – make sure your net profit is appealing but reasonable.
