The business plan for virtual golf describes an exciting merger of sport and technology. Golf has gained in popularity throughout the past decade, and technology has steadily advanced to the point that interactive gaming systems are the norm in most U.S. households. But golf lovers don't always live near a live course, or can't always spend the money to go 18 holes or take private lessons. Driving ranges offer some refuge, but why not test your swing indoors? Virtual golf centers provide the answer to this market need. Your business plan should describe this niche so that a bank's lending officer will understand your role. Also, your plan will need to account for the following:
• How many employees will you have and at what pay rates?
• What marketing methods can you bring into play?
• Who is your target customer?
• How much money do you need in order to launch?
• When do you think you can achieve break-even?
These are not the only items of importance for your business plan but they are some of the most essential points to address. Show that you understand the service suite, can estimate the cost of the various technology and set-up requirements, and have a clear vision for your path to profitability with 1-2 years. The financial model and the market analysis should both be complete and thoroughly reviewed before you submit or present.
