Business plan sections are fairly standard across all documents no matter what sort of funding is being sought or what your business concept or company history may be. The plan is designed to imbue any reader with a complete sense of what you do, what you plan to accomplish, how you sell, who you employ, how you intend to market and grow, and what allocation of resources you envision over the long-term. The business plan structure can adopt certain nuances, to be sure, but the sections have little variation:
• Executive Summary
• Description of Services
• Market Analysis
• Marketing Summary
• Management Team
• Financial Projections
The plan also needs to include critical subsections line future services, industry analysis, market need, target market segment strategy, marketing techniques, market trends, competitive comparison, internet strategy, management team gaps, exit strategy, and personnel plan. The personnel plan should be part of a larger pro forma model wherein you identify your projected revenues and expenses over a period of either three years post-funding or five years, depending on whether you need a bank loan or private investment. No matter what the circumstances, MasterPlans can help you with your business plan.
