Wondering what a business plan with a flow chart looks like? It mostly depends on the sort of flow chart you have in mind. Many business plans show a GAANT chart that illustrates the business development milestones, but that's not the only want to show what the progression of your objectives will look like. Simple line graphs, bar charts using standard inputs, or manual graphs can all be populated using software or specialized features in Excel. Your business plan needs more than charts, however. Your plan also needs to cover:
• The business concept and service suite
• The potential market opportunities
• The state of the industry and major competitors
• The type of marketing you can do to get customers
• The biographical information for your team
• A full pro forma
The pro forma model should offer at least three years of projected financial performance including the revenue forecast, the cash flow, the break-even point, the profit and loss statement, and the balance sheet. The appendix needs to show the January, February, March etc. for Year One of your performance post-funding. The flow charts are important but really you need to focus on all of the details – who will you serve, how many clients might there be, what advertisements will you employ, etc. The experts at MasterPlans can help you get the plan done no matter what you need done.
