The business plans for cosmetic exporter businesses vary depending on the type of cosmetics being exported and the country or countries out of which they are being exported and into which they are being sold. A business plan for an American company importing cosmetics from France, for example, should pay closer attention to the U.S. market for cosmetics than the state of the industry in Europe, though both pieces will play a role. Carefully assess the need for your plan before you write – who is your audience? How much capital do you need and what are you offering in exchange? What does the reader want to see? If you know these answers, you will be better served by the document you create.
A few points to cover:
• What is the cost to export and what sort of import taxes do you pay?
• What are the market conditions in the region in which you'll be selling the products to end-users or supplying them to other companies?
• What sort of personnel needs will you face, in both countries?
• How will you market the products? Is that the responsibility of a third party?
