The business plan for diet products needs to contextualize the diet products you'll offer. Everybody knows that the weight loss industry is big business and that diet pills, exercise equipment, and other programs and supplements form a multi-billion dollar industry each year in the U.S. alone. But where does your invention fit in? What difference can the product you'll be distributing make in the lives of consumers struggling to shed pounds? Step 1 for making this clear is giving a full description of your product(s) including history, ingredients, price, efficacy, etc. Also include these components in the business plan:
• How will you market the products, or do you assign that task to a firm you've retained?
• How many employees will you need and on what timeline?
• What sales benchmarks do you envision for Year 3 or Year 5?
• Which additional products might you offer in time?
• When do you project reaching break-even point?
The full financial model should also make clear what investor share you would consider relinquishing or, in the alternative scenario, the loan repayment schedule you believe the company can uphold. Show profit and loss, balance sheet, revenue, and cash flow statements for 3-5 years and offer a monthly accounting of what the first year post-funding will look like, with assumptions.
