Finding that you need a business plan for metal finishing? A metal finishing company can work on behalf of contractors or as a stand-alone entity making consumer or commercial metal products. Knowing your target market and the ratio of your sales going forward between different market segments is important. If your company is an existing business, give a list of your specialties, contracts, and consider including images of your work. If your company is a start-up, some of these issues are speculative, but the point of the business plan is to tease out this information. Include:
• A market analysis and information on your targets
• The market need your metal services fulfill
• The industry analysis for metalwork
• The competition you face
• The personnel plan you envision
A metal finishing business plan, if presented to a bank, needs to show a use of funds and a break-even point that a banker will find sensible. You'll have to include a three-year projection and show the loan repayment schedule. For a plan that you present to an angel investor, showing a five year model is typical, and including an investor proposition that reveals the corporate share you plan to relinquish is important. The model needs to show the following: revenue forecast, break-even, profit and loss, cash flow, and balance sheet, in addition to a monthly look at Year 1. Add in a marketing section and a management summary in your plan and you'll have a complete document. Confused by how to complete a metal finishing business plan? MasterPlans can help.
