Business plans for surveying are documents designed to secure funding for a venture that will offer site design and street level measurements, typically to offer project support to contractors, municipal governments, or other players in the residential/commercial design space. Surveying is generally conducted with a 2-3 man crew equipped with lateral measuring devices and the ability to upload data for site design blueprints. Is this the sort of business you need a plan for? There are many considerations for the business plan but the most important questions are these:
• What amount of money are you seeking?
• How will you allocate the seed capital?
• What is the timeline for getting started?
• When can you break even, according to the model you've built?
• How will you market this service to clients?
The marketing plan should detail how you will generate sales -- whether it's all relationship-based, you'll have web ads, or you need to get listed on a municipal jobs website, explain how you intend to market the company going forward. Also detail the hires you'll need to make in a personnel forecast that shows wages, dates, and positions. This should be part of a larger pro forma that shows five years (three at minimum) of revenues, a break-even spot, the cash flow, profit and loss tables, and a balance sheet for the life of your model.
