Writing a chip truck business plan? Popular in cities with bustling lunchtime traffic, towns with a college campus, and in more remote locations where workers seek mobile dining options, chip trucks, taco trucks, and sandwich carts are a reliable way to earn money. But what does the business plan for one of these companies need to cover? First of all the plan describes what the products themselves will be. Besides chips, what else does your truck sell? What food items or combos are most popular, and what do they cost? It should be clear to a reader what your menu will cover, even if you haven't made up the actual menu yet. The plan should also:
• Identify your target customer and talk about their commonalities
• Give a brief overview of the local market you'll service
• Include industry data and trends
• Outline how many employees you will need, and when they get hired
• Show how you will use the start-up funding you get
The plan needs a three-year financial pro forma in order to be presented at the bank, and SBA standards dictate that you include a revenue forecast, break-even analysis, P&L and balance sheet, and a year one breakdown showing monthly estimates for costs, sales, and other metrics. The plan should also have a bio section where you describe yourself and any key staff members.
