A computer forensics business plan is a unique document. Computer forensics is an emerging field wherein forensics experts probe into digital artifacts to explore the systems and storage media that have been employed to save data. While the scope of a company specializing in computer forensics will vary, information retrieval and event reconstruction are common services. These companies often offer their expertise in legal matters or by working for private firms seeking to obtain seemingly-lost or irrecoverable data series logged in the digital environment. The business plan for a company of this nature is similar to the plan for other IT-based service providers in many ways:
• The plan should show who your primary competitors are.
• It needs to outline the service suite point by point.
• The plan will need a market analysis for your region or target industry sectors.
• The document will perform best with a full set of financial estimates.
These are not the sole considerations; showing a market need (no matter how obvious it may seem) and explaining how you intend to market the services are both vital components of the business plan and neither should be minimized. If your computer forensics business is already in operation, and a past performance table would be suitable for your plan, put together your past 2-3 years of financial statements (profit and loss and balance sheets) and write up a brief summary of your accomplishments so far. This can be a strong complement to a full financial model built in software or Excel. Need some support with the market research, marketing, or modeling components?
