Desktop publishing business plan documents show that you can use DTP to help clients get their materials spruced up and hosted online. The plan needs to illustrate that you can profitably run this business model without overspending on software or client acquisition methods. If you have already generated some revenue with desktop publishing, consider maybe showing your business success to date in a past performance table (balance sheets and profit and loss statements) or giving a brief company history overview in the document. If your company is a pure start-up, you need to show why you can succeed in this competitive market space. Cover all of the following:
• What are the industry statistics in support of your concept?
• What software or equipment would you need to acquire?
• What is the average value of a client engagement?
• What is the service suite you envision providing, specifically?
• When do you need to hire support staff, if ever?
• How much capital are you seeking?
The business plan should show precisely how you will dedicate the start-up funding you get, by category, as well as when you project reaching break-even. The financial model needs to include a revenue forecast, profit and loss, cash flow statement, balance sheet, and an overview of key metrics/ratios for investors. Having a monthly picture of each main table for the first year you'll be open post-funding is also a good idea (put this in the appendix).
