Writing an escort service business plan? The topic may elicit raised eyebrows and you might get the third degree at the bank, but in many states this is a wholly legitimate business model that offers the opportunities for substantial profits with little overhead. Your ideal escort service business plan will describe the way the service will work in as much detail as possible, noting its adherence to state and federal laws where necessary. You should focus less on descriptions of what an encounter might look like than on a description of the business model itself. How will money change hands? Do customers pay the company by credit card, and payments are made to employees through standard payroll cycles? Are some workers 1099 contractors instead? What other fees do you encounter – permitting, marketing, office, etc.? Will your operation be headquartered at a brick and mortar site, or run as a home-based business? If you don't know yet, can you describe the benefits of one approach versus another so that a funding source can tell you've considering all factors? This is important.
An escort service business plan needs to cover all of the follow basics:
What does the local market look like? If you cater more to travelers/people on business than residents, what metrics can you use to show how big this market is?
Do you face any direct competition? If so, profile these players.
What marketing strategies can you explore within the bounds of the law? Will all ads be print-based or on the Internet?
Are there any management team gaps you need to fill? What does the personnel plan look like over three years?
You will also need to give as accurate a read as possible on what your sales, expenses, and profit could be over a 3-5 year period. This should include a cash flow, balance sheet, profit and loss statement, revenue forecast, and preferably a sensitivity analysis and monthly break down for the first year of operations post-funding.
