Film editing business plans describe the market opportunity behind a business that offers its creative suite and manpower to editing film shot for motion pictures, shorts, or other projects ranging from corporate video shoots to weddings. The film editing process requires specialized software and advanced know-how, so there is a distinct value proposition to a qualified provider of these services. But how do you get recognized by a funding source? How do you get a banker or an angel investor to go in with you so your film editing business can take flight? You need a business plan that shows how profitable the space can be – a document that makes these points clear:
• What is the market opportunity in your area?
• How will you market yourself to gain new clients?
• What are the costs for equipment, maintenance, repairs, etc.?
• What staff will you need to hire?
• How much capital are you planning to seek?
• How will you allocate these seed money?
A detailed use of funds forecast is just part of the larger financial pro forma. The business plan will ultimately need to show 3-5 years (5 years for investors/VC; 3 for a bank loan) of revenues and expenses with a projected net profit as the end point. The numbers should be based on competitive comparables and industry averages. Don't have access to these figures? Not sure who your competitors are, or what strengths you might be able to use against them? It might help to talk to someone about your business before you start writing your own plan.
