What goes into a goat meat business plan? The big picture objective is describing how much goat meat you can produce and sell, and at what price points. But the plan is a little more complicated than that. Who are your buyers? Are there grocery stores in the area that will take the meat from you for sale, or will you supply directly to ethnic restaurants, or do you have another course of action to ensure a steady customer base? Make this clear because it's critical. Additional elements of the plan include the following:
• Does your farm or ranch raise any other types of meat or commodities that you want to model into the plan?
• What other meat companies are you in competition with and where are they?
• What are your staffing needs for the operation over 3-5 years?
• Can you define the market need for goat meat products? This is vital for the Small Business Administration.
These are the major but not the sole questions your business plan should answer. What about the market and industry stats? Can you define your customer profile and show whether demand is expected to rise or fall in the near term? The goat meat business plan also needs a financial model showing three years (at minimum) of revenue and expenses including a cash flow, P&L, balance sheet, and break-even analysis.
