Looking for guides for business plans? There is a whole universe of material written to help you develop your business plan -- from templates to step-by-step manuals, you'll find no shortage of business plan primers and guide books. They all say essentially the same thing: create a believable, working business plan that describes a market opportunity and makes a compelling case for your ability to generate steady revenues for at least 3 to 5 years. If you are seeking a bank loan, using the SBA's business plan guidelines is a great start:
• How will you allocate start-up capital?
• When can you reach break-even?
• What is the market need for your product or service?
• How much profit can you project for year three?
The business plan guides will also recommend -- rightly -- that you examine competitors and use their business models to measure your own strengths and weaknesses. Marketing elements are also important and should be described in detail. And who is on your management team? How many employees will the business require? Make a personnel forecast that squares with the sales you forecast. Need a financial model, industry report, or other guidance? Call MasterPlans.
