Looking for narrated business plans? Business plans with narrative generally take form in PowerPoint or similar presentation software. In some cases, there are advanced displays like multimedia presentations that walk the viewer through the critical pieces of a business model and make the business plan itself come alive in a string of tables, images, and stats. While this may seem like the only way to get a real audience for your idea, it's often not necessary. The standard business plan – particularly of the sort presented to the Small Business Administration or for basic investment – only need to focus on the nuts and bolts of the company and its market:
• What is the market opportunity?
• What service suite or product line do you deliver?
• What are the competitive forces it will face?
• How will you market your ideas to the public?
• Who do you need to recruit to fulfill this vision?
The personnel plan and the start-up summary should both demonstrate an understanding of how to allocate seed capital and what sort of people you'll have to bring onboard to get the job done. Beyond that, the model will need to show a revenue forecast, break-even analysis, the profit and loss, cash flow tables, and balance sheets for the life of the model. These parts don't need to be showy or narrated, they just need to be clear and convincing. A solid presentation will generally include some aesthetic flair, that's true, but this is a substance over style business. Need to learn more, or want to have professionals give you a hand?
