Looking for information on how niche market retail business plans should be prepared? The benefit behind having a niche market -- or a product or concept that will appeal to a small, self-selected audience -- is that you have a very refined target market. Because of that, your business will be able to create an effective target market segment strategy much more easily than a company with a broad service suite and a nebulous or sprawling set of demographic targets. You probably know your end user in great detail, and you can use that to your advantage both in the start-up phase and in the business planning process itself. Remember that no matter what your niche, the plan needs to address:
• The market need your product or service addresses
• The spending potential of your target customers
• The price points you'll aim for with your product or service, weighed against the COGS and OpEx
• The marketing plan you'll use
• The funding you require and the uses you will put it to
The business plan for a niche market concept should describe the product or service in great detail. Don't assume that just because the connection seems obvious, a reader won't want to hear how you personally see this business offering fitting in with the target market. You also need statistics on the industry, preferably on a local and a national level, and you should have current figures and research tied into your financial pro forma (take care to list out all your working assumptions). The pro forma should provide three years of estimated financial performance for a bank; an investor or VC will require a five-year model and an ROI calculation.
