If you're looking for a parking lot striping business plan, the first place to start is with the question of what your area of operations is. If you have your headquarters in a U.S. city, how many parking lots are there that might need this service, what is the market forecast for continued commercial development, and where are new residential complexes being built that you might be able to bid on? The question of what work there will be – amount, type, etc. – is integral to your plan and should be explored in as much detail as possible. Census Bureau reporting, municipal land use committees, and basic business sector research can help answer these questions. Beyond that, the business plan should answer these questions:
• What amount of capital are you seeking to begin/expand operations?
• What is your background in this industry?
• If your company is already underway, what past performance do you have to share?
• What are the personnel requirements going forward?
• Can you list and detail the equipment you'll have to lease or purchase?
The business plan for parking lot striping also needs to discuss the marketing strategies you can put into practice. How will you get awarded new jobs? Who do you market to, the property owners, government agencies, larger contractors? Having an implementation plan is important, even if the details change as you progress. The plan also needs a management summary telling who you are and what the team looks like, and you should include a pro forma financial model providing estimates of sales and expenses over a period of at least 3 years.
