Curious about the new peer to peer car sharing business plan, or the model that a company like this follows to turn a profit? If you've ever seen a parking spot exclusively for ZipCar or an advertisement for a ride sharing board, you know that carpooling has joined the 21st century. In fact, as pricing pressures continue to squeeze consumers who are now facing $50-$100 per tank fill-ups, the need for some alternative to everyday driving is more clear than ever before. In the peer to peer car sharing business model, a car owner makes the sensible decision to cut their maintenance expenses down and raise the value of their vehicle by arranging to share it with a like-minded driver who lives in the area. On a large scale, this is a sound business opportunity. Your plan should address/include:
• The mechanism for revenues
• Your start-up expenses
• The marketing approach you'll use
• The target market, locally and nationally
• A sensible pro forma
The peer to peer car sharing business plan will need a five-year financial forecast if you need angel investment to get going. Angels will also want to see some calculation of the ROI, a detailed list of assumptions year over year, and possibly an exit strategy to see if it aligns with their approach. A bank plan requires a little less detail, but you will still have to illustrate the sales and expenses you figure you'll incur for three years, modeling out a logical break-even point and estimating a net profit percentage that makes sense for Year 3. The market analysis should look at competing business models as well. Feel like there's too much information to wrestle with? MasterPlans makes it simple.
