Private banker business plans are designed to describe the market opportunity surrounding private investments for high net worth individuals. But like any formal document designed for funding in the finance arena, you need to have a detailed plan that adheres to regulatory guidelines and takes into account the unique concerns that banking industry ventures face. As a private banker, you will need to show who your customer base is, where they're concentrated, how you will reach them, and what margins you can maintain on your services. Core questions are these:
• What are your average commissions and fees?
• How many clients can you take on per year, by your estimates?
• What marketing methods are most realistic for your banking business?
• Who are you in direct competition with?
• What amount of capital do you require to start or grow this venture?
In addition to the request for capital, your business plan should include a complete breakdown of funds with a category-by-category division of start-up funding. Also show the break-even point you hope to meet and the expected revenues, expenses, and other key metrics that your banking business should display for a funding source. Let your partners or investors know what their share could yield -- it's all in the model, done correctly. Need assistance?
