Retail banking business plan files are no less economy in the current economy than they ever were. Despite the troubles that banks face during tough economic times, and the tightened budgets that new lending standards and federal regulations have enforced, there is still considerable activity in the retail banking industry. If you're starting a new retail bank in the US and need a document to pitch the idea to investors (or get backing from some other capital body), you will most likely require a detailed proposal that includes a five-year financial pro forma and an intensive industry and market analysis for the venture. Key questions include:
• What amount of capitalization is appropriate?
• What is the length of start-up you envision?
• Do you have a personnel plan prepared?
• When do you anticipate break-even?
• What is the market need your bank fulfills, if unique?
The business plan for a retail bank should also talk in detail about client acquisition strategies and the methods you can put in play to obtain new accounts. Tie that into an assumptions table (marketing X in channels Y will net customer revenues Z) and demonstrate how this enables you to grow. The business plan also needs a competitive comparison in which you analyze the companies most like yours (regional banks, industry's largest players, etc) and address the competitive advantages you can wield.
