Screen enclosure companies business plans show several things to make the business model clear to bankers or investors who might not understand the product offering or the market for it. For example, if it's not obvious that you manufacture screens designed specifically to make studio apartments into livable quarters, and you only sell to new homeowners with less that 800 square feet in property, then you should spell this out in no uncertain terms. The business plan should describe the products carefully and then look at the market for screen enclosures with as much detail as possible. Lay out:
• The target market for your products
• The dimensions, colors, and uses of the enclosures you create
• The COGS and estimates sales for each unit type
• The personnel levels you expect to need to maintain
• The funding request you will make and your uses of the same
The plan should illustrate that you know how to spend the seed capital, by category, in addition to what rate of sales will be required for you to cash flow the basic overhead/OpEx you will encounter every month. The full model needs to show a start-up summary, revenue forecast, break-even analysis (you should be profitable within 12-24 months), profit and loss, cash flow, and a balance sheet for each year. The pro forma should extend for 5 years if you're presenting to investors and 3 years if you only need bank funding or a line of credit. Need more help?
