Soda business plans can be used in several ways. Few consumer products are as enduring and popular as soda pop, and despite the dominant market share of Coca-Cola and Pepsi, a stream of successful start-ups have been rolling out new sodas for the past two decades. Variations like sugar-free, all-natural, and distinctly flavored brands have led to an ever-expanding selection of sodas on shelves at stores all across the nation. But the soda business plan itself is also a versatile document. It can be used to seek funding, describe your company's operations to date, or simply to help clarify your thoughts on hiring timelines, new markets to pursue, or what the competition is doing. You should cover:
• The market share of the main competitors
• Profiles of the brands closest to your own
• The markets you envision selling in
• The staffing levels you'll have to maintain to grow
• The ongoing OpEx your business faces
• The ultimate profitability with 3 years or 5 years
The business plan for soda should have a financial pro forma, particularly if you intend to raise capital. Investors will need to see you project revenues and expenses out to a point five years removed from the end of start-up; most banks will only require a three-year model. Show your intended use of funds, the start-up summary and highlights, and all of the assumptions and ratios that are going into your plan. You'll do well to include a management section and a marketing plan that speak to your market, as well as a comprehensive industry analysis.
