A sport coaching clinic business plan needs to take several things into account: the market for sports locally, the population and spending patterns for similar services in the greater region, and the prevalence and success of comparable companies. In making your projected financial performance tables for your company, you will need to rely on primary research (calling for insurance quotes, getting permitting figures, etc.) as well as secondary research (seeing what people say online about competitors, finding out how many people the Census says are near your intended headquarters, and so forth). Some of the core questions to answer in the business plan include the following, though this list is not comprehensive:
• What sports will your coaches specialize in?
• What are the precise services and what does a contract/agreement look like?
• What is the likely average value of a client?
• How many people can you work with in a given month or year?
• What are the performance metrics on which your coaches will be judged?
• When can you break-even after start-up ends?
The business plan's financial model will need to make a clear case for the use of funds, showing the categories to which you'll allot funding and the timeline of their use. The pro forma should also include a revenue forecast, break-even analysis, a full P&L, the cash flow, and a balance sheet for the life of the projection. Showing five years is best if you intend to seek angel investment; a bank-ready plan should be presentation-ready with only a three-year forecast. In either event, be sure to include a complete competitive assessment, marketing and management plan, and an exit scenario if you plan to exit the business.
