Do you need a steel brokers business plan? Steel brokerage businesses typically seek expansion or support capital from the bank (often in the form of a line of credit) or from private investors will agree to help the venture. If your brokerage is in fact an existing operation, it can be helpful to show three years worth of past performance data -- balance sheets and profit and loss statements, summarized into a table. Don't worry if there is a rocky patch in there; a footnote describing the aberration should suffice. Beyond the past performance table, the plan should outline the following:
• What do you envision the growth pattern of the steel brokering operation being over the next 3-5 years?
• If you will expand into new markets, what would those be and can you describe them?
• What subsidies and considerations might you be eligible for to help an investor cash flow the brokerage?
• Do you need to bring on more employees and if so, when and how many and at what base rate?
Like any business plan, a steel brokerage or foundry document should also describe the market opportunity you envision going forward and use industry data to support any claim of growth. It should also supply the reader with a full set of financial projections showing expenses and revenues anticipated for the coming 3-5 years.
