A sump pump business plan can be used by a manufacturer or an installer; the document just has to speak to the industry-specific market opportunity depending on what your business does. If you manufacture sump pumps or create component parts that are used in the devices, your cost structure and buyer profile will different from a waterproofing or residential construction company that serves mainly to install existing units. Depending on what your place is in this industry, collect as many statistics as you can about the potential for continued revenues. Provided you are in business already, compile your profit and loss statements and balance sheets into a tidy past performance sheet as well. If you're a pure start-up, start with the all-important questions:
• What is the market need for your service?
• What types of pumps do you create or install?
• Who are the buyers (residential or commercial)?
• What specifications do you adhere to?
• What are the testing requirements?
• What use of funds do you envision?
The sump pump business plan needs to have a financial section that gives investors or bank loan officers determining creditworthiness a strong idea about your business or concept and its potential returns. A company that services consumers with leaky basements should have information on weather patterns, the age of homes in the area, and so forth. A national manufacturer distributor might be more interested in housing starts, commercial statistics, etc. but make sure this information flows into your pro forma intelligently. You will need at least a 3 year model of revenues and expenses. MasterPlans can put the business plan together for you if you want to outsource the task.
