Tree pruning business plan documents should provide information about the scope of the local market – both residential and commercial. If you know the approximate breakdown of your sales to homeowners vs. your contracts with companies, then show this in a traditional market segmentation chart and tie your market analysis data into the financial pro forma. If not, simply show the likely break out of your revenues by contract size and frequency. Do you know whether the company will charge an hourly rate for tree pruning or do every job by contract? What equipment will you use and what is the selling point you can claim for the business in your marketing materials? Talk about:
• The sort of tree pruning projects you can do
• Any ancillary arboreal or landscaping services offered
• The geographic region (radius around a city) that you will service
• The main competitors to your business
• Your three-year plan (marketing)
The business plan for a tree pruning company will require a three-year financial pro forma in order to be presented for funding at the bank. You'll want to identify the uses of funds and the loan repayment schedule, along with a sensible break-even point. Knowing what your assumptions are for the financial pro forma can help make changes easier down the line, so keep them straight in a table of “drivers†that link to your projections. Also include a section in the plan about your personnel needs (payroll employees, or 1099 contractors?) and your own background.
