A venison business plan describes the type of venison you offer (varieties, cuts, etc.) and the seasons during which it will be in highest supply. The plan also looks at competing business models to determine average price points at wholesale or retail, staffing levels, likely market share, and other key metrics that only competitive research can determine. Venison is consumed all across the world but has the heaviest consumption rates in Canada, Alaska, and the mountain states in the mainland U.S. You should identify these as your target markets – and include any other expansion areas you envision for the business – and also show the following:
• Industry stats on meat consumption
• Seasonality associated with venison hunting
• Shelf life of packaged meat
• Use value of non-edible animal parts, if applicable
• The market need
• The target end-use consumers
The business plan also needs a range of financial statements so that bankers or investors know what you expect the financial performance to be over the long-term. A three-year model is generally sufficient for bank lending while investor or VC plans need a five-year model that shows revenues, break-even point, cash flow, balance sheet, and profit and loss statements.
