A video editing business plan talks about the service suite and the market opportunity for a company that profits from offering professional editing services for videographers, producers, or other end users who shoot video. Typically, outside of Hollywood, video editors are working on projects like commercials, municipal presentations, and corporate marketing collateral (to name just a few). A video editing business needs a business plan that proves the company has a solid base of current or potential customers to sell to. The market data this plan should offer to the reader includes:
• A list of current customers/contracts, if any
• The target market scope
• Buying patterns and price points with this base of clients
• Industry research on video services
• A competitive comparison section
The business plan for a video editing company also needs a section that defines the services themselves. If you offer any package deals, describe the components. If all work is contracted hourly, give rates and topics. From there, be sure to cover your management team (and personnel plan if you need to hire help), your marketing strategy (how will you get your name in front of potential clients?), and your market needs assessment. The plan will also require a pro forma financial model showing at least three years of projected revenues and expenses (an angel investor will want to see five years).
