For a zoning company business plan, it is important that you define precisely what your company does in the market and who it serves. It won't be immediately apparent to most readers how a zoning company functions or what its service is made up of, so don't skimp on detail when you're describing how the company operates and what the service looks like. If you work mainly for commercial contractors, examine the depth of that market and maybe give some examples of past contracts. If you mostly team up on city projects or bid for municipal work orders, what is their frequency and their value? What can you reasonably expect, income-wise, in the first few years of your business? If your company is already earning revenue, show:
• Some typical contracts (summaries)
• The past 2-3 years' P&Ls
• Balance sheets for the same window
• A description of your highs and lows to date
• The corporate structure and ownership
A start-up zoning company will need a more in-depth business plan, at least as far as the market analysis is concerned. The best zoning company business plan should explore the potential for future contracts by looking at the market conditions currently, pulling in statistics about the industry in recent years, and examining competitors. What can you learn from the other businesses that bid for these jobs? What strengths and weaknesses do you see, and how can knowing these things help inform how you run your own company? The zoning company business plan's financial pro forma, marketing plan, and market analysis are equally important.
