As a starting entrepreneur it\u2019s important to start with making a business plan. On this page we provide you with an example, it also contains information and comments. Should you have any other questions; you can always ask them at administration office Optimum AA.<\/p>\n
In a business plan you start with introducing yourself and any business partners. This introduction\u2019s an overview of your personal information. The first part of making a business plan looks like making curriculum vitae. Your personal characteristics are also important.
\nAlso implement the answers to questions like:
\n–\tWhy do you wish to become an entrepreneur?
\n–\tWhat makes you a good entrepreneur?
\n–\tWhat are your competences and goals?<\/p>\n
The next step in making a business plan has mostly to do with explaining your company idea. The idea has to be catchy, make sure that you can explain this idea well within a couple of minutes and sentences. Come up with a fitting name for your business\/company. Consider what kind of business entity you wish to use for your company. Where do you wish to establish your company? What kind of need do you think you\u2019ll provide? Where are the opportunities for your company? What\u2019re the possible risks for your company?<\/p>\n
The last two questions can best be answered by using the SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats).<\/p>\n
The next step has everything to do with exploring the market. You can do this by doing market research. Discover who your clients are, but also who your competitors are and if there\u2019s a demand for your services\/products. By doing this you\u2019ll also be able to think about choosing your marketing strategy. It\u2019s wise to notify, in your business plan, which permits u have\/or want to apply for. Which insurances you have\/or want to have for the enterprise and last but not least, how you plan to do your administrative work.<\/p>\n
Funding plan<\/strong> Income statement (operating budget)<\/strong>
\nLast follows the funding plan. This is one of the most important parts. Clearly indicate what the amount\u2019s that you think you need and where you\u2019ll spend it on. Try to personally invest in your enterprise, it\u2019ll show that you believe in your own company.<\/p>\n
\nThe income statement should include your estimations of the company performances that can be realized. The company performances should include your estimations of turnover, costs and company profit or loss for the future. The expected future company performances should be as realistic as possible, because an unrealistic estimation will discourage you and will give the financer a bad view if the true company performances deviate too much from the estimations. Therefore it\u2019s highly advised to make a conservative estimations\/budget, because it\u2019s easier to explain company performances what\u2019re better than initially budgeted.<\/p>\n
