2 Business Plan Background A business plan details major characteristics of a firm – its product/service, industry, market, manner of operating, and financial outcomes emphasizing the firm’s present and future. Two circumstances when a business plan is necessary. • When outsiders expect it – external legitimacy. • For internal understanding. Remember - different groups look for different kinds of benefits. • You may have different types of plans for different audiences. • A family member may want different information than an angel. Lean business practices argue all you need is a pitch deck. • Yet a business plan is essential for a clear understanding of the business – for yourself, your partners, and your employees.
3.

3 The Business Plan Story: Starting Small and Building Up A business plan is a story telling about a future place – your business. Your story must fit the audience’s time. Four presentation types: Vision statements. Elevator pitches. Executive summaries. Business plans. Access text alternative for this image.
4.
© McGraw-Hill Education
4 The Vision Statement The vision statement is a simple 5- to 10-word sentence. • Should be inspiring, overarching, and long term. • Bill Gates and Paul Allen started Microsoft as teenagers with the vision “a computer on every desk – running Microsoft software.” A tagline is a mantra – brief and memorable. • Book Passage: The Bay Area’s Liveliest Bookstore. • Crum Electric Supply: Plug into Quality- People, Products, Service. • Progressive Insulation & Windows: Total Living Comfort. A related concept is the mission statement, which is a bit longer and often adds the firm’s competitive advantage.
5.
© McGraw-Hill Education
5 The Elevator Pitch An elevator pitch is an action-oriented description of your business designed to open the door to a more in-depth dialogue. Elevator pitches have four success factors: • First find a hook – describe a problem people face. • Second, focus on the solution your product provides. • Third, provide support to prove your solution works – traction is best. • Finally, always close with an ask – get the listener to make a micro- commitment – contact information so you can build your network.
6.
© McGraw-Hill Education
6 The Executive Summary An executive summary is what most people read when they receive a plan. • Typically one page, but a freestanding summary can go as long as five pages. • These are the most common items sent to someone who asks about your business. • Written in a formal style, suitable for investors. • Usually arranged in short paragraphs which typically cover five key topics. Problem. Product. Market. Competitive advantages. Business/team. Financial summary.
7.
© McGraw-Hill Education
7 The Business Plan The full (or classic) business plan runs 18 pages. • May be longer for new products or shorter for imitative products. Some sections from the feasibility study align with sections of the business plan. • For example, the IDEO’s technical feasibility screen corresponds to: • The business model canvas’ problem solution. • The feasibility study’s business idea and product/service sections. • The business plan’s company, product/service section. Cover letter. Title page and table of contents. Executive summary. The company, product/service, and industry. The market. The organization. Financial summary. The appendixes.
8.
© McGraw-Hill Education
8 The Business Plan: Cover Letter and Title Page When sending a business plan to someone, include a cover letter. • One page. • Introduces the plan and owner. • Indicates why the recipient is asked to read the plan. • Traditionally done on letterhead, but can be an email if submitted electronically. • If so, use a signature block for your business. The title page contains: • Company name and logo. • Contact information. • Date this version of the plan was completed. • Proprietary statement to protect your ideas and a copy number. • You may need to include a securities disclaimer. • The person who wrote the plan, if other than the owner. • A copyright notice is optional.
9.
© McGraw-Hill Education
9 The Business Plan: Table of Contents and Executive Summary The table of contents page. • Lists major section headings in boldface. • Page numbers for every component, including financials. • Every page should be numbered. • Typically the second page of the plan packet. Many entrepreneurs write the one- page executive summary first. • Then use it as a guide for the rest of the plan. • Covering the major sections is the usual strategy. • It is common to revise the summary. • Your thinking changes as you write the plan. • This is the first and also the last item you will edit.
10.
© McGraw-Hill Education
10 The Business Plan: Company, Product/Service, and Industry Company description. • State the vision or tagline and a brief description of the business. • Its age, current status (and milestones), location, and its markets. Product/service and value proposition. • An important section – where the reader understands your business. • Starts with the pain and gain. • If the product/service is a proprietary technology, mention your patent, trademark, or copyright here. Industry. • The formal name and NAICS number. • Its size and whether the industry is growing, stable, or in decline.
11.
© McGraw-Hill Education
11 The Business Plan: The Market Market and target customer. • Describe the market in terms of size, scope, and channels. • Describe target customers by demographics, product use, purchase schedule, and experience with similar items. • Describe each target segment. Competition and competitive advantage. • Identify competitors by name. • Focus on your firm’s competitive advantages. Marketing strategy. • Focus on overall strategy, sales plans to apply strategies, and long-term plans. • Give pilot test results, sales, or preselling efforts. R&D/growth plan or next steps. • Explains how you will maintain a competitive advantage. • Discuss long-term partnerships, new markets, or ways to leverage assets.
12.
© McGraw-Hill Education
12 The Business Plan: The Organization Legal and organizational structures and IP and locations. • Describe the firm’s legal form, where it is registered, and located. • List licenses, certifications, or intellectual property protections. Key personnel. • Owners and senior managers. • Those handling key aspects. • Talk about accomplishments rather than just experience. • Also mention total employees and their status. Related service providers. • Identify your banker, attorney, accountant, consultants. • Any major relationships with suppliers or customers. • Board of directors. Key activities and operations. • Identifying familiar operations is useful. • Highlight something in how you operate that is distinctive. • Mention any specialized operations here.
13.
© McGraw-Hill Education
13 The Business Plan: The Financial Summary Starts with a summary table of financial results, followed by “the ask.” • A set of financial reports or projections comprise most of the appendix. • Develop the financials in the most conservative way possible. • Explain assumptions and be ready to give the source of every number. “The ask” section typically talks about how much money is needed and how the funds will be used. • Address any prior or existing investments and current ownership. • Explain the funding type offered, give the price and any assurances. • Describe how investors will be able to harvest their money and exit. • Explain how management will be responsive to investor concerns.
14.
© McGraw-Hill Education
14 The Business Plan: The Appendixes Certain financial statements are expected. • Income statement and cash flow tables – year 1 monthly, years 2-3 annually. • Balance sheet for years 1-3 by year. • Include assumptions in endnotes or footnotes. • Include a start-up budget. • Include a timeline or a milestone list. • Any supporting materials that helps you tell your story better. Product/service pics or specifications. Copies of signed contracts or letters of intent. Marketing study results or pilot sales efforts. Industry reports. Price lists. Location floor plans. Advertising copy. Testimonials. Letters of opinion. Bios of key personnel.
15.
© McGraw-Hill Education
15 The Mechanics of a Business Plan After the plan is written – either from scratch or using a template – you must assemble it. • Typically a document or PDF – with no spelling or grammar errors. • Distribute spiral bound copies which lay flat when opened. • Your copy should be kept in a 3-ring binder for adjustments. • Take the binder with you if you give a presentation. • The electronic version of the binder is called a data room, and is what you share with potential investors as they do their due diligence.
16.
© McGraw-Hill Education
16 Focusing Your Business Plan Plans for a pioneering business. • Your problems are helping people understand how it works, showing them how to use it, estimating potential customers and price. • Preselling, pilot tests, or test marketing is important here. Plans for a new entrant business. • To prove your product/service will work, make it familiar by detailing how it is used by customers, provide similar market sales statistics. • Emphasize existing operations in your industry analysis Plans for an existing business. • Projections should build on historical facts. Plans for a business with significant government involvement. • Anticipate delays and offer work-arounds.
17.
© McGraw-Hill Education
17 Special-Purpose Versions of the Business Plan Specialized plans meet the needs of a wide variety of people. • Private banks, investment clubs, or VC firms are commonly sent a mini-plan or a screening plan. • Use an informational plan if you do not wish to share the financials. • An informational plan posted online is a proof-of-concept website to solicit customer interest. • A key employee/partner plan also lacks financials, also called a summary plan, concept plan, or idea plan. • An invention plan focuses on the market and operationalization of a new invention, but typically lacks the marketing strategy. • Operational plans include the full business plan but add details on major techniques, methods, recipes, formulas, and sources. • A private placement memorandum (PPM) or an offering circular (OC) is used for equity crowdfunding under the JOBS Act.
18.

18 The Most Common Critical Risks in a Plan Each risk can be handled, but the best test is feedback. 1. Overstated numbers. 2. Numbers that are wrong. 3. Inadequate cushion – you need working capital. 4. Inadequate payback. 5. Narrative and financials that do not fit. 6. No direct customer connection. 7. Uncertain sales (especially conversion rates or hit rates. 8. Overlooked competition. 9. Experience deficits. 10. “What” problems. 11. Deadly aggravations. • Look and sound professional. • No misspellings. • Lacking a table of contents frustrates readers. • Selling, instead of summarizing, in the executive summary is unprofessional.
19.

19 Pitching Your Plan When you make a formal presentation of your plan, this is called a pitch and the slideshow you create to accompany you is the pitch deck. Covey the following things. • Passion for your business. • Expertise about the business and the plan. • How professional you are in your work. • How easy it would be to work with you. Listeners provide you with value in the questions they ask and the feedback they give.
