Each business plan is fully
customized to accommodate
each client's business model;
although, most business
plans contain the following
core sections:
Executive Summary
The
Executive Summary provides
a snapshot of your company
and summarizes each of
the core sections of the
business plan. It
is typically one to
four pages in length.
Company Overview
The
Company Overview provides
investors with a detailed
synopsis that includes a
company description, industry
background, key business
strengths, capital requirements,
a summary of the market
analysis, and company history
(if applicable).
The Market
The
Market Section provides
a forum to assess the fundamental
supply and demand factors
present in the company’s
specific industry.
To assess demand, CWA utilizes
subscription databases to
gather market figures, trends,
and market segment analyses.
CWA then organizes this
information and performs
a market analysis.
Often, this information
will be specific to a particular
geographic region, city,
or community. To assess
supply, we perform detailed
industry analyses that profile
the key industry players
and their respective strengths
and weaknesses. We
also provide detailed descriptions
of every relevant direct
competitor, including capabilities,
target market, and overall
business model. This
data is then synthesized
to develop a unique and
comprehensive competitive
strategy.
Products and services
The
Products and Services Section
is a meticulous description
of every product and service
that the business will offer
that generates revenue or
otherwise supports the business
model. Each product
and service that your company
offers will be effectively
promoted within the context
of your company’s overall
mission and competitive
strategy. Additionally,
CWA will develop product
and service rollout strategies
with strategic goals and
milestones to maximize sales
efforts.
Marketing Plan
The
Marketing Plan is an essential
component of the Business
Plan that describes the
company’s overall marketing
and sales strategy.
CWA will develop a comprehensive
marketing campaign for your
company to maximize the
number of customers and
obtain the highest possible
returns on advertising.
Typical marketing methods
that CWA implements include
print advertising, radio
advertising, television
advertising, direct mail,
public relations, promotional
strategy, affiliate marketing,
and Internet marketing.
CWA carefully develops the
marketing and sales campaign
in accordance with the overall
branding & pricing strategies.
Operations Plan
The
Operations Plan develops
and organizes each of the
key elements that comprise
the company’s daily operations.
Although every business
is different to varying
degrees, these elements
typically include facility
layout, inventory control,
maintenance, distribution,
manufacturing, sales &
billing, accounting, marketing,
legal, insurance, and equipment
requirements.
Management and Staff
Often
overlooked, the Management
and Staff section is frequently
an integral part of the
business plan in terms of
gaining investor interest
and confidence in the opportunity.
CWA reviews each key member’s
expertise to develop well-written
personal biographies.
For all management and staff
positions that have not
yet been filled, we will
develop a detailed summary
of responsibilities to maintain
overall continuity.
Financial Plan
The
Financial Plan and Corresponding
Pro-Forma Financial Statements
are crucial elements when
negotiating with investors
or applying for a commercial/SBA
loan. CWA develops
defensible financial assumptions
to project the five-year
Pro-forma Income Statement,
Statement of Cash Flows,
and the Balance Sheet.
CWA’s financial statements
far exceed industry standards
by formulating all three
statements monthly for years
1 and 2, quarterly for years
3 and 4, and annually for
year 5. Once the financial
statements are complete,
CWA develops a comprehensive
financial strategy that
proposes capital requirements,
stages of funding, and exit
strategy.
