Business Planning - Launching and Growing Your Business

Business Planning – Launching and Growing Your Business

Business Planning Launching and Growing Your Business

We work with entrepreneurs and aid in developing a business plan. But, as important as the finished business plan is, equally important is the process. In developing a business plan from scratch – together, we explore the market, find an unmet need,  create a product or service in response to the demand, figure out how to position it, figure out how to price it, determine breakeven, overhead, and ultimately what will get the business to profitability.

It sounds like a lot, and it is. The goal is to ensure you understand your business and your competitive landscape. Then, we will crunch numbers, create projections, and determine the feasibility of launching this venture before you’ve signed a lease, quit your job, or sunk your life savings into an idea.

We focus on providing due diligence on current and potential market opportunities. This includes understanding the market, the likely share, positioning in that market, and accessing the resources necessary to execute. The result is a realistic plan and process that achieves growth and profitability.

Strategic Goals

For most people, starting a business is more than hoping to get rich. And since running a business can be very encompassing, it is essential to understand why the entrepreneur is doing so in the first place. Some people want to schedule flexibility to be with their children. Others wish for the creative freedom to develop new products and explore new ideas. Others want to make the world a better place.

Whatever the reason, the business still needs to make money.   We work to ensure your personal goals are compatible with a viable business idea. You can’t build a better mousetrap if you are worried about paying the bills.

Marketing Plans

Market analysis to decide what groups of customers (or markets) exist, what their needs are, what groups of customers you prefer to serve (target markets), what products or services you might develop to meet their needs, how the customers use the products and services, what your competitors are doing, what pricing you should use and how you should distribute products and services to customers. The plan will indicate the organization’s position or market “niche.” The marketing plan will also address ongoing promotions, including advertising, PPC and Adwords, social media branding, public relations, sales, and customer service.

Action Plans

The business plan becomes your road map to launching and growing your business. And as part of the process, we will develop action plans to execute the business plan. What needs to get done? When? By Who? Where? At what cost?

We will help you create the discipline and routine to achieve your business’s desired results. We offer you our extensive financial and industry expertise so that it can save you time and money as you manage your business. We will help you achieve your success more efficiently and effectively.

Business Financial Statements

We firmly believe you can’t run a successful business if you don’t get the numbers. Your decisions will directly impact the bottom line and whether the doors stay open. So we work together to determine start-up costs, cash flows, sales projections, breakeven analysis, and financial statements.

It is essential to understand the numbers and what they are telling you. For example, your receivables are growing; is that a good thing? How many jobs do you need to do to cover overhead? Can you afford to buy that new truck? We make terms like ROI, B/E, and COGS understandable and useful. We call this Financial Literacy.

Cash Flow Management

In the beginning, it was all about cash flow. How much do you need to launch this business? We call that starting capital. How much do you need to get to break even? We request that working capital. Where is it coming from – Your savings? An investor? Will you need to keep your day job? We work through those questions together and develop a breakeven capital needs assessment.

Cash flow is about ensuring there s enough cash when needed. For example, is there enough cash for the rent? To pay for merchandise? To commit to hiring a part-time employee? We can answer these questions through cash flow statements and financial projections.
