Your Business Plan

Whether you are a startup or an existing enterprise, it is crucial to formally map out your vision and the manner in which you will pursue it....in writing. Your business plan is absolutely essential to establishing a successful business.


For example, your business plan is required in order to secure financing or grants to fund you enterprise.  Funding sources and lenders are looking for assurances, the five "C's", that your business will be profitable. In your business plan, they are looking for your:

 

 

 

 
   

   Capacity to repay is the most critical of the five factors, with cash being the preferred means.

  

   Capital, which is the money that you personally have invested in the business.

   Collateral or guarantee of security that you can provide the lender.

   Conditions describing the specific purpose of the loan and how it will be repaid.

   Character, which is the general impression you make on the prospective lender or investor.

 

On the opther hand, for those of you who are pursuing the procurement of government contracts, your

business plan describes how you will adhere to your contractual agreements.  State and federal agencies

want to know how you will deliver goods and/or services in a timely manner, and without glitches or problems.  For eligibility for these procurement opportunities, entities must have at least one of the MBE,WBE,WOSB or SBA 8(a) certifications.

For this purpose, your business plan is required to provide assurances that, as an owner of a small

business, you and your enterprise are competent to deliver what you promise and that you are going

to remain in business long enough to satisfy your contractual terms.

In your business plan, the entities that require certifications are looking for satisfactory descriptions

of the following principles by which you and your business will abide:

    Competency

    Capability

    Capacity

    Credit

    Integrity

    Perseverance

    Tenacity
