Tips for Making Business Plan
Filed under Business, Business ToolsJun 18People often ask “What makes a good business plan?” Or, “How do I make my plan attractive to lenders and investors?”.
The simple answer is that lenders and investors (I’ll call them “readers” from here on out) are looking for good deals. A good deal is one that offers the reader a reasonable rate of return for the risk assumed. The complete answer is that you should write a plan that a reader will want to read and then get it to reader(s) who are looking for your type of project and levels of risk and return. This article deals with the first part of the equation – how to write a business plan that readers will want to read.
Readers want plans that clearly, accurately and completely allow them to make an initial determination about the project. Here are the steps needed to write that plan:
To borrow from the real estate industry, the three most important things about a business plan are research, research and research. While other things are important (even critical), ultimately your plan will live or die on the quality and completeness of your information. For that matter, you’re about to risk your time and financial future on a project – how much information do you want to have? Step one:
1. Become expert in your project. Learn everything possible about:
a. The customers to whom you will sell (your market).
b. The competition.
c. The actual costs of operating your business (get quotes).
d. The actual results of similar projects.
e. Your industry.
f. The project’s physical location(s) and it’s impact (if any) on the project.
g. The people who will be key to the project.
If you’ve followed the above, you’ve now got a mound of research – sticky notes, web pages, reports, quotes, etc., etc. But, what does it all mean? Step two:2. Analyze. (Hopefully) when you first got the idea for your project there was a sense of excitement and a feeling that this is a sure winner. Now is the time to see if your feelings were well founded. With a critical eye, do a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis on your project. Determine what you are able to do to capitalize on the S and O and minimize the W and T.
Steps one and two may have changed somewhat your sure winner feelings – which is good. (If not, you either have hit upon the next sliced bread or you need to redo the preceding steps). Presuming that your research and analysis shows a worthwhile use of your time and money (and that of your readers) move to step three:
3. Forecast. This is where the rubber meets the road. Using your research and analysis you will now tell your readers that “this is what will happen to the money”. You’ll do it with accounting forecasts called pro forma statements. Provide either three or five years of statements with (generally) the first year done monthly, the second and third done quarterly and (if included) the last two years done annually. In all events, include:
a. Operating statements.
b. Cash flow forecasts.
c. Balance sheets.
Optionally include:
d. Various ratios (loan to value, debt service coverage, etc.)
In addition to the above, you should usually include a Source and Use of Funds showing where the source of the initial capital and on what it will be spent.By this point you’re either sure you have a winner (differing from a sure winner in that you recognize the obstacles but are prepared to work through them) or you are going back to the drawing board to rethink your project. If you have a winner, step four is:
4. Write the plan. Obviously, you need to be able to use good grammar and spelling. You should be clear, concise and complete. Fill your plan with compelling facts gleaned from your research. Do not avoid the W and T from your SWOT analysis, rather, describe in detail how you will deal with them. Avoid platitudes and your own opinions – everyone knows that you like the idea, readers need facts to determine if they like it. Try to keep your answers as short as possible while still giving complete information. With the exception of the Executive Summary, keep your answers somewhat dry and factual – short, sweet and to the point.
The Executive Summary, on the other hand, is where you sell the sizzle. It is here that you make the claim that yours is a dynamic project that deserves full consideration. You need to compel your reader to read your plan and tell them why you are excited about the project.
You’ve now done the lions share of the work leaving only step five:
5. Review and revise. The review should be first by the author(s) and then by trusted advisors – the more people that you can get to review your plan the more likely you are to find any problems before they are found by a reader.
Follow the preceding steps and you will have a business plan that will get read and, hopefully, funded.

Says an old adage is proving to be wise. “As in the issue of quality services does not escape the opportunity to talk about diversity in the service and how the difference leads us to connect with quality.
And when we talk about difference, we mean that within the services that we offer a wide range in the color palette as different as the expectations of our customers.
If we consider the business sectors we have in the Dominican Republic, for example, service institutions, telecommunications, tourism, health, food, among others, understand that in that sense, so different is the quality that we offer our customers and users.
Similarly, this leads us to understand that within each service center either health, education, food, tourism, etc, so it will be of varying quality.
To cite a practical example a patient who visits a clinic, hospital, laboratory or health insurance Company, has the same expectations and requirements that other customers who visit other institutions that provide the same kind of health service.
And if you feel the same way customers visiting banks, restaurants, supermarkets, we remain convinced that definitely diversity in the service is what connects and enriches the quality of competition, to achieve the ultimate goal ” exceed customer expectations. ”
What makes the main difference in this diversity, are nothing more than the attitudes of staff providing customer service, training, strategies, policies of the company for which they work, so as to resolve and respond in a quickly and efficiently to the needs of each client.
Supermarkets, restaurants, hotels and all general services institution offering similar products, however, only quality will connect to the extent that diversity in the service add alternatives as varied as the expectations of customers, from all social class, nationality, gender, age and personal preferences according to economic and political a country, in the case: Dominican Republic.
Definitely, common sense and professionalism ensure success in each service executive as a fundamental pillar in the diversity of businesses, organizations, associations, etc, for which it works, and so to pass the last major step of the ladder connecting service processes with quality or what is the same as saying “the total customer satisfaction.”
