Executive Summary
Write this last so that you can summarize the most important points from your business plan.

Provide a concise but positive description of your company, including objectives and
accomplishments. For example, if your company is established, consider describing what it set out
to do, how it has accomplished goals to date, and what lies ahead. If new, summarize what you
intend to do, how and when you intend to do it, and how you think you can overcome major
obstacles (such as competition).

You can also choose to use the following four subheadings to organize and help present the
information for your executive summary.

Note: to delete any tip, such as this one, just click the tip text and then press the spacebar.

Highlights
Summarize key business highlights. For example, you might include a chart showing sales, expenses
and net profit for several years.

Note: to replace the sample chart data with your own, right-click the chart and then click Edit Data.

Objectives
For example, include a timeline of the goals you hope you to achieve.

Mission Statement
If you have a mission statement, include it here. Also include any essential points about your
business that are not covered elsewhere in the executive summary.

Business Plan of Bufon Web Solutions - March 2023 4


Keys to Success
Describe unique or distinguishing factors that will help your business plan succeed.

Description of Business
Give a positive, concise, and fact-based description of your business: what it does, and what is going
to make it unique, competitive and successful. Describe special features that will make your
business attractive to potential customers and identify your company’s primary goals and
objectives.

Company Ownership/Legal Entity


Indicate whether your business is a sole proprietorship, corporation (type), or partnership. If
appropriate, define the business type (such as manufacturing, merchandizing, or service).

If licenses or permits are required, describe the requirements for acquiring them and where you are
in the process.

If you have not already stated whether this is a new independent business, a takeover, a franchise
or an expansion of a former business, include that here.

Location
Remember that location is of paramount importance to some types of businesses, less so for others .

 If your business doesn’t require specific location considerations, that could be an advantage
and you should definitely note it here.

 If you have already chosen your location, describe the highlights—you can use some of the
factors outlined in the next bullet as a guide or other factors that are essential considerations
for your business.

 If you don’t yet have a location, describe the key criteria for determining a suitable location for
your business.

Consider the following examples (note that this is not an exhaustive list and you might have other
considerations as well):

What kind of space are you seeking and where? Is there a particular area that would be especially
desirable from a marketing viewpoint? Must you have a ground-floor location? If so, must your
location be easily accessible to public transportation?

If you are considering a specific site or comparing sites, the following may be important: How is the
access/traffic flow? Are the parking facilities adequate? Is the street lighting sufficient? Is it close to
other businesses or venues that might aid in drawing the type of customers you seek? If it is a
storefront, does it attract attention or what must be done to make it attract the type of attention you
need?

If signage is appropriate for your business: Are there local ordinances concerning signs that might
adversely affect you? What type of signage would best serve your needs? Have you included the
cost of signage in your start-up figures?

Business Plan of Bufon Web Solutions - March 2023 5


Interior
For some businesses, the interior of the business site is as important as the location. If that is the
case for your business, describe what makes yours work well.

How have you calculated the square footage you need? Have you done advance planning to ensure
that you will get the most of your space, such as what will go where?

Are there any special requirements/modifications to the space that you will have to construct or
install? Do you need landlord or other permission to do so?

If applicable, how will you display products? Does the layout have flow/features that contribute to
the ambience and/or potentially help to increase sales?

Describe any special features of your business interior that you feel give you a competitive edge
over similar businesses.

Hours of Operation
Self-explanatory, but important for such businesses as retail stores or seasonal ventures.

Products and Services


Describe your products or services and why there is a demand for them. What is the potential
market? How do they benefit customers? What about your products or services gives you a
competitive edge?

If you are selling several lines of products or services, describe what’s included. Why did you
choose this balance of offerings? How do you adjust this balance to respond to market demands?

For product-based businesses, do you have or need inventory controls? Do you have to consider
“lead time” when reordering any items? Do you need an audit or security system to protect
inventory?

Note:

 If your products and/or services are more important than your location, move this topic before
location and hours of business.

 If you are providing only products or only services, delete the part of this heading that is
inappropriate.

Suppliers
If information about your suppliers—including your financial arrangements with them—plays an
important part of your business, include the relevant information in this section.

Service
Whether your business products or services, use this section to address the level and means of
service that you provide to customers, before, during, and after the sale.

Business Plan of Bufon Web Solutions - March 2023 6


How do you make your service(s) stand out against the competition?

Manufacturing
Does your business manufacture any products? If so, describe your facilities and any special
machinery or equipment.

Without revealing any proprietary information, describe the manufacturing procedure.

If not already covered in the Products and Services section, describe how will you sell the products
you manufacture—Directly to the public? Through a wholesaler or distributor? Other?

How will you transport your products to market?

Management
How will your background or experience help you to make this business a success? How active will
you be and what areas of management will you delegate to others?

Describe any other people who will be/are managing your business, including the following:

 What are their qualifications and background? (Resumes can be included in an Appendix.)

 What are their strengths or areas of expertise that support the success of your business?

 What are their responsibilities and are those clearly defined (particularly important in
partnership agreements)?

 What skills does your management team lack that must be supplied by outside sources or by
additional hiring?

If your business has employees, describe the chain of command. What training and support (such as
a handbook of company policies) will you provide to employees? Will you provide any incentives to
employees that will enhance the growth of your company?

If your business is a franchise, what type of assistance can you expect, and for how long? Include
information about operating procedures and related guidance that has been provided to you by the
franchiser.

Financial Management
As you write this section, consider that the way company finances are managed can be the
difference between success and failure.

Based on the particular products or services you intend to offer, explain how you expect to make
your business profitable and within what period of time. Will your business provide you with a good
cash flow or will you have to be concerned with sizeable Accounts Receivable and possible bad
debts or collections?

The full details of your start-up and operating costs should be included in the Appendix. However,
you can reference appropriate tables, charts, or page numbers as you give a brief, summary
accounting of your start-up needs and operating budget.

 Start-up needs should include any one-time only purchases, such as major equipment or
supplies, down-payments, or deposits, as well as legal and professional fees, licenses/permits,
insurance, renovation/design/decoration of your location, personnel costs prior to opening;
advertising or promotion

Business Plan of Bufon Web Solutions - March 2023 7


 Once you are ready to open your business, you will need an operating budget to help prioritize
expenses. It should include the money you need to survive the first three to six months of
operation and indicate how you intend to control the finances of your company. Include the
following expenses: rent, utilities, insurance, payroll (including taxes), loan payments, office
supplies, travel and entertainment, legal and accounting, advertising and promotion, repairs
and maintenance, depreciation, and any other categories specific to your business.

You can also include information (or cross-reference other sections of this business plan if covered
elsewhere) about the type of accounting and inventory control system you are using, intend to use,
or, where applicable, what the franchiser expects you to use.

Start-Up/Acquisition Summary
Summarize key details concerning the starting or acquisition of your business. (If this is not
applicable to your business, delete.

As noted in the preceding section, include your table of start-up or acquisition costs in the Appendix.

Marketing
How well you market your business can play an important role in its success or failure. It is vital to
know as much about your potential customers as possible—who they are, what they want (and don’t
want), and expectations they may have.

Market Analysis
What is your target market? (Who is most likely to buy your products or use your services?) What
are the demographics? What is the size of your potential customer base?

Where are they? How are you going to let them know who and where you are and what you have to
offer?

If you believe that you have something new, innovative or that isn’t generally available: How do you
know that there is a market for it—that people are willing to pay for what you have to offer?

Consider the market you are trying to reach: Is it growing, shrinking or static?

What percentage of the market do you think you will be able to reach? How will you be able to grow
your market share?

Note: You might include a chart, such as the one that follows, to demonstrate key points about your
market potential at-a-glance.

offering a difference in quality, price, or range of products?

Is this market segmentation governed by geographic area, product lines, pricing, or other criteria?

Into which market segment will your primary business fall? What percentage of the total market is
this segment? What percentage of this segment will your business reach?

Will you advertise on a regular basis or will you be conducting seasonal campaigns?

How will your products be packaged? Have you done research to see what type of packaging will
best appeal to your customers? Have you done a cost analysis of different forms of packaging?

Strategy and Implementation


Now that you have described the important elements of your business, you may want to summarize
your strategy for their implementation. If your business is new, prioritize the steps you must take to
open your doors for business. Describe your objectives and how you intend to reach them and in
what time parameters.

Planning is one of the most overlooked but most vital parts of your business plan to ensure that you
are in control (as much as possible) of events and the direction in which your business moves. What
planning methods will you utilize?

Determining Start-Up Capital
 Begin by filling in the figures for the various types of expenses in the cash flow table on the following page.

 Start your first month in the table that follows with starting cash of $0, and consolidate your “cash out” expenses from your cash flow table under
the three main headings of rent, payroll and other (including the amount of unpaid start-up costs in “other” in month 1).

 Continue the monthly projections in the table that follows until the ending balances are consistently positive.

 Find the largest negative balance—this is the amount needed for start-up capital in order for the business to survive until the break-even point
when all expenses will be covered by income.

 Continue by inserting the amount of needed start-up capital into the cash flow table as the starting cash for Month 1.

Income Projection Statement
The Income Projection Statement is another management tool to preview the amount of income generated each month based on reasonable
predictions of the monthly level of sales and costs/expenses. As the monthly projections are developed and entered, these figures serve as goals to
control operating expenses. As actual results occur, a comparison with the predicted amounts should produce warning bells if costs are getting out of
line so that steps can be taken to correct problems.

The Industrial Percentage (Ind. %) is calculated by multiplying costs/expenses by 100% and dividing the result by total net sales. It indicates the total
sales that are standard for a particular industry. You may be able to get this information from trade associations, accountants, banks, or reference
libraries. Industry figures are a useful benchmark against which to compare the costs/expenses of your own business. Compare your annual
percentage with the figure indicated in the industry percentage column.

The following is an explanation for some of the terms used in the table that follows:

 Total Net Sales (Revenue): This figure is your total estimated sales per month. Be as realistic as possible, taking into consideration seasonal
trends, returns, allowances, and markdowns.

 Cost of Sales: To be realistic, this figure must include all the costs involved in making a sale. For example, where inventory is concerned, include
the cost of transportation and shipping. Any direct labor cost should also be included.

 Gross Profit: Subtract the cost of sales from the total net sales.

 Gross Profit Margin: This is calculated by dividing gross profits by total net sales.

 Controllable Expenses: Salaries (base plus overtime), payroll expenses (including paid vacations, sick leave, health insurance, unemployment
insurance and social security taxes), cost of outside services (including subcontracts, overflow work and special or one-time services), supplies
(including all items and services purchased for use in the business), utilities (water, heat, light, trash collection, etc.), repair and maintenance
(including both regular and periodic expenses, such as painting), advertising, travel and auto (including business use of personal car, parking, and
business trips), accounting and legal (the cost of outside professional services).

 Fixed Expenses: Rent (only for real estate used in business), depreciation (the amortization of capital assets), insurance (fire, liability on property
or products, workers’ compensation, theft, etc.), loan repayments (include the interest and principal payments on outstanding loans to the
business), miscellaneous (unspecified, small expenditures not included under other accounts or headings).

 Net Profit/Loss (Before Taxes): Subtract total expenses from gross profit.

 Taxes: Inventory, sales, excise, real estate, federal, state, etc.

 Net Profit/Loss (After Taxes): Subtract taxes from net profit before taxes.

 Annual Total: Add all monthly figures across the table for each sales and expense item.

 Annual Percentage: Multiply the annual total by 100% and divide the result by the total net sales figure. Compare to industry percentage in first
column.

Profit and Loss Statement
This table essentially contains the same basic information as the income projection statement.
Established businesses use this form of statement to give comparisons from one period to another.
Many lenders may require profit and loss statements for the past three years of operations.

Instead of comparing actual income and expenses to an industrial average, this form of the profit
and loss statement compares each income and expense item to the amount that was budgeted for
it. Most computerized bookkeeping systems can generate a profit and loss statement for the
period(s) required, with or without budget comparison.

Balance Sheet
Following are guidelines for what to include in the balance sheet: (For use in established businesses)

 Assets: Anything of value that is owned or is legally due to a business. Total assets include all
net values; the amounts that result from subtracting depreciation and amortization from the
original cost when the asset was first acquired.

Current Assets:

 Cash—Money in the bank or resources that can be converted into cash within 12 months of the
date of the balance sheet.

 Petty Cash—A fund of cash for small, miscellaneous expenditures.

 Accounts Receivable—Amounts due from clients for merchandise or services.

 Inventory—Raw materials on hand, work-in-progress, and all finished goods (either


manufactured or purchased for resale).

 Short-term Investments—Interest or dividend-yielding holdings expected to be converted to


cash within a year; stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit and time-deposit savings accounts.
These should be shown at either their cost or current market value, whichever is less. Short-
term investments may also be called “temporary investments” or “marketable securities.”

 Prepaid Expense—Goods, benefits or services that a business pays or rents in advance, such as
office supplies, insurance or workspace.

 Long-term Investments—Holdings that a business intends to retain for at least a year. Also
known as long-term assets, these are usually interest or dividend paying stocks, bonds or
savings accounts.

 Fixed Assets—This term includes all resources that a business owns or acquires for use in its
operations that are not intended for resale. They may be leased rather than owned and,
depending upon the leasing arrangements, may have to be included both as an asset for the
value and as a liability. Fixed assets include land (the original purchase price should be listed,
without allowance for market value), buildings, improvements, equipment, furniture, vehicles.

Liabilities:

 Current Liabilities: Include all debts, monetary obligations, and claims payable within 12
months.

 Accounts Payable—Amounts due to suppliers for goods and services purchased for the business.

 Notes Payable—The balance of the principal due on short-term debt, funds borrowed for the
business. Also includes the current amount due on notes whose terms exceed 12 months.

 Interest Payable—Accrued amounts due on both short and long-term borrowed capital and
credit extended to the business.

 Taxes Payable—Amounts incurred during the accounting period covered by the balance sheet.

 Payroll Accrual—Salaries and wages owed during the period covered by the balance sheet.

 Long-term Liabilities—Notes, contract payments, or mortgage payments due over a period


exceeding 12 months. These should be listed by outstanding balance less the current position
due.

 Net Worth—Also called owner’s equity. This is the amount of the claim of the owner(s) on the
assets of the business. In a proprietorship or partnership, this equity is each owner’s original
investment plus any earnings after withdrawals.

Most computerized bookkeeping systems can generate a balance sheet for the period(s) required.

Note: Total assets will always equal total liabilities plus total net worth. That is, the bottom-line
figures for total assets and total liabilities will always be the same.

Sales Forecast
This information can be shown in chart or table form, either by months, quarters or years, to
illustrate the anticipated growth of sales and the accompanying cost of sales.

Milestones
This is a list of objectives that your business may be striving to reach, by start and completion dates,
and by budget. It can also be presented in a table or chart.

Break-Even Analysis
Use this section to evaluate your business profitability. You can measure how close you are to
achieving that break-even point when your expenses are covered by the amount of your sales and
are on the brink of profitability.

A break-even analysis can tell you what sales volume you are going to need in order to generate a
profit. It can also be used as a guide in setting prices.

Business Plan of Bufon Web Solutions - March 2023 18


There are three basic ways to increase the profits of your business: generate more sales, raise
prices, and/or lower costs. All can impact your business: if you raise prices, you may no longer be
competitive; if you generate more sales, you may need added personnel to service those sales
which would increase your costs. Lowering the fixed costs your business must pay each month will
have a greater impact on the profit margin than changing variable costs.

 Fixed costs: Rent, insurance, salaries, etc.

 Variable costs: The cost at which you buy products, supplies, etc.

 Contribution Margin: This is the selling price minus the variable costs. It measures the dollars
available to pay the fixed costs and make a profit.

 Contribution Margin Ratio: This is the amount of total sales minus the variable costs, divided by
the total sales. It measures the percentage of each sales dollar to pay fixed costs and make a
profit.

 Break-even Point: This is the amount when the total sales equals the total expenses. It
represents the minimum sales dollar you need to reach before you make a profit.

 Break-even Point in Units: For applicable businesses, this is the total of fixes costs divided by
the unit selling price minus the variable costs per unit. It tells you how many units you need to
sell before you make a profit.

 Break-even Point in Dollars: This is the total amount of fixed costs divided by the contribution
margin ratio. It is a method of calculating the minimum sales dollar to reach before you make a
profit.

 Note: If the sales dollars are below the break-even point, your business is losing money.

Miscellaneous Documents
In order to back up the statements you may have made in your business plan, you may need to
include any or all of the following documents in your appendix:

 Personal resumes

 Personal financial statements

 Credit reports, business and personal

 Copies of leases

 Letter of reference

 Contracts

 Legal documents

 Personal and business tax returns

 Miscellaneous relevant documents.

 Photographs
