Guidelines for the Preparation of the BUSINESS PLAN
Business plan can help to avoid going into a business venture that is doomed to
fail. If the proposed venture is at best marginal, the business plan will show you
why. The process of preparing a business plan also provides the chance to test the
motivation, commitment and technical expertise of potential partners. This is done
by having your partner plan and document the business activities that will be his or
her responsibility. Most importantly, business plan provides the information needed
by others to evaluate your venture, especially if you will need to seek outside
financing. A thorough business plan automatically becomes a complete financing
proposal which will meet the requirements of most lenders and investors.
1. INTRODUCTION
According to the National Statistics Office, the consumption of seafood has been
growing at an average rate of 4.2% per year over the last 10 years. During the past
three years, however, growth rates have average 5.7 percent for a year.
• The increased price of meat and meat products make seafood an increasingly
attractive substitute.
• The renewed emphasis on diet and nutrition features increase consumption of
seafood.
• The declaration of the 200-kilometer limit will encourage the philippine fishing
fleet to increase their catches and provide a greater quantity of local fresh
seafood.
3. THE BUSINESS
You must describe exactly what you are going to sell. Indicate the
primary and use of your product or service as well as any important
secondary uses. Emphasize those factors which make your product or
service unique or superior so that which is already on the market.
Discuss any opportunities for the expansion of your product line or the
development of related products or services. If the product, process,
or service requires any design or development before it is ready to be
placed on the market, the nature and extent of the work (including
costs ) should be fully documented.
EXAMPLE
Who will be your customers ? you can classify customers into groups having
common characteristics such as age, sex or geographical location. What are their
buying motives - price, quality, service, convenience or perhaps necessity ?
Determine the size of the total market
How much should they be spending on your product or service ? how many
potential customers exist within your trading area ? can this market be expanded ?
why ?
• Blue Ring Fish Sales. This is a clean, two-man operation specializing in cheaper
fish. It sells directly to housewives from one truck and does some wholesale trade,
which the operators hope to expand. It would account for no more than 15% of the
market.
• Roger’s Seafoods. this firm has the largest proportion of the wholesale trade. It
operates 3 trucks. The principal, Roger Ballo, is planning to open a retail store. Since
he is getting on in years, he may be planning to give up part of the wholesale trade.
Roger’s seafoods would account for 40% of the current market.
HARVEY'S PRIDE accounts for approximately 45% of the market with last year’s
sales of P67,500. However, the most recent Retail Sales Survey shows that sales of
seafood in Manila Bay Area were below market potential and an opportunity exists to
increase not only the total market but also our share of it. Sales estimates are included
in the Financial Forecast.
6. MARKETING STRATEGY
HARVEY’S PRIDE has developed an image and reputation for quality, fresh
seafood at competitive prices. We will continue to convey this image to our two
market segments - retail and wholesale.
To the retail trade, we will specifically promote our convenient location, the
benefits in the diet, and the savings of seafood compared to meat. We will
complement our quality image with clean, attractive facilities and excellent service.
Promotion will be based primarily on newspaper advertising and display.
We will make the direct approaches to the wholesale trade. There are 17
restaurants and 11 food markets constituting most of the wholesale business. We
will emphasize consistency of supply, convenient location and delivery service,
quality and volume discounts.
7. MANAGEMENT
Outline the personal history of the principles and show how their work experience
relates to the venture. State their duties and responsibilities and indicate the
salaries they expect to draw from the business. Be sure to list your advisers such
as your solicitor, accountant, insurance broker and banker.
EXAMPLE
The principals in HARVEY’S PRIDE are Mr. Richard Amor and Mr. Edward Murillo.
Mr. Amor was born in Manila in 1944 and lived there all his life. He has been self-
employed since he left school and operated a fishing trawler out of Manila Bay for 12
years. He recently completed the Associate Diploma in Small Business at the Philippine
College of Advanced Education.
Mr. Murillo was born in Makati in 1939. He served for 10 years in the Philippine
Navy before joining the seafood division of a large food company. He has had direct
experience with hiring, training and directing operations in fish packaging and
marketing. Mr. Amor is well known at the Fisherman's Cooperative and throughout the
local community. He's particularly experienced in the wholesale side of the business.
Mr. Murillo is experienced in that retail trade and will be responsible for the control of
costs and inventory. Salaries for the principles will be P500/month in the first year,
P750/month in the second year and P1000/month thereafter. Profits will be distributed
equally between the principles after in re investment for expansion.
The firm has engaged the services of the following advisers:
The firm has also joined the Philippine Seafood Traders Association which provides
inter-firm comparison information to its members through the Manila University.
8. LABOR
You need to determine and document your manpower needs now and over the
coming years. Will they be permanent or casual, full or part time? What skills are
required and are the people you need available? What will be the costs?
HARVEY’S PRIDE (HPC) can purchase the property at No. 5 Jose Avenue under the terms of a
lease/purchase agreement for P22,000. An independent valuer has appraised the property, with
leasehold improvements, at P35,000.
The funds for renovations and improvements will be used to develop the 80 Sq. m. of floor space
which is currently unused. The principals wish to repay the bank loan to free the security over lease-
hold improvements held by the bank.
The working capital is necessary to meet increased expenses resulting from the continued growth
of the business and to take advantage of bulk rates on specialty items such as Philippine lobster tail.
The new funds will be sufficient to finance the transition through a planned expansion so that the
business can enjoy a greater share of an expanding market.
9. FINANCIAL FORECASTS
Financial forecasts should be shown monthly for the first year and quarterly
for the succeeding two years.
10.SUPPORTING EXHIBITS
BUSINESS
Strong foundation of PLAN Useful finance-raising
research and analysis tool
NEVER
• Submit a “rough copy”, perhaps with coffee stains on the pages and crossed out
words in the text, causing lenders a question whether the entrepreneurs take their
ideas seriously.
• Use outdated financial information or industry comparison, leaving doubts about
entrepreneurs’ planning ability.
• Use unsubstantiated assumptions by not explaining the “whys” of every point in the
plan.
• Fail to consider perspective pitfalls . Bankers can conclude that ideas are not realistic.
• Fail to understand the financial information. Even if outside sources are used to
prepare the projections, owners must fully comprehend information.
NEVER
1. Single-Purpose use
Remedy: Stress implementation
2. One-person commitment
Remedy: Involve all members of the management team in preparing
the plan.
3. Benign neglect
Remedy: Follow up the plan by scheduling regular meetings.
4. Unworkable document
Remedy: Give the plan life by developing one-page action summaries
for each department.
5. Unbalanced application
Remedy: Get balanced participation from key managers and employees
in all areas of the company.
6. Disillusionment
Remedy: Develop contingency plans- both positive and negative.
7. Too-action-oriented
Remedy: Encourage these managers to develop plans for their areas of
responsibility.
8. No performance standard
Remedy: Encourage managers to establish specific, measurable
objectives in their respective areas.

COST = Fixed Costs +
Variable Costs
Table 4 shows that the months from August to October are considered non-peak months. It is
assumed that the business grows by its monthly profit because of old and new consumers of the
products. According to the table shown above, August to October are non-peak months (5% loss from
previous month is computed) whereas June, November and December are peak months (for June,
10% increase of sales from previous month and 20% for the latter months).
Non – Peak MONTHS ( - 5 %)
Tables 2 & 3 showed the projected cost and revenue by month. Based on the
table the Total Revenue is greater than the combined fixed and variable cost.
It indicates that Anong Sarap Bakery has the great potential of generating
profit.

II. The initial source fund may be generated by special fund - raising
activities from the school. This can also be coursed through the YECS
for the students to invest.
III.Based on our projection the business will earn 2.5% on the first month
and 5% on the second month. Having this as a continuing trend, it is
expected that after a year, the 15% return on investment is highly
feasible.
VII. SOCIAL IMPACT
This part should enumerate the impact of the business activity to its
employees, consumer and the community as well. Social impact should
also emphasize social responsibility to sound environment and sanitation
practices.
2. Anong Sarap Bakery will conduct activities that would promote spirit of
entrepreneurship through active participation in community and school activities
since they are the number one clientele of the bakeshop.
