Excerpt
Business plan
As with all new businesses, the best way to begin is with a
business plan, which channels your thoughts and presents a
structured plan of action. It also provides the financial
requirements, production plan, market research, sales plan and
other important guidelines which you will need.
The business plan includes a Market Research section which
forces you to do the very necessary market research in the area
you wish to cover, the best place for your business, the right
products and identifying the competitors in your area. This
research is vital to the success of your business.
Too many of us start a small business without any pre-thought as to:
• Who the target market is.
• What the best products are for that target market.
• What the current demand is.
• Whether the demand is seasonal or not.
• Who the best/cheapest suppliers are of the raw materials needed & where they are.
• What their lead time is.
• We could go on & on with this list but I’m sure you get the picture.
Do we start off by making a few samples, showing them to friends
& family for their opinions? And then do we make crucial business decisions based only on these comments?
