The act of planning helps you to think things through thoroughly, study and research if you are not sure of the facts and look at your ideas critically. It takes time now, but avoids costly, perhaps disastrous, mistakes later.  \nThis business plan is a generic model suitable for all types of businesses. However, you should modify it to suit your particular circumstances.  \nIt typically takes several weeks to complete a good plan. Most of that time is spent in research and re-thinking your ideas and assumptions. But then, that’s the value of the process. So, make time to do the job properly. Those who do never regret the effort. And finally, be sure to keep detailed notes on your sources of information and on the assumptions underlying your findings.  \nPage 2 of 10  \nBusiness Plan  \nOWNERS  \nYour Business Name  \nStreet Address Address 2  \nCity, ST ZIP Code Telephone  \nFax  \nE-Mail  \nPage 3 of 10  \nI . Executive Summary  \nWe suggest that you make it two pages or fewer.  \nInclude everything that you would cover in a five-minute interview.  \nExplain the fundamentals of the proposed business:  \n• What will your product be?  \n• Who will your customers be?  \n• Who are the owners?  \n• What do you think the future holds for your business?  \nMake it enthusiastic, professional, complete, and concise.  \nIf applying for a loan, state clearly how much you want, precisely how you are going to use it, and how the money will make your business more profitable, thereby ensuring repayment.  \nPage 4 of 10  \nII . Prayer Strategy  \nThe most difficult part of starting a business is spiritual warfare. That’s why we need to have a prayer strategy in place for our business.  \n• Who will pray for your business?  \n• How will they pray?  \n• When will they pray?  \n• Do you prayer walk your business?  \nPray before your plan. Pray during your plan. Pray after your plan  \nPage 5 of 10  \nIII . General Company Description  \nWhat business will you be in? What will you do?  \nVision (what do you see for your business)  \nMission (how are you going to accomplish)  \nGoals and Objectives:  \nGoals are destinations—where you want your business to be.  \nObjectives are progress markers along the way to goal achievement. For example, a goal might be to have a healthy, successful company that is a leader in customer service and that has a loyal customer following. Objectives might be annual sales targets and some specific measures of customer satisfaction.  \nBusiness Philosophy: What is important to you in business? To whom will you market your products?  \nDescribe your most important business strengths and competencies.  \nWhat factors will make the business succeed?  \nWhat do you think your major strengths will be?  \nWhat background experience, skills, and strengths do you personally bring to this new venture?  \nPage 6 of 10  \nIV . Products and Services  \nDescribe in depth your products or services (technical specifications, drawings, photos, sales brochures) .  \nWhat factors will give you advantages or disadvantages in spite of the competition?

Marketing plan  \nDescribe your customers in depth (demographics, psychographics etc.) .  \nWhat value (problem you solve or need you meet) do you bring to your customers? What is the benefit of your product or service?  \nWhat is the market size? And what is the demand?  \nWho are your competitors?  \nWhat are your channels of advertising/marketing? What message are you going to share?  \nPage 8 of 10  \nVI .
