This sample business plan is the same one we give to franchisees at Chefs For Seniors.\nFirst, you need to start with an outline and fill it in with details.  The outline below offers a complete checklist for management of a personal chef business.\nBusiness Plan Outline\nExecutive Summary\nBusiness Description\nService Description\nMarketing and Sales Plan\nOperational Plan\nFinancial Plan\nExecutive Summary\nThe executive summary is perhaps the most important element of a business plan, especially if you’re looking to acquire financing.  It’s the first thing someone looking at your business plan is going to read, and the goal is to entice the reader to take the time to go over the rest of the plan in detail.  While the executive summary is the first part of your business plan, most people write it last.\nThe points you should cover in the executive summary are:\nThe current status of your business, such as when it was started or when it’s expected to begin operating\nBrief introduction of the owner(s) – overview of education and experience\nDescription of the service provided\nInformation on your target market\nMarketing strategy\nFinancial projections\nAmount of money, if any, you are seeking from investors\nCondensing all that information into a 1-2 page summary isn’t easy, but you can do it if you stay focused on the key information.  Remember, it’s suggested you write the executive summary last.\nBusiness Description\nThis section should define what your business does and its purpose. Your company mission, financial goals, information on company ownership, and legal structure are good things to include.\nService Description\nPersonal chef businesses are an innovative, revolutionary concept.  Therefore, in this section it’s important to clearly identify the nature of your business and the services you provide in this section.\nMarketing and Sales Plan\nIf you want to succeed in business, you have to get consumers to buy from you.  That’s where marketing comes in.  Primary objectives of this section are:\nDefining your target market in your area – who are the potential clients?\nDevelop a pricing structure that will provide value to your clients and ensure maximum profitability for your business.\nDetermine what combination of advertising, publicity, and personal selling to use to promote the business.\nWhen writing your marketing and sales plan, try being as specific as you can, basing your strategy on realistic assumptions.\nOperations Plan\nIn this section, you’ll describe how your service will actually be performed.\nFinancial Plan\nThis is the section of your plan that most lenders and investors (even friends and family who fund your business) consider the most important.  You’ll provide financial information such as projected revenue, breakeven point, and capital (if any) required.  If you need financing, you may need to create pro-forma statements that show revenue and expense projections over a 3-5 year period.\nSample Business Plan\nThis is a sample business plan you can use to guide you through the process of writing one for your personal chef business.  Your plan will likely be more detailed.  Don’t pay much attention to any specific numbers used; they will be different for each market and business owner’s goals/objectives.\nSample Business Plan\nXYZ Personal Chef Service, LLC\nExecutive Summary:\nXYZ Personal Chef Service is structured as a Limited Liability Company (LLC), and will offer a service preparing customized meals for older adults in their homes.
