Any changes in operations, reorganizations or efficiencies should be described and projected benefits explained. A general overview of the production process of the company helps an outsider understand how the product or service is produced. Any licensing, laws or regulations should be mentioned and explained. The facilities, including headquarters, offsite locations, branch offices and manufacturing plants should be described in general terms. The structure of current and projected ownership should be explained, including a summary of major stockholders, percentage ownership, and functions, if any, of these owners within the company.
Every company has risks and weaknesses.
It's better that these topics are covered and addressed in the business plan than to leave it blank and have the potential investor bring them up. Just acknowledging their existence can offset some of the weaknesses. If the plan is being prepared for presentation to potential investors, a summary of the amount and uses of the capital desired is necessary. The structure of the investment and rate of return under different scenarios and structures can be presented. While it is important to have a structure offered, flexibility is important.
