Your business plan is a professional document you use to apply for a loan, so make sure it looks professional. Your company name and contact details should be on the cover page. It should be on the cover if you have a logo. The business plan for a loan application should have a table of contents and page numbers so lenders and you may quickly locate particular portions. Make sure your table of contents is clickable and directs readers to the appropriate sections if you distribute your strategy digitally rather than physically.  Executive summaries are frequently included at the start of business documents so busy readers can quickly access the main points of a longer document. Important information shouldn’t require the reader to slog through a lengthy page. On one page, briefly summarize the complete company plan. Describe your business, your product, and your motivation for starting it. Include your main rivals and the reasons your product will prevail over them. If appropriate, talk about the economy as it relates to your customers and products.  A mission statement, guiding principles, a list of any strategic partners, and your business structure should all be included in the company description. It will be brief. You should give a competitive analysis of your market after describing to the lender what your company does and who does it. To be clear, the market analysis does not constitute a complete marketing strategy. That will follow. Instead of a specific strategy for how you’ll take advantage of the market, the market analysis concentrates on its characteristics. Determine the current holes that your company will fill. The management structure of your company should be listed in the organization and management section. An organizational chart, a description of the system, and pay projections are standard features in business plans. Each management job should be described, along with the incumbent, their duties, and their qualifications. List your Board of Directors and any experience they may have that is important to your company’s success on a separate page if you have one.  The expected longevity of your product or service, as well as any research and development that has been done, is ongoing, or is slated, should be included in the service or product section. Naturally, depending on your business type, this portion will differ substantially. A description of any trademarks, patents, or other intellectual property rights that might be relevant should also be included. Describe your strategy if you expect people to learn about your goods or services through educational channels like trade shows. Describe your plans to advertise or create a public relations campaign. Outline your growth strategy if you have one. Discuss in this section whether you plan to expand into new geographical areas or target different types of potential clients.  For lenders, the financial analysis portion is crucial. The economic analysis must include financial estimates for the next three to five years. Naturally, it becomes more challenging to predict accurately the further into the future the forecasts are made. A three-year prognosis in the business plan, with a five-year forecast available, if the investors require one, is one approach.  Your financing request is now due. The reasons behind your desire for business finance, the quantity you’re requesting (both present and prospective for the next five years), and the purposes for which you’ll be using the funds must all be spelled out.
