I also have a business plan and an executive summary. I am ready to file for PPM and am in the midst of getting my Reg D 405 paperwork done.
So whats my next step?
How do i take this to the next level.
Patenting is not an issue as you cant exactly patent this,
and its really hard to steal unless you get inside my head.

Hello, do not want you to do the business plan of course !! but was wondering if anyone could help with a good summary hotel business plan who could contain all the headings which could guide me. Thanks a lot.
(could be in french or english)

When forming a business plan what should your Executive Summary include?
Same company, more than one business model, Should i write a plan for each or one all inclusive one?

ok, I am trying to write my business plan but i’m not sure which route to take. My company is registered as a business development services company. My company has several different business models and i’m not sure how to incorporate all that in one business plan because each would essentially be different. Should I write each separate?

I am trying to put together a business plan for a hotel that has not been built yet. I have tried calling the electric company to get an idea of how to estimate what the electric will be. I can’t get anyone on the phone. Is there a formula for predicting electric, water, cable, phone and other expenses for your business plan?

I have been curious about opening/starting my own hotel. I currently work for one and have always had this passion. I was wondering if there is anyone with experience in this…maybe a current hotel manager or owner that could answer a few questions? My main questions is where do I start? A business plan? Financing? Also looking for a good place to find some investors. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Please don’t flame me I am looking for actual answers. Thanks!

My partner and I have a solid business plan, initial designs but we’re stuck and don’t know where to go from here. Do we need to contact VC’s, investment bankers?

I have to do a business plan as an assignment and every part of this plan is giving me trouble, but the executive summary the most. So if someone could help me by telling what exactly I should put in it, the format of it and how long it should be that would be great. Thank you so much!

I am presently writing a business plan with cash flow, profit/loss, balance sheet forecasts. I am having probs with the balance sheet forecast.
Proposed project is to develop, manufacture and sell an item of technology. The forecasts are for first 6 years. Y1-2 is development and testing, y3-6 is tooling, manufacturing and sales. The problem is that for the first 3 years the funding section is larger than the assets-minus liabilities. So to balance these years I put a value on the Intelectual property (to justify investment in this). But now that sales have kicked in (y3-6) and we would be more cash-rich the assets-liabilities is higher than the financing. The only thing I could do would be to reduce the IP value or introdue a spurious liability like trade creditors. I know its probably impossible to comment on this without seeing it but maybe there are common error sthat non-accountants make!? Thanks. (Any qs please email)
(Response to 1st answer)…Thanks, thats very informative..yes, we have costed for as much as we can figure out including the cost of compliance with BSI etc (for CE mark) and for insurance. I think we are doing this in the ‘real world’. The plan is to redesign, then make 25 and hire these out for a year as a field test exercise…that will ‘perfect’ the design, create interest and also provide our first set of buyers who will upgrade to the manufactured items and return the hired versions. It will also provide marketing data to justify tooling and manufacturing. We have made two prototypes and demoed to a major company in the Uk.. Our sales forecast is modest as well, allowing fro problems…I just need help I want to get the plan realistic before I hand over to my accountant.
(Response to second answer)….Thanks…Yes as a Ltd co I calculated a reserve in Y4 when we break even : total profits minus total losses. But that doesn’t give enough financing….I have to give the IP a value because we (will) have invested in patents and development but with nothing to show for it until later…

I have a great Business Plan.But to start this Business i need a person who have a good communication with Government or any
MNC.
