I don’t believe I have any competition that is close to my location (even if so I don’t care) I am going to share a business plan with some of you new guys that are looking to launch this spring.
Some nervousness and uncertainty stems from not really have a complete understanding of what you want your business to be. Although a business plan in this format is usually used to gain loans or investors, it can be benificial for you as the owner to have a complete understanding of what your business is, where you want it to go , and how your going to get their.
This plan was made between season 1 & 2, Season 2 actual was better then projected, and my direction has changed some what slightly. Reading some of your guys’s threads reminded me I need to re visit my business plan and change it a little bit. The only good business professor I’ve had in College was my small business class, he was a commercial lender for 30 years and helped me create this.
Formatting is a little choppy, had to convert it from Word to google docs in order to embed a clickable link, some graphs and images arent showing but you get the picture
@CarryWeaver I sometimes think it is better to eat apple pie with melted Colby jack cheese than with ice cream. However, one must take into account the tide change before entering the sound to dig for oysters. There are situations where cleaning your finger nails with an Uncle Henry should be discouraged: riding on a donkey, fighting a rabid monkey or other such endeavors
Great info, its been a while since you posted this how much has your direction changed since your initial business plan? Have you been able to stay strictly in commercial or have you gotten into residential as well? Have you been able to expand into fleet washing and expand your area to I beleive you said Chicago area successfully or have you pushed out those timelines? Looking forward to hearing back
