3.
Strictly Private and
Confidential ©<Company Name> <Year> Page 3 of 12 1. Executive Summary The first section in the body of the business plan is usually an executive summary. The summary is usually short and concise (one to three pages). The summary articulates what the market opportunity is and why it exists. It also details who will execute the opportunity and why they are capable of doing so. It includes information on how the firm will gain market entry and penetrate the market. The summary is usually prepared after the other sections of the business plan are completed. The executive summary is important for companies trying to raise or borrow money. Potential investors, bankers or other readers use the summary to determine quickly whether the venture the plan describes is of interest. Therefore, your summary should be appealing and compelling to make sure that it’s not the only section read by the potential investor and that you have the opportunity to make a presentation or discuss your business in person. A. Description of the Business Concept and the Business Describe the concept for the business you are in or will be in. This description should explain how your product or service will fundamentally change the way (potential) customers currently do certain things. You should detail when the company was incorporated (or will be incorporated), what it will do, what is special or proprietary about its product, service or technology. Summary information should also be included with regards to any proprietary technology, trade secrets or unique capabilities that give your company an edge in the market place. Try to make your description as brief as possible. B. Management Team Summarise the key management personnel and outline their primary duties and experience. Include a description of the board of directors. C. The Opportunity and Strategy Summarise what the opportunity is, why it is compelling and the entry strategy planned to exploit it. Detail your competitive advantages as a result of your innovative product/service/strategy. You could include information on key facts, market conditions, competitors vulnerabilities, industry trends and any other information that help define the market opportunity. Include plans for growth and expansion beyond initial products or services or entry into other market segments, if appropriate. D. The Target Market and Projections Detail and explain briefly the industry and the market, the primary customer groups and how the product/service will be positioned in the market. Also briefly explain how you plan to reach and service these customer groups. Information should be included on the market share, the size of the market, growth rate, the market share you anticipate to capture and your pricing strategy. E. Research and Development Summarise briefly any technical development/progress to date and any required development for the market introduction of your product/service. Include information on any technical milestones.
4.
Strictly Private and
Confidential ©<Company Name> <Year> Page 4 of 12 F. Financial Projections Summarise the financial projections of the business over the next three years. A table could be used to highlight the key numbers in the financial section of the business plan. The following format can be used: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Sales Exports Net Profit before Tax Investment Employment G. Funding Requirements and Exit Strategy Briefly discuss the amount of funding required and timing thereof. Also discuss what principal use will be made of the capital. If possible indicate how the target investor or lender will achieve their desired rate of return. Summarise the possible exits for the company, i.e. an exit maybe achieved through a trade sale, an initial public offering (IPO) or management buy-out. If there are examples of similar exits in your industry provide information on these.

Strictly Private and
Confidential ©<Company Name> <Year> Page 5 of 12 2. Management Team This section should include a description of key management personnel and their primary duties, an outline of the organisational structure for the company. A description of the board of directors and a description of the ownership position of any other investors should also be included. A. Key Management Personnel Present the key management roles in the company and the individuals who will fill each position. Detail the past experience of individuals, describing their career highlights and include, in particular, relevant skills and any track record of accomplishments that demonstrate his or her ability to perform the assigned role. If key management personnel will not be on board at the start of the company then indicate when you will be actively recruiting for these individuals and provide information on the skills required. If the company is established and is of sufficient size an organisational chart could be placed in this section. B. Shareholders and Board Members Detail the names of shareholders, number of shares, percentage shareholding and cash investment to date. Identify any (or proposed) board members and include information on the person’s background that demonstrates what he or she can bring to the company. C. Supporting Professional Advisors and Services Indicate the supporting services that will be required.

Industry and the Product(s)/Service(s) This section provides an understanding of the company’s product(s) and service(s) and its interface with the industry which it will be competing. This section will provide the context for the market analysis information in section 4. A. The Industry Detail the current status and prospects for the industry in which your business will operate in. Include a discussion on the industry structure (e.g. highly concentrated, fragmented etc.) Discuss briefly the market size, growth trends and competitors. A more detailed discussion will take place in the market analysis section. B.

Explain any opportunities for the expansion of the product/service or plans for the development of any related products or services. D.

Also discuss briefly your pricing, distribution etc. Summarise your growth intentions during the first three years. Detail your plans for growth beyond your initial product or service. Demonstrate how the entry and growth strategy for the company is derived from the market opportunity through your value-add product/service or through other competitive advantages.

Strictly Private and
Confidential ©<Company Name> <Year> Page 7 of 12 4. Market Research and Analysis Due to the dependence of other parts of the business plan on the market research and analysis it is advisable to prepare this part of the business plan before any other. This section must demonstrate that the company can capture a substantial market share in a growth industry, despite competitive pressures.

Critical Risks and Problems Within any business there exist risks and problems and therefore it is important that the business plan includes a description of the risks and consequences of adverse outcomes relating to your industry and your company. This will demonstrate to investors your awareness of these risks and provide an opportunity for you to describe the measures you will put in place to mitigate them. You should identify and discuss any major problems or risks such as running out of cash before orders, sales projections not being achieved etc. Discuss your plans for minimising the impact of these potential risks and problems. 10. Funding Requirements and Exit Strategy The purpose of this section of the plan is to indicate the amount of money that is required by the company and how this funding is to be provided. Include sources such as promoters’ funds, bank loans, grants (e.g. Enterprise Ireland grants), any investment already received and the amount of further investment sought. A brief overview of what this funding is required for should also be included (e.g. equipment, marketing, staff, R&D). Summarise the possible exits for the company, i.e. an exit maybe achieved through a trade sale, an initial public offering (IPO) or management buy-out. If there are examples of similar exits in your industry provide information on these. For example, if a trade sale is likely then you need to give examples of potential acquirers and provide information on similar acquisitions in your industry and values involved. 11.
