TOOLS FOR WRITING A BUSINESS PLAN AND/OR CREATING AN OPERATING STORE EMPLOYEE MANUAL.
To help you in writing a business plan and creating an operating store employee manual, we are offering for sale a disk and hard copy of each that can be customized to fit your particular operation. Once you receive the package you desire, simply insert the disk into your computer and make the necessary changes to fit your needs.
THE BUSINESS PLAN
Researching and writing a business plan is essential to go into business. Simply put, a business plan is essential to success. Without a well thought-out plan, you will be doomed to failure.
Everyone writes a business plan, but frankly for the wrong reasons. In most cases, the reason is to borrow money from a bank. How naive we are! Banks don't lend money to new businesses, and even if they were slightly willing to do so, the requirements are such that you will have to mortgage your life to get the loan. What your business plan should really be about is pouring out your heart and soul about why you want to open this business.
In reality, most of the money will come from your pocket, from your family and/or friends, or from a business partner, not from a bank. So the business plan is defining the following:
- What you want to accomplish.
- How you are going to get there.
- What it will cost
What Will This Business Plan Diskette Accomplish For You?
The diskette will act as your guide in laying out what is important that must be included in your business plan. The diskette will help you immensely in the actual writing of your business plan. The diskette will help you, but remember in the final analysis the business plan must be your thoughts, your words, and your findings. The diskette will include the following:
- A sample resume that will demonstrate business sense: Let's be frank. If you are going to write a resume for your business plan, it better be one that shows you have the skills and experience to interest others like a bank or outside investors in investing in your idea.
- A detailed personal financial statement for your use: It should be up-to-date and accurate. Remember that once you give someone your social security number, any credit check that is done on you will show everything. So be truthful and concise.
- An honest and convincing sample description that you can adapt for your proposed business or idea: Some of you will say, Why bother to write it down? I know how to operate. And besides, I am in no hurry to prepare my loan application to the bank or SBA. Let me tell you from hard, personal experience that you need a foundation document to refer to. If you don't have one, you are too likely to forget your good plans in the heat of getting your business underway.
- A sample profit and loss projection and cash flow estimate for your new business in a form understandable to banks: To a bank, besides the initial written introduction of your business plan, this is the most important element they will consider.
The cost of both the Business Plan diskette and hard copy (18 pages) is $195.00.
OPERATING STORE EMPLOYEE MANUAL
In general, most ice cream store owners deem training and having an operating store employee manual important. Yet few are satisfied with their training, and in most cases fail to create a written document outlining the operating procedures of their business. Most say they don't have the time to train their employees adequately, and if they did, they have no idea where to start.
Just because you learned quickly what to do in your store, don't necessarily think you can translate what you have learned to others without setting down the foundations of what the training program is expected to accomplish.
What Will This Operating Store Employee Manual Diskette Accomplish For You?
