    List of Appendices

    Tips:1. No major section within the body of your plan should exceed 6-8 pages. Use

    appendices to present detailed or additional information which is summarized orreferenced in the body of the plan. This reduces the length of the plan. It alsoenhances readability and ensures that the reader does not get sucked intoexcessive detail.. Suggestions for possible appendices follow. Do not removethese until you have finished drafting the plan.

    2. If the appendices are very lengthy, consider binding them into a separate volume.This should make the plan appear less intimidating and creates the opportunity tocirculate the plan with or without appendices.

    3. If presenting the appendices as a separate volume, be sure to include a cover page(complementing that of the main plan) and a detailed contents list (number allpages in the appendices).

    1. Review of Development of Business (20XX to 20XX)Consider using a chronological list. Focus on highlights and important events.

    2. Summarized Historic Financial Statements (20XX to 20XX)Tabulate high-level values (revenues, cost of sales, pre-tax profits, fixed assets,current assets, current liabilities etc.). Summarize highlights and explain anyexceptional events. Offer audited accounts as attachments or separate items.

    3. Detailed Description (Technical Specifications) of Product/Service (Range)Assume reader has no prior technical knowledge. Minimize use of technicalterms/jargon and avoid blinding with science. Offer technical write-ups as a separatedocument. If absolutely necessary, include a glossary.

    4. Market Review and Results of Market ResearchIf you cannot compile this appendix, you should seriously reconsider whether you areready to write a business plan. Include tables explaining size of market, segmentation,competition, market shares, growth patterns, distribution channels, price/qualitysegments, customer categories, future trends, market share/segmentation projectionsetc. Summarize your main findings in the markets section within the body of yourplan.

    5. Assessments of CompetitorsWho, what, where, how etc. Explain how your products and services compare. Howwould you rate your business's strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunitiesrelative to your main competitors. Summarize your main findings in the marketssection within the body of your plan.

    v

    7/46

    Business Plan - Strictly Confidential

    6. Market Projections & Sales Forecasts (20XX to 20XX)Use tables and charts. Clearly state all key assumptions on market size and shares,volumes and prices. Confine your assessments to directly available, served markets

    (rather than total markets). If you plan to serve several markets, devote separatesections within this appendix to each market and then produce a summary of theoverall projections.

    Build your sales projections from the ground up by setting out (a) clear marketingand sales strategies (b) explicit sales plans and budgets and (c) realistic assessmentsof numbers of enquires, outlets, customers, contracts etc. and conversion rates or leadtimes to arrive at sales volume and value forecasts. These should be compiled on amonthly basis for the first year and quarterly thereafter. Do not base the projectionson superficial market share assessments e.g. we will achieve sales of $500,000 basedon securing a 2% of the regional market which is projected by researchers at $25million.

    Be sure to explain the marketing strategies and plans in fair detail specify resourcesrequired, costs etc. Identify any prospective partners and describe sales methods. Insimple terms, you need to cover the 4Ps product, price, place and promotion.Compile a 3-5 year annual marketing budget and break it down by month for firstyear and quarterly thereafter.

    Summarize your plans and projections in the body of the plan. You should also feedthe resultant detailed revenue and marketing cost projections into your financialprojections.

    7. Details of Manufacturing/Operational Plans & Costs

    Describe processes/operations in limited detail. Diagrams or flow charts may helpexplain complex issues. Indicate capital investment (and timing), describe/justify(briefly) the functions of major items and review any capacity-related issues. Discusssources of materials/supplies and their costs. Specify projected manning levels/rates,direct/indirect operating costs and productivity levels. Discuss inventories andproduction cycles as well as related planning and control systems. Even if you are aservice business, use this appendix to describe operational issues connected with theprovision of these services, support etc.

    8. CVs of Senior ManagersIf your business is substantial, you must present CVs for a balanced and experiencedmanagement team. If gaps exist, supply job descriptions and explain how they will be

    filled. Remember the five factors which venture capitalists look for when making aninvestment management, management, management, market and, finally,product !!! Bear in mind that many businesses try to follow this sequence in reverseorder !!!

    9. Assumptions for Financial Projections (20XX to 20XX)The assumptions should be consistent with and derived from the earliersections/appendices in the plan. Use text bullets to highlight key assumptions and

    vi

  • 8/4/2019 Free Plan Template

    8/46

    Business Plan - Strictly Confidential

    place the details in tables within this appendix.

    If you need guidance, download a trial copy ofExl-Plan and have a look at its

    Textual Summary Report and monthly assumption reports.

    10. Financial Projections (20XX to 20XX)Use tables showing projections for first year (or longer) in considerable detail. Youshould include fully-integrated P&Ls (income statements), cash flow projections andbalance sheets by month for the first year. Present less detailed quarterly & annualprojections for subsequent years. The opening balance sheet and first year'sprojections should coincide with the first year covered by your plan.

    Check out the contents and layouts of the monthly, quarterly and annual reportsgenerated by Exl-Plan. You could paste or link key tables and charts from Exl-Plan

    directly into Free-Plan. For help with this, see Using Exl-Plan with Free-Plan in theFree-Plan Guide.

    A lower tech solution would be to append photocopies of Exl-Plans reports to theback of your business plan. When photocopying, you will be able to change marginsand enlarge pages or change their orientation to suit your plan's layout and bindings.

    Conclusion

    dskin is a patent pending, unique product. There is nothing like this in theworld at present.

    The financials, e.g. cashflow, P&L etc which have been done very prudentlyand inflationary measures have been built into the model.

    There is positive cashflow and profits from year 1. We will be continuallylooking at employing economies of scale and better production techniquesand logistics control in ensuring we bring the costs down even further.

    This will mean even bigger profits !
