About 'finance startup'|4 startups reinventing finance from L.A., not NYC








While               a               business               plan               is               a               necessity               for               startup               businesses               that               must               raise               outside               capital,               it               also               can               be               useful               for               more               modest,               mom-and-pop               ventures.

If               you               are               an               entrepreneur               launching               an               ambitious               business               venture               that               will               require               large               amounts               of               startup               capital,               you               will               need               a               thorough,               well-thought-out               business               plan               for               two               reasons.
               First,               lenders               or               investors               will               demand               it.

They               will               want               to               have               enough               information               to               judge               the               odds               that               their               financial               support               for               your               business               is               likely               to               pay               off,               including               a               clear               description               of               your               product               or               service,               the               size               and               growth               prospects               of               the               market               you               plan               to               address,               your               competition,               your               detailed               financial               projections,               your               marketing               strategies               and               your               management               team.
               Second,               a               business               plan               can               be               an               invaluable               road               map               as               you               face               the               challenges               of               getting               your               startup               off               the               ground               and               it               can               help               you               set               goals               and               measure               progress               relative               to               expectations               as               your               business               grows.

At               the               same               time,               your               business               plan               should               be               a               living               document               that               you               review               and               update               periodically               as               your               business               expands               and               changes.
               If               your               startup               is               less               ambitious,               the               need               for               a               business               plan               may               not               be               as               obvious.

For               example,               let's               assume               that               you               have               retired               and               plan               to               start               a               one-person               business               marketing               your               homemade               ginger               cookies.

You've               been               selling               them               successfully               on               weekends               at               the               local               farmers'               market               and               want               to               expand               your               sales               to               include               local               supermarkets               and               specialty               stores.
               Given               the               relative               simplicity               of               your               venture,               you               may               feel               that               a               business               plan               would               add               little               value               relative               to               the               time               it               would               take.

After               all,               you               believe               that               your               product               will               sell               itself,               helped               along               by               positive               word-of-mouth,               and               you               expect               to               fund               your               business               yourself.
               While               all               of               those               things               may               be               true,               taking               the               time               to               think               about               your               business               in               a               more               formal               way               could               help               you               avoid               future               problems               and               improve               your               odds               of               success               by               forcing               you               to               answer               important               questions               about               your               business,               including:
               --               What               business               structure               should               your               choose?
               --               What               market               will               you               target               and               how               large               is               it?
               --               Who               are               your               competitors,               what               are               their               strategies,               and               what               is               your               competitive               edge               versus               them?
               --               What               furniture               and               equipment               will               you               need?
               --               Where               will               you               work?
               --               Will               you               need               to               hire               employees               and,               if               so,               will               you               use               outside               contractors,               part-time               help,               seasonal               workers,               or               full-time               employees?
               --               How               will               you               market               your               business?

Word-of-mouth               is               fine,               but               you               may               need               to               consider               other               options               as               well.
               --               How               much               startup               capital               and               working               capital               will               you               need               for               at               least               the               first               year               and               where               will               you               get               it?
               --               How               will               you               price               your               product               or               service?
               --               How               much               revenue               do               you               project               and               how               long               will               it               take               for               the               business               to               turn               a               profit?
               By               answering               these               questions               ahead               of               time,               you               will               be               able               to               start               your               business               with               a               clear-eyed               view               of               what               your               goals               are               and               how               you               plan               to               achieve               them.
               In               short,               not               matter               how               ambitious               or               modest               your               business               goals,               a               well               designed               business               plan               can               be               an               important               tool               that               will               you               will               improve               your               business's               chances               of               success.
