Feedback from professor:
Hi,
The numbers, when provided, seemed consistent.
At times, the writing could have benefited from proof reading,
e.g. missing articles, spelling errors, syntax errors.
What happened to your assets and fixed assets in your section?
In your projected cash flow you have placed parentheses around
your profit after interest and tax line. The numbers offered are
also identical? Does that mean you are projecting a loss of
approximately 10K per month throughout 2020?
You would have to sell a lot of scooters (1500) to break even.
Using your pro formas, when do you expect to reach the BE
point?
I am not sure of how the expenses listed within the critical
success factors delineate actual critical to success factors?

Executive Summary
–
This is the last section of your plan to write (or re-write) and finalize.
– Executive summaries can be
longer in business plans than is
normally the case with other
documents. A general rule of
thumb is that this section can
be up to three pages in length.
Adhere to the ratchet effect
when you write your executive
summary by only including
relevant information that helps
establish your credibility.
– Write your executive summary
after you have written everything else for your plan.
In this section

Pay special attention to the framing in your
relevant to targeted
executive summary by fully understanding
readers as this is the place
for whom you are writing it and then

appealing to their need for information.

1. Introduction
Write a brief introduction. It is in this section that you might describe the purpose (or purposes) for
your plan.
It is particularly useful to use the entire introduction section to tell the story of your business
concept.
1.1. Value Proposition
–
Describe what your value proposition is. The value proposition outlines the benefits your
venture promises to deliver. Note that you must be cognizant of from whose perspectives you
are outlining the value proposition. A value proposition normally indicates why your business
provides something that customers will be willing to pay enough for to ensure that the venture
can sustain itself financially.
–
In some cases, business plan writers include a
secondary value proposition that explains
why it should be appealing for investors to
invest in the business.
1.2. Business Concept
Pay special attention to the
ratchet effect when you describe
the business concept. Make it
short and sweet and only include
relevant information that helps
establish your credibility.
–
If relevant, this subsection may include a
description of the history behind your
business idea and the evolution of your business concept.
–
Describe things like why you named the venture as you did and why you wanted to start this
kind of business. Maybe you wanted to start this business because, for example, you have
special skills you wanted to apply (but don’t duplicate material from the marketing and other
parts).
–
This section may be a good place in which to describe your business model. Expect that as you
develop your business plan, your business model may need to change. For example, many
business plans start out describing a business model that combines two or more business
functions when it may be best to start with just one – for example, a manufacturing and retail
operation might be best started out as only a manufacturing venture, or a store-based retail
operation including online sales might be best started as only an online seller.
1.3. Vision
Business Plan
Page 1
–
A good vision concisely, using very few memorable words, outlines what the owner intends for
the venture to be. It is what the owner aspires for his or her venture to become in the future. It
is not a description of what the business does at start-up.
–
The best vision statements are written in a way that inspires the stakeholders associated with
the venture to achieve great things through it.
–
After you write your vision statement, decide what it will look like to realize it. For example, if
you are preparing a business plan for a retail store and set a vision to be the most recognized
retailer in Saskatchewan for that category of product, does that mean that you will (1) have
company owned stores in the larger centers across Saskatchewan, or (2) will change your
business model to a franchise and achieve this vision that way, or (3) will sell your product
across the province online, or (4) does being “the most recognized retailer in Saskatchewan”
mean that you have one store, but you become recognized by winning awards and having a
high profile rather than by making lots of sales?
o
It is only by knowing what it will look like to realize your vision that you can aim
your strategies toward achieving it.
1.4. Mission
–
Mission statements should be very brief; a few
sentences or a short paragraph.
–
A mission statement indicates what your venture
does and why it exists. It generally describes
what the business does from the time when it
starts-up. It might briefly describe the business
strategy and philosophy.
Increase your plan’s strength
meter by ensuring that your
values are reflected throughout
your plan. You can do this in
your plan by sometimes
referring to them when you
