samples business plans
To write a business plan for a new salon, entrepreneurs often look for sample plans on which to base theirs. Great care must be taken to make sure that the sample plan is high quality and worthy of being used as a sample in the first place. Many websites proclaim that they offer sample business plans and here are some ways to know if the plan you are looking at is worth the paper it is written on.
Proofread and Edited
Before even getting into the content of the sample plan, look to see that it is proofread, devoid of typos and spelling errors, and edited for grammar, repetition, and clarity. Anyone who is serious about writing business plans know that there is no greater immediate turn-off to a potential funder than poor proofreading and editing. You wouldn’t leave typos or bad grammar in your résumé and your business plan is just that – a résumé for your intended business. If the writer of this sample says this was a successful business plan, read no further if you find it hasn’t been carefully prepared. It is highly unlikely that the plan received funding in that case.
Standard Outline
Creativity should not generally enter into a plan’s outline and order of sections. Successful plans follow the basic business plan outline, which you will find described more or less the same way in most books and websites. This standard outline leaves nothing out, covering all of the areas investors want to see. If you see major deviations from this outline in the sample plan you are looking at, be warned that this either had to be an exceptional plan to overcome its odd outline or it was written by someone who ignored the basics.
Clean and Simple Look
A successful plan will have a clean and attractive graphical look. You shouldn’t see numerous fonts and inconsistent headings which can make the plan look more childish. You certainly shouldn’t see clip art which is not specific to the business and does not add anything to the plan. Graphics should either be charts or graphs which provide a clean representation of important information, relevant photos of the business, its location, team members, or competitors, logos of the business or its competitors, or other images with a clear reason for their relevance to the plan. A plan which doesn’t follow these basics is tipping you off that the content within may not be the best to serve as a sample for your salon.
