Frequently asked questions, is a business plan essential.

Why is a business plan essential for my start-up or existing business. A business plan serves as a blueprint for your venture, detailing your business objectives, strategies, and financial projections. It not only provides direction but also enhances credibility when seeking funding or partnerships. With Business Plan Partners, you benefit from our vast experience in crafting business plans tailored to South African standards, ensuring your venture’s success.

How can a business plan help me secure funding?

Lenders and investors often require a comprehensive business plan to understand your business’s viability and potential for returns. A well-structured plan, like those crafted by Business Plan Partners, showcases your business’s strengths, market positioning, and growth strategy, increasing your chances of securing the necessary funds.

I'm not well-versed in financial jargon. Will I understand the financial projections in the business plan?

Absolutely! At Business Plan Partners, we pride ourselves on creating business plans that are both professional and easy to understand. We break down complex financial data into digestible insights, ensuring you’re well-equipped to make informed decisions.

How does a business plan from Business Plan Partners differ from generic templates online?

Generic templates often provide a one-size-fits-all approach. In contrast, Business Plan Partners offers bespoke business plans tailored to your unique business needs and objectives. Our plans are compliant with major South African institutions, ensuring they’re not just documents but strategic tools for success.

Can a business plan assist in identifying potential challenges and opportunities in my market?

Indeed, it can. A robust business plan includes a thorough market analysis, highlighting potential challenges and untapped opportunities. With Business Plan Partners, you gain insights derived from our extensive experience in various industries, helping you navigate the South African business landscape effectively.

How often should I update my business plan?

A business plan isn’t a static document. It should evolve as your business grows and the market changes. Regular updates, especially after significant milestones or changes in the market, ensure your plan remains relevant. With Business Plan Partners by your side, you have a trusted partner to guide you through these updates, ensuring your business remains on the path to success. However, using our service for updates is entirely optional and not a mandatory requirement for a business plan.

What standards do our Business Plans adhere to?

Our Business Plans are crafted to meet the criteria set by:

• Finance / Funding Institutes in South Africa.
• South African Banks (FNB / Standard bank / Nedbank / ABSA). We are Official Partners of Nedbank.
• South African and Government Tenders / Contracts.
• The National Industry Regulator.

Will a Business Plan guarantee Funding?

While a well-crafted business plan significantly improves your chances of securing funding, it’s essential to understand that we cannot guarantee funding. Our role is to equip you with a comprehensive and compelling business plan, which is a crucial document for funding applications.

However, many other factors, such as market conditions, the viability of your business model, creditworthiness, and the specific criteria set by funding institutions, influence the final decision. What we can ensure is that with our expertise, your business plan will present your vision and strategy in the best light possible, bolstering your case when you approach lenders or investors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a business plan.

It is a document prepared by a Specialist Consultant / Writer (who has a comprehensive understanding of companies) that outlines and summarises the financial and operational objectives of the company and practically describes how the company will achieve its goals.

Do I really need a Business Plan?

In simple terms, yes. Not considering the compliance aspect and funding opportunities. The process of the business plan will allow you to have a better understanding of exactly how you are going to start and grow your company to be successful.

What are the Advantages of a Business Plan?

1) A game plan . A business plan can be considered to be a roadmap for the company. It will allow for focus and direction towards one goal, although things may change in the first few months – the end goal will be known.

2) Compliance . Depending on what your company will be supplying, be it service or product, many governmental regulating bodies will request a formal business plan for the specific industry. You can read more about various Company Compliance – here

3) Financing & Funding . To be eligible for funding, investors will want to know all about your company. They will look for things such as who your target market is and, ultimately, whether your business is profitable. A business plan outlines all these points.

Is a Plan necessary if I'm not looking for funding?

Many entrepreneurs are under the impression that a professional plan is purely for financial funding, this is however not the case. At the onset of your venture, a comprehensive plan will help you get a realistic picture of your capabilities and viable strategies. Once your business is off the ground and thriving the way in which you intended it to, your business plan will allow for direction and guidance to continue to thrive.

Speak to our professional business consultants to help with getting you funding ready today.

Are business plans highly visual?

They are by no means filled with graphics and images, however at certain sections or parts of the plan displaying graphics is highly beneficial to convey a message. At Company Partners, we understand that a visually appealing business plan can be more engaging. Including graphs, charts, and relevant images can help in effectively communicating key data and strategies, making your business plan stand out.

How much does a business plan cost?

The cost varies depending on whether you’re doing it yourself or hiring a professional like Company Partners. We offer tailored services that can accommodate different budgets, ensuring quality and strategic insight. A professionally created plan for a Small Business of approximately 20+ pages will cost R3490.

How can I write a business plan?

Start by defining your business idea, conducting thorough market research, and detailing your marketing and operational strategies. If you have trouble organizing all these different elements into one single document, don’t be afraid to look for quality free templates online. You can also view the Company Partners example to act as a guide you through this process, ensuring that your plan is comprehensive and tailored to the South African market.

What makes a good business plan?

A good plan is clear, concise, and detailed, with a strong emphasis on market analysis and financial projections. The professionals which view your business plan to make a decision whether to invest or fund you needs to have a clear picture of your trajectory and if their investment/money will be well spent. Company Partners ensures that your plan is adaptable and strategically aligned with your business goals.

What is a business plan consultant?

A consultant, like those at Company Partners, specializes in assisting businesses to create strategic and effective business plans. The specialist consultants have years of experience through working in companies to give them an in-depth understanding of how it works. Our experts bring this in-depth knowledge of market trends and financial modelling into the writing process.

Can I hire someone to write my plan?

Yes, and Company Partners offers this service. Our experienced consultants can craft a plan that aligns with your vision and market requirements, providing valuable insights and expertise. The best of all is that we can help anywhere in South Africa.

Should a business plan include a SWOT analysis?

Including a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis is crucial as it provides insights into your business’s competitive position. A SWOT analysis remains a very effective tool to analyse your company. Company Partners can help you identify these key factors, ensuring a well-rounded and strategic business plan.

What is the difference between a Business Plan and a Company Profile?

The purpose of a Company Profile is to furnish a comprehensive outline of your organization. A biography highlights both personal and professional accomplishments.

A business plan encompasses strategies pertaining to marketing, sales, and operations and used to apply for Funding and Industry regulators.

Funding for small business development

In a bid to grow entrepreneurship in south africa, a number of government funding platforms are available to qualifying enterprises and individuals..

The department’s mandate is the promotion and development of sustainable and competitive entrepreneurs, small businesses and co-operatives that contribute to job creation and economic growth.

As long as your business or co-operative meets the criteria, you can access funding or grants through the DSBD or one of its agencies. Bear in mind, public sector funding involves a thorough and careful process, so be patient and plan for longer timelines.

Established in 2012, the Small Enterprise Finance Agency (SEFA) helps start-ups and small businesses. They will either fund grants or loans or help entrepreneurs access funding from other sources. SEFA services are designed to help micro, small and medium-sized business enterprises. Co-operatives and survivalist enterprises that need help to grow are especially encouraged to seek assistance.

Loans from SEFA can range from as little as R500 up to R3 million, with the loans paid directly to owners. This direct payment is important in a business sector that is often not part of the traditional banking system. 

Micro, small and medium enterprises and co-operatives with a viable business plan can apply for a loan. SEFA staff will evaluate the application to determine the viability of the loan, and at what rate it can be repaid without damaging the company.

Call centre: 086 000 7332

Website: http://www.sefa.org.za/

If you are directly involved in your business and need funding between R250 000 and R75 million, the National Empowerment Fund (NEF) may be able to help. It is mandated to offer financial and non-financial assistance to black-owned businesses.

Funding decisions are guided by the Industrial Policy Action Plan across a variety of sectors. Start-ups can qualify for funding up to R10 million. The NEF also offers assistance for rural and community development, franchise finance and new industry development.

Call centre: 0861 843 633

Website: www.nefcorp.co.za / www.nefbusinessplanner.co.za

The Small Enterprise Development Agency – an initiative of the Department of Trade and Industry – is available to give guidelines and training to entrepreneurs and assist with the processes needed to access funds, such as the drawing up of business plans.

E-mail: [email protected]

Call centre: 0860 103 703

How to access services

Eligibility for assistance is based on:

• Ability to repay loan
• Business must be registered
• The business must operate in South Africa
• Assessment of application will be done at a regional office closest to the business.

After due diligence is done, a committee decides on approval.

Small Business Funding in South Africa - The Complete Guide

Despite a challenging and competitive environment, small businesses in South Africa have a variety of options when it comes to funding opportunities, each with their own pros and cons.

We’re going to break down everything you need to know in order to make an educated and confident decision about whether you should consider small business finance, and which type of funding best suits your needs.

This guide is intended to give you an overview of the entire small business finance space in South Africa. We cover everything from SME finance solutions to crowd funding, to government grants.

What is Small Business Funding?

There are a lot of big words thrown around in the business world, but what exactly is small business funding?

The one thing to remember is that small business funding is designed specifically for small businesses. That means they do not follow the traditional banking model where a client would need to put up surety (collateral) in order to receive funds. Small business funding works in such a way that businesses who don’t yet have the capital or assets to provide surety, can still get access to funds using new-age technology. Depending on your needs, and your type of business, there is a type of funding out there that suits you.

A lot of people will ask why it is expensive compared to traditional bank finance. The reason is the fact that the financers are often only relying on technology to make a credit decision. They are essentially ‘guessing’ (using very complicated algorithms) how risky a business is. Often, they will extend a business cash without any surety or collateral. That means these loans are more risky for lenders, and therefore more expensive than a bank loan where there is always collateral on the table.

However, because of the advancement in technology and financers having experience in the South African market, the interest rate (or set fee’s) on small business loans is reducing. They are often times the only (and best) solution for a small business that is desperate for cash to grow their business.

It sounds complicated, we know. That’s where FundingHub steps in . We understand the market, so you don’t have to. When you apply through FundingHub, we do all the hard work of funding the right funding solution for you. Depending on your business type, and needs, we’ll give you options so you can choose the best deal for you business, and access the funding you need.

This money can be used to help deal with operational costs, stock, equipment, or anything else your business may need.

This is often done when cash-flow is low or capital is in need to get the business off the ground, to help secure a new client or order, bridge a gap between payments, or to grow a business from one stage to the next. Of course, there’s no ‘one-size-fits-all-reason’ as to why a business should look into small business funding, as each business has its own unique revenue model, goals, and operations.

Should I Consider Small Business Funding?

Before you even embark on exploring funding options for your small business, you should ask yourself: does my business really require funding? There are a few questions to ask yourself in order to understand your needs and current state of your business.

Is your business eligible?

Unfortunately, FundingHub does not fund any startups. To be eligible for funding, you have to meet the following minimum requirements:

• Your business has been trading for 6 months. This means you have had revenues coming into your bank account for 6 months, at least.
• Your business has a monthly turnover of at least R30 000 (or yearly turnover of approximately R350 000)

Is your business currently successful?

If your business is doing well, you have adequate cash-flow, and are able to turn a profit, it’s unlikely that you actually need small business funding.

It’s always good to keep in mind that most small business funding avenues are often loan agreements in one form or another. Debt can be a tricky thing to deal with, even if a loan seems attractive right now.

However, there are small business funding options which reduce the risk and time associated with traditional loans.

Before you apply for funding, consider why you need the money.

What do you need the finance for?

The most important question you should be asking yourself is what the funds are for.

This will guide your decision most significantly.

If your finance is for growth, you need to ensure that the interest rate on the loan is not more than the potential return on investment that that money may yield. If it does, the loan will be costing you money.

If your finance is for other purposes, you need to make sure that the monthly repayment due for that loan is going to be repayable with your current cash flow.

Reasons for Small Business Finance

• Growth Capital

If cash is the only thing preventing you from taking your business to new heights (perhaps you need a new forklift for your warehouse?), then small business financing could help bridge that gap and is something to consider.

Working Capital

Working capital finance is best used in any situation where your business faces a cash deficit. There a lot of different types of finance that are classified as ‘working capital finance’. Think of working capital finance as the solution to turn to whenever you are unable to pay someone (i.e. short on cash).

Here are some specific working capital finance solutions that can help you:

• Purchase order funding for small businesses is an option, where you can use your purchase order documents from the reputable customer or client in order to draw funding from a bank or company. This financier will often directly pay for the stock you require from your supplier, in exchange for a portion of the profits.
• Invoice Factoring
• Revolving Credit
• Unsecured Loan
• Secured Loan
• Debtor Finance

Specific Needs

Sometimes, it is best to use a very specific type of finance that is suited exactly to your situation. By using these types of finance, the overall deal can often be more advantageous and/or cheaper for your business, because of the way the deal is structured. Here are some examples of situations where you might consider a specialized type of finance.

Contract Fulfillment

Otherwise known as purchase order finance or tender finance, this is specifically built to help your business fulfill a large contract.

The financer will extend you money to buy the goods/resources you need and then on fulfillment of the contract, you pay the financer back. Typically, they take a percentage of your revenue earned, which means you don’t have to come up with any cash to fund the deal. Everything is taken care of when you get the money in your pocket.

Equipment Purchase/Lease

This is especially applicable if your business is looking to buy or lease some equipment, but don’t want to fork out the lump sum in cash to pay for it straight away.

Equipment finance can be used for a wide range of uses; office furniture through to TLB’s and bulldozers.

The most common process used is a lease-to-own contract where the equipment you are financing actually belongs to the financer up until the day you pay your final installment. That way, there is less risk for the lender, you don’t have to provide any other collateral, and the loan is overall cheaper for your business.

Property Purchase/Upgrade

Another specific case for small business finance is when a business wants to upgrade its premises, or buy a new one. There are specific finance houses who will finance these deals, and use your business premises as collateral for the finance. These are typically the cheapest types of small business finance loans because there is security available for the lender.

SME Finance Providers

These are all the players in the small business finance space in South Africa.

Small Business Specific Solutions

Technology has enabled a new breed of small business lenders to start operating in South Africa. They are bridging the gap between the traditional business finance model that banks have previously offered and the needs of SME’s in South Africa.

FundingHub has established relationships with over 40 business lenders in South Africa. Some of these include:

• Retail Capital
• Merchant Capital
• Spartan Finance
• Pollen Finance
• Redtree Capital
• Chester Finance
• Keitzman Finance
• Cash Flow Capital
• Profit Share Partners
• Business Partners
• Business Fuel
• The People’s Fund
• CapX Finance
• Bright On Capital

Most of the notable banks in South Africa, including the likes of Nedbank, Standard Bank, and FNB, offer loans to small businesses, if you have security to provide.

Banks usually offer the following types of loans:

• Secured loans: Companies can use collateral in order to secure a loan (and a favourable interest-rate) from a bank. This collateral could include a property, assets, or inventory.
• Property backed loans: A specific type of secured loan where property is used as surety on the loan.

For small businesses, this can be a challenge. Buying property or assets which can be used as collateral on a secured loan is expensive, an often times out of reach for small businesses.

That’s where the need for small business specific solutions arises from.

Public/crowdfunding

Instead of approaching one large entity such as a bank or a single investor, crowdfunding involves trying to raise small amounts of money from a large number of people.

Crowdfunding can be very successful, especially if entrepreneurs share their business plans, pitches and progress via social media to spread awareness.

Utilising online tools, such as Kickstarter, BackaBuddy, or GoFundMe platforms can help generate interest and investment into your business or idea.

State / government

The South African government does have funding opportunities for small businesses, which can take the form of non-repayable grants (these do not have to be paid back, depending on your business), incentive opportunities (such as tax incentives to assist with cash-flow after a certain period or goal is met), and government equity funding , which would see the state purchase a portion of your business, making them shareholders.

Each of these have their pro’s and con’s. You should carefully consider where you are in your business life-cycle, and make your decision from there.

Types of Small Business Finance

Alongside the traditional small business loan agreements with banks, there are some other funding instruments that could potentially suit the different needs and situation of your business:

Purchase order finance

Often small companies (or even larger-sized ones) who may have received an order or have been requested to provide a product, stock, service, or resource that may be out of their scope, will likely look to purchase order financing.

That’s where you can step in as the provider of this service. If you have an official purchase order from a reputable company, along with your company's documentation and credit history being up to date, you can apply for purchase order financing.

Check out our full guide on Purchase Order Funding to find out more.

Equipment finance

Alongside the internal cash-flow of your business, you may need to raise funds specifically used for equipment, which can be extremely expensive. Thankfully, there is the avenue of Equipment Financing to assist with this.

The benefits of Equipment Financing is that it offers flexibility, which can entail custom-tailored deals that take into account

• The type of equipment you’re buying, along with
• Its intended use,
• How long you plan to utilise it for, and
• The amount of capital you have available.

These considerations may seem negligible, but they can drastically alter the conditions of the loan, lower your capital outlay risk, and get you a far more favourable interest rate.

Angel Investors

If your business is not in a position or capacity to apply for formal financing options, the world of angel investing could be your go-to. Private investors often invest in small businesses if the concept or promise-of-returns is of interest to them. This angel investing funding is usually done in exchange for shares or equity in your business; so if you’re in the early stages of your business and unable to acquire a loan from a bank, approaching angel investors is an alternative option – just be willing to part with a portion of your company in exchange for a cash injection.

Business Incubators

South Africa has seen a big growth in the business incubator industry, whereby organisations or companies will find new start-ups to help grow and accelerate their business. They may provide startup capital and/or other resources, such as office space, management training, and financial and marketing advice.

Advantages of Small Business Funding

While taking a loan or receiving funding may be a daunting prospect, it can help provide your business with the capital or cash-flow it needs to achieve greater success. Of course, finding the right funding solution for your business is the key. There are some advantages to receiving small business loans or funding:

• Boosts available cash for enterprising growth.
• Quick to access.
• Fair interest-rates (depending on the terms and conditions agreed upon).
• Allows you to purchase otherwise extremely expensive machinery or stock.

Disadvantages Small Business Funding

Of course, any sort of credit line or loan comes with pros and cons, and in terms of the disadvantages, it will essentially put your company in debt to an entity or personnel who provided the funding.

Some of the disadvantages to consider when seeking funding, include:

• Firstly, your business may not get approved.
• You may have to offer up assets as collateral.
• Even if approved, you may not get access to the cash you wanted.

The Finance Application Process

That’s where FundingHub steps in. We take the hassle out of finance.

All you have to do is full in an application form online, and we will guide you through the process.

Alternatively you can phone us at 087 057 1412 and we’re happy to talk you through the process.

Accessing Government Support Programs in South Africa

Are you a South African small business owner looking to take your company to the next level? Feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of growth and expansion? Don't miss out on the wealth of government support programs designed to empower businesses like yours. With the right knowledge and guidance, these initiatives can be a game-changer, providing the funding, resources, and expertise you need to thrive.

As a South African business owner, navigating the complex landscape of government incentives and support programs can be a daunting task. However, with the right knowledge and guidance, these programs can be a game-changer for businesses of all sizes.

In this article, we will explore the various government incentives and support programs available to South African businesses , and provide a step-by-step guide on how to access them.

Why Government Support Matters

Though South Africa is ranked as the biggest economy in Africa with an estimated GDP of over $400 billion and is part of the top 10 countries with ease of doing business in Africa , small businesses still seek support to access funding and navigate dynamic regulations. 

The South African government recognizes these and the critical role that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play in driving economic growth and job creation. To support the growth and development of these businesses, the government has established a range of incentives and support programs. These programs aim to address common challenges faced by SMEs, such as limited access to funding, skills development, and market access.

Government Incentives and Support Programs

Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA): SEDA is a government agency responsible for developing and supporting SMEs . They offer a range of services, including business planning, training, and mentorship.

Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC): The DTIC offers various incentives and support programs, including the Manufacturing Competitiveness Enhancement Programme (MCEP), which provides funding for manufacturers to upgrade their facilities and improve productivity.

South African Revenue Service (SARS): SARS offers tax incentives for businesses that invest in research and development, as well as for those that operate in special economic zones (SEZs).

National Empowerment Fund (NEF): The NEF provides funding for black-owned businesses, as well as businesses operating in targeted sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing.

Technology and Human Resources for Industry Programme (THRIP): THRIP provides funding for businesses to invest in research and development, as well as skills development.

Agro-Processing Support Scheme (APSS): Launched in 2017, the Agro-Processing Support Scheme (APSS) incentive scheme is a R1-billion cost-sharing grant fund designed to boost investments in new and existing agro-processing projects.

Export Marketing and Investment Assistance Scheme (EMIA): The aim is to develop export markets for South African products and services and to recruit new foreign direct investment into the country.

Small Enterprise Finance Agency (SEFA): The Small Enterprise Finance Agency Ltd (SEFA)  provides financial products and services to qualifying small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) and co-operatives.

Industrial Development Corporation (IDC): This is a national development finance institution set up to promote economic growth and industrial development. It is owned by the South African government under the supervision of the Economic Development Ministry.

Finding the Perfect Fit: How to Access Available Government Support Programs

With so many programs available, it can be hard to know where to start. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the landscape of government support for South African businesses:

Do a Self-Assessment and Determine Your Eligibility: Begin by clearly defining your business goals. Are you seeking funding for expansion, or do you need skilled personnel to drive innovation? Your specific needs will guide your program selection. Also, check the eligibility criteria for each program, considering factors like business size, sector, and location.

Research and Exploration:  Don't rely on guesswork – do your homework! Start with the South African government's official website  ( http://www.dsbd.gov.za/ ) where you'll find detailed descriptions of each program, eligibility criteria, and application procedures. Industry associations and business chambers can also provide valuable insights and program recommendations.

Build a Solid Business Plan: Your business plan is your roadmap to success. A well-crafted plan will be essential for accessing government support, and demonstrating your vision, strategy, and potential to stakeholders. Be sure to highlight how specific programs align with your business goals.

Gather Required Documentation: Streamline the application process by having all necessary documents ready. This may include financial statements, tax clearance certificates, and proof of business registration.

Submit Your Application: Follow the application process carefully, and be prepared for a thorough evaluation. Demonstrating a clear understanding of the program and how it will benefit your business is key.

By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to unlocking the benefits of government support. These programs offer more than just financial assistance – they provide the tools and resources needed to build a sustainable, successful business in South Africa.

FAQ's & Info on Business Plans in South Africa

More faq's & info on our business plans, what is a business plan.

A business plan is a written document that describes and summarises the operational and financial objectives of a business and outlines how it is going to practically achieving its goals.

What are the Main Advantages of a Business Plan?

Firstly, you have a clear plan to follow: Your business plan is your company’s ‘roadmap’ to start with. It will change over the first few months in business, but it gives you focus and direction – which is very important when you start a business.

Secondly, being compliant: Certain governmental regulating bodies or institutions, require your company to have a specific industry related business plan to apply. For example PSIRA.

Lastly, it will enable you to apply for outside financing / funding: Investors want to know exactly what your business will do, who your target market is and if your business is profitable before they will consider your application for business finance or funding.

Do I really need a Business Plan?

Yes, you do. Even if you think you have a clear idea of how you are going to start and develop your business, setting it out on paper forces you to be more objective and attentive to details. It is human nature to tend to be optimistic about future schemes. However, the process of drafting the plans will help you assess whether you have actually taken all relevant factors into account, or your plan’s success depends on outcomes you have no way of assuring.

Isn't a Business Plan necessary if I'm looking for financing?

No. It is a mistake to think that business plans are just something to give an investor looking for assurances that your business has a good chance of turning a profit. The benefits of a business plan are primarily for you, the owner. At the onset of your venture, a comprehensive plan will help you get a realistic picture of your capabilities and viable strategies. As your business continues to grow, your plan will help you assess whether you are meeting your goals, or a change of direction is needed.

Will I get funding?

A Free Business Plan Example to Launch Your South African Business This free Business Plan example provides you with a sample business plan as well as guidance on how to write a business plan and important sections to include in your plan.

By Catherine Bristow Scott May 28, 2019

You're reading Entrepreneur South Africa, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media.

It pays to plan.

Research conducted by Harvard Business Review found that "entrepreneurs who write formal plans are 16% more likely to achieve viability than the otherwise identical non-planning entrepreneurs."

Simply put, writing a business plan could make the difference between business success and failure – which is why planning now could pay dividends as your business gets off the ground.

But where do you start when writing a business plan? In this comprehensive business plan example, we provide you with what to include in your business plan and a sample business plan to help you to create a compelling plan for your start-up.

1. Executive Summary

If you have seven seconds to make a strong first impression in person, an Executive Summary will be the make-or-break section of your business plan – so make this section count.

As a brief outline of your company's purpose and goals, the Executive Summary should generally take up 1 to 2 pages of your business plan. Some key components to include in your business plan are:

• A company description
• A brief summary of your products or services
• The company objectives
• A short but thorough overview of the market
• A justification for viability, particularly "why now?"
• A snapshot of your business's growth potential
• A short description of the organisation team
• Your marketing plan
• Financial projections

Importantly, your Executive Summary must clearly depict the Problem, the Solution, and carry a sense of timeliness – why now should your business be considered as the solution to solve this problem.

NOTE: The following Business Plan Example is based on a fictional company. Figures will not reflect the exact financials of a similar company.

Example of a Business Plan Executive Summary

Snug Sneakers is a sneaker shoe range based in Cape Town that currently focuses exclusively on selling locally produced men's and women's custom sneakers.

The business was founded by David Smith and Stewart Bruce, who have both been working within the retail industry for over 20 years, David Smith, a serial entrepreneur has also founded successful brands – Creative Caps and women's cycling brand Pedal Power.

The brand is currently selling online, however has also recently diversified to selling in independent shoe shops.

The company is projecting to sell R2 million in year 1 and R8 million in three years' time. Additionally, there are expansion plans within year 2 to set up distribution networks in Johannesburg, and Durban in the early part of year 3.

Both David and Stewart are social entrepreneurs at heart and believe in providing sustainable jobs for impoverished communities.

As such, the company has started a recycling and training academy in Khayelitsha, where consumers can return old sneakers that are then repaired by Khayelitsha residents and donated to those in need of shoes. This also provides learners within the academy with shoe-making and recycling trade skills.

Industry research has shown that, on average SA consumers own 4 pairs of sneakers, with 4 in 4 consumers indicating that shoe fit and sizes vary across brands.

3 in 4 consumers indicated that their number one concern when purchasing is having to "settle' for the best fitting shoe, despite the fit not being 100% correct.

Based on these and additional industry research statistics, the company's sneaker products are driven to provide the best shoe fit, with the tagline of "shoes that fit so good, you'll never go barefoot again.'

The main competition to Snug Sneakers comes from 1 local brand, SuperStars, and 2 overseas brands Sassy Sneakers and Rock Your Sneakers.

Although SuperStars supports sustainable use of local manufacturers, the competitor does not provide custom fit sneakers. Sassy Sneakers and Rock Your Sneakers both offer custom fit sneakers, both brands are manufactured in China and do not promote sustainable, social conscious value propositions.

The primary means of marketing will mainly be focused on digital marketing, through evidence-based approaches, including search engine optimisation, Google Ads, Facebook Advertising as well as utilising social media channels that have proven very popular for the company, including Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.

The locally sourced raw materials, which include cotton, rubber and leather, will be supplied from a sustainable cotton mill and tannery in the Limpopo Province.

Funding for the company was derived through the 2 founders, as well as private investment.

2. Business Overview and Objectives

Creating an overview of your business when you are already established makes it easier, but it may be a little harder when you're either just starting out or haven't even kicked off your operations yet.

When you're just starting out, think about your products and services as your starting point.

• What will you be providing your market with?
• How will you be sourcing/ producing these items?
• What do you need to have in place before you can start selling your products?
• Who will be distributing/ manufacturing your products?
• Importantly, who will your target market or customer be?

In our example business plan, Snug Sneakers serves both retail and online customers, although the bulk of the business is through their online clientele.

This means that Snug Sneakers will need a secure e-commerce platform and a website that has carefully considered the user journey when buying custom sneakers.

The company will also need employees to assist with technical challenges, customer support, and warehouse staff for the packing and distribution of their products.

Similarly, you would need to consider the following when identifying their business objectives:

• What industry will you operate in?
• Who will be your customer?
• What is the problem that you will be solving?
• How will you solve this problem?
• Where will my business be located?
• What equipment and resources will I need within my business?
• What type of employees do I need?
• How will I differentiate my offering from my competitors?

After answering these questions, you will have a better understanding of what it is that you will be offering and what you need to make it happen. A summary of these points will make up your Business Overview and Objectives for your Business Plan.

Example of a Business Overview and Objectives

Snug Sneakers, based in Cape Town South Africa, is focused on providing sustainable, locally produced custom footwear to South Africa, and internationally through its e-commerce platform and local distributor network.

Founded by entrepreneurs David Smith and Stewart Bruce in December 2017, from Stewart's garage, Snug Sneakers grew exponentially within 1 year from 5 online purchases a month to an average of 200 per month within 12 months.

From the company's rapid growth, it became very clear to the founders that there is a gap in the South African market for locally produced, quality sneakers.

The founders' vision for Snug Sneakers is to become a socially conscious, sustainable brand that supports the South African economy by buying 80% locally produced raw materials.

Additionally, the duo noticed a gap in the market where consumers were looking for custom-fitted shoes and remain loyal to the brand that fit them best. To this end, Snug Sneakers offers a wide range of shoe sizes including quarter and half sizes to ensure that all customers find the right snug fit for their feet.

The overarching philosophy and ethos for the company are:

• "Soul sneakers' that allow customers to purchase sneakers that promote social consciousness.
• "South African sourced' sourcing locally produced raw materials that provide job sustainability.
• Superior sneakers' ensuring that customers still get a high-quality product that outmatches popular brands in workmanship and quality.

Company Status

Snug Sneakers was registered as a PTY (Ltd) on 1 December 2017. The main directors are David Peter Smith and Stewart Owen Bruce. Company shares are held by the founders.

The company currently operates out of rented commercial property in Blackheath, Cape Town.

Company Objectives

Snug Sneakers is currently selling custom sneakers primarily through its online store https://www.snugsneakers.co.za , with market penetration nationally, and highest market penetration in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Sporadic orders have also been received from the USA and the United Kingdom.

The company has also partnered with 3 independent shoe and clothing retailers focused on selling locally-sourced South African apparel.

The company has identified a 2 phased upscaling approach for growing sales and operations:

• Increase online sales by 40% within a 6-month period of 2019
• Increase brick-and-mortar retail partnerships from 2 stores in Cape Town to an additional 4 stores in Johannesburg by year end.
• Increase online sales by 50% by end of year 2020
• Explore opening up a brick-and-mortar store in the Canal Walk Shopping Centre, Cape Town
• Increase brick-and-mortar retail partnerships to include 1 store in Durban.

3. Products and Services

In this section, you will be unpacking your product and services offering, especially your key product differentiation from your competitors. Importantly, in this section you will also need to validate why your product is needed by your customers.

If you have applied for any patents, copyrights, or trademarks, you would also include these in this section.

Products and services that already exist may not need a deep analysis of what they are within your business plan.

However, if you're creating a completely new product or service (if you were the first Uber of the world), carefully detail in this section what your product is about, it's uses and the value it brings to the market so your readers will be able to evaluate the value of your product and services.

Some important aspects to cover include:

• The anticipated timeline to bring your new product to the market.
• What differentiates your product or service from those already available in the market.
• What will your operating costs be and profit margins.
• How will you source/ manufacture your product.
• How will the product be distributed to customers.

Example of Products and Services

Snug Sneakers will provide a line of custom sneakers for both men and women. The main product lines include:

• Casual Range: Everyday sneaker footwear
• Active Range: Active gym range of sneakers
• Fashion Forward Range: Formal but funky range of sneakers

Current pricing of the sneakers as follows:

• Casual Range: R550
• Active Range: R950
• Fashion Forward Range: R850

Competition

There are three main competitors that have been identified within the market. These include:

Local competitor:

1. SuperStars 40% locally made raw materials, with 60% of the raw materials originating from China. The brand however does not provide custom-fit sneakers.

Foreign competitors:

2. Sassy Sneakers are based in Australia, with the product line produced in China. The company offers custom fit sizes, however customers have to pay extra for the custom fit and product quality is low.

3. Rock Your Sneakers is a US based company, with the product line produced in China. The company offers some custom fit sizes, however the sizes are limited and the product is only available to South African's online and with a long lead time to delivery.

Snug Sneakers products have a unique differentiator within the market:

• A greater range of custom fit sizes ranging from ¼ - to half sizes as well as broad and narrow width ranges.
• The company will be the only brand within South Africa to offer 80% locally manufactured sneakers.
• Quality of the products is superior to the current locally-made competitor, due to locally sourced high-quality raw materials.

Future Products

The company has also been looking into introducing a line of sneaker care products to assist customers in increasing the longevity of their purchases.

4. Competitive and Market Analysis

Providing evidence that there is demand for your product or service is one of the most critical components of your business plan. Key to this is understanding your market and your competition within that market.

Embarking on market research requires you to have a deep understanding of what your market is and the opportunities inherent within it. You should be able to define:

• Target Market. The types of customers you will be targeting with your product or service.
• Market Need. If there is demand for your products and services and whether this is increasing or declining.
• Competition. The positioning of your competitors in the market and how you will differentiate your offering from them.
• Barriers to Entry. What will prevent someone else from providing the same offering or better.
• Regulation. Regulations that will be applicable to the industry that your business will be operating in.

Example of a Market Analysis

Target market.

With our initial line of casual, active and fashion forward sneakers, we're looking to target the following consumer segment:

• Age: 16 -36
• Digital Savvy: Researching and shopping online is part of this customer's DNA. The target market is also very active on social media platforms such as Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.
• On Trend: Fashion forward and looking to illustrate their unique personalities, the target market is always looking for fashion to express their uniqueness.
• Social Consciousness: The target market is proudly South African and are highly conscious of the socio-economic issues and have a keen desire to take part in improving the SA economy, uplifting communities and supporting local initiatives.

Market Need

According to a Global View Research Marketing Report, the global athletic and leisure footwear market size was valued at USD 67.8 billion in 2017. The report found that this value is expected to expand at a CAGR of over 8.0% from 2018 to 2025.

The ever-growing awareness with regards to the health benefits of sports and fitness activities, as well as an expanding retail e-commerce sector globally, including increasing levels of disposable income amongst millennials are estimated to be the key reasons for increasing market growth in this market.

Additionally, the Global Sneaker Market 2018 Industry Trends and Sales report found that although the global brands reported increased profit margins in 2017, these have decreased by 1.5% from 2016.

On the other hand, independent Sneaker retailers have reported a 15% increase in sales, particularly online, in 2017, indicating that consumers are moving away from global brands to pursue lesser known boutique footwear retailers.

• SuperStars is based in Johannesburg and provides sneakers with 40% locally made raw materials, with 60% of the raw materials originating from China. The brand however does not provide custom-fit sneakers.
• Sassy Sneakers are based in Australia, with the product line produced in China. The company offers custom fit sizes, however customers have to pay extra for the custom fit and product quality is low.
• Rock Your Sneakers is a US based company, with the product line produced in China. The company offers some custom fit sizes, however the sizes are limited and the product is only available to South African's online and with a long lead time to delivery. (Repeated above)

5. Marketing/Sales Strategy

You're on the right track when you have established that there's a market for your product and service and you have identified who your target market is quantifiably, but how will your market segments know to look out for or even buy your product and services?

This is where your marketing and sales strategy comes into play.

A well-defined marketing strategy goes beyond simply advertising your product and service – it includes a deeper understanding of how your customers will view your brand, what is the best way to reach your customers, the benefits that your customer will receive from using your service or buying your product.

Your marketing strategy must also include the budget for your marketing and sales efforts, whether you will require sales staff to sell your products and offer post-sales support, as well as how you will measure your marketing and sales efforts to evaluate their effectiveness.

Example of a Marketing Strategy

Marketing plan.

• Search Engine Optimisation : Our website pages will be optimised for search engine rankings, with the objective to rank within the top 3 search positions for keywords "custom sneakers", "custom size sneakers" and "custom made sneakers".
• Paid Search : Snug Sneakers will be investing in Google Ads and Facebook Advertising and well as Programmatic Advertising to increase landing page conversion rates.
• Social Media : We will be establishing a targeted social media strategy to increase followers across the social media platforms that have shown the highest engagement with the target market. High frequency posts will be created target at highest engagement times to increase engagement and brand awareness.
• Business Network : We will partner with independent apparel and footwear retailers to drive link building and link sharing both on website and on social media.

Customer Value Proposition and Value Differentiator

Although there is one locally produced sneaker competitor within the market, the founders believe that the customer value proposition being brought to the market is a unique offering and therefore a strong differentiator within the market.

The founders are cognisant that without this differentiator, the only differentiator will be price, which will ultimately have a negative impact on profit margins.

As a unique differentiator and value proposition, Snug Sneakers provides customers with Sneakers with South African Sole, leveraging the Proudly South African heritage and support for local initiatives to help grow South Africa's job economy and promote community upskilling and learnership programmes.

Additionally, Snug Sneakers will ensure that the quality of the products far outweighs those of global brands manufacturing in China. The most important differentiator, however is the ability to custom size shoes to each individual's unique size requirements.

6. Staffing and Operations

Strategy is irrelevant without execution – which is where your Operations Plan comes into play in your business plan. How will you serve your customers, while keeping your operating costs low enough to make sufficient profitability?

Your Operations Plan will detail how you will manufacture, staff, fulfil and stock your products, including your day-to-day operational requirements. Ultimately, this section describes how you will run your business.

Some questions to answer in this section include:

• Where will your operations be based?
• What is your management structure?
• What are your staffing requirements?
• What equipment, facilities and supplies will you need?
• How will you establish your suppliers?
• What will be the operational changes required should your company grow?
• What will your production methods entail?
• How will you service/ deliver goods to customers?
• What regulatory requirements must be in place? (Licences, permits etc.)
• How will you manage your inventory levels?

Example of Staffing and Operations

Management team.

David Smith is a serial entrepreneur who founded successful and well-known brands Creative Caps and women's cycling apparel Pedal Power.

David graduated from Stellenbosch University with a B Comm in Economics and went on to study an MBA at GIBS Business School. David heads up Snug Sneakers as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Stewart Bruce has worked in the retail industry as a Senior Designer for well-known retail brands, including Puma and Sketchers.

With over 20 years' experience in designing active and casual footwear, as well as sourcing and overseeing materials for the product range, Stewart brings excellent experience to the management mix as Chief Design Officer.

7. Financial Projections

The bottom line counts the most when it comes to writing your business plan.

Without the numbers to prove whether your business will be profitable or not, potential investors or lenders will have a difficult time objectively deciding if your business will be a sound investment.

Aside from persuading potential investors, crucially, the numbers that you have crunched will also indicate whether you have a viable business.

There are five basic reports or cash projections to include in your business plan:

• Income Statement
• Balance Sheet
• Cash Flow Statement
• Operating Budget
• Break-Even Analysis

It's important to come up with credible financial projections for your business to illustrate that it is feasible.

One way to tackle this section is to break down the figures into various components, such as by sales channel or target market segment.

At this stage, you won't be able to supply exact figures, because you're still estimating your future financials, but by breaking down your guesses into components you will be able to determine a more realistic figure for each component, rather than hazarding guesses as a whole.

The business plan should be an ongoing, living document that can be used as your guide for running your business. It requires continuous adjustment as your business changes and grows.
