WHAT IS IN A BUSINESS PLAN ?
What is the purpose of a business plan ?
Xavier CORMAN 9 9/11/2011
"Writing a business plan forces you intodisciplined thinking, if you do an intellectually
honest job. An idea may sound great, but when you put down all the details and numbers, it
may fall apart.“
Eugene Kleiner, Venture Capitalist
Xavier CORMAN 10 9/11/2011
Why to write a business plan ?
1. To look at the idea in an objective way.2. To study the feasibility of the idea3. To check the business model4. To understand the financial needs5. To have an operational tool to start the business6. To help the management
A business plan ismuch more
than a financial plan !
Xavier CORMAN 11 9/11/2011

Xavier CORMAN 12 9/11/2011
Presenting to investors
Investors are not familiar with the technology of your product or the industry jargon.
Describing your concept clearly and incisively is your goal.
You must be able to convey the basic mechanics of your business idea to an investor with credibility.
There will be plenty of time at a later point for detailed descriptions and exhaustive financial calculations.
Xavier CORMAN 13 9/11/2011
1. Executive summary
Mimics your pitch
Should be very compelling and inviting to read the rest
“Summary” -> try one page
Xavier CORMAN 14 9/11/2011
2. Mission statement
Define your business at the most basic level In less than 30 seconds, explain:
Who your company is ? What you do ? What you stand for ? Why you do it ?
Explain what business you are in, purpose, strategic goals and business values.
SHORT !3-4 sentences
Xavier CORMAN 15 9/11/2011
3&4. From problem to solution
SOLVE A PROBLEM! Show the problem and for whom this is a problem Why are incumbents (if they exist) not able to address this
problem? SOLUTION?
What is it? Show it (sample, picture, demo, …) Why is it attractive? Is it durable? Is it timely ? Does it do something better? Does it create VALUE?
Xavier CORMAN 16 9/11/2011
5. Technology
How does it work? Does it work? Has it been successful elsewhere? Why has nobody else come up with it? Is it patented / licensed? Who owns the rights?
Xavier CORMAN 17 9/11/2011
6a. Market and industry analysisThis section of the plan should include: A general description of your market The niche you plan on capitalizing on and why The size of the niche market. Include supporting documentation A statement and supporting documentation as to why you believe
there is a need for your product or offering by this market What percentage of the market do you project you can capture? What is the growth potential of the market? Include supporting
documentation Will your share of the market increase or decrease as the market
grows? How will you satisfy the growth of the market? How will you price your goods or services in the growing
competitive market?
Xavier CORMAN 18 9/11/2011
6b. Competition
Identify your closest competitors. Where are they located? What are their revenues? How long have they been in business?
Define their target market. What percentage of the market do they currently have? How do your operations differ from your competition? What do
they do well? Where is there room for improvement? In what ways is your business superior to the competition? How is their business doing? Is it growing? Is it scaling back? How are their operations similar to yours and how do they differ? Are there certain areas of the business where the competition
surpasses you? If so, what are those areas and how do you plan on compensating?
Xavier CORMAN 19 9/11/2011
7. Marketing and sales
How will you make money? Who is your target customer? Mix (4 Ps):
Product and production - can you provide what the customer wants.
Pricing policy - right price and quality (do you have prove of willingness to pay?!!!!)

What do you know? What are your skills? Whom do you know and who knows you? What is your reputation?

their environmentally friendly image” “Consumers will love our this new IT platform, because it is
cheaper” …
Best case / worst case scenarios Identify risks in your business model
What happens if the market changes, you run out of cash before your first order, you don’t reach your targets…
What will you do when that happens?
Xavier CORMAN 24 9/11/2011

The 12 deadly sins in business plans (Gordon Baty / Zero stage capital)
1. Too Long2. Poor Writing: grammar, redundant, unpersuasive3. Poor Layout: illogical, illegible, poor illustration4. No Executive Summary5. Unclear Product Features: jargon, proprietary features, current
development status6. No Backup on Team7. Unsupported Market Estimates / No Primary Research8. Superficial Competitive Analysis9. Creative Accounting Formats10. Unfocused User Benefits: no Unique Selling Proposition11. No Demonstrated Customer Knowledge12. Lack of Compelling Reason to Invest Now
Xavier CORMAN 27 9/11/2011
Conclusion
A business plan is a living story that demonstrates how an opportunity can become a new venture, not just the writer’s dreams and wishes
Always use a pitch / business plan presentation as an opportunity to learn. There is no better critic than an investor.
Xavier CORMAN 28 9/11/2011
