The financial section of your business plan is especially relevant to funding concerns. Not surprisingly, lenders immediately turn to the financial section and use the accuracy of your forecasts to gauge the value of other parts of the plan.
With so much riding on your business plan, we recommend getting a firm grasp on business plan financial basics before you start writing the other parts of your business plan.
Consider Competitors

Complete the form by entering your city, state and zip code to get a list of computer enhancements businesses that are close by.
If there's too much competition, it may be wise to consider starting the business in a less competitive marketplace.
Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor
Once you've finished assessing the competion, be sure to speak with somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
However, an entrepreneur who owns a computer enhancements business on the other side of the country can be a great learning resource for you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. If you are persistent, you can find a business mentor who is willing to help you out.
Where do you find an owner of a computer enhancements business who is willing to advise you because you live in different cities?
It's not that hard. Just use the handy link below and enter in a random city/state or zipcode.
Financial Benefits of Buying a Computer Enhancements Business
You've invested a lot of time and effort in planning your startup. But here's something you probably don't know: Startup computer enhancements businesses consistently fail to achieve the financial performance of acquired computer enhancements businesses.
Financial risk management requires you to at least consider the possibility of setting your startup plans aside to explore acquisition opportunities. Many entrepreneurs buy an existing business for the sole purpose of tapping into the financial benefits of an established customer base.
An acquired business also has documented assets and earnings - a big advantage with lenders and investors.
Don't Rule Out Franchising
Recognize that your chances of doing well with your venture increase when you choose to franchise and leverage their successful brand and track record.
Before you consider starting a computer enhancements business, you should determine whether purchasing a franchise might simplify your entering the business.
