should more than offset the costs of doing business in an urban center. Most growers in traditional aquaculture grow a single product and sell to a small number of customers. In the urban marketplace you have many more choices. This will require the development of a complete Marketing Plan which will cover a number of detailed topics. These include: 1. Detailed descriptions of your customers, their requirements, and any cyclical factors which can be determined about the needs of those customers. If you are selling a variety of products, you will have to provide a separate section for each product segment. 2. Data indicating the current and projected health of your markets. You must make the case that your market will support you and that your potential market will remain large enough to support your desired business expansion. 3. Your strategy for gaining market share, including your advertising and marketing channels. 4. Your pricing strategy, which will take into account both your customers and your competition. 5. Your Internet strategy. In today's world, all businesses must look at the Internet as a major marketing channel. If you can't answer the question "How will you use the Internet?" you are ignoring a valuable resource. C. Competition You must take a realistic approach to your competition. Recognize that you have competitors and those competitors have the advantage of incumbency. In the urban marketplace you will be dealing with both local and remote competitors. Against each of these groups you will have advantages and disadvantages, so be careful to differentiate your competitors by location, customer, and product. Try to develop a file on each major competitor and identify their strengths and weaknesses. Show how you will counter their strengths, exploit their weaknesses, and turn competition into an opportunity for your own enterprise. Attending conferences and obtaining price and product lists from your competitors is a good way to build your file on the competition. D. Operating procedures In order to convince potential lenders or investors that your business has a reasonable chance for success, you must show how your business will be run and that you have the requisite knowledge and skills to operate the firm. Areas you will need to address include: • Your applicable business experience 4
• Your weaknesses and how you will compensate for them • A description of your management team and the abilities they bring to the table • Your plans for compensating for the loss of a key individual • A clear description of the duties of each member of your management team E. Personnel In today's labor market, a staffing plan is an absolute necessity. You should be prepared to define: • The knowledge and skills you will need • How you will locate and hire the required staff • Your plans for properly adhering to all applicable labor regulations • Your employee training strategy • Your salary and benefits plan F. Business insurance You will need a number of types of insurance for your business. Some of them are standard types of insurance, but others, such as crop loss insurance, are more specialized. Financial data Rule Number 4: What impresses lenders are thoroughness, accuracy, and attention to detail. There are a number of financial documents you will need for a comprehensive business plan. Some of them include: Loan applications Capital equipment and supply list Balance sheet Break-even analysis Projected profit & loss for three years Projected cash flow for three years Supporting documentation There are a number of additional documents you will need to compete your package. • Last three years of your tax returns and those of any partners • Personal financial statement (all banks have these forms) • Copies of any legal documents referring to the facilities you intend to occupy • Copies of licenses and other legal documents • Resumes of all principals 5
