Putting a Business Plan Together
Every business needs a business plan, regardless of its size. Good managers know if they improve key areas of their business and keep them in balance, their operation will be more profitable and run smoothly.
Since teamwork is important in developing a plan, key staff members should be involved in developing areas that affect their positions in the business, and a plan should be written down so both owners and employees can recall their objectives and stay focused on achieving their goals.
The Five Components
While each operator writes a business plan to fit his or her operation and business style. Here are the five basic components of a business plan:
Financial - Controlling spending and using capital wisely is a critical link in a smoothly run business. This includes budgeting and capital spending goals. Production - Zeros in on livestock or crop production goals and changes. People - Includes managing family resources, developing the next generation and training key employees in added responsibilities. Marketing - Probably the most important component for those operations that market directly to customers. Includes goals such as advertising and training staff. Those who sell wholesale need to plan how to contract with brokers or handlers to protect themselves from loss due to annual price fluctuations. Personal - A consulting client once said that personal goals are as important as business goals: getting away, shifting responsibilities, and putting funds away for retirement. Now we always suggest adding personal goals to any business plan.
3 Key Elements of a Business Plan Mission Statement:
Describes why and what.Why the business exists based on owners personally held values.
What products or services will be marketed and their purpose.
Objectives:Once you have written your Mission Statement, you are ready to begin setting objectives that will help you accomplish your mission. Objectives are general, observable, challenging and untimed directions for your business. They outline what you want the business to look like in the future.
Like your mission statement development, the setting of objectives should be completed by the top level management on your farm. All owners and any soon to be owners (i.e. younger generation family members) should be involved in this process.
Caution! Too many objectives will result in too many priorities to focus on. Stay focused on your Mission Statement. This may result in too much to do, leading to less effective results. Try to establish at least 4 but no more than 8 objectives. Remember to consider the following areas of focus when setting objectives:
Marketing/Sales
Production Practices
Financial Objectives
People/Personnel/Labor Personal Objectives Goals:
After you have generated your list of objectives; you are ready to set SMART goals that will work toward achieving each objective. SMART is an acronym for:
S pecific
M easureable
A ttainable
R ewarding
T imed
All goals need to share all of these characteristics. Work on setting goals for one objective at a time. Each objective will have its own set of goals; however, some goals may contribute to more than one objective. While your mission and objectives are appropriately determined by the board of directors of your farm, goal setting works best at brainstorming sessions, in which you include your entire management team. This includes appropriate family members and key employees. Inviting all appropriate team members into this process improves the sense of ownership in the plan and serves to motivate the team spirit in your employees.
Action Plans: Every goal must have action plans that explain how that goal will be accomplished. Action plans (or tactics) are precise and individually itemized plans for action. They describe exactly Who, What, When, Where and How activities will take place in order to accomplish a goal.
Designing an Organizational Chart for Your BusinessPeople are the key to successful businesses. Setting them up in an organized fashion to get the tasks done is a critical step. Below are some guidelines on developing an organizational framework (also in Appendix C).
First step is to label boxes with your key functions (Divisions).
Add boxes or draw a larger one on back.
Same person can manage more than one function.
Partial List of Functions
Dairy herd
Youngstock
Calves
Feeding
Planting/Harvesting
Crop Management
Shop/EquipmentPlanning for the Capital Investment Needs of the Business
You should develop a system of looking at enhancing and replacing your asset base: All too often, capital investment decisions are made in a hurry; i.e. real estate comes up for sale suddenly, a piece of equipment needs major repairs, new technology appears.
Steps to take should include the following:
STEP 1 How Much Can the Business Afford to Spend
1. Determine the farms net cash earnings: develop cash flow for the coming year, and find what is left after family living expenses. These are discretionary funds.
2. Calculate what the farms net worth is, and
3. Establish your risk factor and liquidity cushion. After putting liquid funds aside, what is left is for the capital spending.STEP 2 Make a List of What Major Replacements are needed to maintain the Asset Base (this is depreciation expense)
1. Review equipment inventory.
Use depreciation schedule for replacement schedule.
2. Review all buildings for condition and efficiency.
3. Continue with regular land improvements.
a. Clearing land, b. Drainage, c. Other
STEP 3 Make a List of New Items that Will
1. Improve efficiency.
2. Create a better product or more of it.
3. Save expenses.
STEP 4 Make a List of Assets that Would be Needed for Expansion
1. More land.
2. More equipment.3. Another enterprise.4. Additional buildings and storage.
STEP 5 Make a List of Items that you would like to do (Wish List)
STEP 6 Develop A Priority List By Ranking Those Items First That:1. Are essential replacements for present operation.
2. Have the fastest payback.
3. Are part of your long-range goals.
Leave until last those on wish list.
Use the worksheets in Appendix A to work through the analysis.Instructions for Budgeting Profits (Spreadsheet in Appendix B)Breakeven Analysis Budgeting from the Bottom Up
Creating a budget from the bottom up is a very helpful approach to determining the financial feasibility of your business plan. This process is relatively quick and simple once you get the knack of it and can become a powerful tool in business planning.
Starting from the bottom up means determining how much profit you expect (this is a minimum of how much you need to draw from the business to live on, plus the amount needed to cover principal payments on loans and a reserve for future investment).
The steps to doing this are:
1. Estimate how much profit you expect (or need) from the business. This will be a minimum of the amount you need to draw for living expenses (the owners salary) and the amount needed for making principal payments on loans. You should also have an additional amount allocated for reinvesting into the business to fund future growth.
Lets assume the following:
You need $40,000 to draw from the business to live on -
$40,000
The principal payment required on your business loan is -
$10,000
You wish to set aside $10,000 per year to help fund business growth -$10,000Net Margin needed from your business is -
$60,000
2. Estimate the annual overhead costs for your business. These are primarily made up by the DIRTI 5 (depreciation, interest, repairs, taxes, and insurance). They also include other costs such as advertising, rental expense, managers salary, office staff and supplies, utilities, fuel, professional fees, and other misc. fees, dues, etc. Once you decide on a facility and equipment investment for your proposed business, these costs can be determined. If you are buying an ongoing business, then the historic overhead costs are the best source. The DIRTI 5 can usually be estimated as a percent of your capital investment. For example:
Depreciation (straight-line) is the investment divided by the life of the asset, a 10-year asset would have annual depreciation of 10% of investment. Interest is the interest rate on debt times 50% to account for the fact that the average investment is 50% of the initial cost since the assets cost is being recovered over the life of the asset through depreciation (assuming straight line depreciation and zero salvage value).
Repairs on buildings and improvements are typically 2-3% of investment per year and on machinery and equipment about 10% of investment per year.
Taxes and insurance cost can each be estimated at 1%-2% of investment per year.
Lets assume your overhead costs for a $150,000 proposed capital investment in buildings and equipment for your business total $90,000. We now know that your business needs a gross margin of $90,000 overhead plus $60,000 net margin or a Gross Margin of $150,000.
3. Next you need to know what percent Gross Margin (%GM) you can generate from the product(s) you plan to produce. Gross Margin is what is left from your gross sales after you pay the variable cost of producing your product. These variable costs are also referred to as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). A GM goal for most retail businesses is 40% and for wholesale businesses closer to 30%. A 40% GM means that of each dollar that you generate in sales, $.40 will be left to cover overhead and profit. A 40% GM represents good production efficiency and is not easy to achieve. Rather that assuming a 40% GM for your business, it helps to look at one unit of production and see what margin can be expected. For example, if you will be selling hanging baskets for $12 each and COGS is estimated as follows:
Pot
$ .50
Gross Sale
$12.00
Soil Mix
$ .60
less COGS
$ 7.56Plant (Plugs)
$1.50
Equals GM
$ 4.44Fertilizer
$ .80
Shrink @ 3%
$ .36
Labor
$3.80
TOTAL COGS
$7.56
A Gross Margin of $4.44 per hanging basket divided by the sales price of $12.00 equals a 37% Gross Margin.
This calculation includes the potential shrink that will affect your actual overall gross margin. Shrink can include theft and toss outs of product that was unmarketable due to quality or quantity (you grew more that you could sell). Shrink can also occur from product that is sold at a discount (such as quantity discounts or end of season clearance sales). Shrink often averages 3% but can be as high as 10% or more if inventory is not managed closely.
4. Now you can calculate the breakeven sales needed to achieve your goal. You know that you need to cover $90,000 of overhead and expect (need) a $60,000 profit, and that you can generate a 37% gross margin on your sales. With this information, you can calculate breakeven sales using the following simple formula:
Gross Margin Needed
% GM= Breakeven Sales Needed
$150,000
.37= $405,405 of Gross Sales
Use Excel spreadsheet in Appendix B modify to fit your business.
Monthly Cash Flow Projections and Tracking
In Appendix D are very useful spreadsheets to help you take your annual budget and organize it into monthly cash in and out. This is like your checkbook. Projecting when you will use your money helps you handle when to get operating funds to bridge the negative months. This exercise is a critical action plan. The spreadsheets can be modified to fit your business situation.
The excel disk has three business samples, Dairy, Crop and Generic. Each sample has a budget and then one spreadsheet to track actual each month. This provides the discipline and tracking needed to manage financially.
FarmStarts mission is to provide you funds to help you operate your business on a sound basis. Piling up unpaid bills with large monthly interest charges is not wise nor is leaving excess funds in your checking account.Presentation of Your Plan
The final format of your completed business plan depends on your intended use. Your primary objective in developing a business plan is to focus and communicate direction between your family, partners and key employees. Such an internal plan may not need to be packaged into a formal document, but may rather be composed of an organized series of objectives, goals, action plans and budgets. The planning and budgeting process should appropriately become a regular part of managing your business on an ongoing basis. In this case, your plan is a continual and ongoing working plan.
If you intend to present your completed business plan to third parties (i.e. lenders, investors, and grant programs) or if your business involves a large ownership or investor base that you want to present with a formal plan, then preparing a formal document is necessary. The document provides third party readers with information they need concerning your business. It should present your plans and projections in a clear and concise manner. The document is an excellent tool for selling your business proposal to lenders, provided you have done your homework and presented a well-researched and realistic plan. The following is an outline to follow for your final business plan document:
1. Cover Page The cover page should state the name, address, and all important phone numbers for the business. You should also list the key owner(s) and/or manager(s) that are the contact or go-to person(s) for the business.
2. Executive Summary The purpose of the executive summary is to present the big picture of your business plan in a brief and concise manner. This allows the reader to get a feel for the overall plan before reading the entire narrative where the details will be described. This summary should not be more than one page in length.
3. Mission Statement Include your mission statement next. Highlight your mission statement by placing it on its own page.
4. Organizational Chart Include your organizational chart here. This gives the reader a clear and visual description of the management and staffing structure of your business.
5. Description of the Business (including objectives, goals, action plans) In this narrative body of your business plan, integrate the results of your objectives, goals and action plans. Make sure you have included the five components. 6. Projections and Financial Statements This is the blood and guts of your plan. Historic financial statements can include copies of your tax returns or income and expense statements along with market and book value balance sheets. Thoughtful earnings projections are vital to document the feasibility of your planned new expansions, diversification or enterprises. Cash flow projections with capital spending budgets are very important to include.To ensure action plans are achieving the desired results, control mechanisms need to be in place to monitor progress. The management function of controlling is measuring and reporting actual performance at prescribed intervals comparing that performance to set standards, and taking appropriate corrective action when events are not contributing to the success of the goal.
Control mechanisms may involve holding regular (weekly or monthly) management and/or staff meetings to communicate progress on various action plans. They may also involve putting into place accounting procedures where ratios or per unit costs are calculated and tracked for regular review by managers. The key to successful action plans is proper monitoring and comparison to predetermined measurable standards with proper corrective action when necessary.
