Starting a small
business is always risky, and the chance of
success is slim. According to the U.S. Small
Business Administration, over 50% of small
businesses fail in the first year and 95%
fail within the first five years. Whether
you are starting a new Bed and Breakfast are
looking to raise additional capital to
expand your currently profitable Bed and
Breakfast, or looking to evaluate and value
your B & B to sell, current statistics prove
that you will do much better with a business
plan than without. According to Dunn and
Bradstreet the primary reasons for failure
vary, but all of the reasons come under the
category of poor planning.
You are a part of a 23.8 billion
dollar lodging Industry in the United States
representing one of the most competitive
Industries in the world. Your management
decisions will decide whether your Inn
survives or thrives in the face of increased
competition. The most important benefit of a
business plan is that it sets the stage for
the future of your business as you want it
to be positioned in the marketplace. A
business plan will make it easy for your
banker to take action as he/she gains
insight into the details of your Inn and the
goals that you have outlined. Potential
investors can review your plan and decide
whether or not to make an investment based
upon the risk. You will benefit most as you
study and gain detailed insight into your
own operations. Updating and constantly
reviewing your plan will give you more
insight as both a manager and decision
maker.
TIME IS MONEY...We have estimated
that it takes an average of 100 hours to
research, and write a comprehensive business
plan within any Industry. Creating and
compiling the five year financial plan and
forecasts including 5 years of budgets,
income statements, balance sheets, cash flow
analysis, and key financial ratio analysis
can take more than 20 hours of work by you
or your accountant. Now consider sitting
down in front of your computer to edit and
fill in the details of an already written
and organized complete bed and breakfast
business plan. Whether you are converting a
home and starting a 5 room bed and breakfast
or purchasing a 22 room existing B&B with a
restaurant and bar (Financial Calculators
are already built in if you decide to have a
restaurant and/or a bar all numbers then
consolidate), or you are looking for
expansion capital to open your second
location you will be able to edit this plan
into your own.
