Tips On How To Write A Business Plan

Comments Off
by leesbackyard    in Uncategorized

I am often asked the same two questions. Do I need a business plan? What should I include in my business plan? I am going to answer these questions when writing this article.

Do I require a business plan?

For most businesses the answer to this question would be yes, it certainly was my cheap holidays company. I actually thought that offering cheap holiday packages would not really benefit from such a plan – I guess that shows you just how un-educated in this field that I used to be. For the majority of new businesses and ones which require investment by way of a loan or a business partner, a business plan is a must.

This is the type of business which does not require a business plan:

A business which is happy to stay as it is and which has no plans to expand.

A business which never has a need to take out a loan.

A business which is a one man band and is self-sufficient, without the need of any outside help – as an example a composite door company business.

The business plan will aim to show its readers all about your aims for your business and how you are going to reach these targets. You need to have a strategy firmly in place before even attempting to write the plan.

What should be included in my business plan?

The readers of the business plan are of course interested to learn more about the proposed services that you provide however they will also want to discover more about you as an individual. They would be interested in your past achievements, your professional qualifications and about where you have worked in the past. Write down all of your ideas and really sell the positive side of your character to them.

Describe the market place that your business is a part of, such as DVD replication, the competition and also the opportunities for growth in that market.

Give them financial figures including running costs, projected earnings, projected growth forecasts and also any financial history the business might have had.

Show them that you are flexible in that you have a plan B if plan A does not come to fruition.

Generate Excellent Income As A Personal Trainer With This Eye Opening Secret

Comments Off
by leesbackyard    in Uncategorized

It’s no secret that a major key to success as a Personal Trainer Business Owner is learning how to market yourself. But if you think that you need a bachelor’s degree in business in order to market your personal training business successfully, think again.

Many of the top experts in business don’t have any formal schooling in marketing, but they know that confidence and charisma is the secret to doing very well. Not sure if you’ve got the stuff? Here are a few tips that’ll have you standing tall and your business seeing more green:

Stand Up Straight. It might sound familiar, like something you heard a kid. You probably already know how much body language communicates without words, but make sure you notice what your posture is saying. If your body exudes confidence, your clients and business peers are guaranteed to sit up and listen.

Dress Appropriately. Yes, how you look makes a difference, and the clothes you wear have a huge impact. Just because you’re a personal trainer doesn’t mean you need to live in gym clothes, so when you’re not in the gym think about what’s appropriate and the image you want to embody.

Pump Yourself Up. Here’s a sure fire technique for building confidence: look in the mirror and go over your best qualities. Maybe it’s because you’re such a good listener, or because you’re loyal to your clients. Speak out loud and repeat these reasons why you’re so great again and again. Keep up with it and watch your self-confidence increase quickly.

You want to be seen as a leader with charisma.

Fake It ‘Till You Make It. Exhausted and trying to keep up? Take a deep breath, and pretend that you’re a big-shot CEO, or an uber-confident businessman. Embody confidence and it will become natural to you.

Any way you look at it, self-confidence will effect your personal trainer business, and the more you can trust yourself the more others will trust you. And that lays a solid foundation to creating some serious green for your fitness business.

Interested in becoming a Rockstar Fitness Instructor?

Personal training salaries range from thirty thousand to well over a hundred grand. Are you getting paid what you are worth?

Proven fitness trainer marketing strategies are key in having a thriving Personal Trainer Business.

Reading Your Balance Sheet

Comments Off
by leesbackyard    in Uncategorized

Are you reading your balance sheet every month? Some of my clients admit that it is a little bit intimidating to them. It just wasn’t something they were taught to do. By walking them through a sample balance sheet I bring it much closer to them, believing that if they become familiar with it, they will make better business decisions because they will have an excellent tool.

You can use a balance sheet template to play with the numbers and practice your skill.

Preparing Accurate Financial Statements

To begin, we need accurate financial statements. It’s not always as simple or as obvious as it may sound. Many small business owners, when we first meet, tell me that their balance sheet is obviously wrong.

They may have had a family member do their books and that person had just the very basic knowledge of QuickBooks and knew how to input invoices and pay bills.

In order to prepare accurate financial statements for a business, a bit more specialized accounting knowledge is needed. So, let’s get the financials first.

Reading a Balance Sheet

Now we can start reading our balance sheet by understanding its main categories – assets, liabilities and equity. These three components are rather self-explanatory. Assets are simply what the company owns, liabilities are the company’s debts and obligations and the equity is the residual value. Your balance sheet needs to always balance and the equation is: Equity = Assets minus Liabilities. Assets and Liabilities are further divided into short-term and long-term.

Everything with a due date within 12 months is categorized as short-term. Examples of current (short-term) assets are: cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and inventory. Long-term assets can be items such as: property, plant & equipment (land, buildings, equipment and vehicles) and intangible assets (ex. goodwill, patents and trade names).

Typical current liabilities are: accounts payable, current portion of long-term debt, unearned revenues, taxes payable and accrued wages. And here are examples of long-term liabilities: long-term notes payable and bonds payable.

The equity section is usually composed of the following: common stock, retained earnings and net income. Different legal entities will have a different equity section.

Balance Sheet Analysis

The best way to read and analyze a balance sheet is using ratios, because absolute numbers don’t tell the whole story and do not capture the important relationships between the many components of the balance sheet. Ratios are like barometers, helping you stay on track and giving you warning signals when things start veering off in the wrong direction.

Balance Sheet Ratios

The most common balance sheet ratios are:

Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio = Current Assets less Inventory / Current Liabilities

Net Working Capital = Current Assets less Current Liabilities

Debt to Asset Ratio = Total liabilities / Total Assets

Debt to Equity Ratio = Total liabilities / Shareholders Equity

A detailed explanation of each one of these ratios is beyond the scope of this article, but I invite you to visit my site for a discussion of balance sheet analysis.

OK, so this is where I am here to help; in this article I will be writing about this new form of catering equipment which is a top seller in Asia and the Far East; I hope you enjoy the read.

As stated in the opening paragraph these menu boards are extremely popular in the Far East in countries such as China and Japan; they are also to be regularly seen with catering establishments in many of the Asian countries. Now some of the relevant companies and small businesses within European countries have cottoned on the product and they are flying off the shelves. This form of advertising enables a business to really stand out and especially of benefit to bars and restaurants.

Well it has been called “the future of advertising” and is basically a stunning board where your product/service is promoted to the public via stunning neon light effects. It is all about the quality of the visual effects which enable your business to stand out from the crowd.

So how much does such a board cost? These menu boards range in price from £35 to £150. The most popular menu board is available at £99 and they can be purchased from the well respected catering equipment UK supplier write and shine, this could be one form of cost reduction strategy that your business should benefit from; similar as to how many others have saved cash by obtaining cheap mobile calls over the last few years.

How much difference will this make to my business?

Well all of the feedback from businesses across the globe has been positive and this is perhaps why it is becoming so popular now throughout the UK and Europe.
