Assessment
Step 1: Understand the components of the business plan and use the information as the basis for the video presentation
For this assessment task, you should create a video presentation of the business plan of the innovative start-up business that you reported in the previous Assessment 3. Having a business plan is necessary for any start-up, as it helps determine if the business has a chance to succeed, especially in this competitive business environment where new ideas have only a short shelf life. For this task, you may present your business plan according to the topics listed below. (NOTE: Your plan must consider and incorporate the 9 components of the Business Model.
There are two types of business plans: the long form and the short form. Consider this as the roadmap of your business in order to keep you on track during the initial stages of development. It states how you are going to achieve the objectives, where do you want to go, and the potential and market competition for your start-up. You do not need to add a lot of cash flow statements or numbers to the business plan but you need to estimate the amount of capital required and explain how it will be funded.
For this semester, you will prepare the short form business plan which is a written description that outlines a plan for the short-term and long-term goals to achieve a sustainable future for the business. As a minimum, your business plan must address these topics.
1. Describe the objectives and mission
2. Market analysis
3. Explain your start-up costs and how is it to be funded
4. Conduct a competitor analysis to understand the competition
5. Define your products and services to be offered
6. Develop management and operational plans
7. Marketing and sales channels
