One of the most underrated tools that any successful KBB has, is its business plan.

 

Are you ready for 2025?

 

Do you know what you want to achieve next year?

 

In the run up to Christmas, I will be running an onsite project, where I will come to your office or showroom, spend three hours running through a structured discussion process, and then go away and put together a professional business plan, bespoke to your business.

 

You can use it to provide a roadmap to your success in 2025, or it can be given to staff to allow them to share your vision for the business. It can also be used to apply for funding.

 

The main headings of the plan we will cover will include (but can also be personalised further)…

 

1     -     Introduction (History of the shop, the staff, and location etc).

2     -     Highlights - Total sales, profit, growth etc. 

3     -     Business Overview - Sales / forecast / recent news / business updates.

4     -     Market Overview - So more general, not shop specific. Interest rates, cost of living, material price increases and all things that affect the business outside of your control.

5     -     Product Offering - Kitchen suppliers, appliance suppliers and looking at worktop suppliers and additional products.

6     -     Analysis between the kitchen manufacturers and where each one is positioned and what we expect their share to be of the total turnover.

7     -     Routes To Market - Retail, trade and contract and what they look like

8     -     Competitive Landscape - Who is your local competition and what is happening in your area regarding new developments etc

9     -     Operations Overview - Installations teams, storage, deliveries etc

10    -     Areas for future growth - Premises, apprenticeships, in house installers etc

11    -     Marketing Plan - Social media, print, brochures etc

12    -     Financial Information - Overview - Headline numbers

13    -     Financial Information - Key Financials - Sales / profit / enquiries etc by year - History

14    -     Financial Information - 5 year forecast

 

We will also put together Mission and Vision Statements for the business.

 

I have the first ten spaces for this project available now, and the early bird cost for this is only £299 per plan !!!

 

What will happen ..

1 - We will have a one hour discovery call, preferably video, but can be voice, to discuss what you want the plan to do for you and what it should look like.

2 - We will have a three hour onsite meeting where we will run through a set of pre-prepared questions that will form the body of the document.

3 - We will then have a one hour follow up call to run through the plan, and finalise any changes that need making.

 

So as you can see, with a few additional conversations, we will be able to give you a finalised document in what would be less than a day's work, and it can all be done in the comfort of your own business.

 

You will then receive a PDF version of your plan, and also an editable Word or Google Doc version that you can then edit and revisit whenever you wish.

 

Bookings are taken on a first come, first served basis so if you are interested in getting your plan for 2025 together, get in touch now !

 

*If you are over an hour from Wilmslow then travel costs may have to be added. Alternatively, the onsite sessions can be done via video call.

 

Whether your turnover is £30,000 or £3,000,000, this plan will provide the foundations to take your business to the next level.
