What's Your Question?
Making a Risk Management Plan for Your Business
It’s impossible to eliminate all business risk. Therefore, it’s essential for having a plan for its management. You’ll be developing one covering compliance, environmental, financial, operational and reputation risk management. These guidelines are for making a risk management plan for your business.
Developing Your Executive Summary
When you start the risk management plan with an executive summary, you’re breaking apart what it will be compromised of into easy to understand chunks. Even though this summary is the project’s high-level overview, the goal is describing the risk management plan’s approach and scope. In doing so, you’re informing all stakeholders regarding what to expect when they’re reviewing these plans so that they can set their expectations appropriately.
Who Are the Stakeholders and What Potential Problems Need Identifying?
During this phase of making the risk management plan, you’re going to need to have a team meeting. Every member of the team must be vocal regarding what they believe could be potential problems or risks. Stakeholders should also be involved in this meeting as well to help you collect ideas regarding what could become a potential risk. All who are participating should look at past projects, what went wrong, what is going wrong in current projects and what everyone hopes to achieve from what they learned from these experiences. During this session, you’ll be creating a sample risk management plan that begins to outline risk management standards and risk management strategies.
Evaluate the Potential Risks Identified
A myriad of internal and external sources can pose as risks including commercial, management and technical, for example. When you’re identifying what these potential risks are and have your list complete, the next step is organizing it according to importance and likelihood. Categorize each risk according to how it could impact your project. For example, does the risk threaten to throw off timelines or budgets? Using a risk breakdown structure is an effective way to help ensure all potential risks are effectively categorized and considered. Use of this risk management plan template keeps everything organized and paints a clear picture of everything you’re identifying.
Assign Ownership and Create Responses
It’s essential to ensure a team member is overseeing each potential risk. That way, they can jump into action should an issue occur. Those who are assigned a risk, as well as the project manager, should work as a team to develop responses before problems arise. That way, if there are issues, the person overseeing the risk can refer to the response that was predetermined.
Have a System for Monitoring
Having effective risk management companies plans includes having a system for monitoring. It’s not wise to develop a security risk management or compliance risk management plan, for example, without having a system for monitoring. What this means is there’s a system for monitoring in place to ensure risk doesn’t occur until the project is finished. In doing so, you’re ensuring no new risks will potentially surface. If one does, like during the IT risk management process, for example, your team will know how to react.

Writing a business plan
You'll need to write a business plan if your business is looking to raise funding:
- from a bank loan
- from grants
- from investors
- to run your business day-to-day
- to rent or purchase equipment
- to develop an idea
What to include in your business plan
When writing a business plan you should include:
- your company's details
- an executive summary
- information about your business and management team
- information about your products, services and your market
- financial information
- what finance you're looking for
You can find a template business plan on the Business Gateway website .
Company details
This section of your business plan should include details of your business's trading address.
You should also include any professional advisors your business uses, for example an accountant or solicitor.
Limited companies
If your business is a limited company, you'll also need to include details of your registered offices and company number.
Executive summary
An executive summary should give an overview of each section of your business plan.
It's the part potential funders will read to decide if they're interested in reading your entire plan.
It's important your executive summary is well written to capture the interest of potential funders.
Information about your business
This section of your business plan will give a summary of:
- what your business does
- the history of your business
- your current and future plans
Potential funders, like banks and investors, will look at this section to see how your business has performed in the past. They'll also want to see if your business is using the best practices for the future.
Your business's 'operations' are the way it makes and prepares a product or service.
This section of your plan should give details on things like:
- raw materials
- your facilities – location, size and cost
- key equipment – its function and age
- your distribution network
You should also include details if your business owns intellectual property on any processes or patents on any technologies.
Potential funders will use this section to see if your business can sell products or services in a form customers will like, as this could make your business successful.
Who manages your business
You'll need to give details of who is involved in managing your business.
This will be different for every business. For example, you could be managing a business on your own, or it could have an entire management team.
In particular, funders will be interested in finding out if you or the other people managing your business have the correct skills and experience to deliver your business plan.
You should give details of anyone involved in managing your business, including their:
- role in your business
- skills and experience
Businesses with management teams
If your business has a management team you should also give details of the team structure and any lines of reporting.
Information on products or services
This section of your business plan should describe what your business sells.
This will include details of any:
- unique selling points
- intellectual property
- patents or trademarks
You should try to describe your products or services as specifically as possible.
You might also want to include photographs, diagrams or illustrations.
Businesses selling more than one product or service
You should give details of all the products or services your business sells. This will help potential funders to see if your new product or service either complements or adds diversity to your existing business.
Giving details of all your products or services will help potential funders to see these opportunities and might improve your chance of getting funding.
Your market and customers
You should give details of the expected market for your products and services. This means who you think will want to use or buy what your business produces.
This should include:
- the size of your market and which part you want to target (for example Scotland, the UK, Europe)
- how you think the market will grow
- any competitors you have
- how you'll meet the needs of your customers
When describing how you think the market will grow, try to reference an independent source, for example regulatory bodies or recognised industry experts.
This section should also explain how your business will get past any problems that could prevent you from reaching your market, like supplier problems.
Your competitors
You should give details of any products, services or providers you expect to be your main competitors.
Include products or services that you know are currently being developed. You should try to show how your business's own product or service is different and why customers will choose yours.
How you will sell your product or service
You should also use this section to detail your business's sales strategy.
This will include your plan for:
- marketing and advertising
- sales process
- distribution
Financial summary and funding requirements
Your financial summary helps potential funders understand the opportunity they have by giving funding to your business.
It will include information on your business's historical performance – your profit/loss and balance sheet. It should also include your financial forecasts for the next 3 years – your cash flow, profit/loss and balance sheet.
Your financial forecasts should detail any assumptions you have made and how your business will respond to changes in your forecast, such as if you sell more or less.
For example if you've made the assumption your turnover will grow, you could say if this is because of market growth or price rises.
You can use information from other parts of your business plan to support your assumptions.
Funding requirements
This section of your business plan gives information on:
- the total funding your business needs
- where you expect to find this funding from
- whether you need it all in one go or at intervals
You should explain what you need the funding for and how it will benefit your business.
If your company has applied for funding from a range of sources you should include details of this. For example, a bank loan of £5,000 or grant funding of £2,500.

What is a business plan?
A business plan is a document that helps small business owners determine the viability of their business idea. Combining market research and financial analysis, a professional business plan helps startup CEOs and potential investors determine if the company can compete in the target market.
Typically, a good business plan consists of the following:
- Executive summary
- Company description
- Mission statement
- Product and services
- Marketing plan
- Operations plan
- Management organization
- Financial plan
- Conclusion & appendix
Every section involved in a business plan is designed to help startup businesses reach their target market.
A business plan asks founders and entrepreneurs to detail their business strategy in a step-by-step process that makes sense from an operational perspective. This is essential if a startup is seeking a business loan or an investment from a venture capital firm.
However, even small businesses that are already economically viable can benefit from creating a business plan, since it encourages business owners and their management teams to examine their business model and reevaluate the best ways to reach their target customers.
Should I use a business plan template?
Yes. If you’ve never written one, a business plan can be challenging to write.
Creating a successful plan that you can use to grow your small business can require weeks of market analysis and financial preparation. You may spend time using Microsoft Excel or Powerpoint in order to create documentation which better supports our operational decisions.
However, almost every professional business plan is structured in the same way and most ask for the same information. Because of this, using a business plan template is advisable to save time, money, and effort.
Business plan templates for free
Rather than spending time trying to figure out how to write a business plan , use a free template as a guide to completion.
Business plan templates from PandaDoc can help you reach an effective go-to-market strategy even faster by asking you to provide all the relevant information you need when creating an effective business plan.

Frequently asked questions
How many pages should my business plan be.
This depends on the kind of business plan you need to write and how you intend to use the plan that you create.
For example, a plan for a small business seeking potential investors or a business loan will need to provide income statements, cash flow statements, and a balance sheet (usually for a three-year or five-year forecast period).
These financial statements can be omitted if a small business owner isn’t seeking funding and is instead planning to use their business plan as a guiding document for themselves and their management team members.
Some business plans may only run a few pages. Fully-developed business plans can be as long as 50 pages. Much of this depends on the type of business, the operational strategy, and the level of detail that goes into developing the business plan.
Who needs a business plan?
Every business should have a business plan. This is an essential guidance document for any founder or CEO.
Good business plans help a company determine the viability of its place in the market and can help the business develop better strategies for differentiating itself from its competitors.
Business planning also forces business owners to evaluate their marketing strategy, the cost of customer acquisition and retention, and how they plan to grow their business over time.
What is the best business plan template?
Business plans come in all shapes and sizes. The best business plan template for your business is one that you understand and that matches the size and legal structure of your operation.
If you’re a sole proprietor, a business plan template designed for a big corporation probably doesn’t make sense. However, a business plan that helps you build an effective roadmap to grow your business while protecting your intellectual property is a good starting point.
PandaDoc offers specialized business plan templates for common industries along with tips to help you get started with business planning.
Should I hire someone to write my business plan for me?
No. You’ll find freelance writers and business strategy companies out there who are happy to write your business plan for a fee. These resources can guide you through the process, but you should write (or be heavily involved in) the creation of your business plan.
The reason for this is simple: You know the most about your business, and your business needs you to succeed.
A writer can work with you to make your business plan sound better to investors, and a consultant can help you fill in knowledge gaps — like how to conduct a SWOT analysis — and point out weaknesses in your plan. But, at the end of the day, you need to use the business plan to pitch investors and run your business.
Those ideas and guiding principles aren’t something you can outsource.
Should I use business planning software?
Software isn’t required when creating an effective business plan. Most business planning software is designed to help you navigate the outlining and writing process more effectively.
You don’t need software to write a professional business plan, but a solid template can help you get started. Download a free template from PandaDoc today and take your business to the next level.

What should be in your business plan?
Creating a business plan is a key part of starting any business venture. Even if you’ll never use it in this format for attracting investors and raising capital, it can be vital for helping all entrepreneurs to ask and think through essential questions.
Nowadays business plans are used as an internal roadmap for the execution of the company since pitch decks have taken over when it comes to fundraising required materials. For a winning deck, take a look at the pitch deck template created by Silicon Valley legend, Peter Thiel ( see it here ) that I recently covered. Thiel was the first angel investor in Facebook with a $500K check that turned into more than $1 billion in cash. Moreover, I also provided a commentary on a pitch deck from an Uber competitor that has raised over $400 million ( see it here ).
Don’t skip this part of the process. Though, do not let it become a distraction and slow you down from creating an actual business either.
For key insights on the why, when and how to create a business plan, and emerging alternatives for startups versus small businesses, see my Forbes article on How To Create A Business Plan .
There are many variations of business plans today. Especially, with the rapid growth of lean startups. A few minutes on Google will provide plenty of free business plan template options. The following is adapted from the SCORE Association’s recommended outline of categories, which covers most of the bases for exactly what to include in your business plan.
Executive Summary
This is the most critical part of your business planning. If you never flesh out a full business plan, make sure you create a fantastic executive summary. This brings together all of the key elements of your plan and will often be the make or break document which decides whether commercial lenders or investors will have any interest in seeing the rest of your documentation or pursuing a relationship with you. For additional guidance, you may want to review the Executive Summary Template that I recently covered on Forbes as well.
Company Description
This section provides a further overview of your company now.
- The company purpose, mission and vision
- Company formation information
- Who the founders are
- Location and geographical markets served or where you have a presence
- Current status and stage of business
- Any notable achievements so far
Products & Services
List what products and services your company has been formed to create. How are you solving the main problem and are serving the community with your business?
- Definition of the core product or service
- Development stage
- Screenshots or diagrams
- Current pricing
- Past test results
- Anticipated future products and services you hope to develop and roll out
Marketing Plan
This is another section which is an absolute must-have, even if you never develop a fully fledged business plan in its entirety. This holds key information that all financiers and potential investors are going to want to know. Even if you hope to just get away with using a pitch deck to raise the capital you need.
This is also a vital guide for yourself as a founder, and for your growing team as to what needs to be done and how.
Every minute invested in this section can pay great dividends over the longer term.
- Competition and market research
- SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats)
- Target market research (total market size and total addressable market (TAM))
- Brand and product positioning
- Elevator pitches and tag-lines
- Target customer personas and profiles
- Results of any testing conducted so far
- Marketing channels to be used
- Marketing budget
- Estimates of cost per action (CPAs)
For further guidance on this section, you may want to review the piece on Forbes with the title How To Create A Marketing Plan .
Operational Plan
This is your opportunity to organize and demonstrate your understanding of this industry and business.
- Facilities and space needed
- Technology needs
- Equipment needs
- Supply chain management
- Logistics and distribution plans
- Order and fulfillment processes
- Quality control checks
- Legal and accounting needs
Management & Organization
This section of your business plan will help you to identify your own needs, and demonstrate to investors and other licensing bodies and agencies that you are the team to get this job done.
It basically shows your management and industry experience and who will do what.
- Founders and executive team
- Any owners and shareholders
- Board of directors
- Consultants and special advisors
- Key team members and department heads
Financial Plan
Provide an honest snapshot of where you are and where you reasonably hope to go, providing you secure the funding you need.
- Current balance sheet
- Past 2 years’ financials if applicable
- Financial projections for 12 months, and annually through year 5
- Break even analysis
- Cash flow projections
- Income and expenses
In this section you may also be including startup cost and capitalization requirements, or funding and loan requests.
Startup costs should be thorough, have some additional cushion built in, and focus on development of physical product or intellectual property and growth. Not what you want to pay yourself as a salary.
If fundraising, be sure to include a repayment schedule for any loans, use of funds, runway to follow up fundraising rounds, and the milestones you expect to achieve by then.
Include all other information, references and required documentation here.
This will typically include:
- Articles of incorporation and status
- Resumes of founders and key team members
- Copies of insurances
- Trademarks and patent registrations
- Deeper research data or links to references
Stay Flexible
Just like your first attempt at coding a website, practicing your pitch, or riding a bike, it’s not going to be perfect. Do your best. Get outside input from an expert. Just don’t wait until you think your business plan is perfectly polished and cannot possible go any further in depth. Otherwise, chances are you will have missed your window of opportunity by a long way.
It is also crucial to understand that nothing in this document is set in stone. Pretty much everything will absolutely change over time. Roles will change, marketing will change, financial projections will change, and your product and service menu can change.
Having raised money for startups, exited them, and after interviewing many of the most successful founders and angel investors on the DealMakers Podcast , I’ve got to experience both the struggles and wins in startup life. Things change rapidly overnight and for this reason you need to adapt quickly to the market and change whatever is required.
This is a great guide and exercise. It’s a gateway to getting to the next step. Get it done, start taking action and stay flexible.
Creating a business plan remains a valuable part of launching any new business venture. Formats and business plan templates may have evolved, and new documents like pitch decks are becoming even more important.
Though without going through this process many entrepreneurs will find they have huge gaps in their ideas and may fall short when it comes to fielding questions from serious investors. Using this template you will cover most of the bases and will be able to take the next steps with confidence.

The restaurant industry is a dynamic, fast-paced one that requires careful planning. On this page, you’ll find information on business planning, business structure, and why it's important to plan your menu early.
Create a business plan
Your restaurant’s success will depend on your knowledge of the industry, your finances, and your customers.
Before you invest, start with a business plan that contains a realistic assessment of costs and profits to make sure your business is viable.
Check out these resources from Small Business BC :
- How to Write a Business Plan
- Starting Your Business Checklist
- How to Evaluate your Business Idea
- Overview of Financing Programs
Do your research:
Decide on your restaurant type. Different business types may result in different costs and requirements as you work toward opening day. Things to consider include:
- Will you build a new restaurant business, or make a 'turn-key' purchase of an operating restaurant?
- Will you open a full service restaurant ? Limited service restaurant ? Food truck ?
Demographic information can also be invaluable to help plan and evaluate your business idea. For market and statistical information in B.C., see:
- The BC Stats Business Gateway for business start-up information.
- Stats Canada Financial Performance Data : select B.C. and enter the NAICS code for full-service restaurant (72211).
- Stats Canada household spending profiles .
- BC Stats neighbourhood profiles and population projections .
For more support, contact the business planning advisory services from Small Business BC.
Choose a business structure
Decide which business structure is most appropriate for you: a sole proprietorship, partnership, or incorporation.
- Partnerships and Proprietorships
- B.C. Companies
Each structure has different legal and financial implications. To learn about the advantages and disadvantage of each, visit the Business Structures Information Sheet from Small Business BC .
A lawyer or chartered accountant can also help you determine which structure is most appropriate for you.
Plan your menu
Planning your menu early is beneficial for several reasons:
- Zoning : Knowing the type of restaurant you intend to open will help you find a location that is properly zoned. In most cases, a cafe will have different zoning requirements than a formal restaurant.
- Kitchen design : A copy of your menu may be required for your Health Operating Permit application . Your kitchen design must be approved by your health authority as appropriate for the type of food you will be serving. Changes to your menu after this approval could cause significant delays.
- Liquor Licensing : A copy of your menu may be required for your Liquor Licence application . To obtain a Food-Primary Licence, you must have a full selection of appetizers, entrees and desserts.
Find required permits and licences
Visit BizPaL to generate a list of the permits and licences you may need to start your restaurant based on your location.
Restaurants are heavily regulated in British Columbia, for health and safety reasons. Having a clear idea of the requirements can help you plan ahead and avoid delays.
