Introduction

The business plan is a future view of the organization. This view should be updated continuously. An example would be when the view is project 36 months in advance, for each month, that view should be extended another month out. It will always be a 36 month picture of the organization. Too many organizations will wait until the end of the year before they "do their budgets." This represents poor planning in that the organization change continuously, not just at the end of the year. 

The business plan should address all of the following items. If certain items do not apply, please indicate and explain why.

  • A description of the Division and the Departments involved, including each's primary activities.

  • A description of the proposed income and funding activity.

  • How the proposed income and funding activity relates to the Division and Department  mission and purpose.

  • Who within the Division and department will be responsible for monitoring the finances of the proposed activity.

  • Any other funding activity currently being conducted by the department which would demonstrate the department's ability to successfully manage the proposed activity.

  • Anticipated start up date, and any related or dependent deadlines.

 

Costing and Expense Information 

  • Describe the operational activities and who (in or outside XXXX) performs these services. 

  • Who within the Divisions and departments will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the proposed activity. 

  • Describe type and size of expected activity base. 

  •  State what the expected per-unit cost(s) will be, and provide an analysis of the cost structure (operating costs, Staff and administrative costs, and transfers). 

Budgeting and Forecasting

  • Include a financial forecast for the current and next 3 fiscal years, detailing estimated annual funding, expenses, and capital needs.

  • Include a projection of capital funding needs for expenditures such as equipment, facilities, or inventory acquisition.

  •  Include a proposed budget for the current and subsequent fiscal year. Clearly identify:
