Title: Anyone got a business plan done
Post by: Blue Frog Systems on June 30, 2011, 07:13:26 pm
Well my van is at the point where it needs more money throwing at it than its worth. Time for a new van  asap (well second hand)

Spoke to the bank today and they want a business plan and some other bits (im going to be busy this weekend)

Has anyone done a business plan lately that could help me out ?

I did a business plan last year when 1st starting out ... bank took a copy and not sure they even read it.

Good to look back on though esp the financial forecasts pmsl looking at em a year later esp December which was a tad optomisitic to say the least  ;D

Just about to do a new plan for phase 2 of H2o as changing bank and want more funding for total north wales / wirral / chester domination (not Wrexham though as Gav owns that  ;D ;D)

Your more than welcome to have a copy of the framework for my old one though and if in no rush a copy of the new one which is a few weeks away as too busy doing windows.

like someone else said though dealer finance will possibly be lower than a bank at the moment depending on how much u want to borrow but typical 4 year flat rate from a dealer should be about 6% to 7% with APR of about 15 -16 ish APR.

Would aslo take a look at a new vauxhall as theyre doing 4 years free finance on new stuff so that would make a 2year old van not such a bargain .... just my humble opinion

I don't think it's classed as lending when you have a sawn off shot gun in you hand  ;D ;D ;D

just to get a van is not the best reason why you should have a plan

you don't need a big plan or anything complex
just something to make sure you are getting the most money
for all your efforts
