Business Plans
A detailed accurate Business Plan is essential. Not only is it often required when applying for finance or a lease, it causes you to carefully consider your business concept and viability. For an already established business it can be used to flesh out and drive future strategies and action plans.
Every business plan is different, but they all aim to cover most or all of the following:
- Business Structure
- Vision, purpose and goals
- Industry & Competitor analysis
- Marketing Strategy & Plan including - Target Market & Customer Analysis
- Human Resources Strategy & Planning
- Workplace Health & Saftey Plan
- Insurances, legal contracts, agreements and the like
- Operational Strategy & Plan, including technology requirements
- SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats) Analysis & subsequent plan
- Protecting Intellectual Property
- Product and Pricing
- Financial Planning – how to finance the business, cash flow projections, profit and loss projections, profit margins, cost per unit of sale
- Succession Planning and Exit Strategies
We can help you launch your business from an idea into a reality. When needed we can pair you up with a team of specialists such as Accountants, Insurance & Finance Brokers, Legal Advisors, Trade Mark Specialists, and Graphic Designers etc.

Partnership Pre Nups
Are you embarking upon a partnership? Do you have a business plan in place? Have you put in place a pre-nup and a partnership contract? Do you truly understand each other’s roles in the business?
Setting the expectations up front before the get-go can save you thousands of dollars and ridiculous amounts of stress and pain down the track. Ending a business or breaking up with a business partner is hard. Breaking up without a pre-nup can be ugly and disastrous.
Would you like Sync or Swim to facilitate what can be an awkward conversation between you and your business partner?
At SOS we have been known to save people thousands as they can determine before starting if they may not be compatible with their business partner. We've been known to save countless friendships by putting the budding partners through a rigorous conversation that will help determine your likelihood on surviving in business together! Regardless of the outcome of the pre-nup you will thank us for it later!!
Once I've decided to start a business - what else will I need to think of?
Well, there is no easy way to say this.... but you will likely need all of the services we provide our Established Businesses.
