Business Plan
Objective/ Overview
The objective of this major assignment is to devise, formulate and write up a
comprehensive business plan to set up and operate a new small local retail or service
business – a partnership or private company set up in Melbourne/Victoria not
interstate or overseas in the near future. Public companies or Manufacturing
businesses should not be considered. Do NOT base your business plan on an already
existing business.
The focus of MAA103 is on small and medium size enterprises and therefore takes a
practical approach on “how to” set up and operate a business in the near future.
Requirements:
Phase 1:
Group members must decide on the business you would like to set up. You may choose from
the list of suggested businesses (on page 5 of this assignment), or you may have a particular
area of interest you wish to pursue. If you wish to choose a business outside the list, please
liaise with your lecturer as to the suitability of the business you have in mind. You will then
need to decide on the business structure – for example a partnership or a private company,
and explain why you believe your choice to be appropriate.
Phase 2:
Your group will need to research the business sector you have chosen. This will include
preferred locations and why, industry background, competitors in the market and how you
plan to compete successfully – what will be your point of difference. Your research will also
need to include all the sections of your business plan such as your strategic plan, business
premises (buy or rent), start up costs and resources, staffing (skills and expertise required),
wages costs, marketing, advertising and customers (target market). You may wish to
allocate or divide up the research areas across your group, but keep in mind that you must
come together regularly to share your findings with your team members.
Phase 3:
Write up your business plan. Your formal report should include all the results from Phase 2
as well as your financial plan, operating budgets, budgeted reports and preliminary financial
requirements. The second component of the assignment will consist of a class presentation
of your business and your financing requirements. This will be a separate submission and
worth an additional 10% of your overall unit mark. The report template of what to include and
how to formulate your business plan is provided on the student portal under ‘Moodle’,
‘Weekly Outline’, ‘Week 1’, however you may include additional information relevant to your
business and success strategy.
