12 hours of work done by two senior, experienced Consultants supported by a skilled document producer/Admin person. 

Two on-line meetings with a Lead Consultant:  

  • (Before the first meeting we send you a short Questionnaire to get the basic information about you and your business idea or start up)
  • The first meeting is at the start of the process; for 45-60 minutes (or as much times as you need) to talk about what we will be researching, and gathering for your Business Plan, and to learn more about your business or start-up.  
  • At this or the next meeting we can also give you advice, help you with your questions, and share our expertise, troubleshoot and help you with common problems clients encounter setting up hospo businesses. 
  1. After the first meeting we gather data, Financials / Market Research, do Analysis, Writing, Editing, and Proofing 
  • We also have a second meeting after we send you your Plan Version 1, for any Questions and Queries you have now that you have your Plan, usually this takes up to 30 minutes. 

Admin person: 

  • Gathers and saves all important documents that we use to create your Plan 
  • Formats, types (content from Consultants), does the charting, graphs, and tables, then proof 

Two Versions: 

  • You can get us to make changes to the first Version, if you need any, and then send the second Version to the Landlord and/or Bank.

Two out of every 15 Business Plans we write are in the hospitality sector. Whether you are looking to start a new coffee shop business or expand a high-end restaurant chain, we can help with the creation of a new business plan. We’ve helped start-ups and established businesses, from food stalls and food trucks, cafes, bistros and restaurants in the writing of their Business Plans.

Did you know there are hundreds of cafés and restaurants starting up every year in Australia? Many of these will flourish, but some will fail. A good Business Plan doesn’t just get you the bank loan, or the lease. It also makes sure that you’re one of the ones that flourish.

The most important thing about a café or restaurant Business Plan is helping you with the location – market analysis and research, micro pinpointing the best street, or the best unit in the mall based on data, recommending menu developing and management, identifying and listing compliance and licensing regulations in your local Council or State, advising how best to manage the fit-out to make sure you optimise your tax position.

All of these and more are in our Café and Restaurant Business Plans.

One more thing

If you are wondering how to open a restaurant or a café…a business plan is a great, and quick way to start.

Thinking of spending money on equipment or a fitout? Our Accountancy specialist will help you with advice to ensure you get as much tax back as possible in your first year of trading.

I had the pleasure of working with David and his team to create a business plan and I am beyond impressed! The plan exceeded my expectations – it was well-researched, clear, and tailored specifically to my business. It was so clear and thorough I didn't even need the second face to face meeting to clarify any points. The attention to detail and professionalism they brought to the process was outstanding. They also offered valuable insights that I hadn’t considered, which helped me refine my strategy. I highly recommend Small Business Plans by Assent to anyone looking for a top-notch business plan that will help set your business up for success.
