TOOLKIT

FOREWORD

Access to information is consistently noted as both a large concern and gap for tourism SMMEs. To address this gap in the market, TEP developed a number of practical toolkits in 2006. DEAT (Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism) then approached TEP to create an extensive Toolkit Project.

The objective of the project is to identify and address the needs of Tourism SMMEs for information and skills through the production and national distribution of practical and relevant toolkits in five (5) official languages. This will enhance skills and enable entrepreneurs to be more successful in business, resulting in job creation in the tourism SMME sector.

The project aims to provide adequate and user-friendly information to the SMME Tourism Industry in South Africa.

Through this expansion, TEP has a series of eight (8) Toolkits which includes:

• Legalities and Compliances in the Tourism Industry• Website planning and development in the Tourism Industry• Business Planning in the Tourism Industry• Marketing in Tourism• Quality Assurance and Customer Care• Tourism Channel• Communication in Tourism• Business Administration in Tourism

BUSINESS PLANNING IN THE TOURISM INDUSTRY

The information in this toolkit has been compiled to assist you in your thinking about what should be included in your business plan. It also aims to increase your level of business knowledge and your confidence in preparing a reliable business plan. This Toolkit is targeted at small businesses, people wishing to enter the tourism industry as entrepreneurs and existing businesses within the industry. The guidelines will also assist you to focus on the potential viability and sustainability of your business. Although the information is of a general nature, we are sure that it will guide you towards ensuring that your company meets industry standards.

We look forward to assisting you to grow within the tourism industry.

Yours in tourism,

CONTENTS



1. WHAT IS A BUSINESS PLAN?

A business plan records the series of actions that are required to be carried out in order to achieve your business goals.

2. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WRITING A BUSINESS PLAN?

A Business Plan helps you to:

a) develop a competent business strategy;b) take an objective, critical, unemotional look at the business in its entirety;c) determine the feasibility and viability of the business;d) simulate the real situation on paper;e) think through the important issues methodically;f ) anticipate problems before they occur;g) develop an operating tool to manage the business and work towards success;h) prevent ad hoc decision making;i) communicate your ideas to various stakeholders.

3. WHAT ARE THE MAIN CONTENT AREAS THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A BUSINESS PLAN?

The contents will vary depending on the nature of the business - whether it is engaged in the service industry or manufacturing, whether it is a start-up, growing or mature business, etc. It is not the headings in the table of contents that are important, but the content under each heading in the business plan that is relevant.

The Business Plan would include elements such as:

a) Executive Summaryb) History of the Companyc) Business Objectivesd) Manufacturing Plane) Production Plan

f ) Personnel Plang) Products and Servicesh) Marketing and Sales Plani) Competitionj) Research and Developmentk) Management Planl) Financial Planm) Operational Plann) Conclusiono) Supporting Documents and Annexes

When it comes down to it, the business plan is a work of art in its own right and should express the entrepreneur’s strategy and operational plans. The contents of the plan must, therefore, be clear and unambiguous.

4. WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE BUSINESS PLAN?

Investors and bankers focus much attention on the capabilities of the owner (frequently referred to as “the jockey!”). In other words, the person or people who will be responsible for ensuring that the business is successful.

5. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ELEMENTS A BANKER WOULD LOOK FOR IN A BUSINESS PLAN?

a) Did the owner personally do a lot of the “research legwork”?b) Can the owner substantiate statements made in the business plan?c) Does the owner understand the financial plan?d) Does the owner display a passion for the business and being successful?e) Does the owner have sufficient knowledge of the industry dynamics and the factors which may affect the industry in which the business will be operating?

6. WHY SHOULD A BUSINESS PLAN BE DONE RIGHT?

a) One vital feature of a business plan is that if you do not do it right, there is a strong likelihood that the business will not successfully survive the first year or two.b) Business planning needs to be undertaken seriously because it is an important, tangible representation of who you are, what you are and what you want to be to prospective stakeholders.

7. CHECKLIST FOR STARTING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS

For more information on legal requirements please refer to the “TEP Legal Toolkit”, which is available for download from www.tep.co.za.

Financial Plan Assumptions

a) Have you considered the assumptions to be incorporated in the financial plan?• They must be realistic and achievable.• They must be based on research.• Remember that all assumptions are interlinked and should make sense.





b) Examples of typical assumptions:• Time until first sale (time to market)• Sales volume over time (market share to be captured)• Rates of depreciation• Currency conversion rates• Predicted growth • Start up costs including capital costs, overheads and costs of sales• Gross profit percentage• Payment cycles• Stock levels

8. SOME FURTHER ISSUES TO CONSIDER

a) A good quality business plan alone is not sufficient to ensure a profitable and cash positive business. b) A good quality business plan plus a sound team are the basic cornerstones for planning a successful, profitable and cash positive business.c) The vast majority of successful small companies are built around a team and not a single entrepreneur. For example, they often employ the services of some or all of the following:

• Competent legal advisor • Competent accountant • Competent banker • Competent business advisor • Competent sales staff • Competent production staff • Competent financial staff

TYPICAL SUMMARY OF DUE DILIGENCE PROCEDURES

If you are serious about buying a business and do not wish to get into something over your head, then it is vital to undertake a due diligence of the business you wish to purchase. Remember, once you have bought a bad business it is very difficult to get out – rather let a doubtful business opportunity go by. There are always other opportunities at a more acceptable risk. Dealing with a seller who does not want to provide information is the first warning sign.

Typical contents of a due diligence summary:

Strategic Overviewa) History and background of the businessb) Examine the industry – growing, mature or declining

Business & Operational Overview a) Directors and senior managementb) Human resourcesc) Products and servicesd) Premisese) Production Activitiesf ) Research and development

Accounting and Information Systems Overviewa) Business control systemsb) Previous auditsc) Internal controls





d) Information technologye) Accounting policies

Financial Overviewa) Past financial resultsb) Current financialsc) Profit forecasts and budgetsd) Taxation (business tax, VAT, PAYE, SDL, etc.)

Trading Overviewa) Sales activityb) Customer base c) Product mix d) Product pricinge) Order bookf ) Order backlogg) Sales and distribution channelsh) Markets and marketing strategyi) Effects of related businesses in the groupj) Supplier profilek) Cost of goods soldl) Operating expenses

Assets Reviewa) Propertyb) Plane and equipmentc) Inventoryd) Accounts receivablee) Loans owing to the businessf ) Bank and cashg) Prepaid expenses, intangibles and other assets

Key Business Success Factorsa) To date, what made the business successful (or not successful)?

Remember that this is a typical list and there may be other factors to investigate in the circumstances of a particular business and industry.

11. AVOID THE COMMON BUSINESS PLAN PITFALLS

Here is a list of common business plan pitfalls to avoid when considering your business plan:

1 My business is too small to have a business plan.2 I’ll just get a consultant to write it for me and that will be good enough.3 Spending money to develop a business plan is such a waste.4 Trying to assess what can go wrong is a waste of time.5 Lack of assessment and understanding of the business and financial risks6 Underestimating how long it takes to build up a good customer base7 Underestimating the need to advertise and promote in order to create awareness of the business8 Underestimating the need to find good staff9 Excessive length of the business plan, which detracts from the main issues10 Excessive detail, which clouds the main issues





11 Excessive appendices regarding production/engineering detail, designs, etc.12 Excessive write-up about the production or engineering process in the body of the plan13 Excessive write-up regarding the financials in the body of the plan14 Irrelevant market and demographic data cluttering up the business plan15 With all the information on the Internet it is easy to go over the top with market research.16 It is easy to get carried away with charts, graphs and figures that do little to add value to the write-up.17 Information should be relevant and support the specific business strategies outlined. 18 Lack of or unrealistic assumptions and projections19 Projecting too high a level of sales in the first few months to cover inadequacy of start-up capital available20 Inadequate thoughtful narrative explaining penetration levels, market growth and revenue sources21 Avoid superlatives (e.g. “greatest”, “best”). Rather explain exactly why your product is the “best”, for example.22 Avoid use of non-assertive language. This includes vague, qualifying words such as “might”, “probably”, “maybe” and “perhaps” that can have a subtly negative effect on the reader. Be positive and definitive.23 First impressions count. Check for spelling mistakes, grammar, punctuation, unprofessional language, numbers that do not total and poor organisation/ logic of the business plan.24 Grudgingly prepared because the business plan is needed to raise finance and never really referred to again25 Using Internet business plan templates in a mechanical way without making them specific to your actual business.

12. SOME QUICK TIPS FOR WRITING YOUR BUSINESS PLAN

1 Don’t just start writing2 Plan out the entire process before beginning3 Have a brainstorming session with partners, trusted associates, people who know the business and a business advisor to get a few different views



4 Perform research and develop strategies first5 ENSURE THAT YOUR BUSINESS IDEA IS FEASIBLE AND VIABLE6 Limit your written plan to no more than 30-50 pages7 Limit the executive summary to a maximum of 2 pages8 Include supporting documentation in the annexes/appendices9 Prepare realistic financial projections10 Use graphics to highlight critical matters, but do not get carried away11 Research your competition particularly well and find out what makes them strong or weak12 Obtain brochures, product catalogues, website information, etc. from similar businesses13 Define your service well – explain carefully what market need your product/ service will address14 Think through how your product/service will be different from similar services already provided15 Explain how the “widgets” will actually be sold to the specific clients identified16 Ask a few trusted business people to review your plan17 Support assumptions with independent sources as far as possible18 Go the extra mile in devoting time to preparing and discussing the content of the business plan19 Gather reliable business information20 Focus on the CASH FLOW of the business and then focus on the CASH FLOW of the business and then focus on the CASH FLOW of the business!!!!!!

13. SUGGESTED BUSINESS PLAN FORMAT

A business plan format is a useful guideline to structure your thoughts into a logical business plan. However, do not think that these are the only items. Delete or add to the business plan format as you see fit in order to properly explain your business to relevant stakeholders.

15. CHARACTERISTICS OF A FINANCIALLY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS

A business plan is only the beginning of the process of building a successful business. Much will depend on your passion for success. The characteristics of a financially successful business usually include the following:

1. Profitable2. Positive cash flow3. Well structured balance sheet4. Adequate return to owner5. Loans repayable from trading cash flow 6. Good working capital management

16. PROFILE OF A SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR Banks look very closely at the “jockey” and will assess the overall fighting spirit and integrity of the entrepreneur. Do you have the characteristics of a potentially



successful entrepreneur? Characteristics such as:

High energy, health and emotional stability Goal orientated Sense of urgency Status (less important than achievement orientation) Moderate risk taker Creative and innovative Ability to deal with failure and overcome problems Enthusiastic Self control Self confident Realistic Need for control (i.e: not good at delegating) Hungry for accomplishment Support of family

17. WHAT DO BANKS LOOK AT WHEN CONSIDERING A LOAN?

Most banks have some form of credit model or process that they use as a general starting point when evaluating loan applications. This is the “bank speak” (similar to “doctor speak” or “lawyer speak”, for example). Many bankers speak of the “5 Cs”–

The “5 Cs” 1. Character “Who are you?” – Banks lend to people not to plans. Plans support people. The key to the success or failure of the business is the owner. 2. Capacity “Why is the business financially viable?” The financial projections of the business should be realistic and show that the business will be profitable and cash positive.





3. Content “Where will the money go?” What will the money be used for and how will it be repaid? 4. Contribution “What can you bring to the party?” The entrepreneur will be expected to contribute t least 25% of the total start-up capital required and thus have a vested interest in the success of the business. 5. Collateral

“What will happen if the business fails?” A banker would also, in most instances, require security or collateral to secure the amount to be financed.

18. BUSINESS PLAN FEES

Typically, fees charged by business plan service providers range from R6,000 to R12,000 but could be much higher depending on the complexity of the business plan.

Please refer to the TEP “Let’s do Business Toolkit” for information on how TEP can further assist with the development of Business Plans.
