    6. Marketing plans and strategies A very important aspect of a Business Plan. In fact, many loans are rejected due to lack of effective marketing plans and

    strategies in the Business plan. Embark on a very detailed analysis of the market condition so that you will be

    able to make accurate and sensible sales projection. A good Business Plan will take account the aspects of products/services to be

    offered prospects and customers, benefits and advantages, ease ofavailability, location, advertising & promotion and competition.

    How does your product differ from what is currently being offered in themarket?

    Is it the same? Are you selling your product at a competitive price, lower price, or higher price?

    What about the distribution and supply chain element? Are you appointing authorized dealers and agents, or you will be selling directly

    to the customers? What are the medium of advertising & promotion you will be using

    distributing flyers, internet, newspaper, radio, television and so on (do notoverlook the cost associated with each of the promotional method)?

    7. Operation/production plan If your business is product-based, how many quantities you will be producing in,

    lets say, 1 month? If the product will undergo a manufacturing cycle, draw a clear flow diagram or

    chart of the complete process for the readers to see. How does the inventory works? How is the maintenance of the machinery is carried out?
