Global Process Services Business Plan To Meet Your Desires

posted in: Business Development | 0

The Global Process Services Grant Launched during 2019, resulting from the revision and implementation of the Business Process Services incentive, which is no longer effective.

The primary objective of the incentive is to create employment in South Africa through servicing offshore activities. The secondary objectives of the programme are to create employment opportunities for the youth (age 18 to 34 years) and to contribute to the country’s export revenue from offshoring services.

Thinking of starting a new, expanding your current or buying an existing business and need a professional Business Plan developed?  A business plan is the most essential element of the early stage planning of your business. Most business strategists agree that planning is one of the most important parts of running a business. There’s the common known saying that “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail” and no matter whether it is a large multinational corporation trying to plan an expansion or a small business launching an exciting new product, the importance of a well-executed business plan is of the utmost importance. We’ve seen numerous clients whose businesses shortcomings could have very well been avoided. Our developments are used regularly to create a vision, secure funding, secure non-repayable business grants, attract team members and/or manage the Company

The essential elements for a well-structured Global Process Services Grant Business Plan include:

  • Legal entity: Your executive summary should include copies of all registration documents, and the income tax and VAT certificates of the business entity.
  • Shareholders and management: Add detailed CV’s of all directors, members and key personnel to motivate that management has the necessary experience to manage the manufacturing, operational, administrative, human resources, marketing, and financial aspects of the business. A Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) rating and organogram must be added.
  • Capital expenditure: Include copies of recent quotations for land and buildings, equipment and soft assets (computers, etc).
  • Servicing: Provide a copy of the service process, service flow diagram, and office layout. Also include a detailed copy of the equipment required, with recent quotations for all input material costs. Describe the key staff involved in the production process and a transfer of skills plan.
  • Staffing: This section defines the cost to company of all salaried, waged, part-time and contract employees, historical and going forward. Ensure that salaries and wages are preferably market-related and not below minimum wage guidelines for the industry. Outline your process for identifying and hiring new staff.
  • Marketing analysis: Projected turnover levels need to be based on secured contracts, letters of intent, and/or detailed market research. Include copies of these documents and/or write-ups of the research conducted. Draw up and implement a general and specific marketing strategy to detail how the business will attract market share and achieve projected turnover levels. Some of the areas that the market research should focus on include-
    • Competitors’ analysis;
    • Competitive edge of the business;
    • Demand versus supply;
    • Sustainability of the business;
    • Future developments (technological, new market entrants, alternate products, etc);
    • Contracts with clients;
    • Letters of intent from potential clients;
    • Other networks and potential relationships that might have been created; and
    • Strategic location of the business.
  • For acquisitions: Obtain the past three years’ historical financial statements and latest management accounts for the current year. The valuation will be based on the Discounted Cash Flow Method (valuing the operations of the business based on its income-generating potential, based on historical and projected future performance), and not necessarily the value of the assets.
  • Financial projections: Eight documents comprising of the management account, income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, cash forecast, break even analysis, loan amortization schedule and fixed asset schedule with all necessary ratios, graphs and calculations.
  • Appendix: Statutory information needed by funders in an application (contact us for the complete list).
