Planning for Success

Planning for SuccessOur Business Plan is unique to S&N Pub Company and has been designed in conjunction with the major banks and a number of small business advisory organisations, as well as our own, franchise accountants. Its purpose is to de-mystify the whole, confusing process of planning your new business, encourage you to think through your ideas and also to take a realistic view of your finances.

A Business Plan is not just part of the application process and consists of a great deal more than just a profit projection and cash flow forecast. It should clearly explain why you, the potential retailer(s), are best suited to the pub. It should provide details of what the pub’s background and current market are, what (and where) the competition is and outline your plans for developing the business, immediately and in the longer term.

 Supporting all this will be financial forecasts, which should take account of risks, as well as opportunities. We strongly advise that you seek independent, professional advice from an accountant experienced in licensed trade accounting, to help you prepare your business plan.

We can provide details of two, independent licensed trade accountants who will provide advice and cash flow forecasts to S&NPC applicants at specially discounted rates.  Franchisees receive this service as part of the sign-up package. 

New Inn
Your Business Plan should be a continuous reference point for you in the future. It will remind you of what you plan to do with the business and enable you to measure the actual financial performance of the pub against your realistic projections.
