The next step for the entrepreneur is to have a very good business plan. It is a
wise thing to do in order to chart the course of the business properly and to focus the
efforts of the entrepreneur.
The purposes of the business plan are:
1. Entice partners, investors, and bankers to fund a business venture.
2. Communicate what the enterprise is all about, what market it wants to serve.
3. Show what financial returns it could muster.
The business plan should contain important information about the following:
The business plan should begin with business concept and the vision for the
enterprise in the next three to five years.
It should proceed to an enumeration of business objectives, key result areas, and
performance indicator. An overall enterprise strategy should then be articulated to show
how the performance could be attained.

Next, the business plan should contain an executive summary of the following:
1. The organizers and the key people behind the nosiness and why these people
have the resources, talents, skills, and technology to achieve success;
2. The market being targeted and why there is enough market potential to justify
the business;
3. How the business will be operated and organized, including all outsourcing,
subcontracting, franchising, and licensing agreements;
4. The products or services to be offered and why they are right for the market;
5. The investment capital required for the business and what exactly it would be
used for;
6. The technology, the technical expertise, the equipment, and material suppliers
to be utilized;
7. The capital structure (short and long term debt, stockholders’ equity) of the
business;
8. The operating budget, financial projections (income statement, balance sheet,
cash flow), and return on investment prospects; and
9. The risks in the business and the contingency measures to counterpart them.
The assets of the enterprise are financed by its liabilities. These liabilities are
composed of:
• Sole proprietorship
The simplest and easiest enterprise to organize. The owner or the entrepreneur
has sole control over the enterprise. He or she reaps all the profits and, also, all
the losses. But he or she will also incur all the risk.
The following are clearances that must be obtained to secure a mayor’s permit or
municipal license before they can operate in a locality.
➢ Barangay clearance
➢ Fire safety clearance
➢ Certificate of electrical inspection
➢ Certificate of occupancy
2
➢ Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) certificate
➢ Lease contract if space is leased
➢ Locational clearance
There may be additional requirements depending on the type of business and the
ordinances issued by the concerned local government.
• Partnership
If two or more persons bind themselves into a contract to contribute money,
property, and expertise in a common venture with the intention of dividing the
profits among themselves, then they would have entered into a partnership.
• General partnership
Is composed of partners who are liable individually and collectively to all those
who have claims against them.
• A limited partnership
Consist of partners who have limited liabilities while others in the partnership
have unlimited liabilities. A limited partner is not personally liable for all the
obligations of the partnership beyond his or her prorated capital contribution to
the partnership.
The partnership should obtain all the required government clearances, permits,
and licenses. It should get:
➢ A bank certificate of deposit on the money contributions of the partners; and
➢ The approval for its partnership name form the Department of Trade and
Industry.
• Corporation
The third form of business organization. Like the partnership, the corporation
also has a separate legal personality quite distinct from the investors who
contributed money to the enterprise.
1. Stock Corporation. Issues capital stocks divided into shares (or proportions of
the total capital). The corporation is authorized to raise capital that has a
corresponding number of shares.
2. Non-Stock Non-Profit Corporation. Is organized to carry out a purpose or
purposes other than generating profits for investors. All the surpluses (or profit
equivalents) generated by the corporation are not distributed to the funders in
the form of dividends. Rather, they are plowed back into the corporation or the
foundation to contribute further to the attainment of its mission.
3. Close Corporation. Has articles of incorporation that limit the ownership of
issued stocks to at most 20 persons. There are strict restrictions on the transfer
of stocks. The stocks cannot be listed in any stock exchange nor can any public
offering of shares be made.
4. Corporation Sole. It is a special form of corporation allowed by law, usually
associated with the clergy. The Corporation Sole is a trusteeship that is set up
for the purpose of administering and managing the affairs, property, and
temporalities of a church or group of clergy.
