I want to start a natural organic business but need to put together a business plan. The company is called Shellie's Natural Products, indicating a commitment to providing natural, organic, and environmentally-friendly goods and services, for individuals wanting to do organic skin care products, which includes soaps, scrubs, lotions, face masks, etc..


o You will have to have the financials for the first two years in business.

Company Info
Provide the basic company information in this worksheet.
Enter the company name.
Your business will start in January of the current year.
Enter the current year.
I will have to update the years at the top of every worksheet, as needed.
Use the drop-down to select the number of product/ service lines you plan to have
• The product/ service lines are the different categories of products or services you are selling (flavors, types of products).
a. Example of product lines: Your business sells chips in 3 flavors (regular, cheese, barbecue). Each flavor is a product line.
b. Example of service lines: Your business is a daycare. Your services are full-day care, half-day care, hourly care. Each type of service offered is a service line.
• The benefits and financial assumptions can be adjusted.
Enter the balance in your bank account as you open your business. The assumption is that you had made some sales before you started your business officially.


Sales Projections
I need to input the sales projections, the source(s) of your revenue.
• Speculate how much the company will grow and how much you will sell.
• I will need to reach total gross sales (line 40) of over $1 million by the end of the second year.
Product/ Service Lines: Specify the product/ service lines in the first column to the left.
Unit Volume= how much of each product or service you are selling (calculated as number of items, services, hours worked).
Under Calculations: 2%: represents MONTHLY VOLUME GROWTH RATE.
This automatically increase the volume in each month on this line using the rate you enter here. You can adjust this rate per your preferences or leave as is.
You can also enter each cell's value by hand, if you prefer, which makes sense if you need to show ups and downs in sales due to seasonal fluctuations, etc.
Unit Price= the price per or service or hourly cost (if you measure sales in number of hours worked).
Under Calculations: 2.5% represents the YEARLY PRICE GROWTH RATE.
This shows how much you plan to increase prices each year. It is not per month because consumers typically don't stand for frequent price changes. After one
full year, we increase the unit price by X%, then again after 2 years, etc. The default is 2.5% per year, close to inflation rates).
As a convenience, I can automatically increase the unit price for each year using the rate you enter here. I can adjust this per your preferences or leave as is.
Seasonal fluctuations, etc.
