Business plans
are essential to the long-term success and viability of any business, but they are especially important for a dog kennel business because of the cost to get started and the expense of keeping it going. Without a solid plan, you will find it difficult to get funding and you will most likely find it difficult to get up and running. Business plans develop budgets, start-up expenses, operating expenses, marketing plans and potential profit.
Instructions
Make a Business Plan for Running a Dog Kennel
1. Decide if you will be filling out the business plan yourself or if you will hire someone to develop the plan for you. The best course of action is generally to do it yourself so that you have a complete understanding of the many elements involved in running a successful dog kennel business.
2. Purchase a business plan kit. This can be done online, at your local bookstore, or at an office-supply store. Business planning software will take you step-by-step through the process.
3. Begin at the beginning and fill in each section of the business plan. You will need to know the cost of many items (such as dog food) and will need to have a clear idea what you are planning to do. Will your kennel be equipped to hold five dogs or 10? The answers to questions such as these will help determine the answers to how much dog food will cost on a monthly basis.
