Here are some resources online: HYPERLINK "http://www.sbe.gov.on.ca/ontcan/sbe/en/st_yrguide_en.jsp"Your Guide to Small Business http://www.sbe.gov.on.ca/ontcan/sbe/en/st_yrguide_en.jsp HYPERLINK "http://www.cbsc.org/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=CBSC_ON/display&c=GuideInfoGuide&cid=1085667968434&lang=en"Business Start-up Info http://www.cbsc.org/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=CBSC_ON/display&c=GuideInfoGuide&cid=1085667968434&lang=en  HYPERLINK "http://www.cbs.gov.on.ca/obc" Ontario Business Connects http://www.cbs.gov.on.ca/obc ii) Are any other permits or licences necessary for your business (e.g. renovator's permit, health permit and cartage licence)? Contact your Municipal Licensing Commission office for any of the above licenses. Will you be obtaining insurance for your business? Please indicate what insurance you intend to purchase and the cost e.g. third party business liability (property damage and/or personal injury), contents, commercial, vehicle, etc. iv) Are you planning to hire employees? If you are you will need to apply for an employer number. Are you aware of the deductions you must make? Contact the nearest Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (blue pages of your telephone book). If you have employees you should contact the Workers' Safety and Insurance Board (blue pages of your telephone book). Program Providers have information on all these topics. 3. MARKETING PLAN Customers What are the characteristics of your potential customers (e.g. location, income levels, homeowners vs. renters, age etc.)? Estimate the number of these customers in your target area. Costs and Prices Who are your suppliers, and what do they charge? What, if any, credit terms do you have with them? What are you charging for your product or service? Explain how you have calculated the price. Take into consideration your overhead, labour, rent and other expenses. Sales Estimates/Forecasting How have you calculated your weekly/monthly sales in the cash flow forecast? Take into consideration market research, units sold per week/month, jobs completed, etc. Competition Who are your major competitors and what do they charge for products/services similar to yours? What advantage does your product/service have over theirs? (e.g. why will customers choose your product/service?) Consider preparing a strengths, weakness, opportunity and threats analysis. Advertising and Promotion How will you inform potential customers and generate awareness about your product or service, and at what cost? When are you planning to advertise? You should investigate the costs and reflect them in your cash flow forecast. iii) Please indicate the number of sales calls you intend to make on a weekly basis and how you intend to source these calls (obtain phone lists, get names of friends, etc). 4. OPERATIONS AND MANUFACTURING Location of the business, including advantages and disadvantages, traffic patterns, visibility, etc. Issues such as hours of operation, personnel, suppliers and supplier agreements should be explored. Overhead, including labour and material costs should be determined. If you are operating from home, please specify what part of the house you will be using as your working space. Will you have access to storage, a phone, fax or Internet connection? Are you aware of local bylaws related to Home Business operations? Summer Company projects typically have a duration of between 8 to 12 weeks. Your business plan should clearly specify the start date and completion date of your project. Any absences during the term of your project should be explained in your business plan. As a condition of successful completion your total experience cannot be less than 8 weeks during this time period. 5. MANAGEMENT Identify and describe your role, background, experience and other key personnel within the organization. FINANCING AND PROJECTIONS Outline in detail how you intend to spend your Summer Company Award. The Award must be used to cover essential start-up costs and working capital of your business and must be fully itemized and reflected in your cash flow forecast. Please refer to the sample cash flow forecast available in the Summer Company Front Office. You must login with your email address and password to access this file. Questions to Consider. Will you be investing your own cash in the business? If yes, where will you get it? If the Summer Company award is not enough to start your business, will you be able to add some of your own funds? Do you have access to existing equipment to bring to the business? If yes, from what source? If you are purchasing equipment, it should be bought from non-arms length parties (e.g. friends/relatives)? Can you get goods and services as an in-kind donation? The following expense categories are important to consider as part of starting most businesses. Licenses, business registration, local permits and bank charges Equipment Advertising Insurance and start-up working capital should be investigated and addressed with the Program Provider to assess business requirements and allocation of the Summer Company Award. Your business plan is unique and other expense categories or financing may be required. This information should be identified as part of your plan. A sample cash flow forecast is provided for your convenience as part of the online application process and is available in the Summer Company Front Office. NOTE: Business plans are evaluated on their own merits and even if approved, may not receive the maximum Summer Company Award.
