  • Raccogliete innanzitutto tutte le informazioni attualmente in vostro possesso sulla vostra attività e poi utilizzatele per compilare ogni sezione dello schema del vostro piano.
  • Utilizzate le vostre risorse e conducete ulteriori ricerche per colmare le lacune rimanenti. (Nota: Non è necessario compilare il piano in ordine, ma il sommario esecutivo deve essere completato per ultimo, in quanto riassume i punti chiave del piano)
  • Assicuratevi che il vostro piano comunichi chiaramente la relazione tra gli obiettivi di marketing, vendita e finanziari.
  • Fornite i dettagli del vostro piano che illustrano il vostro piano d'azione strategico, con una prospettiva di tre-cinque anni.
  • Rivedete regolarmente il vostro piano con l'evolversi delle strategie e degli obiettivi.
  • Che prodotto o servizio offriamo?
  • A chi si rivolge il prodotto o il servizio?
  • Quale problema risolve la nostra offerta di prodotti o servizi?
  • Come faremo a far arrivare il prodotto o il servizio ai nostri clienti target?
  • Perché il nostro prodotto o servizio è migliore delle alternative?
  • Come possiamo superare i nostri concorrenti?
  • Qual è la nostra proposta di valore unica?
  • Quando si faranno le cose e chi è responsabile di farle?
  • Se dovete ottenere un finanziamento, come lo utilizzerete?
  • Quando devono essere pagati e quando arrivano i pagamenti?
  • Qual è lo scopo ultimo della vostra attività?
  • Quando pensate di essere redditizi?

Per individuare il tipo di business plan da scrivere e per ulteriori consigli utili, date un'occhiata alla nostra guida a scrivere un semplice business plan .

Vantaggi dell'utilizzo di un modello di business plan

Creare un business plan può richiedere molto tempo, soprattutto se non si sa da dove cominciare. Trovare il modello giusto per le vostre esigenze aziendali può essere vantaggioso per una serie di motivi.

L'utilizzo di un modello di business plan, invece di creare il piano da zero, può essere vantaggioso nei seguenti modi:

  • Permette di annotare immediatamente i propri pensieri e le proprie idee in modo organizzato
  • Fornisce una struttura che aiuta a delineare il piano
  • Risparmio di tempo e di risorse preziose
  • Aiuta a non perdere i dettagli essenziali

Limiti di un modello di business plan

Un modello di business plan può essere comodo, ma ha i suoi svantaggi, soprattutto se si utilizza un modello che non si adatta alle esigenze specifiche della vostra azienda.

Di seguito sono riportati alcuni limiti dell'utilizzo di un modello di business plan:

  • Ogni azienda è unica e ha bisogno di un business plan che la rispecchi. Un modello potrebbe non essere adatto alle vostre esigenze.
  • Un modello può limitare la collaborazione con altri membri del team su diversi aspetti dello sviluppo del piano (team di vendita, marketing e contabilità).
  • Più file contenenti versioni diverse del piano possono essere archiviati in più di un luogo.
  • È ancora necessario creare manualmente grafici e diagrammi da aggiungere al piano per supportare la strategia.
  • Gli aggiornamenti del piano, dei fogli di calcolo e dei documenti di supporto devono essere effettuati in più punti (non è detto che tutti i documenti si aggiornino in tempo reale quando vengono apportate le modifiche).

The importance of the financial model in your business plan.

A solid financial model is a critical component of any well-prepared business plan. It provides a comprehensive and detailed projection of your business’ financial performance, including revenue, expenses, cash flow, and profitability. The financial model is not just a mere set of numbers, but a strategic tool that helps you understand the financial health of your business, make informed decisions, and communicate your business’ financial viability to potential investors, lenders, and other stakeholders. In this article, we will delve into the importance of the financial model in your business plan.

  • Provides a roadmap for financial success : A well-structured financial model serves as a roadmap for your business’ financial success. It outlines your revenue streams, cost structure, and cash flow projections, helping you understand the financial implications of your business strategies and decisions. It allows you to forecast your future financial performance, set financial goals, and measure your progress over time. A comprehensive financial model helps you identify potential risks, opportunities, and areas that may require adjustments to achieve your financial objectives.
  • Demonstrates financial viability to stakeholders : Investors, lenders, and other stakeholders want to see that your business is financially viable and has a plan to generate revenue, manage expenses, and generate profits. A robust financial model in your business plan demonstrates that you have a solid understanding of your business’ financials and have a plan to achieve profitability. It provides evidence of the market opportunity, pricing strategy, sales projections, and financial sustainability. A well-prepared financial model increases your credibility and instills confidence in your business among potential investors and lenders.
  • Helps with financial decision-making : Your financial model is a valuable tool for making informed financial decisions. It helps you analyze different scenarios, evaluate the financial impact of your decisions, and choose the best course of action for your business. For example, you can use your financial model to assess the feasibility of a new product launch, determine the optimal pricing strategy, or evaluate the impact of changing market conditions on your cash flow. A well-structured financial model helps you make data-driven decisions that are aligned with your business goals and financial objectives.
  • Assists in securing funding : If you are seeking funding from investors or lenders, a robust financial model is essential. It provides a clear picture of your business’ financials and shows how the funds will be used to generate revenue and profits. It includes projections for revenue, expenses, cash flow, and profitability, along with a breakdown of assumptions and methodology used. It also provides a realistic assessment of the risks and challenges associated with your business and outlines the strategies to mitigate them. A well-prepared financial model in your business plan can significantly increase your chances of securing funding as it demonstrates your business’ financial viability and growth potential.
  • Facilitates financial management and monitoring : A financial model is not just for external stakeholders; it is also a valuable tool for internal financial management and monitoring. It helps you track your actual financial performance against your projections, identify any deviations, and take corrective actions if needed. It provides a clear overview of your business’ cash flow, profitability, and financial health, allowing you to proactively manage your finances and make informed decisions to achieve your financial goals. A well-structured financial model helps you stay on top of your business’ financials and enables you to take timely actions to ensure your business’ financial success.
  • Enhances business valuation : If you are planning to sell your business or seek investors for an exit strategy, a robust financial model is crucial. It provides a solid foundation for business valuation as it outlines your historical financial performance, future projections, and the assumptions behind them. It helps potential buyers or investors understand the financial potential of your business and assess its value. A well-prepared financial model can significantly impact the valuation of your business, and a higher valuation can lead to better negotiation terms and higher returns on your investment.
  • Supports strategic planning : Your financial model is an integral part of your strategic planning process. It helps you align your financial goals with your overall business strategy and provides insights into the financial feasibility of your strategic initiatives. For example, if you are planning to expand your business, enter new markets, or invest in new technologies, your financial model can help you assess the financial impact of these initiatives, including the investment required, the expected return on investment, and the timeline for achieving profitability. It enables you to make informed decisions about the strategic direction of your business and ensures that your financial goals are aligned with your overall business objectives.
  • Enhances accountability and transparency : A robust financial model promotes accountability and transparency in your business. It provides a clear framework for setting financial targets, measuring performance, and holding yourself and your team accountable for achieving financial results. It helps you monitor your progress towards your financial goals and enables you to take corrective actions if needed. A well-structured financial model also enhances transparency by providing a clear overview of your business’ financials, assumptions, and methodologies used in your projections. It ensures that all stakeholders, including investors, lenders, employees, and partners, have a clear understanding of your business’ financial performance and prospects.

In conclusion, a well-prepared financial model is a crucial component of your business plan. It provides a roadmap for financial success, demonstrates financial viability to stakeholders, helps with financial decision-making, assists in securing funding, facilitates financial management and monitoring, enhances business valuation, supports strategic planning, and enhances accountability and transparency in your business. It is not just a set of numbers, but a strategic tool that helps you understand, analyze, and optimize your business’ financial performance. Investing time and effort in creating a comprehensive and robust financial model in your business plan is vital for the success of your business and can significantly increase your chances of achieving your financial goals.

Il modello di business plan in excel

In questa pagina ti spieghiamo come fare un business plan con excel in maniera completamente gratis e utilizzando il più possibile termini semplici e in italiano .

Se vuoi conoscere i termini tecnici in spagnolo puoi andare all’articolo “ Como hacer un plan de negocios en excel “

Illustreremo passo passo come trasformare gli elementi base del tuo progetto in un piano d’impresa economico e finanziario .

Per semplificare ulteriormente la comprensione di tutto il processo, utilizzeremo un esempio di business plan di un ristorante in fase di start-up e cioè fin dal momento della sua costituzione e dei primi investimenti.

L’obiettivo di questo lavoro è quello di arrivare, attraverso tutti i passaggi intermedi, alla costruzione del:

  • bilancio in formato CEE (quello che devono pubblicare le srl per intenderci);
  • rendiconto finanziario e cioè di tutti i flussi di denaro in entrata e in uscita.

Contenuti dell'articolo

I primi passi dell’esempio di business plan in excel: costituzione e investimenti

Per iniziare dobbiamo chiarire quando verrà costituita la società, l’importo del capitale sociale e quando verrà versato.

Per le srl è obbligatorio versare un quarto del capitale sociale al momento della costituzione ma la parte restante può essere versata successivamente senza limiti di tempo.

Può essere creata una semplice tabella di excel come quella che riportiamo a lato con l’indicazione delle date e degli importi del capitale sottoscritto e dei vari versamenti.

A seguire dovremo creare un foglio di excel dedicato all’indicazione di tutti gli investimenti che intendiamo realizzare e al calcolo delle quote di ammortamento.

Come si può vedere dalla tabella che riportiamo qui sotto, sarà necessario impostare un po’ di formule ma sarà sufficiente farlo per il primo bene strumentale e poi copiarle per le righe successive.

Lo schema deve contenere la descrizione e la tipologia di investimento effettuato, l’importo al netto dell’IVA, la data di acquisto e il coefficiente di ammortamento in modo da poter calcolare facilmento la quota per ognuno dei cinque anni.

Sulla base della data di acquisto verrà poi riportata l’uscita finanziaria nelle tabelle di cash flow che costruiremo più avanti.

esempio excel investimenti e calcolo ammortamenti

I mutui e il calcolo della rata con excel

A completamento di questo primo passo indicheremo l’importo dei finanziamenti e prestiti di cui avremo bisogno e che andremo a chiedere alla banca.

Sulla base di tutta una serie di dati (importo, data accensione, durata, tasso, periodicità) potremo calcolare l’importo della rata e degli interessi passivi.

Possiamo prendere i dati anche dal piano di ammortamento che è possibile calcolare online oppure da quello che ci fornirà la banca.

È meglio se impostiamo la tabelle con le formule di excel per il calcolo delle rate in modo da poter gestire tutto automaticamente se decideremo di cambiare l’importo del mutuo da chiedere o se vogliamo fare delle simulazioni.

Modello business plan in excel dell’attività caratteristica dell’impresa

La definizione dei prodotti e dei prezzi di vendita.

Questa è la fase più importante della costruzione del business plan in quanto ci permetterà di calcolare i costi fissi e variabili complessivi, i fatturati e i flussi di cassa dell’attività caratteristica.

Come prima cosa individueremo i prodotti e servizi oggetto dell’attività ed i relativi prezzi di vendita per ognuno dei cinque anni qualora prevedessimo una loro variazione nel tempo.

Questa tabella conterrà solo i dati da noi immessi, senza effettuare alcun calcolo, ma verranno utilizzati successivamente per il calcolo dei ricavi di ogni articolo e per ogni mese dei cinque anni che prenderemo in esame.

elenco prodotti e servizi e prezzi di vendita

Gli schemi per i costi variabili di acquisto

Dopo aver definito i prezzi di vendita o le tariffe dei servizi erogati dall’impresa, passiamo alla parte relativa ai costi.

L’ideale è creare due tabelle differenti: una per i costi di acquisto degli articoli esclusivamente commercializzati e una per i costi variabili di produzione.

La seconda la vedremo successivamente e sarà un po’ più articolata in quanto andremo a costruire il costo di produzione di ogni prodotto o servizio.

Di seguito vediamo come impostare la tabella dei costi di acquisto, sempre con lo stesso formato di quella dei prezzi di vendita e con l’intestazione che prende automaticamente i nomi dei prodotti dalla prima tabella.

modello di schema dei costi di acquisto

La tabella dei costi per provvigioni e commissioni di vendita

Se l’attività lo richiede, possiamo creare anche una tabella nella quale indicare la percentuale di provvigioni pagate alla rete vendita e/o le commissioni per l’incasso tramite carta di credito, paypal o altri intermediari finanziari.

Sulla base di tali percentuali poi calcoleremo i costi sostenuti per le provvigioni di vendita in percentuale rispetto ai fatturati conseguiti.

modello business plan excel provvigioni

Abbiamo costruito un modello per il calcolo dei costi variabili relativi ai beni che vengono prodotti o ai servizi che vengono erogati.

I costi variabili per le prestazioni di servizi

Anche per i servizi possono essere sostenuti dei costi variabili come ad esempio l’intervento di un free-lance per servizi di grafica o servizi web.

Il caso più classico è sempre quello della produzione di un bene come, ad esempio, un piatto di pasta che richiederà l’utilizzo di 100 gr. di pasta, 50 gr di condimento e 5 cc di olio.

Vediamo la tabella di excel che abbiamo costruito e che, oltre alla solita intestazione che prende i dati dalla prima tabella, riporterà l’elenco di tutti i componenti di costo variabile utilizzati dall’impresa.

Nella colonna di sinistra indicheremo tutti i componenti di costo variabile e cioè le materie prime, i semilavorati, le lavorazioni esterne, la mano d’opera variabile e le spese di trasporto direttamente afferenti alla realizzzione dell’unità di prodotto o servizio.

Per ogni componente indicheremo la tipologi e il prezzo unitario dell’unità di misura che abbiamo scelto per ogni componente, ad esempio il grammo, il litro, il kilo o un’unità di tempo come ora o giornata.

Termineremo poi la compilazione della tabella indicando, per ogni prodotto, le quantità di ogni componente utilizzate per produrlo.

esempio business plan excel calcolo costi variabili

Business plan template in excel per il calcolo dei volumi di vendita

Le tabelle per indicare i volumi di vendita e le rimanenze.

Per il calcolo dei volumi di vendita abbiamo realizzato cinque templates in excel , uno per ogni anno, nei quali inserire i volumi di vendita mensili per ognuno dei nostri prodotti.

Se creiamo una riga nella quale riportare i volumi di produzione (che calcoleremo tra poco), potremo anche calcolare le rimanenze di ogni prodotto a fine anno e, moltiplicandole con i costi di acquisto o di produzione, otterremo il valore delle rimanenze finali per ogni anno.

L’obiettivo è sempre quello di realizzare una struttura che poi ci permetta di apportare qualunque modifica rapidamente e con il conseguente aggiornamento in tempo reale di tutti i dati.

Questa è una delle caratteristiche di excel e che dobbiamo cercare di sfruttare a pieno.

La tavola di excel dei volumi di vendita apparirà come nella figura riportata di seguito:

  • Intestazioni con i nomi dei prodotti riportati automaticamente;
  • colonna di sinistra con il nome dei mesi ed indicazione dell’anno;
  • una matrice nella quale verranno indicati, manualmente o in automatico, i volumi di vendita previsti per ogni prodotto e per ogni mese .

business plan template volumi di vendita

Come calcolare rapidamente e in modo intelligente i volumi di vendita

Come dicevamo in precedenza, sarebbe utile creare una tabella per il calcolo automatico dei volumi , in modo da ottenerli secondo una logica evitando di inserire dati a caso o senza un criterio univoco.

Noi abbiamo creato un template in excel , che riportiamo di seguito, che si basa su informazioni quali il numero di:

  • giorni di apertura;
  • pasti giornalieri (colazione, pranzo e cena sarebbe tre, ad esempio);
  • turni medi che riusciamo a gestire per ogni tavolo durante ogni tipologia di pasto;

Sulla base di tali dati possiamo già ottenere il numero di coperti potenziali a disposizione per ogni mese e, indicandoo la percentuale di riempimento prevista, otterremo il numero di coperti effettivi per ogni mese.

Ovviamente per ogni differente attività potrà essere creata una tabella per il calcolo dei volumi di produzione basata sulle peculiarità di ogni tipo di impresa.

Per concludere, abbiamo indicato la percentuali di clienti che ordinerà ogni portata o bevanda prevista.

Ovviamente ogni cliente ordinerà due, tre o quattro cose e quindi la somma di tutte le percentuali indicate dovrà per forza essere superiore al 100%.

Nella tabella dei volumi di vendita che abbiamo visto prima, riporteremo la formula che moltiplica il totale dei coperti per la percentuale indicata e otterremo il numero di vendite mensili di ogni portata, dolce o bevanda.

Così è come abbiamo impostato il nostro template:

template excel calcolo volumi di vendita

Un template per indicare i volumi di produzione

Sulla base dei volumi di vendita calcoleremo anche i volumi di acquisto e si produzione che, ovviamente, dovranno tener conto delle capacità produttive, logistiche e finanziarie dell’impresa.

In funzione dei macchinari e dei mezzi di produzione installati, l’azienda avrà una capacità produttiva limitata entro un determinato numero di unità.

Lo stesso ragionamento andrà fatto per la logistica in quanto, anche in caso di attività commerciale, i magazzini potranno contenere solo una determinata quantità di beni, prodotti o materie prime.

Anche la capacità di assemblaggio o produzione sarà limitata in funzione del personale dipendente e degli spazi disponibili per svolgere le varie operazioni.

Infine avremo il limite imposto dalle risorse finanziarie disponibili che ci consentiranno l’acquisto di determinate quantità di materie prime o di merci e l’assunzione di un numero limitato di dipendenti.

Tenendo conto di tutti questi fattori ma anche del piano di marketing e quindi della capacità di vendita e distribuzione, dovremo determinare le quantità prodotte o acquistate ed inserirle in un template di excel impostato come quello che mostriamo ora:

template volumi di produzione con excel

Il calcolo di costi, ricavi e il bilancio in Excel

Sulla base dei dai inseriti fino ad ora andremo a calcolare il totale dei costi fissi, dei costi variabili e dei ricavi.

Andremo poi a costruire il bilancio CEE composto da stato patrimoniale e conto economico e il rendiconto finanziario .

Come calcolare il totale dei ricavi o fatturato delle vendite

Come primo passo calcoliamo il fatturato creando uno schema dove, per ogni prodotto e servizio, calcoleremo i ricavi per ogni mese e per ogni anno.

Una volta create le 5 tabelle contenenti i fatturati ne creeremo una riassuntiva con il fatturato mensile e annuale di tutti e cinque gli anni.

Le tabelle dovranno essere impostate come segue e le formule da inserire dovranno essere semplicemente il prodotto dei prezzi di vendita per i volumi di vendita.

Questa tabella sarà ancora più semplice della precedente da calcolare e sarà sufficiente riportare la somma dei fatturati mensili per ogni anno.

Otterremo così il template che riportiamo qui di seguito dove saranno indicati i ricavi mese per mese e anche il fatturato complessivo per ognuno dei 5 anni presi in esame.

Vi ricordiamo di collegare sia le intestazioni dell’anno che quelle dei mesi alla prima tabella in cui compaiono.

Così, se volete cambiare anno oppure la lingua di indicazione dei mesi, sarà possibile farlo cambiandoli solo nella prima tabella.

Ecco di seguito il template di excel da utilizzare per il calcolo dei ricavi complessivi:

template calcolo ricavi analitici del ristorante

Il calcolo dei costi variabili

Così come abbiamo fatto per i ricavi, lo faremo anche per i costi variabili di produzione e di acquisto, moltiplicando i volumi di acquisto e produzione per il prezzo di acquisto o per il costo di produzione.

Excel permette di fare tutto ciò in modo relativamente semplice e veloce.

Sarà sufficiente calcolare la prima formula e poi ricopiarla per i dodici mesi e, infine, ricopiare l’intera colonna a destra per i cinque anni.

Terremo sempre i mesi nella colonna di sinistra e gli anni o i prodotti nella riga in alto della tabella.

Ecco un esempio del modello di calcolo dei costi variabili analitico e complessivo:

business plan semplice excel

Il calcolo dei costi per le provvigioni di vendita

Se vi ricordate, all’inizio abbiamo indicato la percentuale di commissioni o provvigioni di vendita.

Bene, se paghiamo commissioni per l’incasso tramite carta di credito oppure provvigioni ad esercizi convenzionati o strutture che ci mandano i clienti, ora potremo calcolarne facilmente l’importo.

Partendo dai ricavi conseguiti mese per mese, dovremo semplicemente moltiplicarli per le percentuali indicate precedentemente.

È importante che lo schema di excel sia strutturato sempre come i precedenti in modo che risulti facile impostare e ricopiare le formule.

Avremo sempre la lista dei proddotti in alto e dei mesi a sinistra.

Impostiamo la prima formula data dai ricavi per la % prevista e otterremo il costo mensile per provvigioni.

Poi dobbiamo ricopiare la formula verso il basso e, a seguire, l’intera colonna verso destra e otterremo una tabella con i costi mese per mese e prodotto per prodotto relativa al primo anno.

Faremo poi la stessa cosa per tutti e cinque gli anni ottenendo la tabella seguente:

calcolo commissioni e provvigioni di vendita

Il calcolo dei costi fissi con una tabella di excel

Per ottenere i costi fissi non dovremo far riferimento ai volumi di vendita o di produzione ma sarà molto più semplice.

Dovremo solamente creare una tabella con indicate tutte le tipologie di costi fissi suddivise in personale, servizi, godimento beni di terzi e altri oneri di gestione.

Talee suddivisione ci sarà poi utile nella costruzione del bilancio CEE.

Nell’intestazione lungo la prima riga in alto, indicheremo invece i mesi da gennaio a dicembre per tutti e cinque anni consecutivamente.

Andremo poi a indicare, mese per mese, l’importo di ogni tipologia di costo fisso che, se si ripeterà uguale per tutto l’anno, potremo semplicemente ricopiare verso destra.

Vediamo di seguito un pezzo della tabella che andremo a costruire. Non è possibile visualizzarla tutta per ragioni di spazio.

tabella excel costi fissi

Costruiremo poi una tabella riassuntiva nella quale indicare, per ogni tipologia di costo, il totale annuo.

Realizziamo anche una tabella con i flussi di cassa in uscita derivanti dai costi fissi che andremo poi a collegare con quelle realizzate per le entrate, per gli investimenti e per i costi variabili.

schema riassuntivo costi fissi

Ecco come costruire stato patrimoniale e conto economico con Excel

Ora che abbiamo ottenuto tutti i dati dei quali avevamo bisogno e cioè:

  • ammortamenti relativi ai beni strumentali e flussi di cassa in uscita per il loro acquisto;
  • entrate relative ai mutui accesi e calcolo delle rate e interessi passivi;
  • ricavi derivanti dalle vendite e relativi flussi di cassa in entrata;
  • costi variabili per l’acquisto delle merci e per le materie prime e relativo cash flow in uscita;
  • spese per commissioni e provvigioni di vendita;
  • costi fissi per il personale, per i servizi, per il godimento di beni di terzi e eper gli altri oneri di gestione;
  • flussi di cassa in uscita relativi ai costi fissi,

potremo ora iniziare a costruire il bilancio CEE utilizzando excel, composto dal conto economico e dallo stato patrimoniale.

Per la costruzione del bilancio voce per voce realizzeremo un’altra guida specifica perhcè si tratta di un argomento lungo e avolte anche un po’ complesso.

Per chi non ha voglia di aspettare o di impiegare troppo tempo per costruirselo da solo, diamo la possibilità di scaricare un business plan in excel già fatto e costruito da noi.

E per terminare la costruzione del business plan in excel, riportiamo lo schema di conto economico e di stato patrimoniale che abbiamo realizzato e che potrete anche voi provare a costruire utilizzando i dati fino ad ora ottenuti:

Understand Formulas and Functions

Excel templates often come with built-in formulas and functions to automate calculations. To use these templates effectively, it’s crucial to understand how these formulas work.

  • Learn the Basics: Familiarize yourself with common Excel functions like SUM, AVERAGE, IF, VLOOKUP, and more. These are the building blocks of many templates.
  • Review Formulas: Take time to review the formulas used in the template. Understand how they calculate results and what data they depend on.
  • Customize Formulas: If needed, customize formulas to suit your specific requirements. Modify cell references or add new calculations as necessary.

Input Data Accurately

Accurate data input is essential to obtain meaningful results from Excel spreadsheet templates.

  • Double-Check Data: Ensure all data entered into the template is accurate and error-free. A slight mistake can lead to significant inaccuracies in calculations.
  • Use Data Validation: Implement data validation rules to prevent incorrect data entry. Excel can prompt users when data doesn’t meet specified criteria.
  • Consistent Formatting: Maintain consistent formatting throughout the template. This includes date formats, number formats, and currency symbols.
  • Document Data Sources: Keep track of your data sources, especially if you’re pulling data from external sources. This documentation can help troubleshoot discrepancies later.

Regularly Save and Backup

Excel templates represent valuable work, so protecting your data is essential.

  • Frequent Saving: Save your work regularly to prevent data loss in case of unexpected software crashes or power outages.
  • Version Control: Maintain version control by saving different iterations of your template. Use meaningful file names and dates to track changes.
  • Backup Files: Implement a backup strategy. Regularly create copies of your Excel files and store them in a secure location, whether it’s a cloud service or an external drive.

Understand Template Limitations

Excel spreadsheet templates have limitations, and it’s essential to be aware of them.

  • Data Volume: Excel may not handle very large datasets efficiently. Consider using a database or specialized software for extensive data management.
  • Complexity: Templates have limits in terms of complexity. You might need to consider custom software or consulting with a specialist for more advanced or intricate tasks.
  • Data Security: Be cautious when handling sensitive or confidential data within Excel. Implement password protection and encryption where necessary.

Customize for Your Needs

While templates provide a structured starting point, don’t hesitate to customize them to better suit your unique requirements.

  • Add or Remove Fields: Include additional or remove unnecessary fields to streamline data entry and reporting.
  • Format and Styling: Adjust the template’s formatting and styling to match your preferences and branding guidelines.
  • Automate Repetitive Tasks: Excel allows you to automate repetitive tasks using macros. Learn how to create and use macros to save time.

Stay Updated and Educated

Excel is a continually evolving software, and staying updated with the latest features and best practices can benefit your productivity.

  • Software Updates: Keep your Excel software up-to-date to access new features and security patches.
  • Online Resources: Explore online resources, spreadsheet tutorials , and forums to expand your Excel skills and troubleshoot issues.
  • Advanced Training: Consider advanced Excel training courses or certifications to become an Excel power user.

By following these best practices, you can harness the full potential of Excel spreadsheet templates, streamline your tasks, and make more informed decisions. Excel templates are versatile tools that can save you time and effort, but mastering them requires a combination of knowledge, practice, and attention to detail.

Tips for Creating a Business Plan

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed at the thought of putting together a business plan. Below, you’ll find top tips to help simplify the process as you develop your own plan. 

  • Use a business plan template (you can choose from the variety above), or refer to the previous section to create a standard outline for your plan.
  • Modify your outline to reflect the requirements of your specific business. If you use a standard business plan outline, remove sections that aren’t relevant to you or aren’t necessary to run your business.
  • Gather all the information you currently have about your business first, and then use that information to fill out each section in your plan outline.
  • Use your resources and conduct additional research to fill in the remaining gaps. (Note: It isn’t necessary to fill out your plan in order, but the executive summary needs to be completed last, as it summarizes the key points in your plan.)
  • Ensure your plan clearly communicates the relationship between your marketing, sales, and financial objectives.
  • Provide details in your plan that illustrate your strategic plan of action, looking forward three to five years.
  • Revisit your plan regularly as strategies and objectives evolve.
  • What product or service are we offering?
  • Who is the product or service for?
  • What problem does our product or service offering solve?
  • How will we get the product or service to our target customers?
  • Why is our product or service better than the alternatives?
  • How can we outperform our competitors?
  • What is our unique value proposition?
  • When will things get done, and who is responsible for doing them?
  • If you need to obtain funding, how will you use the funding?
  • When are payments due, and when do payments come in?
  • What is the ultimate purpose of your business?
  • When do you expect to be profitable?

Benefits of Using a Business Plan Template

Creating a business plan can be very time-consuming, especially if you aren’t sure where to begin. Finding the right template for your business needs can be beneficial for a variety of reasons. 

Using a business plan template — instead of creating your plan from scratch — can benefit you in the following ways:

  • Enables you to immediately write down your thoughts and ideas in an organized manner
  • Provides structure to help outline your plan
  • Saves time and valuable resources
  • Helps ensure you don’t miss essential details

Limitations of a Business Plan Template

A business plan template can be convenient, but it has its drawbacks — especially if you use a template that doesn’t fit the specific needs of your business.

Below are some limitations of using a business plan template:

  • Each business is unique and needs a business plan that reflects that. A template may not fit your needs.
  • A template may restrict collaboration with other team members on different aspects of the plan’s development (sales, marketing, and accounting teams).
  • Multiple files containing different versions of the plan may be stored in more than one place.
  • You still have to manually create charts and graphs to add to the plan to support your strategy.
  • Updates to the plan, spreadsheets, and supporting documents have to be made in multiple places (all documents may not update in real time as changes are made).
