[Closed] Business plan writing- for an Events Organiser.

I have often found that a business plan is the greatest work of fiction a man can write

I can sympathise with that. But when it's my son's future I do get a bit involved.

I have advised him to watch some Dragon's Den episodes, plus some Kitchen Nightmares.

Depends on the purpose/target etc ? How long does it have to be, assume there is a word limit if it's for an assignment.

I would start by getting all the facts together. How many people, costs, potential income etc, all the known quantities.

Then draft a structure for the document, I assume the purpose is a feasibility study for an event ? So needs a conclusion at the end !

Google this [b]business plan for events management company[/b].

Plenty of info there.

I have emailed you a business planning guide I wrote which was mainly aimed at charities, but the key principles and structures apply in any sector.

Hope it will be useful - sorry don't know much about events management but assume he knows something about the industry.

I think it is more long term than just a single event but I may be wrong. I've just phoned him for an answer.

I have Headed up 3 worldwide events companies and worked in worldwide events for 20 years. Events organiser is a secretary ?Thats all, some one who liaises all the workers together and builds up a sense of self importance. So the plan should get that across in a jokey semi sarcastic fashion and then concentrate on the fact you/he will hire the best company's to deliver the end goal - do not stress too little that he/you understand the company's will do the work and therefore show you know you are a small but crucial cog in a large wheel ,but ultimately stress you will be on site at all stages to see the event a success - simples
