4.1 Economic Outlook

This section of the analysis will detail the economic climate, the banquet hall industry, the customer profile, and the competition that the business will face as it progresses through its business operations. Currently, the economic market condition in the United States is moderate. The meltdown of the sub prime mortgage market coupled with increasing gas prices has led many people to believe that the US is on the cusp of a double dip economic recession. This slowdown in the economy has also greatly impacted real estate sales, which has halted to historical lows. This may impact the Banquet Hall’s revenues as people will host less luxurious or fewer events.

4.2 Industry Analysis

The leasing of banquet halls in the United States is an extremely large business. The US Economic Census indicates that there are approximately 5,000 companies that specialize in the rental of banquet halls and event locations. Each year, these businesses aggregately generate more than $5 billion dollars a year of revenue and provide jobs for more than 40,000 people. The growth of this industry has remained in lockstep with the growth of the economy in general. The number of facilities operating within this industry has increased 15% over last five years while gross receipts have increased almost two fold.

Management has outlined several demographics among its target client market, including: • Has an annual household income of $50,000 or more. • Is seeking to spend approximately $20,000 on their wedding or event • Wants privacy within a venue (i.e. one event hosted per day) • Needs an event or wedding planner

4.4 Competitive Analysis

This is one of the sections of the business plan that you must write completely on your own. The key to writing a strong competitive analysis is that you do your research on the local competition. Find out who your competitors are by searching online directories and searching in your local Yellow Pages. If there are a number of competitors in the same industry (meaning that it is not feasible to describe each one) then showcase the number of businesses that compete with you, and why your business will provide customers with service/products that are of better quality or less expensive than your competition.

The Banquet Hall intends to maintain an extensive marketing campaign that will ensure maximum visibility for the business in its targeted market. Below is an overview of the marketing strategies and objectives of the Banquet Hall.

• Develop relationships with local businesses for their event planning and corporate event needs.

• Establish connections with local event and wedding planners.

• Develop an online presence by developing a website and placing the Company’s name and contact information with online directories.

5.2 Marketing Strategies

Banquet Hall, Inc. will promote the business through a number of traditional marketing and advertising channels. The foremost marketing strategy that the business will use, will be to develop connections with local event and wedding planners so that the business can continually book events through these planners. This will greatly decrease the amount of advertising required by the business as once a rapport is established with these vendors, they will continually refer business to the Company. Banquet Hall will also maintain a strong level of print and media advertising among local newspapers, event planning publications, and other news medium. The business will also maintain listings in the local Yellow Books. The facility will also maintain a website that has a virtual tour of the facility in addition to standard contact information and booking resources.

7.1 Underlying Assumptions

• The Banquet Hall will have an annual revenue growth rate of 16% per year • The Owner will acquire $500,000 of debt funds to develop the business. • The loan will have a 10 year term with a 9% interest rate.

7.2 Sensitivity Analysis

In the event of an economic downturn, the business may have a decline in its revenues. Banquet Hall is offering a reasonably priced venue for wedding and banquet events. However, in the event of a steep economic decline, Management expects that its revenue will decrease as people host events at alternative, less expensive venues. In the event of a decline in revenues, the business will be able to maintain profitability (after debt service is paid) because the business generates significantly high gross margins from the rental of its facility.
