Introduction
Adorable Pet Photography (APP) is a sole proprietorship company that promises to capture memorable pet pictures for their clients. I have chosen APP from the Business Plan Pro software’s sample database to consider it for investment purposes. The following evaluation will explain my intent to invest in APP based on the overall writing of the business plan, feasibility of the plan, and the competencies needed by the entrepreneur to be successful.
Writing Evaluation Adorable Pet Photography’s business plan is overall well written. The entrepreneur has adequately portrayed the company’s goals, how he intends to meet those goals, qualifications, and assets. The plan is

The business plan states APP will be a part time business at first until it grows a large enough client base to fund a full time effort. It also claims that it will provide consistent quality products at a competitive price with an emphasis on customer satisfaction and flexible hours. Though there are many positive points to consider when assessing the feasibility of APP, there are a few concerns too. I would like more information on how APP plans to offer flexible hours to clients while at the part-time capacity. If the part-time schedule of APP is to accommodate another job or income source, I would like an explanation of how the two schedules will not interfere. Another concern to address is plans and funding for future equipment. The owner states that he owns all of his own equipment but photography technology changes quickly. Does he intend to keep up with the latest equipment to meet the expectations of his clients? Where will the funding for new equipment come from and how often does he plan to upgrade? Will he be replacing cameras and other hardware? What about photo editing software and the computers to run them on? Overall I find Adorable Pet Photography’s business plan and goals to be feasible. There are a few follow up questions and concerns, but a meeting with the owner should clear those up.
Conclusion
Adorable Pet Photography has done a good job with their business plan. It is
This is the type of business entity that the owner should adopt because it is the most common and since this is the owners first time he should choose this type of entity in my opinion.
After gaining enough knowledge on the types of business structure, business owners can proceed to the process so that their plans of owning a business will turn into reality. After reading several resources, the process will be divided into five stages. The first stage is the planning and research. This involves developing viable business ideas, knowing the target customers and possible competitors, searching for the right location, thinking what will be the business name, and marketing strategy. In this stage, a business plan should be made. Business Link (2016) refers, “business plan as a document that defines why you’re in business, your goals, and how to achieve those goals and it also covers all major aspects of the business, including
Moreover, the APP also has some of its own disadvantages. First of all, the use of the APP must depend on the network. That is, it must be used online and not out of the network. It is limited to the business of the enterprise in underdeveloped areas of the network and it is also a common defect of all kinds of APPs. This is limited to the expansion of the use areas of the APP. Because consumers cannot use the network or the cost of using the network is too high in some places, then they would give up using the APP.
My first overall impression of the presentation given by Cookie Creations is that they did an adequate job. Their business plan started out by providing a sound, brief executive summary which gave me the attractive information needed to delve deeper into the business plan. In all but a page and a half, they pitched their idea, stated how the startup was to be funded, specified their target market, and explained how they would seize and maintain an advantage over other competitors. The business plan then expanded on the necessary subjects, aiming to gain the trust of potential investors. They elaborated on their history, market, product and services, strategies, operations, employees, financial plan and development. As I tried to objectively focus on the quality of their presentation rather than the quality of their product, I initially thought this was a great business plan. However, I am inexperienced, and I am an amateur. So after my first read through, I reviewed the Unit 8 PowerPoint on blackboard and paid more attention to detail during my following assessments. The business plan did do plenty of things well as I had imagined, but there were also flaws in the design. I will now be using the PowerPoint as a reference while critiquing this business plan.

A business plan is a road map for a team or business and it can be used, as an eternal tool for potential customers and partners. The business plan should describe in details the entire business venture, technology behind it, the size of the target market, customers, competition, business model, team, financial needs and exit strategy. The business plan gives a company insight and allows them to think things through early enough in the process to ensure they have a well defined venture goals and objectives. It also gives the business direction to a clear path for the team to follow and implement on their venture.
Starting a new business is an exciting venture and has its unique mix of challenges and rewards. Many are set-up for failure if no clear goals or measures are established and adhered.

A well-constructed, written business plan will help owners remain focused on their operations, marketing and financial measures through the duration of the business life. In addition, knowing the risks involved in starting a business can help prevent and minimize mistakes that cause many
This is a sample business plan that I completed by myself for a Entrepreneur class in my Senior year of high school. Unlike most students, I was really excited to plan and organize my ideas so my plan ended up being much longer then expected. All the numbers I used were, for the most part, actual prices and I spend hours alone just number crunching. It was worth it in the end when I had my final copy! I apologize in advance for awkward spacing, numbering, and indents. Some things like pictures and flow charts were lost throughout the transfer from Word.
