Sections of Your Transitional House Business Plan

However, since it is not an easy task, we will detail all the sections and write what is supposed to be written in its various sections here.

1. Executive Summary

Although kept at the beginning of your business plan, writing it at the end is still advisable, for it should draw its content from all the other sections. A good executive summary gives an engaging introduction and a comprehensive account of your business. Ideally, it should give the following details in addition to introducing your company:

• Purpose of your business plan
• Your mission and vision statement

The summary should focus on your objective, whether you are eyeing company development or targeting program development. The identification of an objective is key to business success.

2. Market Analysis

This is the part of your business plan where you identify the market gap and ascertain how there is a need for your business. Since you are dealing in the addiction industry, you will be targeting statistics such as addiction rates and the dearth of sober living facilities. Furthermore, the need for your services in the locality you choose can be included after proper market research and feasibility analysis.
