Allow two-three pages to cover managerial and administrative matters within this section.

Note: Free-Plan, a 150-page Word-based template based on this business plan guide, can be downloaded for free here.

10.1. Management

Introduce the management team and their roles. Include short profiles but relegate the details to an Appendix.

Use a simple organization chart to illustrate the managerial structure. If significant changes are planned, show a further post-change chart.

Indicate any gaps in the management team and explain measures to recruit. If necessary, present job specs in an Appendix.

Summarize management remuneration and forecast these costs.

Introduce the board of directors (and any sub-committees) and profile non-executive directors (existing/proposed). Place significant details in an Appendix. Outline the board's role in the management of the business.

10.2. Administration

Indicate locations and facilities, and outline the key administrative functions.

Describe key operational, communications and IT, accounting and related management systems.

Indicate the main components of overhead costs and present 'high-level' projections (if not already covered in the 9. Operational/Manufacturing Plans).

Charts can be much easier to follow than tables.

If appropriate, use a simple table to show the projected annual build-up of management and administrative staff.

The Exl-Plan range of Excel-based financial planners can be used to generate detailed projections for costs, expenses, headcounts etc. as part of the process of developing fully-integrated financial projections (income statements, cashflows, balance sheets etc.) for up to seven years ahead. The table and chart above were generated using Exl-Plan and pasted directly from its Textual Summary Report.
