Winning Retail Business Plans Released

Retail Institute Releases Winning Retail Business Plans

Create a Winning Retail Business Plan in one day and get the financing you need.

Toronto, Canada, November 26, 2008 -- The revised 2009 edition of Winning Retail Business Plans is now available at a discounted promotional price. This business plan system will give any aspiring retailer the tools to get their concept on paper and create a professional Winning Retail Business Plan.

"There are scores of entrepreneurs out there who have great retail concepts but are not sure of how to get to the next level" stated Ron Pawlowski, Managing Partner at The Retail Institute.

Creating a written business plan with financial objectives and projections is essential if a retail concept needs to be shared with any stakeholder. These can include potential partners, employees, suppliers and most essential, investors. The package is designed so that any aspiring retailer can create a Winning Retail Business Plan with all the financials and present the plan to conventional and non conventional investors. "Entrepreneurs can consider presenting their plan to local banks as well as a wide array of other financing sources that they may not even be aware of. In the long run, many of these unconventional sources are better for the entrepreneur." added Pawlowski. The revised package comes with a 111 page manual, retail business plan template as well as spreadsheets for personal financial statements, cash flow projections, cash sensitivity projections and a trial balance sheet. The Winning Retail Business Plans package is also ideal for existing retailers who wish to expand or obtain secondary financing.
