What should be in your Business Plan Powerpoint?


  • Title slide--Business Name and Owners
  • Slogan and Logo--how did you decide on these?  What do they represent? Show images
  • Overview of the Business--How did you come up with the idea?  Was there a change of plan?
  • Business Concept:  Goals and Objectives.  Be specific. Was your goal to make $25 net profit?  Was it to donate $50 to a specific good cause?
  • Who was your Target Market?
  • Market Research-- how did it impact decisions? (1 form for 5/6 grades, 2 forms for 7/8)
  • Advertisement:  Show picture of advertisement.  Did you do a lunchtime announcement?  Where did you advertise? 
  • Start-up Costs? What were they?  Where did you get the money?  Show exact amounts based on receipts or calculations
  • Gross Profit and Net Profit.  Be specific.  What were your best sellers?
  • Cost of Goods per unit (show the math)
  • Profit Margin (show the math)
  • Contract/ Division of Labor
  • SWOT Analysis of your business (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats)
  • Where will you donate and why?
  • What You Learned and would do differently
Extra Notes:

PRACTICE SPEAKING AHEAD OF TIME.  DIVIDE THE SLIDES AMONG BUSINESS OWNERS.  WINNERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GOOD PRESENTERS.
  • Your presentation will last five minutes.  Practice ahead of time, or you may be cut off.
  • I don't care how many slides you use, but you need all this information in there.
  • You will be speaking through the presentation.  You can use "key words" on your slides instead of typing up paragraphs.  This makes it easier for the viewer.

POSTER RULES IN HALLWAYS!

  • Only two posters per hallway  
  • Mrs. Dokken said brick or walls are fine as long as they are NEATLY PLACED. 
  • USE STICKY TACK!  NO TAPE! If yours are up with tape, go pull them down and ask Mrs. Zuercher or me for some sticky tack 
  • No posters on lockers or in bathrooms
  • Remove posters immediately after your sale
