Two Major Tests to be Conducted every time a New Business Idea is Created
1. Test of Possibility
2. Test of Feasibility
The test of possibility on the new business should have a positive result, so that
the test of feasibility or viability will be conducted.
The content and structure of the business plan are almost the same as those
of the feasibility study. The data shown in the feasibility study are the same set of data
presented or used in the business plan. Nonetheless, the business plan presents a
more detailed discussion of how the business will be undertaken and operated.

Introduction
In case the consulting team prepares the business plan for prospective owners
or investors, the section Statement of Confidentiality is added as the last section.
The formulation and drafting of the proposed business name is not as simple as it
sounds. It is a delicate and important entrepreneurial task. Remember that the name
of the business may exist in the market for the many years. Careful and in-depth
planning is of prime importance.
11 | P a g e
Address of the Business
It is important that the address of the Business is correctly written because all
business correspondence is mailed to the business address. Raw materials and other
manufacturing supplies are also shipped by the seller to the designated business
address.
Nowadays, it is also necessary for the business to have an e-mail address to facilitate
electronic communication between the business and the customers, suppliers,
creditors, and other significant parties.
The name of the owner must be properly stated. In a sole proprietorship, there is only
one owner. In case the venture is a partnership, the names of the partners, including
the extent of their liabilities, must be indicated. For example, if a partner’s must be
properly mentioned.
For business ventures that will operate as a corporate entity, the names, nationalities,
and addresses of the incorporators must be given. Incorporators are persons who
originally formed the corporation.
A brief description of the business must include information about the type of
product or service that the business intends to produce or provide. It may include a
brief information about the ultimate mission, vision, and objectives of the business.
The other products or services that the business plans to produce or provide must also
be mentioned in the description of the business.
12 | P a g e
Location of the Business
There are no rigid rules in the selection of the business location since several
variables affect the selection of the business location . The basic entrepreneurial
consideration is to place the proposed business in a strategic location that will assure
competitive advantage.
What is the difference between the sections Address of the Business and Location
of the Business?
The former simply states the exact business address. No additional description is
provided to highlight the exact business address. The latter indicates the reason/s for
the selection of the location. In case the processing plant is not within the vicinity of
the business, its exact location must be described.
The following factors should be considered when deciding on the location of the
proposed business:
The estimated total initial cost of the business venture must be clearly indicated. It
should include the projected breakdown or allocation of the total cost, e.g., how much
will b for building, fixtures, equipment, supplies, and working capital. This section also
presents the source or sources of funds. The initial cost of the investment may be
provided solely by the owner or owners or partly by the owner and creditors. The
estimated period to settle the funding source provided by the creditors must also be
mentioned.
