Ask HN: How do you create a small development shop business plan?

1 pointsby mrbluesalmost 13 years ago
I'm in the process of creating a simple business plan, well actually it's more like an spreadsheet of what to expect.<p>How much income will we generate? how much time we will dedicate to finding project vs actual work vs training? How much will we pay employees and so on...<p>Did you write one for your freelancing company? Can you recommend any useful information or template?<p>any additional tip is welcome.<p>thanks!

Productize your services.<p>Have standard website packages, or monthly retainer packages, or prepaid hour packages, or a strict control on how many hours you bill a month.<p>Now that you've packaged them up into units, you can compare it to your burn rate, and see how many of those units you need to sell per month.<p>The smaller the unit, the harder life is gonna be. My advice: Skip the hassle and go make a scalable product :)
