Hi, need to submit a 10000 words essay on the topic Business plan to develop a small business.

Alroy has established a revenue increase expectation of 30 percent by 2015, along with test market entry into a single foreign market. This will test Alroy’s capacity and know-how for foreign market expansion through which the company will learn more effective B2B relationship development, how to structure and control costs of distribution, and also develop alliance strategies in foreign markets with disparate and unique customer profiles and needs. This business plan highlights all of the strategic steps in areas of marketing, market analyses, financial analyses, managerial philosophy, and operations that will be critical to establishing a positive competitive position domestically and internationally. Based on forecasted revenue streams and market availability, it is estimated that the company will achieve a positive cash flow of over ?300,000 on the heels of 2014 revenues of ?1.5 million. By 2017, it is estimated that Alroy will achieve revenues of ?2.25 million and net earnings of ?1.8 million as a result of improved cost controls and overhead cost reductions over a 4 year operating period, hence making this a new model with significant return on investment.
