What goes into a business plan for a small online shop?
Who you sell to, what you sell, how orders come in, how parcels are delivered and paid for, what one order earns, and the money you need to start. A short plan with real numbers is more useful than a long one with guesses.
How is the profit per order worked out?
For a delivered parcel it is the price plus the delivery you charge, minus product cost, packaging and the courier charge. A returned parcel costs you packaging, the courier charge and any extra return cost. The average blends the two using the share of parcels you expect to come back.
What should I enter for parcels that come back?
Use your own count if you have sold before. If you have not, many shops on cash on delivery see somewhere between 10 and 30 in every 100 come back. Try your number and a higher one, and see if the plan still works.
Can I show this plan to a bank or a family member?
Yes. It prints on one A4 page, and you can save it as a PDF from the print window. The figures are your own estimates, and the page says so. A bank may ask for more, such as a bank statement or CNIC, which this page does not replace.
Does the tool save my plan?
Your answers are kept on this device only, so the plan is still here when you come back on the same phone or computer. Nothing is sent to us. Clear your browser data and it is gone, so save the PDF.
