Open your awards & engraving business with a complete, lender-ready 7-section business plan—Executive Summary, Products & Services, Market Analysis, Operations, Sales & Marketing, Management, and a 36-month Financial Forecast. It’s written in clear lender language so reviewers can follow the story and the numbers.
Delivered instantly in Word and PDF, the template includes realistic production calendars, QA checkpoints, and a defendable model you can tailor in minutes—price tiers, equipment set (CO2/fiber/rotary), staffing, and seasonality. Export a polished PDF for banks, grants, and B2B buyers.
Result: faster approvals, confident pitches, and repeat revenue from schools, leagues, and corporate recognition programs.
SBA-aligned trophy & engraving plan with a 36-month financial model and step-by-step operations—so you can secure funding, win B2B accounts, and launch faster.
Each section reads like a conversation with a lender or B2B buyer—specific, credible, and easy to follow.
1) Executive Summary. Clear offer, target customers, funding ask & use-of-funds, early milestones, and how seasonality affects cash. Tone: confident and professional.
2) Products & Services. Trophies, plaques, medals & ribbons, engraving-only, gift bundles. Price-tier examples and accessory upsells that lift AOV.
3) Market Analysis. Schools/leagues, corporate recognition, events/promotions. Local competitor scan, demand cycles, and positioning on turnaround and customization depth.
4) Operations. Intake → art/layout proof → batch scheduling → CO2/fiber/rotary machine time → finishing → QA → boxing/pickup/ship. Cycle-time targets, rework buffer, and red-tag QA.
5) Sales & Marketing. District outreach, league renewals, HR buyer bundles, reviews & local SEO cadence, referral offers. Calendarized activities for repeat revenue.
6) Management. Owner role, engravers/finishers, seasonal helpers, vendor relationships, KPIs, and cross-training for peak weeks.
7) Financial Forecast (36-Month). Startup kit, machine set, labor & materials, price tiers. Breakeven, contribution by line, DSCR context, and lender-ready PDF export.
Build tiers by line (medals, plaques, cups, engraving-only). Include labor, materials, machine time, finishing, packaging, and a small rework buffer. Breakeven improves when you batch similar jobs, hold cutoff times, and fill the calendar with recurring B2B accounts. The model shows contribution by line so you can lean into what pays best each season.
Note: Requirements vary by state/county—confirm locally.
Trophy retailers often map to “All Other Miscellaneous Retailers,” while many engraving shops align with “Metal Coating, Engraving, and Allied Activities.” Using NAICS labels helps lenders place your business and compare benchmarks. The fastest path to stability is an annual calendar of district, league, and corporate accounts layered over seasonal peaks.
