4 · QUESTIONS THAT CHANGE THE PLAN

2. How many clients per day must you service to cover the van payment, insurance, and fuel, and is that volume achievable in Rutland County?
3. What is your current customer acquisition cost, and what is your projected cost to acquire the volume needed for break-even?
4. Do you have a written business continuity plan for vehicle breakdowns or catastrophic supply shortages?
5. What is your personal credit score and personal financial injection amount available for startup costs?
6. Have you secured a specific commercial insurance policy for mobile equipment and liability, or are you quoting based on estimates?
7. What is your projected monthly burn rate during the first six months before reaching sustainable revenue?
8. How will you handle health department regulations and zoning laws specific to mobile food/service operations in Vermont?
9. What is your current monthly operating debt, and how long can you personally sustain payments without business revenue?
10. Have you conducted a competitive analysis on existing groomers in Rutland, and what is your unique value proposition to steal market share?

5 · THE PLAN

Not written yet — and that is deliberate

The research above found the name, the entity status and the local picture. The plan itself is written from your answers to the questions above, because a plan written before anyone answers is a plan full of guesses — and lenders catch that faster now than they did before AI writers existed.

Answer the questions, hand them back, and the plan is generated from them with your numbers tagged [ASKED] instead of [UNKNOWN].
