Introduction

OCR has produced a summary brochure, which summarises the changes to Business Studies. This can be found at www.ocr.org.uk, along with the specification.

In addition and in response to reforms announced by the Government and in response to Ofqual mandated changes to GCSEs, unitised assessment of this qualification is being replaced by linear assessment from September 2012. This means that candidates commencing a two year course from September 2012 will take all of their GCSE units at the end of the course in June 2014.

In order to help you plan effectively for the implementation of this specification we have produced these Schemes of Work and Sample Lesson Plans for Business Studies. These Support Materials are designed for guidance only and play a secondary role to the Specification.

OCR involves teachers in the development of new support materials to capture current teaching practices tailored to our new specifications. These support materials are designed to inspire teachers and facilitate different ideas and teaching practices.

Each Scheme of Work and set of sample Lesson Plans is provided in Word format – so that you can use it as a foundation to build upon and amend the content to suit your teaching style and students’ needs.

The Scheme of Work and sample Lesson Plans provide examples of how to teach this unit and the teaching hours are suggestions only. Some or all of it may be applicable to your teaching.

The Specification is the document on which assessment is based and specifies what content and skills need to be covered in delivering the course. At all times, therefore, this Support Material booklet should be read in conjunction with the Specification. If clarification on a particular point is sought then that clarification should be found in the Specification itself.

The second edition of the book entitled “ How to Start and Run a Commercial Art Gallery ” explained that you need to know what type of gallery that you will open and how well suited you are to run this kind of creative business. In making valuable decisions, you should always showcase your personal strengths and work to maintain your messaging and strategies consistent. 

2. Examine your target market

Another essential step in writing a business plan for your upcoming art gallery is research the type of art that is trending in your local market. There is an article published by Peerspace that suggests conducting a survey of what’s already available in your city. Let’s say you want your own photography art gallery. Meet with members of the photography community for assistance evaluating the market. This research will help you determine the size, scope, and vision of your art gallery. 

As you become knowledgeable with local galleries, think about the purpose of what your art gallery will bring to the area. Guess whether the type of art you adored in featuring will attract clientele. Creating a niche or something that truly distinguishes your art gallery in your local market will push you to have a stronger chance of success.

Sandra, a branding and business strategist of various modern entrepreneurs and owner of Conversion Minded gives advice from her article . She said that you should write your vision and mission statements for your brand. A vision statement is the long-term vision that you want your art gallery business to become while the mission statement explains how you will achieve your vision statement through certain materials, procedures, and resources. 

Where do you see your business in process? What difference will your art gallery make for your customers and for your own life? Visualize and work on your success. Then, the next step is adding a value proposition. She explained that it is a 30-second pitch of a message that gives people a reason to choose you over a competitor. There are many strong art galleries that are consistent and strategic with their visual identity. So think about how you want customers to feel about your art gallery. 

Reiterate the type of gallery that you documented at the start of your business plan. Detail the specific products you will be offering like prints and sculptures. Present the types of art you offer and their anticipated price ranges. Include the location of your art gallery and how the location will greatly benefit your success. Then, consult with an expert in  advertising  in using promotional  methods to attract customers to your art gallery. 

The importance of having an art gallery business plan is to give you credibility as a genuine businessperson by providing production, marketing and financial goals to consider for your startup. Following a business plan helps you to implement your ideas and concepts necessary for your art project in an orderly manner. This will make your business grow and easier to manage. Plus, it helps you raise funding and further improve your gallery.

The key steps to consider in writing a business plan for your art gallery are the following:

• Executive Summary
• Company Overview
• Industry Analysis
• Customer Analysis
• Competitive Analysis
• Marketing Plan
• Operations Plan
• Management Team
• Financial Plan

In order to have an effective business plan in your creative project, the primary step is to define your vision, mission, and goals. Identify who your ideal client is so you can market your artwork in the most efficient way possible. Take the time to research other artists that are similar to you. Evaluating both their strengths and weaknesses can be useful in developing a plan for your own art business and obtaining a competitive advantage.  Create a realistic marketing strategy. Establish specific objectives related to your business. Make an action plan and execute it. 

Yes. A published article by Art Business Journal noted that collectors are gradually moving away from discovering and purchasing art from gallery exhibition spaces and gravitating towards digital platforms and international art fairs based on a study by the European Fine Arts Foundation. 

Thus, taking advantage of digitizing their available artwork is highly essential for art gallery business owners to save a gallery time and financial resources, and utilizes sales.

How to Write a Simple Business Plan

What is a business plan.

The primary value of your business plan will be to create a written outline that evaluates all aspects of the economic viability of your business venture including a description and analysis of your business prospects.

A business plan is an essential step for any prudent entrepreneur to take, regardless of the size of the business. This step is too often skipped, but we make it easy for you by providing a format to build your plan as you progress through this course.

Business plans can vary enormously. Libraries and bookstores have books devoted to business plan formats. But this is a place to start. You can then go on from here to design one that would be ideal for your particular enterprise.

Why prepare a business plan?

Your business plan is going to be useful in a number of ways. Here are some of the reasons not to skip this valuable tool.

* First and foremost, it will define and focus your objective using appropriate information and analysis. * You can use it as a selling tool in dealing with important relationships including your lenders, investors and banks. * You can use the plan to solicit opinions and advice from people, including those in your intended field of business, who will freely give you invaluable advice. Too often, entrepreneurs forge ahead (“My Way!”) without the benefit of input from experts who could save them a great deal of wear and tear. “My Way” is a great song, but in practice can result in unnecessary hardships. * Your business plan can uncover omissions and/or weaknesses in your planning process.

What to avoid in your business plan?

Place some reasonable limits on long-term, future projections. (Long-term means over one year.) Better to stick with short-term objectives and modify the plan as your business progresses. Too often, long-range planning becomes meaningless because the reality of your business can be different from your initial concept.

Avoid optimism. In fact, to offset optimism, be extremely conservative in predicting capital requirements, timelines, sales and profits. Few business plans correctly anticipate how much money and time will be required.

Do not ignore spelling out what your strategies will be in the event of business adversities. Use simple language in explaining the issues. Make it easy to read and understand. Don’t depend entirely on the uniqueness of your business or even a patented invention. Success comes to those who start businesses with great economics and not necessarily great inventions.

Here are free Sample Business plan . Choose the category that is closest to your own business or industry, and view a plan you like.

Here are some suggested topics you can tailor into your plan:

Vision statement: This will be a concise outline of what your business purpose and goals will be.

The people: By far the most important ingredient for your success will be yourself. Focus on how your prior experiences will be applicable to your new business. Prepare a resume of yourself and one for each person who will be involved with you in starting the business. Be factual and avoid hype. This part of your business plan will be read very carefully by those with whom you will be having relationships, including lenders, investors and vendors.

Templates for preparing resumes are available in your library, bookstores and the Internet under “resumes.”

However, you cannot be someone that you are not. If you lack the ability to perform a key function, include this in your business plan. For example, if you lack the ability to train staff, include an explanation how you will compensate for this deficiency. You could add a partner to your plan or plan to hire key people who will provide skills you don’t have. Include biographies of all your intended management.

Your business profile: Define and describe your intended business and exactly how you plan to go about it. Try to stay focused on the specialized market you intend to serve.

Economic assessment: Provide a complete assessment of the economic environment in which your business will become a part. Explain how your business will be appropriate for the regulatory agencies and demographics with which you will be dealing. If appropriate, provide demographic studies and traffic flow data normally available from local planning departments.

Cash flow assessment: Include a one-year cash flow that will incorporate your capital requirements. Include your assessment of what could go wrong and how you would plan to handle problems.

Include your marketing plan and expansion plans and refer to helpful government websites such as the Small Business Administration.

Six steps to a great business plan

Start-up entrepreneurs often have difficulty writing out business plans. This discipline is going to help you in many ways so don’t skip this planning tool! To make it easier, here are six steps that will get you to a worthwhile plan:

1. Write out your basic business concept. 2. Gather all the data you can on the feasibility and the specifics of your business concept. 3. Focus and refine your concept based on the data you have compiled. 4. Outline the specifics of your business. Using a “What, where, why, how” approach might be useful. 5. Put your plan into a compelling form so that it will not only give you insights and focus but, at the same time, will become a valuable tool in dealing with business relationships that will be very important to you. 6. Review the sample plans we furnish and download the blank format to a MS Word document. Fill this in as you progress though the course.

Check out if your plan includes the following necessary factors which will produce a successful business:

Good business concept. The single most common mistake made by entrepreneurs is not picking the right business to begin with. The best way to learn about your prospective business is to work for someone else in that business before beginning your own. There can be a huge gap between your concept of a fine business and reality.

Understanding your market . A good way to test your understanding is to test market your product or service before your start. You think you have a great kite that will capture the imagination of kite fliers throughout the world? Then hand-make some of them and try selling them first.

A healthy, growing and stable industry . Remember that some of the great inventions of all time, like airplanes and cars, did not result in economic benefit for many of those who tried to exploit these great advances. For example, the cumulative earnings of all airlines since Wilber Wright flew that first plane are less than zero. (Airline losses have been greater than their profits.) Success comes to those who find businesses with great economics and not necessarily great inventions or advances to mankind.

Management capability . Look for people who you like and admire, have good ethical values, have complementary skills and are smarter than you. Plan to hire people who have the skills that you lack. Define your unique ability and seek out others who turn your weaknesses into strengths.

Solid financial knowledge . You will learn later the importance of becoming qualified in accounting, computer software and cash flow management. Most entrepreneurs do not come from accounting backgrounds and must go back to school to learn these skills. Would you bet your savings in a game where you don’t know how to keep score? People mistakenly do it in business all the time.

Consistent business focus. If you think of specific products or services you will find that specialists will outperform non-specialists. Zero in on something you can do so well that you will not be subject to competing with someone with a lower price.

Executive Summary

Your executive summary should briefly describe the aims and goals of the business and outline what types of services you will offer. There should not be too much detail, just enough to get the reader interested in finding out more.

It should also describe your target market, why your products and services will appeal to that market and how you plan to market the business. Finish your summary with a statement that sells your business to the reader.

A wellness center business plan pdf should be produced to present to any potential investors. This should be a professional document, reflecting the values and quality of services offered by the company.

It makes sense to write your executive summary after completing the rest of a wellness business plan sample as you then have the details from which to produce your summary.

Description of the business of the wellness center

You use this section to define the details of your business. What is the name of your business and who does your business appeal to? It is also essential to set out a timeline with defined goals and a description of how you will measure the achievement of those goals.

This section should use the wellness business plan template to describe the products, services and delivery of these items to the target audience.

You should try to show your reason for starting the business and your passion for the industry. This will go a long way towards securing any financial backing you may require.

Competitive Analysis

This section should provide a solid basis for the viability of your wellness business by examining industry data and comparing your potential business to the competitors in the market.

Here, you need to be specific on your niche and produce, for example, a holistic wellness center business plan that shows your direct competitors. Look at your strongest competitors and work out why they are so successful, but also highlight where they have weaknesses.

Identify any potential difficulties that may prevent your business from starting or hinder its growth and specify how they will be overcome.

Marketing Strategies of Wellness Business Plan

This section of our wellness center business plan sample will act as a blueprint for your company marketing plan and future marketing activity.

You should define the marketing your wellness business will use, based on the products and services you will sell.

There are 3 main areas you need to consider;

• Product–what is your brand name, what will you sell and how is it packaged.
• Promotion–what budget is available for marketing. Do you have a marketing team? Where are you going to advertise and promote your products?
• Pricing–individual product pricing needs to be considered, along with any product bundles you could offer. Will you have seasonal pricing and how flexible is your pricing strategy

The overall strategy for business plan should consider your brand image and how each individual area of the business contributes to promoting your brand.

This section of a wellness business plan sample covers the company organisation and structure. What form will your company take? A limited company or maybe a partnership.

Who will run the company and is there a board of directors? Perhaps an organizational chart could be useful here.

You will need to define the management team roles and responsibilities, decide on any other team members required and also consider the personnel growth plan. Another important factor is the salaries of each member of staff since this could be a major outgoing for the business.

Financial Data for Wellness Business Plan

This section is of particular importance if you are trying to attract investors, but is equally relevant as a tool for ensuring your business is viable.

If this is a new wellness business plan, then there won’t be any historical data to use for this section. You will have to make assumptions.

Areas to consider include listing your assets, liabilities and equities. What does the company own and what does it owe to investors? This can include any bank loans to business plan you need to get the business off the ground. Coupled with this is an overview of the projected income from sales, which will offset the liabilities.

Investors will want to see a profit-and-loss analysis, plus a break-even point, showing when you project the company to move into profit.

You cannot know for sure what all these figures will be, but for a new business, it is important to show that you have a growth plan and that you have something to measure your success, or failure, against.
