Is this plan complete, or do I still have to write it?

The Wine and Food Tours Business Plan is already written. Add your business name, location and owner details, then review the editable figures so they suit your property, offer and starting scale where necessary.

Can I use this plan for a funding application?

The plan includes the core business, market, operations, funding and financial sections commonly assessed in applications. You will also attach the personal, property and supporting documents requested by the funder.

Can I change the startup amount and financial figures?

Yes. The Excel model is editable. Change the room or guest capacity, prices, booking volumes, facilities, equipment, operating costs and staffing inputs where needed, and the financial statements and cash flow will recalculate.

What exactly do I receive?

You receive the complete Word business plan, five-year Excel financial model, editable pitch deck and step-by-step guide as digital files after successful payment.

Does the plan include permission to sell alcohol or transport guests?

No. Tastings should be supplied by appropriately authorised venues, and passenger transport must use compliant vehicles and drivers. Confirm the requirements for the exact service you will provide.

Can I get a refund?

Because the files are digital products, completed downloads are handled according to the Smatbiz refund policy. If a file is missing or does not open, contact us so we can resolve the problem.
