When writing the management plan, be sure to include the following:
  • The organizational structure of the business
  • Number of employees
  • Who will supervise the staff?
  • Your role in the operations
  • Future staffing needs
  • Job descriptions for each role
  • Total personnel costs
  • What benefits will be offered to employees
Summary:
Vacations, payroll, consultants and all staffing issues are covered in the management plan. Depending on the size of the business, this part of the business plan may only be a few paragraphs or it could be one to two pages. Don’t forget to include in the management plan all employment policies and procedures.
