Based upon a Women's clothing boutique will edit to cover a retail apparel clothing store of any size.

According to its quarterly Retail Sales Outlook report, released this morning at NRF’s 96th Annual Convention & EXPO, NRF expects subdued first half economic growth to give way to accelerated sales in the second half. Retail sales increased 6.3 percent in 2006. The stronger-than-expected sales surge was fueled by robust consumer spending in the first half of the year. As expected, the sales picture weakened in the second half of 2006 as consumer spending power was challenged by the housing slowdown, high energy costs and lackluster employment growth, this continued into the first half of 2007 but in spite of these economic challenges on the consumer retail sales growth has remained strong as real disposable income continues to rise in a strong jobs market. An indication of just how strong demand is for women's apparel is the number of women's retail boutiques that have been added to the yellow pages in the last 6 months. According to InfoUSA, Inc, June 30th, 2007, there are now 43,878 women’s apparel stores (SIC 5621-01) listed in he U.S., up from 36,839 listed in June of 2006 a net increase of 7,039 new stores opened over the last 12 months, and increase of over 19%. In the last six months the Industry has added over 6,229 new stores or 15.8% this year, expectations are for a stronger second half of 2007 but  slow economic growth will be reflected in moderate consumer spending and retail sales gains through 2008. Starting a small business is always risky, and the chance of success is slim. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, over 50% of small businesses fail in the first year and 95% fail within the first five years. Whether you are starting a new Boutique,  are looking to raise additional capital to expand your currently profitable Store , or looking to evaluate and value your Store to sell, current statistics prove that you will do much better with a business plan than without. According to Dunn and Bradstreet the primary reasons for failure vary, but all of the reasons  come under the category of poor planning. You are a part of one of the largest Industries in the United States and one of the most competitive Industries in the world. Your management decisions will decide whether your Store survives or thrives in the face of increased competition. The most important benefit of a business plan is that it sets the stage for the future of your business as you want it to be positioned in the marketplace. A business plan will make it easy for your banker to take action as he/she gains insight into the details of your Company and the goals that you have outlined. Potential investors can review your plan and decide whether or not to make an investment based upon the risk. You will benefit most as you study and gain detailed insight into your own operations. Updating and constantly reviewing your plan will give you more insight as both a manager and decision maker.
