The Industry
The Industry is tied directly to the health of the U.S. Economy and
consumer disposable income. The CBO
anticipates that the current recession, which started in December
2007, ended in the second quarter of 2009, making it the longest
recession since World War II. . U.S. economic growth during 2010 came in
at a 2.9% rate after inflation, the strongest performance of the
past five years. Such growth compares to a 2.6% real rate of
decline during 2009, the depths of the recession. The swing in
performance from 2009 to 2010 was the widest since 1983, a period of
27 years. The increase in real GDP in 2010 primarily
reflected positive contributions from private inventory investment,
exports, personal consumption expenditures (PCE), nonresidential
fixed investment, and federal government spending.
Severe economic downturns often sow the seeds of robust recoveries.
During a slump in economic activity, consumers defer purchases,
especially for housing and durable goods, and businesses postpone
capital spending and try to cut inventories. Once demand in the
economy picks up, the disparity between the desired and actual
stocks of capital assets and consumer durable goods widens quickly,
and spending by consumers and businesses can accelerate rapidly.
Although the CBO expects that the current recovery will be spurred
by that dynamic, in all likelihood, the recovery will also be
dampened by a number of factors. Those factors include slow wage and
employment growth, high unemployment as well as a continued sluggish
housing market.Current
expectations by the CBO are for GDP growth of 3.1% in 2011 falling
off to
2.8 percent in 2012. This current forecast reflects the CBO’s
expectation of continued strong growth in business investment,
improvements in residential investment, net exports, and modest
increases in consumer spending.

revisions.

The continued rebound in GDP will also affect real disposable income
growth. Real DPI increased 1.4 percent in 2010, compared with an
increase of 0.6 percent in 2009. Even though economic activity began
to increase again during the second half of 2009, the unemployment
rate continued to rise, finishing the year at 10.0 percent. Hiring
usually lags behind output during the initial stages of a recovery
because firms tend to increase output first by boosting productivity
and by raising the number of hours that existing employees work;
adding employees tends to occur later. As the recovery continues,
the economy will add roughly 2.5 million jobs per year over the
2011–2016 period, CBO estimates. However, even with significant
increases in the number of jobs, a substantial reduction in the
unemployment rate will take some time. CBO projects that the
unemployment rate will gradually fall in the near term, to 9.2
percent in the fourth quarter of 2011, 8.2 percent in the fourth
quarter of 2012, and 7.4 percent at the end of 2013. Only by 2016,
in CBO’s forecast, does it reach 5.3 percent, close to the agency’s
estimate of the natural rate of unemployment. Current inflation
expectations barring any major Geo Political factors are for
inflation to remain low throughout 2011.
One primary measure of inflation, and a favorite of the Federal
Reserve, is the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index. This
measure of consumer inflation rose at a 1.8% annual rate during the
fourth quarter of 2010, reflecting the recent rise in food and
gasoline prices. The core PCE, which excludes food and energy
costs, rose at only a 0.4% annual rate, the smallest rise on
record. Such a modest increase gives the Federal Reserve more
“cover” to maintain its key interest rate at essentially zero for
most, if not all, of 2011. With less uncertainty by businesses and
investors as to tax policy this year and next and with rising
expectations that split government in Washington will slow the
explosion in government spending the economy looks poised for
sustained growth as businesses and investors get back to the
business of growing and expanding the bottom line.
For
operators just getting started this may be
the best time within the business cycle to
plan and open your new facility
understanding that with interest rates still
at all time low levels and marginal
operators going out of business you will
have accounted for the marginal efficiencies
necessary to not only survive against the
competition but to thrive as we cycle once
again into economic expansion.
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.
TIME IS MONEY...We
have estimated that it takes an average of
100 hours to research, and write a
comprehensive business plan within any
Industry. Creating and compiling the five
year financial plan and forecasts including
5 years of budgets, income statements,
balance sheets, cash flow analysis, and key
financial ratio analysis can take more than
20 hours of work by you or your accountant.
Now consider sitting down in front of your
computer to edit and fill in the details of
an already written and organized sample
Apparel business plan and outline. Whether
you are starting a small clothing boutique
or are looking for expansion capital to open
your second Outlet, or want to sell your
multi Store chain, you will be able to edit
this plan into your own.
