This section of the analysis will detail the economic climate, the bar/tavern industry, the customer profile, and the competition that the business will face as it progresses through its business operations. Currently, the economic market condition in the United States is in recession. This slowdown in the economy has also greatly impacted real estate sales, which has halted to historical lows. Many economists expect that this recession will continue until mid-2009, at which point the economy will begin a prolonged recovery period. However, bars operate with great economic stability as people will continue to frequent bars and nighttime entertainment locations despite deleterious changes in the general economy.

The full industry research for the Bar and Tavern Business Plan is available in the purchased version of the business plan.

In this section, you can also put demographic information about your target market including population size, income demographics, level of education, etc.

4.4 Competitive Analysis

This is one of the sections of the business plan that you must write completely on your own. The key to writing a strong competitive analysis is that you do your research on the local competition. Find out who your competitors are by searching online directories and searching in your local Yellow Pages. If there are a number of competitors in the same industry (meaning that it is not feasible to describe each one) then showcase the number of businesses that compete with you, and why your business will provide customers with service/products that are of better quality or less expensive than your competition.

Mr. Doe intends on using a number of marketing strategies that will allow the Bar to easily target men and women within the target market.

Management feels that this will solidify a repeat customer base that will regularly frequent the tavern. The Company will maintain a sizable amount of print and traditional advertising methods within local markets to promote the alcohol products that the Company is selling.
