Two examples of business plans produced by HEC Junior Conseil


What is a business plan?

The Business Plan is the strategic core of a project. It is a written document that synthesizes a project to create a company or a start-up, or to launch a new product on the market. Its objective is to determine a strategic course of action for the next 3 to 5 years.

It is often one of the first steps for entrepreneurs to formalize all their research and documentation and is useful both for the start-up and for future investors. The form of the business plan is often predetermined: it is a detailed plan that start-ups set for themselves and that they are supposed to follow for the next few years.

Two examples of HJC's business plans

Business plan for Dom&Vie

Context of the study

Italian shower

DOM&VIE is a French company with a unique know-how in the field of adapted fittings. It is a network of 54 agencies offering PRM solutions in France. When Dom&Vie contacted HEC Junior Conseil, its sales were growing exponentially and its capacities were overwhelmed (not enough stocks, overloaded staff, ...). 

DOM&Vie wanted to proceed with a fundraising of between 2 and 3 million euros with BPI France. The company therefore called upon HEC Junior Conseil to prepare the financial documents necessary for the presentation of its project.

Business plan proposed by HJC

In order to meet the client's needs, HEC Junior Conseil began by taking note of the pre-written work (annual financing plan, deck etc.). 

creation of business plan

After these preparatory elements, we started the production of the requested documents :

  • Breakdown of expenditures and use of funds The purpose of this section is to compare the income statements with and without fundraising to determine the use of funds.
  • Monthly plan HJC's main objective is to recover the annual income statements as well as the document presenting the seasonality of Dom&Vie's activity. On the basis of these two resources, HJC can then monthlyize these income statements.

All these data were synthesized and formatted in a written document, which was delivered as a final deliverable at the end of the mission.

Contributions of the mission carried out

The participants in this mission were confronted with the preparation of a fundraising, which is a unique experience for them. unique experience for them, some of whom will do internships in investment funds.

The mission was a success since the client has effectively was able to complete its fundraising of two million euros. This fund raising allowed them to develop a commercial activity in parallel with their franchise activity.

HEC Junior Conseil's work also allowed the client to structure its financial department by setting up financial reports for each business unit, in order to have a clearer and more precise activity follow-up.

Today, Dom&Vie is working on several areas of development: perfecting its digital marketing (digital acquisition that allows them to provide services to their franchisees), working on their sourcing (acquisition of products from suppliers in Europe rather than in China).
