6 - MANAGEMENT
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
What are the key roles involved in the operation of your business? Describe the organizational chart for your company. How will management and staff interact? List the positions and responsibilities of each management and staff role.
LEADERSHIP
Who are the key members of your team? Provide a full background and duties for each. Notate shares of ownership, if applicable. Are there any key positions that remain unfilled? What skills and qualities are needed by candidates to fill these positions? Are there any prospects being considered?
STAFF MEMBERS
What roles and number of employees are needed to operate your business? Outline the staff, wages, commissions, bonuses and other compensation. Will you be able to find capable labor at wages that fit your budget? How will your staff grow over time?
BOARD MEMBERS & ADVISORS
Provide information on your board of directors and any technical or professional advisors that are committed to your business. What are their roles in your company? What are their qualifications to be involved in your business? If you created an informal advisory committee to help develop your business, share the names and positions of the people that are assisting you. (TIP: Attorneys, accountants, technical experts, business executives and entrepreneurs are excellent people to have on your team.)
