The business model for a florist is seemingly very simple, the florist prepares and sells a variety of flowers. However, there are several other factors to consider when planning to open a florist store. The location must be selected based upon careful analysis of the regional demographics and competition level. A florist that targets higher end clientele may be able to charge premium prices, but may also be required to pay much higher rent fees than average. In contrast, a florist that concentrates entirely on rent prices or being at a great distance from competitors with a minimized marketing budget may be inaccessible to consumers – regardless of the price.

The financial section of a florist business plan may be required if your company is seeking capital from investors or banks. The financial projection period is typically performed over a three to five-year period and includes the income statement, cash flow statement, and balance sheet. If your florist business already has prior operating history, its historical performance is extrapolated in order to generate future projections.

Otherwise, the financial performance of comparable florist shops is reviewed in order to form reasonable assumptions adjusted to your business model. A robust financial model can help your company to make more informed decisions on how to allocate its budget, its pricing model, and what its break-even level in customers is on an annual basis. This will be particularly important given the seasonal demand variance that many florists experience.
