The Niche Meat Processor Assistance Network (NMPAN) has published a business planning guidebook for small beef, pork and poultry processors titled, appropriately, “The Meat Processors Business Planning Guidebook.”
It is available on the organization’s website: http://www.extension.org/pages/17166/meat-processor-business-development
“Every business needs a plan, whether you're just getting started or changing course after many years,” the organization said in a release. “This short guide walks you through a basic business plan, from a processor looking to upgrade and expand his facility.” It contains detailed financial projections and suggestions for planning other plant configurations (including a mobile slaughter unit), the release said.
A companion spreadsheet offers a modifiable pro forma, based on the model plan in the guide.
