A proposal is an important element of any new business. A proposal acts a guiding hand for the entrepreneur and also as a direction in case you want to get a loan or equity to your business. For an agricultural venture a proposal has to have key elements to make it successful. An overview Most people would like to get a general idea of your proposal before going too far down your proposal. An overview should help whoever is looking at the proposal get a rough idea of what to expect. It should touch on all aspects of the business and why it is a good idea. An overview helps those who do not have an agricultural background grasp the financial aspect of the idea. Financial aspects These are better known as cost estimations. The most important part of a business entrepreneur is making a profit. A good way of knowing what to expect is doing good research on all the financial aspects of the farm. A good way of achieving this is by defining the financial aspects of a small area such as an acre. The input in one acre calculated as opposed to the whole area of land will give you a better estimate of the requirements. Input requirements In farming, the input you put in is very important. The measurements are usually very exact and should measure as such. Everything should be carefully measured to give a good estimate of what inputs should be used. Due to the specific nature of this field, too much or too little of the input may lead to losses, ensure your proposal has the optimum input requirements.
