Operational Business Plan (4th year commercial beekeeping business)

Established in 2019 in Revelstoke BC, BeeKind Honey Bees operated with 80 hives until April 2021. In April 2021, BeeKind Honey Bees purchased an existing reputable 100 colony beekeeping operation in Armstrong BC (1.5hrs from Revelstoke). Now operating at 250+ colonies our focus is diverse between, bee stock sales (Nucleus colonies and Mated queens) in the spring, beekeeping education opportunities for youth and adults spring and summer, and raw honey production harvested in the fall. We operate mostly through our ecommerce website www.beekindhoneybees.ca and social media. We have invested in developing a basic operational business plan through an online platform called https://www.liveplan.com that is integrated with our QuickBooks Online account providing real time financial data. Now that we are in our fourth year of operation, and have defined our operational scope and business model, we would like to update our business plan to a point where it can attract small business lending, business support, grant opportunities, and potential investment. We're open to extending collaborative access to our LivePlan account to have it finalized there (ideally) or cutting and pasting a formal business plan in your preferred format into our LivePlan account. Our provincial apiculture office offers a Business Plan guide for agricultural producers focused on Beekeeping that could be very useful. https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/farming-natural-resources-and-industry/agriculture-and-seafood/animal-and-crops/animal-production/bee-assets/api_beekeeper-business-plan.pdf Additionally, we are considering the purchase of an established beeswax candle company to compliment our operations and fill in the slower operational times. The business is https://beeswaxworks.ca/. They retail candles through their ecommerce website, and wholesale to roughly 50 accounts. The purchase of this business would require financing, and a suitable business plan to go represent our operations. We currently have not started a formal Marketing Plan, however are applying to Riipen for this as our second project. We're open to a shared collaboration between the two plans for the greatest consistency and optimized effort.
