Introduction

Hey y’all, my name is Dr. Paul Borosky, MBA, and I’m the owner of Quality Business Plan. In this video, I’ll be sharing some tips and tricks on how to write a Courier Service Business Plan. First, I’ll give you a bit of background about who I am, what I do, and why I do it. Then, we’ll dive into the courier business plan tips.

Tip #1 – Keep the Cover Page Clean

One of the biggest mistakes I see in courier business plans is overcrowding the cover page. Many business owners add too much information—company name, address, phone, email, and social media links—all in one spot.
Instead, keep it simple:

• Company name at the top

• Logo underneath

• The words “Business Plan” at the bottom

This tells the reader exactly what they’re looking at and keeps your document professional and easy to digest.

Tip #2 – Write a Strong Executive Summary

The executive summary is the most-read section of your business plan. Most investors and lenders won’t read beyond it, so make it count.
Structure it like a short story—with a clear beginning, middle, and end:

1. Introduction: Describe your courier service, location, and hours of operation.

2. Target Market: Define your service area and customer segments.

3. Financials: Present expected revenues, expenses, and net profits.

4. Funding: Clearly state how much funding you need and how it will be used.

This structure helps the reader understand what your business does, how it will make money, and what support you need to succeed.

Tip #3 – Master Your SWOT Analysis

A SWOT analysis covers your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats—but many business owners mix these up.

• Strengths and Weaknesses are internal factors—things you can control.

  • Example: Having a written strategic plan (strength) or being a startup courier (weakness).

• Opportunities and Threats are external factors—things you can’t control.

  • Example: Market demand or new competitors.

Understanding this separation keeps your SWOT organized and meaningful.
