I want to start a business and I need help putting together a business plan. The business I wanna run is a production company focusing primarily on animation production{makin cartoons). So if I can get a couple key questions answered from some I'd appreciate it....
1. how much funding is nessecary to run a production company
2. where can I find information like this out(to help determine company projections)
3. how do I figure out the projections....is it based off of formulas
4. how much money should I request for in my business plan
i'll have more questions later....all help is greatly appreciated

well have you researched other production companies to see what they are doing?
do you know exactly how animation production is done?
once you figure out that, then you can do some cost accounting and then come up with a legitimate business plan?
are you going to be the main artist involved or are you trying to just own a studio and have other artists actually do the animation?
start looking at companies like Disney and Pixar -

not really...i've looked at some websites of production companies but nothing in-depth cuz i'm not really sure what i'm reseraching when i'm on there
no i dont know much about animation production but i'll do some research for that
and i want to own the studio and hire the artists or sell my idea to another production company and do a joint project....
can i start up the production compnay before securing a studio and funding so that i can network and maybe work thru a website? -
well the key to doing a business plan is research
research, research, and research
you basically want to figure out how competition does business in your industry and then you need to figure out what exactly is it that you do different from them
because you don't want to waste ya time reinventing the same wheel
you especially need to figure out what exactly makes the competition successful at what they do.............you HAVE to know how animation production works from start to finish
then you'll understand the costs and how they make profits
then you'll come up with a legitimate business plan.............
as far as the company itself, you can start that now, but it will most likely be a waste of time if you don't do ya research 1st
companies tend to be more successful by stepping into the game ready to run...........you have to have an actual product to sell before people start taking you seriously
networking at best may get you some apprenticeship in your industry, but you don't need to waste time and energy starting a company just to get that -
appreciate the info homie...
