What Better Time to Start That Bozeman Business?

“One reason why downturns tend to be good times to launch new businesses is because established companies abandon promising growth opportunities too fast. Oracle and Microsoft were both born in difficult economic times.” (“All You Need Is Cash.” Economist, 22-28 Nov. 2008: 17)

So you may not want to become as BIG as Mister Softee…at this time…it may be time to think BIG about that business plan for the blue widget company you have been meaning to start.

Remember, ”BIG” does NOT mean “starting BIG,” it means “thinking BIG” by putting together all the pieces of a good business plan.

Some, but not all, of the MANY aspects of a good business plan include:

Describe Your Business.
Business Vision Statement.
Elevator Speech (Short Statement).
Who is Your Competition?
How Will You Market Your Business and Products?
How Will You Operate Your Business?
Who Will Manage Your Business?
Who is Your Market?
Number of Persons You Will Employ?
Who Will Provide Your Business Insurance?
Will You Pay Cash or Apply For a Loan and With Whom?
Sample Balance Sheet.
Analysis of What It Takes To Breakeven.
What Equipment and supplies Do You Need?
A Three-Year Summary.
Month-by-Month Business Detail for First Year.
Quarter-by-Quarter Detail For Year Two and Year Three.
How Have You Assertained Your Information and Data?
Ways in Which Your Business May Fail?
Projected Cash-Flow.
Profit and Loss Statement.

If Mister Softee began in soft times, maybe you can too…

Butte Post Building

Butte Post Building

The pub and Butte’s Irish heritage, which it represents, have been featured in several publications, including Irish America, The World of Hibernia, and Montana Magazine.

Backbar Background and Other Aspects

This corner landmark is part of Butte’s National Historic Landmark District. Architect Herman Kemma, who began his Butte practice in 1898, designed this attractive landmark at the end of his productive career.

The two-story building of brick and concrete, constructed in 1922 for $45,000, features large arched ground-floor windows and a series of brick pilasters in the upper floor. One of Butte’s long-time newspapers The Butte Daily Post moved its printing operation into this building in 1923, without missing a single issue, and continued publication in the building until 1950.

The Pub’s tin ceiling and hard wood floors are original. The front and back bar were formerly located at the now-closed Montana Bar on Butte’s East Park Street. The Victorian-design front bar is dated 1895, and the back bar is dated 1909, and features tiger mahogany, mother of pearl with ebony and ivory inlays.
