How is this different from a startup business plan?

You already have real numbers, so the document starts from them. The question is not whether the business works - it is whether the next step is affordable, whether the demand is there, and when it pays back.

Do I need one if I am not applying for funding?

Not necessarily. If the expansion is self-funded and small, you may not. It earns its price when the decision is large enough that being wrong is expensive, or when a funder, landlord or partner needs to see the reasoning.

What do you need from me?

How long you have traded, roughly what you turn over, and what exactly you want to add and where. If you have management accounts they sharpen the projections, but they are not required to start.

Business Plan for Expansion

An expansion plan is a different document from a startup plan: you have real numbers, and the question is whether the next step is affordable and whether the demand is there. This plan starts from your actual trading history, sizes the opportunity you are expanding into, models what the expansion costs and when it pays back, and states the operational changes it requires.

Built from your actual trading history rather than assumptions
The expansion opportunity sized with market evidence
Cost of expansion and modelled payback period
Operational changes required: staff, premises, equipment, systems
Risk assessment with the conditions that would make you stop
