Covers All Five Competitive Forces
This template breaks down all five forces-industry rivalry, threat of substitutes, buyer bargaining power, supplier bargaining power, threat of new entrants-with wine-and-spirits examples: private label pressure, craft distillery sourcing, tasting-led loyalty, online alcohol merchants, and licensing hurdles. Each force has a short diagnosis, business impact statement, and three tactical moves you can test in 30-90 days.
Industry-Specific & Market-Relevant
Template is tuned for wine and spirits retail dynamics-distribution laws, minimum pricing impacts, exclusivity deals, tasting room economics, and accessory upsells-so analysis reflects the market you operate in. It includes industry benchmarks and common margin ranges as placeholders you can replace with your actual numbers for realistic strategy tests.

The Word document uses clear headings, bulleted findings, and a one-page executive summary for investor packs; the Excel sheet provides color-coded force ratings and an at-a-glance radar chart. Both formats are formatted for slides and reports so you can copy tables into pitch decks without reformatting.
Investor & Business-Plan Ready
If you're fundraising or refining a business plan, this template shows investors you understand structural risks: supplier concentration, regulatory entry costs, and substitute channels. The template frames mitigation steps and KPIs investors ask for, like repeat-customer rate, average order value, and event-driven revenue, so your plan reads as defensible and operational.
Compatible with Excel & Google Sheets
The Excel file contains editable force-rating tables, radar charts, and a summary dashboard that works in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets; use it to run scenario sensitivity, update supplier concentration scores, and export visuals for reports.
