Technology Investment Business Plan


Technology Investment Business Plan


The Center for Technology and Investment (CTI) is a company devoted to bringing investment in technology within reach of rural small business owners. This company was founded on the belief that rural small businesses are in dire need of technology consulting and experience. However, they don’t have the resources to hire large multinational companies to do the job.

Through innovative funding sources, including grants and charitable contributions made by the owner’s company and by individuals who are interested in helping rural Oregon develop economically, CTI will become an innovative new force in rural Oregon.

CTI&#8217’s management team is comprised of Bill Franklin. Over 35 years of technology development in Silicon Valley, Mr. Franklin was also one of the first Electrical Engineers at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI). Mr. Franklin is a leading expert in the general field of technological advancement, and has owned several businesses during his lifetime, including two that he sold for a profit.

CTI’s services are available in all areas of Oregon. If the company expands, they will likely expand into the rural West. Over 45,000 small, rural, mom-and-pop businesses are located in the Western United States. Many of them have very limited or no experience with high tech and don’t know how to find alternative funding sources.

The purpose of this investment business plan is to help formalize the business strategy, as well as to provide evidence that CTI is a worthy investment for a $10,000 open line of credit from X bank. This open credit is to provide cash flow management and a $10,000 loan to start with CTI.

1.1 Objectives

By the end of Year 1, approximately 500 clients will be served by the Center for Technology and Investment. At least 50% of these clients will have purchased products or services from the Center for Technology and Investment by Month 4.

Here are some financial goals.

  • Within the first year achieve a 25% contribution margin on books, software, academic materials, and other products.
  • Keep service revenue costs below 20%
  • From Month 1 to Month 12, net revenue increased 350%
  • 30 % net revenue margin in year 1, 35% in year 2.

1.2 Mission

The Center for Technology and Investment (a non-profit organization) was founded to assist rural small businesses in using technology more efficiently. The company’s charter is based on evidence that many rural small business owners simply don’t have the resources or connections to use technology wisely. Our goal is to help small business owners bridge this gap by providing training and education on how to best use technology to make the most of their resources and maximize the potential for their businesses.

When all of its clients reach growth rates exceeding 20%, the organization will have fulfilled their mission.

1.3 Keys for Success

Here are some key points to success.

  • Focus on your target market. Go deeper into the demographics.
  • Intricate planning and execution. Quarterly seminars need to be thoroughly researched, with accurate costs understood and fresh content maintained.
  • Retainer consultation must be at a low price to rural business owners. It must also represent a small percentage of any SBA grants or other funding that the business owner gets. CTI must continue to be a consultant, not as a broker in SBA or other funding.
  • Financials need to be maintained at the top, due to the nonprofit status of an industry that is largely for-profit.

Painting Contractors Business Plan


Painting Contractors Business Plan


Barnum Painters is committed to providing high-quality interior and external residential and commercial painting service. The principal officers of Barnum Painters believe that most companies in this industry suffer two major problems. These are poor scheduling of job projects and poor retention of quality employees. Both these issues lead to customer dissatisfaction, low repeat business, and low word-of mouth referral rates. Barnum Painters believes this contractor business strategy can help it exploit its weaknesses to increase local market share.

The objectives for Barnum Painters over the next three years are:

  • To achieve sales revenue of approximately $620,000 within the third year.
  • To reach a customer mix that is 30% commercial and 10% residential per year.
  • Expanding operations to include all of the Greater Seattle region, Kirkland Renton, and the Kitsap Peninsula.

The company will do everything possible to provide the best painting services to its customers. This includes ensuring that they are available when needed and maintaining a quality-control program that ensures 100% customer satisfaction. Principal officers of the company see every contract as an agreement between two partners, not between customers and businesses. They want to build a long-lasting relationship that is mutually beneficial. This will result in greater long-term profits via referrals and repeat customers.

Barnum Painters will institute the following key procedures to reach its goals:

  • Have at least one expediter assigned for each project.
  • Each project should have a project manager who is able to handle quality-control issues.
  • Establish a profit sharing plan for all employees.

Barnum Painters Limited Liability Company is a new start-up with three principal officers, each of whom has over 40 years industry experience. Barnum Painters will be a partnership between Mr. William Barnum, Mr. Anthony Barnum and Mr. Michael Kruger. The principals will be investing significant amounts of their own capital into the company and will also be seeking a loan of $7,000 to cover start-up costs and future growth. A $10,000 line of credit has been obtained by the company (not shown in financial statements). This credit can be used for any unforeseen expenses.

Barnum Painters will be located at a rented unit in Rucker Industrial Park, 710 Snoquamie Route Suite 250, Edmonds, WA. There will be a reception, offices for principals, inventory storage, and an employee lounge. Barnum Painters offers a wide variety of services primarily focused on interior and exterior residential and commercial painting. Additionally, the firm offers services such drywall plastering as well as acoustic ceilings, pressure washing and other related services. The aim is to provide clients a broad range related services that will minimize the need for multiple contractors. Barnum Painters will be able to provide a low-cost, high-quality leadership strategy.

Initially, the company will only be serving residential and commercial customers in Everett. The company plans to serve the entire Puget Sound region by the end the three-year projections. The company has rigorously examined its financial projections and concluded that they are both conservative in profits and generous in expenditures. This was done intentionally to allow for unexpected events. According to the company’s principals, cash flow projections seem realistic.

Keys for Success

Barnum Painters’ principal officers are experienced in the contracting industry for many years. They believe that most companies in this industry, which includes painting contractors, suffer from two major problems that Barnum Painters can improve upon and exploit.

The scheduling of jobs can be the first problem. It is difficult for many painting contractors to keep their schedules straight with customers, which can lead to customer dissatisfaction and loss. This can be caused by poor management, less reliable employees, delays in inventory distribution, and poor inventory procurement. The second problem is in retaining reliable and motivated personnel. Many painting companies rely upon temporary or transient employees which results in high turnover rates and reduced service quality.

These are the key procedures Barnum Painters will use:

  • Incorporation of an inventory coordinator position and at least one expediter for each project.

  • Each project should have a project manager who is able to handle quality control issues.
  • All employees should be encouraged to participate in a profit sharing program.

    • Mission

    Barnum Painters aims to provide the highest quality interior and exterior residential as well as commercial painting services. This company will ensure that these services are provided in a timely manner, with a continuous quality control program to ensure customer satisfaction. Principal officers of the company see every contract as an agreement between two partners, not between customers and businesses. They are meant to be a long-term partnership that is mutually beneficial. This will lead to greater long-term profitability through referrals, repeat business, and other activities.

    Objectives

    Barnum Painters’ goals for the next three-years are:

    • In the third year, sales revenues will be approximately $450,000
    • You can achieve a client mix of 30% commercial and 10% residential building contracts each year.
    • Expand operations to include all the Greater Seattle area including Kirkland, Renton and the Kitsap Peninsula.

    Event Planning Business Plan


    Event Planning Business Plan


    Opportunity

    Problem

    Companies must ensure their employees are provided with the best tools and training. Retreats can be used to support colleagues and help them work together. This helps reduce turnover. Happy coworkers mean happy customers

    Solution

    Corporate Retreat Professionals (CRP), an event planning company that specializes in corporate clients, is called Corporate Retreat Professionals. CRP will offer retreat training services and product launches event planning. You can choose to receive retreat training in leadership development or team building skills training. CRP can help with both the planning and hosting of these types of retreats by partnering with one of its strategic business partners.

    Market

    Event planning is a profitable business. In some cases, large companies will have to make cuts in their training budgets due to economic downturns. For short-sighted companies, however, this may not be true. The benchmark companies may trim down the workforce during a downturn, but they do not cut funds for training. They know that investing in human capital is always a wise investment. CRP plans to make good on this. In economic downturns, many companies still have product launches, and will still require someone to organize them. CRP will take advantage of this increasing demand to provide corporate event planning and hosting services.

    Concurrence

    In the past, large corporations were able to buy from outside vendors. This trend is changing in favor of outsourcing. There is an insatiable desire to increase efficiency.

    Why Us?

    Corporate Retreat Professionals will provide companies with the highest level of event planning. Our goal is to keep customers coming back. Everything else will follow this principle. Our services will meet or exceed customer expectations.

    ASP Software Developer Business Plan


    ASP Software Developer Business Plan


    Despite the continuing slide in this industry, the US housing sector saw its record-breaking $550.14Billion gain last year. The sector will continue to grow steadily over the next two years. New single-family housing construction, which accounted for 67% total residential construction in the US, is one of the highest revenue-generating segments in this segment.

    The industry’s business model has changed over the years to be more efficient and cost-effective. Low entry barriers (other than the need to obtain state-based licenses and registration) in the industry had spawned more service providers in the industry. Competition is largely determined by reputation and performance, as many newcomers find it difficult to gain a foothold within the market.

    Existing firms have many advantages over newcomers. They:

    • Get access to skilled subcontractors.
    • Keep in touch with your suppliers.
    • Maintain good relationships with property developers and financial institutions.
    • They can show completed examples of their work and generate ‘word-of mouth’ referrals.

    KnaelHaed ASPware is a provider Web-based vertical market software solutions. The DigitalSuspenders is an online software solution to be offered by KnaelHaed ASPware in support of the building construction process.


    The Problem

    In research and development investment, the construction industry is not as advanced as other industries. R&D expenditures for mature US corporations are usually around 3.5%. For some industries such as aerospace that number can be 7% to 14%. Construction only reinvests 0.5%. The reasons for the low reinvestment vary, but are generally due to costs and complexity. The majority of construction firms have less than 10 workers and are limited in their profit margins. So, technology spending is often seen as an unaffordable luxury.


    The solution

    DigitalSuspenders, a suite of integrated Web-based software applications, will support the entire building cycle, from conception through construction and to maintenance. The suite offers online collaboration, digital takesoff, estimating, as well project and property management capabilities. This is all in an easily understood and easy to use format.


    The Market Size

    According to the most current Economic Census, the home construction industry has 163,703 establishments. It employs 796.880 workers. According to the most recent Economic Census, the industry has seen a record growth of 175,000 establishments over the past few years. Meanwhile, the US commercial and institutional building industries are comprised of 34,588 establishments. The construction industry accounts for approximately 8% of US GDP.


    Start-up costs

    KnaelHaed ASPware anticipates initially requiring $120,000 to complete the beta prototype of the DigitalSuspenders, provide for legal and infrastructure expenses related to start up and to cultivate potential customers. We are looking for angel investors and corporate partners to fund the initial capital.


    Potential Payoff

    KnaelHaed ASPware estimates break-even in less than two years. We expect royalty income from licensing our position sensing system and software technology. KnaelHaed ASPware plans to launch or sell the company within three to 5 years to stimulate further growth, and to provide liquidity for investors.


    Management Team

    Paul Peen, currently President & Chief executive officer, has over 20 year experience in commercial software development. This includes stints at Microsoft, Expedia.com, and Microsoft.

    Leveraging connectivity, interactivity and speed, KnaelHaed ASPware is the first of its kind offering both efficiency and cost saving strategy to builders and subcontractors. KnaelHaed can offer competitive pricing for solutions via outsourcing. KnaelHaed ASPware is dedicated to the development of new ideas that are useful in achieving clients’ objectives. Together, the owners’ passion and accumulated field work has made KnaelHaed ASPware more than “just-another-outsourcing-hub”, but a catalyst for the next e-commerce re-invention.

    1.1 Objectives

    The mission of KnaelHaed ASPware is to provide a medium for custom builders, general contractors, design builders, engineer-contractors, joint-venture contractors, and turnkey contractors to outsource their works with greater cost saving efficiency.

    This model is intended to be a disruptive force against the majority of construction software companies, which charge hundreds of dollars for each copy. KnaelHaed ASPware’s plan is to offer a limited number of these capabilities at no cost. KnaelHaed ASPware’s ideal mission is to offer better solutions to all stakeholders by using the open-source model.

    1.2 Mission

    Our target market is builders and subcontractors who want to profit from outsourcing. Software companies provide software products that are very expensive for small and mid-sized users. Considering that the typical home builders construct only about a dozen homes per year, there are only a few companies that may then be considered large enough, with sufficient financial resources to pay for premium licensing of a software package.

    We estimate that roughly 60% of the US market will fall under the category of small and middle builders. That would equal 118,980 establishments. Our focus will be directed to these establishments that are prioritizing on cost efficiency and precise results.

    1.3 Keys for Success

    We have targeted the construction market for several reasons. As a $787 billion industry (both residential and commercial), it offers significant growth potential. The annual unit growth of the number of establishments in the housing sector averaged 6.45% and commercial/institutional sector 0.46% last year.

    Despite the lackluster growth in the construction sector, it is still a highly fragmented industry. Within the US alone there are over 200,000 establishments (both housing and commercial/institutional) on record.

    Our success is based on these keys:

      • Building and maintaining strategic alliances for our software vendors as well as other industry partners
      • Adopting a customer-centric and market-focused sales/marketing paradigm
      • Managing the business by implementing, and consistently measuring and adjusting the fundamentals of a Balanced Scorecard:
      • Employee Learning and Growth Goals Vs. Results
      • Financial Goals vs. Results
      • Goals for internal business processes Vs. Results
      • Customer Satisfaction Goals Vs. Results

    Remodeling Business Plan


    Remodeling Business Plan


    Introduction

    Comgate is a custom millhouse that creates architectural woodwork such as wall paneling, custom cabinets, or other products for the local market. Comgate’s business plan is being created after several losses and thin profit years in competitive bidding projects. This will help to define its mission. Prior years were characterized by hectic efforts to bid as many jobs as possible. Margins were very thin because the pricing policy was “flexible” to ensure that there was enough work for production staff.

    Comgate is able to increase sales and create more margins. It can also improve efficiency and overall profitability by focusing on its target market and restructuring. These changes will assure more accuracy in pricing, billing, and tracking of costs for comparison purposes. Expect to see an increase in profits.

    The Company

    Comgate’s mission will be to profitably compete in Connecticut’s high end residential market for custom-made woodwork. It will specialize in the most challenging needs of designer homes with a price range from $3 to $15 Million.

    Products

    Comgate is a provider of custom-made architectural woodwork. These include wall paneling as well as molding, custom cabinets and molding. The recent addition of state-of-the-art CAD capability will help substantially to increase sales of higher-end products by targeting design professionals who are in a position to influence choices of subcontractors building “trophy” homes costing over $3 million. “Custom” is the key word at Comgate. Our products are unlikely to be used in the typical home. Custom woodworking of the type carried out by Comgate is made to order only. No finished goods can be held in stock. It is not common for finished goods to be made up for stock.

    The Market

    The industry has a long history and is well represented. There are many mill shops that are focused on special areas in the same region. One mill shop may be focused on custom furniture and have special relationships with upholstery shops. Other mill shops may focus on standard kitchen cabinetry. Comgate targets residential homes at the highest price ($3-$15million). This work is more price-sensitive, and it’s relatively stable even in economic downturns. The company’s most powerful competitive tool is its CAD capacity. The program is designed specifically to be used in the custom woodwork sector and is expected make substantial inroads into residential markets at the highest end. Comgate should be able distinguish itself from the competition and be able fully to utilize its newly expanded production capacities.

    Comgate has begun to link its CAD capabilities with the practices and skills of design professionals. This will enable the company to outsource some of the simpler parts of a project to other mill shops while keeping the more difficult work in-house. Comgate will be able to provide another mill shop with detailed CAD drawings along with precise dimensions. This will enable them to increase their sales and profits and allow them to focus on more difficult custom woodwork products.

    Projections Financial

    Sales will rise to $1.2 million and nearly $800,000. By the end year 3, the company has added over $110,000 in sophisticated new Computer Numerical Control machinery (CNC). Profits are expected to grow. A desire to shorten accounts payable in Year 2 to take advantage of all available trade discounts, together with rising receivables, will result in a short-term need for increased bank lines of credit of approximately $30,000.

    1.1 Mission

    Comgate’s mission is to compete profitably in the high-end residential market for custom woodwork within the state of Connecticut. We will be focused on high-quality custom work, and we specialize in the most difficult needs of newly built and renovated designer homes priced between $3 and $15 million.

    Success Keys 1.2

    The keys to success in the contracting industry are key.

    mill shop industry are:

    1. Avoid bidding projects which are likely to be awarded based primarily on price, projects being undertaken by those who are disreputable (no matter how badly the company needs work), projects which are too big (more than 20% of last year’s sales), or projects which do not fit the company’s niche market and thus unlikely to advance the company’s marketing strategy.
    2. Correctly price the job. This means:

      • Accurate takeoffs, and listing.
      • A clear understanding between the company and the client, in reference to quality and terms of payment.
      • Calculate accurately the material required for completion of the project (including wastage).
      • Correctly applying overheads factors and profit marges, as well any special considerations.
    3. A set of operating procedures supported by an administrative system that tracks job costs and compares bids to actual costs for completing the job. Constant adjustments to bid formulas.
    4. Reliable production staff that can communicate with administration in order to produce the job on time, as per bid, using maximum labor, materials and machinery.

    1.3 Objectives

    Comgate’s major objectives are:

    1. Increase production. Given the new machinery and four production staff, full productive capacity has been carefully measured. The goal is for the monthly production to be at 80%, 85%, and 90% respectively in the last quarters of Year 1 and Year 2. This 80% of production translates to 342 feet in crown molding, 22 pilasters (or equivalent combination), 54 doors of various grades and 77 linear foot cabinets. This will result in monthly sales of $60,816.
    2. A much simpler task is to maintain site contract workers (six) at present, full employment levels will generate monthly revenue of $34,623 which (after expenses) nets the company $21,794.
    3. Continue efforts to bring the company’s in-house CAD capability to the attention of more design professionals, especially those in Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, Norwalk, and Shelton, as these are the areas with the greatest concentration of the chosen $3 to $15 million residential homes.
    4. As an industry partner, you can join the Connecticut Chapter of American Society of Interior Designers. Be listed in their resource directory.
    5. You must complete all administrative changes necessary to ensure that work is properly invoiced and paid in a timely fashion. Also, you need to ensure that jobs are accurately tracked to allow for cost comparisons with bids.
    6. Finish the operation manual that was started.
