Michael’s Video Service uses the latest technology to provide video production services. The result is that services are now of an unmatched quality, previously available only to the most expensive video production firms.
Michael’, Video Service is a relatively new company. As such, we need to get market acceptance. To that end, the company is working to determine trends in the industry, the needs of the customer, and how best to address the needs of the customer.
Our services can be used in many markets including TV stations, high schools, families, businesses, and companies. We will initially target high schools with whom we can establish strategic alliances that will enable us to establish long term relationships with them. We expect to capture 15-25 percent of the market within our first year, which would translate into $100,000 –: $130,000 in sales.
We expect to earn $149,000 our first year and then $175,000 and $191,000 our second and third years. Our market strategy is to capitalize on the services offered by our competitors and advertise them.
We will be competing with several other companies. We have a competitive advantage, however, because our equipment is more aligned with the video production industry trends requiring digital technology, as opposed to analog devices.
The company seeks a loan of $300,000. This will be used for equipment purchase and startup expenses. The company’s revenue projections for the first three years are $149,000, $175,000, and $191,000, respectively. Michael’s Video Service plans to become profitable very soon.
Staryoo.com will be a revolutionary platform that provides a Web-based trading system for Chinese securities investors and institutions. Staryoo.com is going to revolutionize the way that millions of Chinese investors invest in China. Particular to Staryoo.com will be investment features that have recently not been available to the investor in China, including, real-time stock price quotes, technical and fundamental analysis, expert commentary on market action and recommendations, investment forums and chat rooms, online bank transfers, remote pager notification, and educational material including books and tapes. The platform’s intelligent interface can be customized to fit your level of investment experience and profile.
With both the development of the Chinese national super highway project and China’s imminent membership into the World Trade Organization (WTO), Internet use and Internet investing will grow very rapidly. A report by China Internet Information Center shows that China had 4.5 million Internet users as of June 1999. This is twice the 1998 estimate, and it is expected to rise to 20 millions by 2000. 40 million of the 45 million Chinese investors are individual investors. It is anticipated that as foreign equities markets (in particular the U.S. markets) are made available to the individual investor, their trading volume will increase enormously. Mr. Pen Reng, Vice President for Shanghai Securities Co., LTD., the second largest brokerage in China, it is estimated that the number of individual investors in China will increase to 250 million by 2005. Staryoo.com anticipated this trend, and will be the first company to offer international trading support.
In recent years, the U.S. equity market has seen a dramatic increase in trading volume. The combination of historic market heights and the increase in NASDAQ issuers has contributed to the significant rise in daily trading volume. At the same time, technology has advanced to the point where more investors are trading online. This has led to an entirely new set of self-reliant value-oriented investors who are more comfortable with electronic commerce. We expect these same trends to continue in China, and we will be well placed to profit from the large market opportunity for cheaper, faster, more reliable and less costly trading systems.

Pizzeria del Causamali has recently entered the restaurant business. The restaurant is in a comfortable, familiar, small town that has a strong need for additional dining options. This restaurant, which is well-positioned to meet the needs of families in Deauville, offers a variety of family-oriented dining experiences and home delivery.
The Deauville’s population is rapidly growing with new subdivisions and young families moving to the rural suburb of the Hewgton area. Pizzeria del Causamali has a strategy to profit from the first mover opportunity and become the preferred pizza delivery provider in the area. Locally owned restaurants offer more options than national chain restaurants for a fast-growing population.
This business plan envisions a bright, profitable year ahead. We can also expect future growth to meet the needs of the community. In all, this plan describes a healthy company with good growth prospects, looking to manage its orderly growth in the near future.
1.1 Mission
Pizzeria del Causamali fosters a positive and relaxed environment for its customers. We value good pizza’s appearance and flavor as well high-quality ingredients. We are committed to providing great tasting pizzas at great prices and ensuring that our customers have the satisfaction of receiving great value. We are the area’s first home-deliverer for pizzas.
As residents of our local market, our customers are also our neighbors. We will foster a positive, creative, respectful, enjoyable, and productive work environment where employees are paid fairly and encouraged to respect customers and the quality of our products. We want to earn a fair, responsible profit to ensure the company is financially sustainable in the long-term. This will also allow us to fairly compensate our investors and owners for their investment and risk.
Success Keys 1.2
These are the keys for success in this business:
Delivering the customer’s value proposition
Marketing: promoting a new company, product, and delivery channels to a rural community.
High quality products with consistent quality.
Effective pricing takes into account the project’s value and the customer’s needs.
Family-oriented atmosphere with occasional nights of family entertainment.
Management: Products delivered on time, costs controlled and marketing budgets managed. There is a temptation to fixate on growth at the expense of profits.
Financial reporting and controls are in place.
1.3 Objectives
The objectives for Pizzeria del Causamali are:
To establish the market presence needed to support marketing and sales goals and to attract customers.
To achieve healthy monthly sales by year end, with average monthly sales growing steadily through the third year.
To achieve double digit profit margins.
To build top-rated relationships, with at least two well-respected, all-encompassing distributors.
First impressions count. A great haircut is crucial to making a good first impression. Not everyone can afford to spend a few hundred dollars and a few hours to get a good haircut. Budget constraints are a common problem for many families. These people need to have a place to go for this stuff.
Solution
Cranium Filament Reductions will stand out by providing superior customer attention. Cranium is known for its “quick Salon” model, which has lower margins and is focused on delivering high-quality customer service.
Market
The hairstyling market is highly fragmented. Regis Corporation owns a number of franchises and caters to all market segments. Regis Corporation also operates thousands of small-scale salons with very limited scope and limited services. This makes for a highly competitive market that has low barriers to entry and exit. The low switching costs mean that hair styling clients have a significant advantage. Many companies have tried to achieve market share through one strategy. Cranium believes it’s possible to offer a differentiated customer service with improved customer service for no significant cost if you provide the right incentives to employees.
Competition
The buying patterns of men and women are quite different. Men tend to be more concerned about convenience and cost. Men usually care less about the task involved in getting their hair done. They prefer the easiest way. Women, on their other hand, get more involved in hairstyles and are more likely to form close relationships with their stylists. They are also more loyal to their salon because they feel closer to them. When a stylist earns their trust, they are more inclined to trust them with their hair.
Why Us
Cranium Filament Reduces’#8217’s mission is to provide affordable and convenient hair styling. We are here to serve our customers. Everything else will follow this principle. Our services will exceed the expectations of our customers.
Expectations
Forecast
This is a service company so it doesn’t generate high profitability. The people who work in it make a decent living.
Financial Highlights by Year
Financing Needed
The required financing is $105,000 This includes a $45,000 loan as well as owner investment (Susan), which is $60,000.

The Miami Beach Film Society, a not for profit 501(c),(3) organization, is expanding to finally have a permanent location, The Miami Beach Cinematheque. This will be not only the home but also the office/headquarters of MBFS’s annual event, THE FESTIVAL FOR FILM FESTIVAL: The Miami Beach International Film Festival, which will debut in its second year of operation. This plan is focused on the first two years of operation. First, the Cinematheque will be opened with a strategic start up #8220 Foundation Circle. Second, the Cinematheque will be run through creative programming and sales.
We are looking for funding to increase our donations and for initial start-up expenses. These expenses include rent, equipment, and other issues. We will continue to generate revenue annually through memberships, admissions into programs, product sales, fundraising activities, state grants, city, county, as well as state grants.
We have already made several strategic alliances to various businesses and organizations that will either help or have contributed to the success of the Cinematheque, MBIFF and MBIFF. Our business goals for the Cinematheque’s first year were in five major categories:
It was a success.
Earned revenue is generated from ticket sales, product, and service sales, as well as additional fundraising.
Keeping gross profit margins high;
Raising substantial percentages of revenue from grant sources to develop and maintain membership level;
Outreach is an important goal to reach various audiences.
The mission of the Miami Beach Film Society is to offer a cultural alternative to commercial film, to promote and celebrate the artistic elements of the medium, and to foster and promote the art and craft of filmmaking. Included in the mission will be special consideration for the cultural diversity of Miami Beach. The Cinematheque will be a base to utilize, enjoy, learn, and discover. It will also be a place where people can feel welcome and respected, and that focuses on the creation of new ideas and creativity.
MBFS has been organizing special events for many decades. This has been possible through collaboration with other cultural institutions and creative programming that takes advantage of the uniqueness and marketing skills of Miami Beach.
The Cinematheque’s products and services will complement its main mission to offer a cultural alternative to commercial film-going. Creativity and imagination will drive the quality of the merchandise and service offered by the Cinematheque. The result is a unique cinematheque experience. The Miami Beach Cinematheque’s experience will be unique. The Miami Beach Cinematheque will offer a variety of creative programming such as “/Food & Film – Movies To Eat For”, “/Yoga & Film”, and “/Cafe Con Cinema”. These programs combine the most interesting and provocative aspects from our varied local culture. They are complemented by high quality merchandise which serves as educational souvenirs as well as reference material.
Our core market for Cinematheque is the person who is passionate about cinema and appreciates alternative options to commercial offerings. This core market exists across all the main markets. We have detailed information in the Market Segmentation section. While our target markets are based primarily on the largest percentage of the pie, we would like to also develop smaller percentages. Therefore, certain markets are being targeted to provide that support.
There is no South Beach organization currently providing the services and focus that MBFS will offer for Miami Beach. The Cinematheque, which replaces The Alliance “’arthouse”’ Cinema on Lincoln Road, is filling a vital gap in alternative programming. They will be happy to learn that programming will be targeted at them, but with an entirely different package. To squeeze seven nights out from an audience that supports only one or two movies a night, we will include programming such as “Views From Underground” and “Foreign Film Fridays” in our programming program. These programming programs are targeted at niche markets and outreach to underserved audiences.
We have a clear direction because of our focus on film, and other related arts. We are the most trusted source for information about cinema and photography in Miami Beach. The Cinematheque will be the main venue for film appreciation, enrichment, and enjoyment of all the related arts and activities tied to the art of film. Marketing will place emphasis on the Cinematheque’s benefits and how to enjoy them. Through our diverse range of programs, a fresh experience for frequent visitors will provide an ongoing development in the appreciation, enjoyment, and education that the Cinematheque offers.
The key areas of our marketing strategy are membership development, The Cinematheque Newsletter development and other direct mails, telemarketing and on-site marketing.
MBFS launched a major fundraising campaign in order to help with the initial start-up costs of the Cinematheque. Each need will be strategically matched by a potential donor. It can start with construction costs and end with festival grants. The areas of fundraising include the Start-Up Donor Drive, grant development, fundraising events, hiring fundraising professionals, and sponsorship agreements, as well as research of other film festival operations.
The Miami Beach Cinematheque website, www.mbcinema.com, will show the creativity of the film society. All pages will be linked to strategic directional links to help with sales. The Miami Beach International Film Festival website will be separate, www.miamibeachfilmfestival.com, and the two sites will mutually benefit by being linked at many strategic points.
After being run for years by a Director as well as a Board of Directors, the Cinematheque’s opening will allow the expansion of the team to include an Operations manager. The Director will still assume this position until the need arises to make it paid. Volunteers will continue to be involved in many capacities. The volunteer Board is a key part of organizing this area. Each of them will play a part in the management of a particular area. As the Miami Beach International Film Festival’s (MBIFF) development approaches, the team will be ready to take on the larger project. Potential managers will also be available for paid positions when needed. The Director and Board will expand and develop the Board of Trustees (Trustees), a volunteer group that provides expert advice, donations of in kind, and products and/or services.
Founder and Director Dana Keith, Director of the Miami Beach Film Society since 1993 when he founded the non-profit organization, is uniquely qualified to run this project, which he has developed since incorporation. He has two bachelor’s degrees, one in Cinema (emphasizing film history, aesthetics, and criticism), and one in Fine Arts (emphasizing graphic arts with photography/photolithography), from the University of California, Santa Barbara. His film exhibition experience includes managing the Arlington Center for the Performing Arts in Santa Barbara and The Red Rock 11 Theatres. These theatres were once the largest in the world. His research for Cinematheques in Europe over a period of ten years has influenced his interest and helped him to develop the concept ideas for the Cinematheque and film society. Experts consider his collection of souvenir programmes from all over the globe covering the entire history and cinema to be one of the best in the world. It will be an important part of the Cinematheque’s marketing, education, and exhibition.
The Board of directors has been in place for years. They have served in many capacities and helped make MBFS a vital part of Miami Beach’s cultural scene. Actress Barbara Pergament –′ Chairman, Lucille Accella of Northwest Airlines –’ Secretary/Treasurer. Marybeth Smith with DeNiro Realty and Cristiane Roget, AP+Films International’s Legal Consultant, and Seth Finkel, Esq. – Legal Consultant have all been long time volunteer supporters, and will now be even more instrumental in the expansion of the Society, helping to develop the Board of Trustees, and helping to guide the organization.
In line for important positions on the team include future Programmers/Production Directors

Included in the mission will be special consideration for the cultural diversity of Miami Beach and the world, and the Cinematheque will serve as a base for the promotion of the inclusion of international elements, with the ultimate display being The Miami Beach International Film Festival. The Cinematheque will become the base for film and arts appreciation for a wide spectrum of local cultural communities and visitors alike. It will be a place to use, enjoy and learn.
