OutReSources, Inc. is a consulting firm that specializes in the development and delivery of training products in both regional and statewide markets. OutReSources, Inc. offers a reliable and high-quality alternative for in-house resources to health care providers for market development, business development, and training.

OutResources will initially be established as a Greenstate DBA firm under the umbrella Flowstone, Inc., based at the Central County area in Greenstate, the heartland of Greenstate’s growth and population.

OutReSources will target state health care providers and tailor its services to them. OutResources will have to establish itself as a real consultancy and training company. This is a relatively risky purchase.

There are several types of industry competition. Most significant is the choice by companies and agencies to conduct business development and training internally rather than outsourcing. You will also find resources for training and development from both the state and non-profit sector. Many of these companies are broad-based and don’t specialize in a particular market. Furthermore, they are often hampered by a flawed organizational structure that does not provide the most experienced people for the client’s projects. OutReSources’#8217 advantage is that it provides high quality consulting to integrate theory with practice and work with clients to achieve their goals.

OutReSources will be priced at the upper edge of what the market will bear. OutReSources’ overall positioning as an expert in high-level knowledge will guide the pricing. Sales are estimated to be substantial and an excellent cash balance in the first year.

The company’s founders include former and current health service providers. They are all from the ‘#8220’ fee-for–service markets we will target. They are founding OutReSources to formalize the consulting services they already offer. OutReSources will have working partners, based mainly on Flowstone, Inc. In the beginning we assume three partners, Khallie Locharnold and Soren Aboukir (from Flowstone Inc.) and Yuriatin Guadalquivir.

The firm estimates healthy profits by the first year with a commensurate net profit margin. The company doesn’t anticipate cash flow problems.

1.1 Objectives

OutResources has several goals for the initial year.

  1. Establish and implement a training system that targets both for profit and non-profit providers of fee-for-services in health care.
  2. Develop a service to support providers of health care who are still within these confines.
  3. Create a company with low overheads and liability to maximize net profit margins.

1.2 Mission

Our mission will be to raise standards for health care services by improving skills, abilities and efficiency of those providing them. We are interested in educating and training those who provide health services. They will be reimbursed and regulated through the state governing agency. We are transitional educators and trainers for those who have the education but not the experience.

    Administrative Service Business Plan


    Administrative Service Business Plan


    Everywhere Assistant, a start-up virtual assistant business, is now available. The company is a sole proprietorship with Sadie Clark as the founder and sole employee. The company was established and will be serving a variety of geographic customer segments.

    The Market

    Everywhere Assistant identified three distinct market segments that should be targeted. The first segment is companies of various sizes. It is common to see large-scale corporate downsizing during the current business climate. Everywhere Assistant can benefit from this as people in the company will be busier than ever due to the downsizing. Typical in a downsizing climate there is the outsourcing of projects/jobs that the current staff cannot handle. Everywhere Assistant believes the majority of their business (relatively speaking to other segments) will be from these companies.

    Individuals make up the second segment. This is an attractive segment because as our daily lives become busier and busier we have less and less free time. One way to make more time is to use a virtual assistant (VA). The services that are provided to individuals are likely to be more tedious than those offered to companies.

    Last, but not least, are not-for-profit organizations. These organizations are largely because they do not have excess capital. They have therefore tried to maximize the employee’s tasks and responsibilities. This means most employees are quite busy. Organizations don’t have employees that can handle random tasks. VA’s are able to quickly and seamlessly assume responsibility for tasks. This saves money for companies as they pay only for the labor to complete the task.



    Everywhere Assistance offers many different services. Most of the services offered are administrative in nature. These include data entry and mailing list updates. These services will be billed at the lower end, between $25 and $45 Services that require higher skill levels, such as graphic design, marketing, or accounting, will be billed closer to the top. There will also be travel arrangements and concierge services that fall somewhere in the middle. Services offered will include things the customer cannot do or would rather have someone else do.

    Competitive Edge

    Most VA services require secretarial skills. They are jobs that an administrative assistant can handle. Everywhere Assistant will be using their competitive edge of a wide range of skills to their fullest. Everywhere Assistant offers clients many technical skills, including proficiency in QuickBooks Pro for accounting, PageMaker graphic design, and marketing and research skills. This competitive advantage is important because clients who have found a VA are more likely to stay with them than to find another one (assuming they are satisfied with the service and product). The problem occurs when the client is happy with the VA but needs work on a project that the VA does not have skills in, consequently, the client must look elsewhere. A VA (Everywhere Assistant), who has a wider range of skills, is able to provide more value to clients.

    Everywhere Assistant, which is a virtual assistant business model, offers a wide range customer services remotely using the internet. This business model is extremely efficient. It will provide Sadie with a steady income and allow her to choose when and how to work. The revenue forecast predicts that revenues will rise in year two and three, with the corresponding increases in net profit.

    1. Keys to Success

    • Offer a wide range of services allowing Everywhere Assistant to handle any type of task.
    • So last-minute projects can still be completed, it is important to keep your schedule flexible.
    • Assure accurate billing and estimates for your project.

    1.2 Mission

    Everywhere Assistant’s mission is to provide the best administrative assistant services available from remote locations. Everywhere Assistant will be able handle a variety of tasks with professionalism and trust that is rare in today’s world. Everywhere Assistant will surpass customer expectations.

    1.3 Objectives

    • To generate over $35,000 in the first year.
    • To develop enough income to make the job full time position.
    • Because there are sufficient word of mouth opportunities to stay busy, it is possible to lower marketing expenses.

Jerseys will reach profitability by the end of year one and will modestly generate profits for future years.

    The market for sports collectibles, especially jerseys, is vast. From young children to mature adults, collectors come in all ages. With the growing popularity of eBay, sport collectible trading has become even more popular with a much more open market. Jerseys have divided the market into two segments, children and adult. The children are more interested in football and baseball jerseys, while the adults are more interested in all three.

    Soap Manufacturer Business Plan


    Soap Manufacturer Business Plan


    SAFEassure, LLC, designed a product that gives managers an affordable, quick, and easy way to keep track of employee hand washing. Proper hand washing is a preventative measure that can be used to eliminate communicable illnesses.

    Poor hand washing results in more than 130,000 American deaths every year from the spread of communicable diseases to other people in restaurants, daycares, and hospitals. (More than AIDS combined). Studies have shown that proper handwashing in these settings could reduce spread of disease by up 75%. This problem is mainly due to the inability of supervisors to supervise and manage employee handwashing. Existing products do not offer affordable and effective ways to enforce hand washing standards. Each year, Americans spend over $95 Billion on preventable diseases. (www.webmd.com)

    SAFEassure, LLC, the first producer, has proven that soap can be used to wash hands. After washing occurs, the unique dye in our soap remains on the hands and fades to the skin’s natural color in under six minutes. This would allow supervisors to conclusively verify at a glance whether hand washing has taken place. This product is unique in that it offers such high standards of sanitation compliance. This soap is safe and conforms to all FDA regulations.

    The Market

    Day cares are the best place to start our product. Hospitals and restaurants have a huge market for it. Day cares are a great market as they have a strong interest in reducing disease transmission among children and parents. Family Practice News says that daycare centers are “sophisticated little germ factories,” exchanging bacteria and virus with the mere touch of a hand or sharing a toy. Many of those bugs spread to home, where they can infect others.

    (http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/deanfulltexttopics.cfm?id=15538)

    The Company

    SAFEassure, LLC’s founding team is strong and the board of advisors are experienced. Jack Soap is our primary advisor and has twenty years of industry experience. He also has a network of relationships that will help accelerate the product’s market penetration. SAFEassure, LLC plans to outsource soap production to an existing soap producer. The executive team will first target the Portland Metro area and eventually the greater Northwest using direct sales and existing distributor channels to penetrate the market. Initial capital will be used to patent, approve, produce, market, and support the operation of SAFEassure for the first year.

    SAFEassure, LLC will use three simple strategies to reach our goals of growth.

    • With a unique product, you can take advantage of the first mover advantage in a highly fragmented industry.
    • Develop a strong branding campaign to build awareness, positive perception and sales of our products within our target markets.
    • Continue to develop products that meet the ever-growing needs of our customers.

    Based on detailed financial projections, SAFEassure, LLC will require $250,000 in start-up capital, but will generate positive cash flow in October, Year 1. The company will have $850,000 in sales by Year 3. It will also be making a significant net profit. SAFEassure, LLC provides investors with a company that has significant growth potential, but is also stable in terms of revenue generation.

    Mission

    Our mission is to create value for customers and shareholders by continually improving health and reducing preventable illnesses through the use of our soap.

    Keys to Success

    • To promote SAFEassure’s products and establish its standard for hand washing compliance, this campaign was a first-mover branding campaign.
    • Patent protection protects our time sensitive dye and product idea from other competitors.
    • Complementary relationships with organizations interested in increasing hand washing compliance.

    Objectives

    • By February 1st, create a complete prototype that meets regulatory standards
    • Be the specialty soap of choice in Northwest day cares by December Year 2.
    • By the end of year 6, sales will have reached $5 million

    Pallet Manufacturer Business Plan


    Pallet Manufacturer Business Plan


    Although the scrap tire recycling industry has existed for many years, it is still in its initial stages. Less than 20% of all scrap tires are processed. About 10% of the scrap tires are used for power generation. But, air quality is always a concern because scrap tires, just like coal, are a dirty fuel. About 4% export our scrap tires to countries where the casings can be used in retread machines or the tires are sold as they are. Currently, about 2% of our scrap tires can be processed into crumb Rubber and used in modified rubberized asphalt applications. This creates a durable and longer-lasting asphalt surface.

    Scrap tires are a health hazard as they provide food for rodents, snakes and mosquitoes. This problem is serious, as scrap tires are generated in the USA annually at around 250 million. There are currently piles that amount to between 2-3 billion.

    ATP-Advanced Technology Pallets a Nevada Corporation (ATP), is proud to present its unique and patented product the RST-PAL Pallet, a new pallet made from recycled scrap tire rubber.

    ‘#8212’ RST-PAL Pallets MANUFACTURED OUT RECYCLED SCRAP TIRES


    HELPING TO CLEAN UP AMERICA’S SCRAP TIRES

    1.1 Mission

    ATP is a manufacturing and marketing company dedicated to providing to all industries cost effective and durable pallets made from recycled scrap tires. The product and manufacturing process are protected by patents worldwide.

    Pallet users include both companies and individuals who use pallets for main distribution. They want a pallet that is more durable and lasts longer than wooden pallets. According to the National Wooden Pallet and Container Association, a wooden pallet can be used for one to two trips before it needs to be replaced or repaired. Due to their short life cycles, pallet users must purchase pallets more frequently.

    Stockpiles of scrap tires throughout the United States pose a serious environmental risk. They provide habitat for rodents and insects, as well as a potential fire hazard.

    ATP will reduce risks from scrap tire stocks and will conserve some of 3.5 million trees annually harvested to produce wooden pallets. ATP will locate its manufacturing plants in rural towns, near large metropolitan areas, where employment is needed the most.

    ATP will make profits and give excellent returns to its investors, while financing aggressive growth to increase production every year. ATP will maintain a fair and friendly work environment that values diversity, product improvements, hard work, and fairness.

    1.2 Objectives

    1. Two production lines to be established at the Stamford, Texas plant. This will allow for the production of 1.2 million pallets annually.
    2. For years 2-5, to increase production by opening two more lines of production every year.
    3. Target market share at 0.15% for the first year of production and to 0.75% by the fifth year. 800 million pallets are produced and sold each year in the U.S.
    4. One year projected market shares of 0.15% are expected to result in net profits of $8million (before taxes), and 0.

    Net profits of $66million will be achieved by 75% of the market share for year five. Accumulated profits (before taxes) are projected to be $173 million for the first five years of production.

  • ATP will exploit America’s urgent need to find solutions for its scrap tire issues and establish plants at different locations.
  • License agreements can be used to develop foreign markets, particularly in Europe and Far East where there are similar problems with scrap tires.
  • 1.3 Keys to Success

    These are the main reasons ATP is a success:

    • A pallet market exists in the United States that is currently worth more than 800 million pallets annually. It is estimated that about 60% of all pallets in the United States are hardwood. These are ATP&#8217’s most targeted customers.
    • RST PAL pallets have lower lifecycle costs than either wooden or plastic.
    • RST PAL pallets are protected by patents, can carry over 15 times the weight of wooden pallets, and are almost indestructible.
    • For years, RST-PAL pallets will be guaranteed
    • Pallets have been around for a long time and are therefore a very well-known, essential product. It is not necessary to create a new product in order to get into the market. RST PAL pallets don’t represent a new product. However, they are far better, more durable and more long-lasting than other similar products on the market. The advertising and marketing costs will remain low as the RST-PAL pallets are introduced to pallet users through trade shows and conventions, with ATP’s sales representatives located in targeted marketing regions. Dallas/Fort Worth is the first targeted marketing area, located near Stamford, Texas.
    • The U.S. government has issued an executive order requiring all government agencies and contractors to ‘#8220buy recycled before”. This includes the Department of Defense as well as the Department of Transportation. ATP will target federal and state agencies to market RST-PAL pallets.
