Teachers’ Employment Agency Business Plan


Teachers


Teacherafterschooljobs.com is a new job search website that is designed to provide teachers with part-time or seasonal employment, supplementing their current income. It will facilitate the matching of responsible, mature and educated educators with employers seeking their part time or summer employment. While the revenue will come from the employer listing fees, Teacherafterschooljobs.com will have two general customers, the employers as well as the employees in search of the jobs. In addition to having a robust job board on their site, Teacherafterschooljobs.com will also offer tools for the educators, often consisting of a large list of useful hyperlinks. This adds additional functionality to the site, which encourages more traffic.

The Market

It is well-known the educators are dedicated professionals that work at lower wages than the market. For a multitude of reasons, teachers are paid poorly in America. This is why a large number of teachers are seeking supplemental income. As mentioned previously, Teacherafterschooljobs.com will be receiving revenue from the employer listing fees. Targeted markets will include four distinct segments. The first is retail which has an annual growth rate of 50%. Teacherafterschooljobs.com believes there to be 50 potential customers in this segment. Next is the government, which has a 50% growth rate as well as 40 potential customers. Private daycare and camps have a 25% increase rate and can be accessed by 20 customers. Education will be the last segment that is targeted. It has a 10% growth rate with 20 customers.

Competitive Edge

Teacherafterschooljobs.com has a unique pool of prospective employees, all of the employees are professional educators who have skill sets centered on education, professionalism, and the passion and dedication commonly associated with teachers. This is a distinct advantage over other online job boards like Monster and Hotjobs, which have very different cross-sections of job seekers. Employers who post jobs will be attracted to companies that have a strong candidate pool.

Management

Teacherafterschooljobs.com will be developed and run by Patrice and Rosario Cibella. Rosario and Patrice, both of whom have more than a decade experience in education. They were both passionate teachers over many years. But they saw the enormous potential of an internet job board that offers seasonal and part-time opportunities for educators. Patrice was a teacher in the eleventh grade for 12 years in a local school district. Patrice was the head of social studies for four years. Patrice was the department chairperson and honed her management and strategic focus skills. She led the department to being recognized as one the best in the state. Rosario has also a background as an educator, but his role was also administrative. He served as vice principal at his school for six year. Rosario, as vice principal, was directly responsible to the school’s operations. This experience will be directly applied in leading Teacherafterschooljobs.com to become the premier specialized online job board.

Teacherafterschooljobs.com is poised for success by combining a solid business model with a huge market potential and a solid management team. The venture will be profitable in the first month, with modest gross margins in year one and a slight increase in year three. Teacherafterschooljobs.com is forecasted to achieve a minimal gross profit by the end of year three.

1.1 Objectives

The main objectives for the company are as follows:

  1. Attract a minimum of 100 employers subscribing for a year of job listings.
  2. You can also attract related links that will provide additional reasons for educators to access the site.
  3. Use the increased traffic to attract additional employers to finance expansion of the Web page offerings.

1.2 Mission

Teacherafterschooljobs.com seeks to provide a concise and reliable site for employers and teachers to fulfill mutual needs. Employers are looking for reliable workers to fill a particular need for seasonal and part-time employees. Teachers, who are typically underpaid professionals, need supplemental income to support their chosen profession. The company seeks to provide a much needed resource to maintain quality educators, while at the same time increasing the profitability of retailers and service providers by reducing their turnover rates.


Wrestling Entertainment Business Plan


Wrestling Entertainment Business Plan


The current era of professional wrestling is hotter than ever. Professional wrestling has been the focus of 7 of the Top 10 Cable TV Shows each week over the past year. Jay Leno, Tonight Show host asked Shaquille Olsen, NBA Superstar Shaquille Neal, his favorite thing on television. Shaq quickly responded, “professional wrestling.”

The NBC Television Network announced the results of a national survey last February in which it listed the “top viewer sports” in America as:

  1. National Football League
  2. Professional Wrestling
  3. Major League Baseball
  4. National Basketball Association.

Professional wrestling is true family entertainment with demographics ranging from ages 3 to 93, 40% female, and very heavy in the 21 to 49-year old male market as well. A total of 35 million people also watch professional wrestling every week on television. Millions more attend sold-out arenas to see it in real life.

The World Wrestling Federation is led by Vince McMahan Jr. as president, while Ted Turner owns World Championship Wrestling.

TV Guide has forecast that the WWF and WCW will both make $550 millions this year. Vince McMahan made the WWF public in the first quarter and raised another $250 million. McMahan has been making so much money, he recently declared that he was starting his own professional football team (The Extreme Football League), in an attempt to be competitive with the National Football League.

There is a wide gap between the top two pro-wrestling organizations and all others at this moment. The closest to being third is a small group out of New York/Philadelphia calling itself Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). ECW fails to have mass appeal and profit potential because of its extremely violent and “hardcore” nature. ECW’s ratings for their weekly Friday television program on The Nashville Network (TNN) have hovered below the 1.0 mark, while TNN has promised their advertisers a 2.5 rating. IWA Championship Wrestling’s (IWA) goal and mission is to create a family-oriented television program and live events that maximize its appeal for viewers, advertisers, and those who are attending &#8220:live events and paying pay-per view.

It is the goal of the IWA to become the #3 pro wrestling organization in the industry within three years, while, at the same time, making a minimum of 10% of the current monies being made by the #2 organization (WCW) or, approximately $35 million per year, with projected costs of approximately one quarter that amount, thus creating a viable, profitable scenario for all of those involved.

1.1 Objectives

IWA Championship Wrestling has set the following objectives to be achieved during over first three years of expansion and growth:

  1. Be the third most popular professional wrestler organization in the industry.
  2. Secure a national cable television contract for a weekly one-hour program.
  3. Start producing the weekly, hour-long pro wrestling program.
  4. You must recruit top talent from the past and find new talent to help you develop writers and managers.
  5. Distribute and syndicate television programming around the world.
  6. Promote live event tours in areas with television programming.

1.2 Mission

IWA Championship Wrestling plans to create a family-oriented television network for both domestic and international distribution. The television program will be supported by live events tours. These additional revenues will come from:

  • Quarterly Pay-Per-View Events
  • Advertising revenues and sponsorships
  • Merchandising souvenirs and concession items and a variety of videos available for sale via live events and mail order.
  • Creation of an IWA Professional Wrestling School .
  • Engagement fees for IWA talent: Personal appearance fees

Within three years, the IWA is expected to be the number 3 professional wrestling organisation and a major industry player. Our programming will consistently receive TV ratings in the 2.0 to 2.5 range, and we will have used major established stars to entice viewers and fans to tune in while, at the same time, developed outstanding new talent from within.

The IWA is poised to compete for the second most coveted position in the industry, currently held by WCW, within five years and generate about $35 million annually in revenues.

The IWA will focus its appeal on filling the huge void in professional wrestling. It will provide ‘#8220family-oriented&#8221 and ‘#8220family friendly&#8221 professional sports entertainment programming and live events. The IWA is committed to family values and will appeal to more people than just hardcore fans.

There is currently no pro wrestling programming. The WWF and WCW are the only options for fans, and they look identical in format and design. It is part of the weekly television programming that emphasizes extreme violence, vulgarity as well as disrespect for women and authority.

Extreme Championship Wrestling, which is currently available on the Nashville Network (TNN), is the only alternative to WWF or WCW programming. It appeals only to the extreme, hardcore fan.

IWA fans will be encouraged encourage their children and grandchildren to follow our programming. The IWA will return ‘#8220;rasslin’ to professional wrestling and place more emphasis on talent, skill and ability than the twisted, demented stories currently in fashion with other organizations.

It makes strong business sense to appeal to the majority or masses of wrestling fans who range in age from 3 to 93, are 40% female, and very strong in the 21 to 49-year old male segment of the population. Pro wrestling need not be just for kids … or just for the hardcore extreme. The IWA will be able to tap into the ‘#8220’ main stream and will generate maximum profits.

Recycling Energy Conversion Business Plan


Recycling Energy Conversion Business Plan


Objective

Many landfills nationwide are closing down or exhausting the remaining capacity. However, environmental restrictions, Zoning Laws, and other bureaucratic delays mean that pitifully few new landfills will open to compensate for this space crisis. Despite this, municipal waste continues to grow in volume. The problem of managing the nation’s trash stream is a major concern for many municipalities. The national landfill capacity crisis is rapidly approaching as more waste is created every day. Landfills are like owning a reverse mine of gold.

Good Earth Resources, Inc. has been created to address the municipal waste problem in St. Louis, Missouri and to capitalize on the lucrative opportunities of owning fully permitted landfills.

Operation

There are four components in this operation: purchase two landfills; sort and recycle incoming waste; import an out-of-state waste stream; and convert landfill gas to either electricity or a fuel alternative.

GER will purchase two landfills: one in Eastern Missouri, Martin Creek Landfill, and one at Barton Sanitary Landfill in Southern Illinois. Both landfills lie near St. Louis. The initial waste stream will come from the St. Louis Area.

Both landfills will sort all waste and remove recyclables. The rest of the waste will then be compacted, bagged, and buried at the landfills. Today, only 10% percent of landfills nationwide can perform these functions. The rest prefer to dump their raw waste in landfills, thus ignoring a significant source.

GER will accept waste direct from customers, send its own trucks to transport more distant materials, and haul waste by rail from New York City and Chicago. Hauling Missouri waste assures GER a steady waste stream, independent of other sources, to meet its income projections in the first month of operations. GER plans to accept 1,540 tons daily in its first month of operations.

Unique Features

At the landfills, incoming trash will be dumped in receiving facilities to contain waste vapours, control vectors and house machinery. The waste is transported onto conveyers where employees sort all metals, paper, cardboard, and glass. These will be sold at a significant profit and the rest of the waste will be compressed into two-thirds cubic yards bales. Bales will then be stored in a large PVC wrapped cell at the landfill to capture the methane gas. Most landfills don’t do this.

Baling organic waste and removing recyclable materials adds significant value to GER&#8217’s asset base, which is the permitted property. It reduces the landfill’s volume, increasing the landfill’s life. Additionally, recycling can increase gross revenues.

Landfill Valuation

Landfills can be valued by the volume in cubic yards of waste (—air yardsâ€TM) that can safely be deposited within the designated area. By compacting, the deposited volume is increased five-fold. Martin Creek’s permit allows it to take in 3,612,000 cubic feet. It covers 42 acres. A landfill could be filled in six years if 2,000 cubic feet of loose waste was buried every day without compaction. Recycling, compacting, and baling reduces the landfill’s size to 2,000 yards. The landfill can also be extended for 32 years by extending its life span to 220 cubic yards. This increases both value as well as gross income.

The current fee per waste cubic yard in St. Louis is $11.33 ($34.00/ton). In 6+ years, $35,328,000 can be generated from 42 acres of loose waste at 2,000 cubic yards/day. You can reuse the same area for 32 years, generate $176,640,000 per day, or increase your daily volume by compacting, baling, and recycling. The cost of sorting and compacting is minimal in comparison to the value increase. Recyclables help offset these costs.

Company Objectives

Anticipating waste hauler agreements, GER expects that GER will collect 940 tonnes daily for Barton within the first month of operation. This generates over $5,500,000 in annual revenues. Martin Creek can transport an additional 600 tons per hour to Barton. Investors can expect to receive a high annual return, as well as ownership of a profitable business that pays dividends within the first one year.

Principals from GER will find other sources to boost this projected waste stream. They may look into New York City or Chicago as well as other large metropolitan areas. Rail spurs are part of this plan and, once operational, will facilitate the incoming flow of waste from distant cities.

Within twelve months of commencing operations, GER will collect the methane gas and convert it to saleable energy in the form of either electricity sold into the national grid or methanol for sale as a gasoline alternative. This will help increase annual revenues.

Management

GER’s principals, who are highly skilled in every aspect of business, founded this company to fulfill the growing demand for St. Louis landfills and to make it a profitable business.

Don Smith, the co-founder of GER has extensive experience in waste collection and landfill operation. He operated three of Chicago’s major landfills during the mid 1980s, as well as one in Gary, Indiana. Later, he managed a hazardous-waste facility in Scott City. His expertise in working with the Department of Natural Resources resulted in the landfill permit that the property now possesses. In 1984, he operated a municipal solid waste transfer station in Wellston.

John App is co-founder of GER. With a strong background as a marketer and in finance, he will concentrate his efforts on developing outside-state waste streams from New York City. App, who has owned and operated many businesses over the years, was elected to Orange County California Board of Education in 1974 and a founding member of Orange County California Marine Institute at Dana Point.

G. Calvin Rathbone Esq. serves as corporate counsel to GER and with a strong sales background, will also assist in developing out of state waste stream sources. Previous experience with Mr. Rathbone includes managing sales and marketing for an equipment company for the exploration and production oil and gas.

General Plan of Action

The principals are looking for a $16,469 951 net investment to:

  1. Both Martin Creek and Barton dumps are available for purchase.

  2. The hauling of waste will increase the daily stream of waste to Barton landfill.

  3. Barton has the ability to install sorting and compacting machines that will maximize the life of landfills.

  4. Complete the construction of Martin Creek landfill.

  5. You can lease or buy the machinery and vehicles you need for your operations.

  6. To collect trash in Missouri cities you will need to build two transfer points.

  7. You can increase your revenues by using methane.

1.1 Objectives

  1. Six million dollars in sales, with 600 tonnes per day for Martin Creek.

  2. Barton Recycling Facility to be constructed with at most one compactor/baler, and enough room for expansion to up two.

  3. Construct Martin Creek landfill.

  4. Purchase property to buy land and renovate an old abandoned rail spur close to Barton landfill. Construction will take approximately ninety days.

  5. Continue to market Martin Creek and Barton by contacting and soliciting business from additional cities and hauling firms, including out-of-state sources.

1.2 Mission

In the instance where some waste haulers would normally direct waste to other landfills, GER will haul that waste from certain designated transfer stations to either of its two landfills. Both the parties will benefit from this as it will lower GER customers’ costs and will provide GER an additional waste stream through GER&#8217’s more efficient transportation.

All recyclable materials will be removed and sold by GER. GER will take used tires from vehicles to make income at the landfills. The operation is a win-win situation for both the environment and cash flow. The principals in GER will use every resource to ensure the protection of the environment.

1.3 Keys for Success

  1. Focus on bringing as much waste to Martin Creek or Barton as possible.

  2. It is important to process the waste stream efficiently and profitably. Reduce stoppages and time.

  3. Operate landfill operations as efficiently and safely to maximize profits while preserving the environment.

  4. Keep a family atmosphere for all GER staff, customers, and co-workers.
