Inspirational Grounds will provide a relaxing, Christian-focused, neighborhood-centered place with freshly roasted coffee, specialty drinks, good books, and music. This is why Inspirational Gardens is the solution to an ever-growing demand. Our target market needs:
- South Central Minneapolis neighborhood business
- Coffee at an affordable price
- A social space where you can meet people with like interests
Inspirational Grounds’#8217’s goal is for the community to have a social, entertainment atmosphere in which Christian neighbors can meet one another in a neutral, nondenominational setting.
Inspirational Grounds has been incorporated as a S corporation. This will shield the owner from issues of personal liability and double taxation.
This proposal is prepared to obtain financing in the amount of $80,000. Additional financing is needed to purchase equipment and prepare the site. The business owner will invest $15,000 from her own pocket.
Inspirational Grounds is able to successfully open its doors and continue operations thanks to this financing. Inspirational Grounds’ large initial capital investment will enable them to provide quality products and an inviting environment for their customers. It is essential to create an environment that encourages socialization and provides customers with a comfortable, unique, innovative environment. Inspirational Grounds’ first year will prove to be successful and will give it a customer base that will make it self-sufficient by year two.
Even with our conservative sales forecasts we can maintain a positive cashflow in all months, repay the loans in 12 years and have a positive net worth of more than $27,000 by year three. Over the next three year, we expect our net profit to rise from $12,000 and above $14,000.

1.3 Mission
The local coffee shop can be a great addition to your church, offering excellent fresh roasted coffee and non denominational Christian books and tapes. Inspirational grounds is a specialty beverage company that provides freshly roasted coffee beans, coffee/espresso drink and information to enhance our customers’ spiritual experience. We know that people who are interested in spiritual growth need a destination and not just a place to go. Therefore, we offer them both.
Our vision is to be the destination of choice for Christian coffee drinkers in search of a non-secular atmosphere in the Twin Cities. Inspirational Grounds welcomes all ages to its unique, innovative, educational, motivational, and elegant environment.
We believe it’s important to be involved in the community and make an impact on our customers’ lives beyond the sale of specialty drinks.
