EcoAquatics is a hobbyist company started by a sophomore high school student. It’s sole purpose is to allow the owner to pursue an enjoyable hobby and turn it to a small part time business to provide her with economic benefits similar to those that students her age get from less rewarding part-time jobs.
EcoAquatics will manage saltwater aquariums for its clients. We will guide you through every step from setting up the tank, cleaning it, maintaining and feeding the fish. The client can either follow us step-by-step or just enjoy the final product, depending on their preference.
Our service can be used for a range of needs, from those who have never had an aquarium before and need step by step help, to someone who is an expert but does not have time to do everything. We will be honest with our clients so that they do not get something that does not work for them.
In the early stages of the business, the owner will focus on offering services to family and friends. Later, the company will expand to offer services to small businesses in the Eugene, Oregon area. This is a small hobbyist company so the startup costs are minimal. Start-up will be funded through an interest-free loan from a family friend. The loan will be repaid in year three.
EcoAquatics is registered in Oregon. They have been running the aquarium of their first client for four month as they write this business plan.
1.1 Mission
EcoAquatics is a hobbyist business intended to give its owner a way to develop environmentally-sound aquariums, sensitive to the potential ecological dangers of the aquarium hobby worldwide, on a small scale appropriate to a high school student’s infrastructure and reach. It should be fun, rewarding, full of learning, good for the clients, and good for the owner.
1.2 Keys for Success
Continue to keep your vision as a hobbyist business. You can only move slowly but appropriately up.
Be informed on the environmental impacts of home and workplace aquariums.
1.3 Objectives
Short-term, my primary goal is to build and maintain aquariums outside of our home. I have selected close clients who will help me with this. I don’t want to pretend this a full-time business with completely normal business motivations.
Long-term, I want to turn this into a business, which can provide me with a source of income while I am in high school and college.
Clean Office Pros is an office cleaning service that specializes in office cleaning. We serve the Kansas City, Missouri region. The business will provide office cleaning services for businesses of all sizes. Clean Office Pros seeks financing to purchase equipment and start the business.
The Company
Established in 2009, the business offers office cleaning, floor treatment, carpet cleaning, and window cleaning for businesses with office space in the Kansas City area. Paul Vinci, Reid Werbitt and other cleaning industry professionals, teamed up to form the business. The new strategy allows them to reach and serve their clients. The company will use trained cleaning crews to service clients and operate from a central office and storage space.
Services
Services offered will focus on basic office cleaning that is done monthly. Clients will be treated with the utmost respect for their privacy, security, or assets. Clean Office Pros will offer additional services to clients who have already established a relationship with Clean Office Pros. After three years, additional services for organization will be added. Both the products and their disposal methods will be eco-friendly.
The Market
The market currently includes 40,000 small-, medium-, and large office companies. Healthy growth is expected for this market, especially for small offices which will be the initial target market for the business. Small offices will help to build the company’s reputation and allow it to work with multiple clients.
Financial Results
The company expects to achieve $1 million annual sales by its second year and to begin paying dividends to investors partners within its first year. The net profit of $70,000 is expected to be realized in the first and second years. Partly because the management has experience with sales, marketing and operations, breakeven can be achieved quickly. Also, cleaning crews won’t be paid for hours worked. This reduces payroll risk.
Objectives
Clean Office Pros aspires to be a leader in office cleaning within the Kansas City, MO region. Specific objectives we will seek to meet over the next two years include:
To build a steady client base of 100 clients with monthly cleaning plans for over 800,000.00 square feet of office cleaning each year.

Cleaning must be completed according to client expectations.

Fescue & Sons Yard Care is a residential lawn care service targeting rural middle-class homes with large yards which the owners cannot care for well on their own. In the past three decades, the cost of housing in the urban area has risen significantly. Many of our target income families have decided to purchase larger parcels in the countryside instead of spending large amounts on tiny lots in the cities. Many people are not ready to care for large lawns and end up with tiny gardens around their house and large areas of overgrown land further away.
Fescue & Sons Yard Care was founded as a partnership owned equally by Red Fescue (owner) and Kikuyu Fescue (owner). For the last five years, Red has worked as head landscaper at ABC Landscaping. He has the knowledge and experience to manage his own business. Kikuyu is a graphic designer and master gardener. Her design skills will prove to be very valuable in creating the look for our marketing materials. Red will manage the company’s day-to-day operations while she continues to work at her current job.
Red will be the principal employee for the first year, with Rye as a part-time assistant. Rye was a part of Red’s ABC landscaping team and will continue working at Fescue & Sons this summer.
We will be hiring an additional landscaper to do seasonal work in the spring. If necessary, we may also hire another. In the middle-of-summer in Year 2, we’ll purchase additional equipment.
As a business that relies on seasonal profits, the summer revenues will be used to support the business in the winter. While we will only make a modest profit in our first year, we anticipate profits of over $8,000 and more than $10,000 in our second and third fiscal years.
1.1 Objectives
The following are our goals for the first 3 years of operation:
You will create a service-oriented company with the primary goal of exceeding customers’ expectations.
Get yard service contracts in at least 30 residential properties.
Increase our number of clients served by 3% per year.
Establish a viable home business that will be supported by its own cash flow.
1.2 Mission
Fescue & Sons Yard Care’s mission is to provide high-quality commercial and residential yard care services. To provide 100% customer satisfaction, we will work hard to retain and attract customers. We will meet and exceed customer expectations.
1.3 Keys for Success
Experienced landscaper with great customer service skills
In all tasks and situations, professionalism and commitment to quality
The company is small enough to allow direct supervision of all employees and projects.
Kid’#8217’s Community College(r), strives to train its students to become leaders of tomorrow. The college offers a unique curriculum designed specifically for children, as well as first-class childcare services. Our college offers advanced technology programs, tutoring after school, and other activities like arts and crafts, theatre, gymnastics, and dance.
Timothy Bernard Kilpatrick (Sr.) is the sole owner of Kid’s Community College. His computer science interest and advanced degree are the driving forces behind our technology component. He will be assisted in daily operations by an industry expert, a campus director and a Vice President of Educational Operations, all of whom have extensive experience with child care.
With inflation continuing to rise each year, the typical American family now requires dual or supplemental incomes. This trend has created the need for quality child-care services. The Riverview, Hillsborough County’s population growth rate is currently over 14.6%. We can anticipate an increase in market potential in this area. In the child care services sector, price, reputation, certification, quality, and service are key factors. Kid’’s Community College(r), is a competitive market player. We offer high-quality child care services at affordable prices and top-notch educational programs with college-educated teachers. We also maintain a great reputation among parents and the communities we serve.
This is Kid’8217’s Community College(r) daycare business plan. It will be focused on two subdivisions: “Lake St. Charles” and “The Villages of Lake St. Charles”, which are new, upscale communities within a 2-mile radius. They boast over 900 new homes. Our customers are middle-class, dual-income families that value the quality education and child care we offer their children.
Our first enrollment will be 13 students. We expect healthy revenues to be in place by the end the first year and nearly double that by the end the third. Our biggest operating expenses will be compensation at industry standard rates for our highly-qualified personnel, and rent on our facilities, improved for our purposes during the start-up period. We want to grow to four campuses but our plans are conservative and will be funded with cash flow. We expect a net income to begin in our second-year.
To these ends, we are putting significant investment in the business, and are seeking a matching amount in the form of an SBA loan.
Mission
“Some of the best years in life are the time spent as a child and later our collegiate years…” As working adults in a fast paced society, we sometimes forget just how precious and fleeting those years are.
With this in mind imagine an alternative for traditional infant, day, and after school care. A learning environment that is activity-based and reflects those at colleges, universities, vocational centers, and other institutions across the country. A college community of professional care givers with the credentials to not only enhance your child’s early social and motor skills, but to also teach them advanced studies in the arts and sciences found at institutions of higher learning. A fun and nurturing care-giving environment that teaches a college-based curriculum specifically for children.
Now, imagine that this is all you would pay for if you combined conventional daycare with specific interest-based children’s programs.
Kid’#8217;s Community College is a comprehensive, start-up community college for children ages 4 months to five years. It caters exclusively to children in the 1st-5th grades. The College is committed to providing top-quality caregiving services and a learning environment that encourages children of these ages.

The Advanced Science and Technology Institute is a support institute for research faculty and staff at **State University and University of AnyState. It also supports AnyState Health Sciences University and AnyCity State University in their management of new discoveries. This support covers the management, development and management of new discoveries with potential commercial applications.
** (Editor’’s Note : Names may be disguised for confidentiality.
1.1 Keys to Success
Stabilizing a strong support network with the private sector for State and Northwest.
Creating an effective network between researchers to facilitate cross-disciplinary contact.
ASTI should be considered a one-stop resource for all technology transferable that is being developed at the four largest universities in the State.
1.2 Mission
ASTI’s mission involves bringing technology from **State University and University of AnyState, AnyState Health Sciences University (AnyCity State University) into public use. It provides economic development assistance to federal agencies and companies that benefit State constituents. Additionally, it serves the technology transfer staff of each institution by providing support in identifying and protecting, developing, and transferring technology to private sector. ASTI’’s unique perspective comes from its ability to bring together researchers from multiple institutions in order to develop new technologies that can then go to the private sector.
Historically, State has received less attention from companies that develop long-term relationships with the university research community. State is located south of the University of AnyState and north of the SouthernState universities. This has made it difficult for the state to reach the viability required to attract the attention of companies from outside the state.
It’s an issue of scale economy. It is currently available for licensing at any of the following universities: AnyState University; University of AnyState; AnyState Health Sciences University; and AnyCity State University. One university in SouthernState, The University of Southern State (USS), has over 200 technologies available for licensing. USS received $20M in corporate research funding in the last year. This is more than the $3 million in total corporate research funding received by the four State schools during the same time period. The State Technology Center in State has received $91 million from private sources for technology transfer. It is vital that all four universities of State work together to draw corporate attention and support their excellent researchers.
It is ASTI’s mission to create a resource for the private sector that rivals USC by providing an aggressive one-stop center for all the pivotal research that is occuring in State.
1.3 Objectives
Create a 42-member corporate support council for research and to increase corporate membership in ASTI’s Technology Development Council by 20% each.
Facilitate 2 new industry sponsored research deals in the first 12 months and increase the number every year.
Create new research linkages between the four campuses and develop new collaborative relationships between researchers.
Develop a cross-disciplinary research database that will link researchers throughout the state.
Unite for Youth provides mentoring programs for middle- and high-school youth in the Greater Claremont. Unite for Youth’s goal, is to promote positive friendships and strong interpersonal skills among youth, and to reaffirm hope for the future.
In Brief
Unite for Youth, a non-profit agency that provides mentoring programs for high school and middle school students in the Greater Claremont region, is called Unite for Youth. The program will create partnerships with local school districts, the juvenile court system, and other organizations. Unite for Youth’s mission is to create a community of young people who will foster pro-social friendships and strong interpersonal skills. They also hope to reaffirm their faith in the future. A sense of individual responsibility can only be restored through interpersonal relationships. This will allow youth to take ownership of their future and feel proud of what they have accomplished.
After repeated failures at school and the development of harmful habits, at-risk teens have lost faith that they can achieve their goals if they succeed in putting their lives back together. In order to achieve this goal, young adults must be in a nurturing, inclusive learning environment where they can give their best effort and show respect.
Unite for Youth, a program designed to help young people who are either not able to attend school or have been involved with the juvenile courts system, is an initiative. The program’s goal is to identify young people who will face a difficult transition into adulthood and provide positive support to help them avoid any pitfalls. The focus is slightly different at each level but the goal remains the same; empower the young person to make positive changes in his/her life.
Unite for Youth will primarily focus on middle school youths. The system expects that half of its students will be in middle schools within three years. This age group is especially problematic and provides the perfect opportunity for mentoring to be successful.
Unite for Youth’s mentoring programs will pair a youth with mentor for 12 months. They will then participate in weekly planned activities designed to strengthen their relationship and boost the young person’s hopefulness and confidence. Mentors will be provided with ongoing training and will report on the progress of the young person at a monthly meeting.
Unite for Youth, over time, will become a resource for young people as well as mentors and the larger community.
Why Us
Unite for Youth, a program designed to help young people who are either not able to attend school or have been involved in juvenile court. The program’s goal is to identify young people who will face a difficult transition into adulthood and provide positive support to help them avoid any pitfalls. While each level may have a different focus, the goal remains the similar: empower the young person in order to make positive improvements in his/her lives.
