Franchise Sandwich Shop Business Plan


Franchise Sandwich Shop Business Plan


This business plan is designed to raise additional long-term financing to open a QSR (Quick Service Retail), franchise in Ashland. To fund inventory and operations, the company’s owners are willing and able to invest $30,000 as well as take over $110,000 in short-term risk. We are seeking a SBA 504 loan in the amount $200,000 and, if approved, it will be amortized for 10 years.

The fastest-growing franchise in North America, “The Sub Shop Corp 8221”, is the franchiser. Sales reached $800,000,000 last year. The chain is somewhere between traditional fast-food restaurants and sit down restaurants. This segment of the market is attuned to the health benefits of their eating habits, are more conscious of their buying habits than the general population, and more importantly, they have higher incomes and are willing to pay more for a better fast food choice. Our goal is to make Ashland Metro the best in fast food.

To help us achieve our goals and promote a healthy lifestyle, local sporting events will be sponsored and 3% profit will go to local charities. We will become a part of the community. We will market our products in local businesses, including the Shakespearean Festival.

Our primary goal for this plan is that it help us secure this $200,000 SBA loan. Once we’ve done that, the next step will be to increase value for our constituents, employees, customers and the community. We see these goals as being consistent with the goals the SBA expects of itself and its guarantors.

1.1 Objectives

Our first objective is opening the Franchise restaurant in four months after our site has been confirmed by the realtor. Our site was approved in April. We aim to have the restaurant open by August. Our P&L, Balance Sheet and Balance Sheet all start in August. You can find out more about start-up costs in the Startup Summary Section.

At the start of our second fiscal years of operation, The Sub Shop will make a profit.

We will pay down our $200,000 SBA loan to $180,000 by the end of year one.

Repeat customers will constitute 70% of our overall business by the end of year one. We will collect data from a local marketing agency to determine customer loyalty, and then publish the results to our employees every quarter.

The net profit for the first year will be 21%.

1.2 Mission

Our mission is bring Ashland’s best fast food to the public at a fraction of the cost of other restaurants. Our reputation as the best fast food restaurant in Ashland will be established by our high standards for quality and cleanliness.

Profits are just as important as our community. We will dedicate 2% of our profits towards a local women&#8217’s shelter, while 1% will go to a local environment conservation fund. The company was founded on the belief that good works and good deeds will not only help the community but also ensure the company’s health and success.

1.3 Keys of Success

Your location is crucial to your success. It is very important that our location live up to our expectations, and is convenient to as many potential customers as possible. As stipulated by the franchise agreement, our “Type A – Profile 1” location must contain a minimum of 6,000 customers within a four block radius (or five minute walk time). The pedestrian traffic must be adequate and the lunch habits of the customers must be conducive to eating out.

We must be able to execute our plan. This is the key to our success. If we neglect one or more aspects of our plan, whether that is our numbers, our employees, our cleaning and food standards, or our commitment to customers, we will not succeed and thrive.

Coffee Shop Business Plan


Opportunity

Problem

Not only do people living near the University of Oregon want coffee, tea, pastries or snacks, they also need a place to relax, have a group discussion or just sit and read. It is now available near the University of Oregon campus. However, it is too crowded and does not provide the right combination of factors.

Solution

Java Culture coffee bar is determined to become a daily necessity for local coffee addicts, a place to dream of as you try to escape the daily stresses of life and just a comfortable place to meet your friends or to read a book, all in one.

Market

Java Culture will target university students and faculty, as well as people working in coffee bars near their offices. According to our market research, these are the most likely customer groups to buy gourmet coffee products. Since gourmet coffee consumption is universal across different income categories and mostly depends on the level of higher education, proximity to the University of Oregon campus will provide access to the targeted customer audience.

Competition

Java Culture’s direct competitors will be other coffee bars located near the University of Oregon campus. These include Starbucks, Cafe Roma and The UO Bookstore.

Why Us?

Good coffee, pastries, additional tea options, very welcoming atmosphere.

Expectations

Forecast

As shown below, we plan to grow as derived from our sales forecast. We aim to maintain an industry-standard 60% gross profit margin and reasonable operating expenses, and to produce reasonable profits in the second and third year.

Financial Highlights by Year

You will need financing

The owners will invest $140,000 and take out a bank loan for $30,000 to cover the start-up expenses and assets needed plus deficient spending in the early months.

$27,000 is the start-up cost.

  • Legal costs for obtaining licenses, permits, and accounting services total $1,300
  • Marketing promotion expenses for Java Culture’s grand open were $3,500. Flyer printing (2,040 copies at $0.04 each) was also included in the total of $3,580.
  • ABC Espresso Services paid $3,000 to consultants for their assistance with setting up the coffee shop.
  • The total premium for insurance (general liability, workers&#8217’s compensation and property accident) is $2,400
  • Pre-paid rent expenses for one month at $1.76 per square feet in the total amount of $4,400.
  • Renovation of the premises in the amount $10,000
  • Other expenses include stationery (500 USD) and phone/utility deposits (2500 USD).

These expenses will be incurred before launch, so they take their place in our financial projections as negative retained earnings of $27,680 at the end of the month before we begin. The balance sheet shows this number.

The necessary start-up assets, which are $143,000

  • Cash in the bank totaling $67,000. This includes enough cash to pay employees and owners salaries of $23,900 in the first two months, and cash reserves for three months (approximately $14,400 per month).
  • Initial inventory of $16,000 which includes:

    • Coffee beans (12 regular brands, five decaffeinated ones) #8211 $6,000
    • Coffee filters, baked goods, salads, sandwiches, tea, beverages, etc. – $7,900
    • Retail supplies (napkins, coffee bags, cleaning, etc.) – $1,840
    • Supplies for office &#8211: $287
  • Equipment for the total amount of $60,000:

    • Espresso machine – $6,000
    • Coffee maker &#8211, $900
    • Coffee grinder #8211 $200
    • Food service equipment (microwave, toasters, dishwasher, refrigerator, blender, etc.) – $18,000
    • Storage hardware (bins. utensil rack. shelves. food case.) #8211 $3,720
    • Counter area equipment (counter top, sink, ice machine, etc.) – $9,500
    • Servier area equipment (plates and glasses, flatware, etc.) – 8211; $3,000
    • Store equipment (cash registers and security systems, signage, ventilation, etc.) #8211; $13,750
    • Office equipment (PC, fax/printer, phone, furniture, file cabinets) – $3,600
    • Other miscellaneous expenses – $500

Funding for the company comes from two major sources–owners’ investments and bank loans. Arthur Garfield & James Polk have contributed $70,000 & $30,00, respectively. All other investors have contributed $40,000, which brings the total investments to $140,000. The two bank loans of $30,000 each were used to pay the remaining start-up expenses and assets. A $10,000 loan for one year and a $20,000.00 loan for five years provided the rest. Both loans were secured with the Bank of America. Thus, total start-up loss is assumed in the amount of $27,000.

These amounts appear in the balance sheet one month prior to opening. Paid in Capital is what the $140,000 investment looks like. The $27,000 expenses show up as negative retained earnings. Assets and liabilities are both there. Financial standards dictate that this happens.

Bridal Gown Shop Business Plan


Bridal Gown Shop Business Plan


Recycled dreams is an Oregon-based retail rental shop for bridal dresses and accessories. Recycled Dreams, founded by Connie Jugal and run by her, will satisfy the unmet demand for formal wedding dress rentals rather than purchasing. Traditionally, wedding party members are required by the bride to buy their dresses. They have no say in what the dress will look like. They are advised exactly what type of dress they need. The dresses end up looking awful and are often left in the closet gathering dust for years. It is therefore very practical to provide people with the option of renting a dress in light of the fact that the dress will only be used once. This makes the event far more cost effective, yet just as fashionable. Now, you can rent tuxedos for men and bridesmaids dresses for women.


The Services

Recycled Dreams rents dresses, shoes, head pieces and veils. The dresses can also be purchased by the bride or other guests if desired. However most customers will be overjoyed with the option of renting these one time pieces of clothing. Recycled Dreams provides the opportunity for the wedding party to rent all of the clothing pieces and accessories. Additionally, Recycled Dreams has developed strategic partnerships with top local vendors such as caterers, invitations and photographers. Recycled Dreams offers a one-stop shopping solution for customers, where they can rent all necessary clothing and accessories. Recycled Dreams also receives a commission for referring other people, which provides additional revenue.


The Market and Competition

Recycled Dreams aims to target two distinct market segments. These are the parents and the spouses of the bride. Couples as a market segment is growing at 9% a year with 114,584 potential customers, and the parents of the couple have a 8% growth rate with over 112,000 possible customers.

Recycled dreams faces competition from traditional bridal shops who sell the products. Recycled Dreams views these as competitors but sees them more as indirect rivals. Recycled Dreams believes the renting of dresses is an extremely valuable service. Currently, there are no other bridal rental facilities in Portland. This is a new concept. It was tested in San Francisco with great success. Recycled Dreams is now offering it in Portland.


Competitive Edge

Recycled Dreams is able to offer two unique advantages that will help them rapidly expand their customer base as well as validate their concept. The first is the concept that brides’ bridal wear can be rented. This is similar to men’s tuxedos. Because the dresses are only worn once, this makes it intuitive. Although some might feel that there is a social stigma attached with women renting clothing, there is no way for anyone other than the renting customer to know that the dress that they are wearing is rented. Their outstanding customer service is their second competitive advantage. Recycled Dreams considers their role to be the one who holds the client’s hand, guides them through the event and meets all their requirements. This philosophy has been instilled throughout the company.


Management

Recycled Dreams is an innovative idea. However, it also has a veteran founder and manager to help guide the company towards profitability. Connie brings years of retail management expertise. She was the manager of multiple stores at the Salvation Army. Connie managed stores that saw growth of up to 46% per year. Connie will draw on her extensive industry experience to make Recycled Wishes a success.

Recycled Dreams is an exciting concept that acknowledges the fact that most bridal party dresses are not the prettiest creations, are quite expensive, and almost never worn after the intended wedding. Recycled Dreams will reach profitability by month 10 with healthy sales for year one and more than doubling by the end of year three.

1.1 Objectives

The objectives for the first three years of operation include:

  • To create a service-based organization whose primary goal it is to exceed customer’s expectations.
  • Superior service and increased clientele will allow us to increase our clients’ numbers by 20% per annum.
  • To develop a sustainable start-up business providing cost effective bridal dresses.

1.2 Mission

Recycled Dreams’ mission is to make wedding dresses and accessories affordable.

We are able to exceed customer expectations.

These include restaurants, grocery stores and butcher shops. Over the past ten-years, the number of independent butcher shops has decreased as more meat is sold through grocery stores and large box retailers.

Retail Bicycle Shop Business Plan


Retail Bicycle Shop Business Plan


University Cycle Works is an established bicycle specialty store, offering retail sales of new bicycles, parts and accessories, clothing, and maintenance and repair service. It is in a high-traffic area with a focus on universities.

University Cycle Works’ primary target market is the university student community. They typically have a turnover/growth of about 25% each year. The secondary market for University Cycle Works is the university faculty staff. The tertiary market includes the greater Metroburg area.

Hubert “Hub” Freewheeler, who has been assistant manager at University Cycle Works for five year, has seven years of experience in the bicycle retail and service industry. Hub explored the possibility of owning his bike business when he was just two years old. However, the Metroburg area seemed overcrowded with bicycle shops. Hub approached his boss to discuss the possibility of buying an existing store. Two years of negotiations culminated in the sale of University Cycle Works to Hub, effective July 1, 2001. It will result in a seamless transfer, leaving behind all staff, bikes, locations, and operations.

Metroburg Business Bank has requested that this business plan be prepared. It will also be presented to major suppliers of bicycles, accessories, parts and other products. A substantial part of the past year’s planning has been negotiations with these suppliers to maintain the current financial agreements as the business changed hands. Hub’s close working relationship with the representatives of the different suppliers was an asset to these negotiations. These sales reps lobbied for Hub. The suppliers have approved continuation of the existing terms and dating programmes, subject to review of the business plan.

This sample plan does not include names, proprietary information or financials.

1.1 Objectives

The objectives for University Cycle Works are:

  1. University Cycle Works continues to deliver the highest quality sales and services.
  2. Facilitate a smooth transfer of ownership
  3. Maintain a financially strong business. Validate the trust and advocacy of others for this business purchase.
  4. Within one year, repay the family members’ start-up loans.
  5. Monthly and yearly sales equal or better than those of the previous owner.
  6. The goal is to increase sales of rainwear and garments that are bicycle-specific over the next year.
  7. To maintain growth in service and sales, focus marketing on the new student influx.

1.2 Keys for Success

Our prime, high visibility location right next to Metroburg State University has been crucial to our success in being the bike sales and service provider of choice for the university community.

The continuance of established accounts payable, sales programs, and co-op advertising resources by suppliers of bicycles, accessories, and parts makes the financial plan reasonable and attainable. Without this support, it would be unacceptable to take on the risk of purchasing the business.

University Cycle Works, a trusted name, is available for purchase and continued use by the customer and employee.

The shop’s employees are just as important as the other items. It is crucial to retain and encourage them. They are the backbone of University Cycle Works. University Cycle Works has always valued long-term relationships with its customers. We want to be part in the university experience by addressing our customers by name.
