EcoAquatics is a hobbyist business started by a sophomore in high school. 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 take care of saltwater aquariums. We will help every step of the way, from setting up the aquarium, to cleaning it, maintaining it, and feeding the fish. We can help you through each step, or they can just relax and enjoy the finished product.
Our service can be used to help anyone, regardless of their level of expertise. We will tell our clients the truth and not let them get something that will not thrive in their specific tank environment.
The business’s owner will offer services to close family members and friends in the beginning. The company will eventually expand to provide services to small businesses in Eugene, Oregon. This is a small hobbyist company so the startup costs are minimal. The family friend will provide an interest-free loan that will finance the start-up. The loan will be repaid within three years.
EcoAquatics was properly registered with Oregon at the time this business plan was written. It has been managing the aquarium of its client for the past four months.
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 enjoyable, rewarding, rich in learning, beneficial for both the clients and the owner.
1.2 Keys To Success
-
- As a part-time hobbyist company, keep the vision intact and move slowly but judiciously up.
- Stay informed about the environmental effects of aquariums in your house and at work.
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.
- To make it a long-term business, to generate an income from a parttime enterprise that is related to my vocation.
