Business Solutions Consulting, also known as BSC, is a consulting firm for start-ups that caters to the unique needs of businesses throughout all phases of the business lifecycle. BSC offers a balanced and high-quality service, thanks to its core team made up of highly skilled professionals.
The Company
Business Solutions Consulting is a team of six business consultants. Each consultant specializes within a particular area, including finance and marketing, technology and operations, as well as human resources and management.
BSC offers several services to help business owners depending on their needs. This includes preparation of business and marketing plans, financial search & procurement, IT consulting, management development, and human resource advising.
BSC will have a focus on start-up businesses, preferably in the earlier stages of operation. The majority of U.S. markets and international markets are dominated by small and medium-sized businesses. BSC values a close relationship with young businesses and will continue to foster that relationship for the long-term.
BSC will be established as an Oregon based LLC with two principal partners, each of whom owns a 50% share in the company. Mr. Andrew B. Christiansen has extensive experience in business planning and finance, including CFO positions with ABC Conglomerate and DEF International. David E. Fields is an expert in the areas of marketing, advertising, communications.
The Market
The business consulting industry can be very fragmented. Many large multinational companies dominate this industry, while smaller (and sometimes more specialized) businesses occupy their market niches. Major management consulting companies, such as McKinsey, Bain, and Boston Consulting Group, have established their dominant position by providing services to the leading companies in various industries. The Big Five accounting firms are known for their consulting practices (a.k.a. The Big Five, also known as the Big Five, have established a global presence and sell their products to companies of various sizes and industries. At the same, many firms and individual business advisors are successful in market niches larger players find difficult to enter.
This firm targets start-up businesses. BSC will keep an eye on new activity in the area. Additionally, business contacts, referrals from among the group, and Internet marketing efforts will be made in pursuit of new clients. These companies are very attractive as the owners rarely have the knowledge and expertise needed to launch a new venture. These types of services for start-up consultants are in huge demand.
BSC can offer many of its services through competitors that are in the forefront. These services include information-based consulting, integration and management services. The services are designed to enhance clients’s operations effectiveness through lower costs, better customer service, higher quality of current products and services, and faster introduction of new services and products. Competitors offer industry-specific experience to help you objectively evaluate, select and develop information systems, networks, or applications.
Consulting firms BSC is competing with include regional and specialty consulting firms, as well as the consulting groups of international accounting forms such as KPMG LLP, Ernst & Young LLP, Deloitte & Touche LLP, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and Andersen Consulting. BSC competes against information system vendors like HBO & Company, Inc., Integrated Systems Solution Corporation, Electronic Data Systems Corporation, Perot Systems Corporation, SAIC, CAP Gemini America, Inc., as well as IT consultants such as BSC. BSC competes against both established and newer Internet service and product companies like Scient, TriZetto or Razorfish in ecommerce.
Financial
Andrew B. Christiansen, and David E. Fields will each contribute $50,000 to BSC’s start-up costs. The rest of the required financing will come from the Small Business Administration (SBA) 10-year loan in the amount of $100,000. These funds combined will be sufficient for the company to cover its expenses for the first one year of operation. This is the most crucial cash flow aspect.

But once inside the front door you realize that this could only be the Vette Kat Harbour Bed & Breakfast. An elegant gato gordo might greet you when you open the front door. A member of staff will take your bags and guide you to a private area where Passion Fruit tea is served and delicate biscuits are made.

The Market
Vette Kat Harbour Bed & Breakfast competes with hotels because there aren’t any other B & Bs available in the region. Vette Kat Harbour Bed & breakfast is far more luxurious than the other hotels in this area. The area has a lot of standard chain hotels. Nothing special.

The Vette Kat Harbour Bed & Breakfast has different target groups that it is going to successfully attract. People from the area who just want to escape for the weekend are the first. They may have activities planned for the weekend at the parks, local towns or just choose to relax in a comfortable setting. The second group are travelers who are sailing through the area prefer to stay in B & Bs – instead of a hotel/motel, or on board their boats. Others simply want to experience the Executive Chef’s service. While we will certainly get customers that fall outside of these groups, this classification should be fairly accurate.
Competitive Edge
Two distinctive competitive points distinguish Vette Kat Harbour Bed & Breakfast apart from the rest. The first is a never-ending commitment to detail and outstanding customer service. St. Lucia’s know that their mission to provide the best customer service is their mission. Kayman, Jenne and their team will do anything to ensure that the customer is happy.

Full Barrista services will be available, including Cafe Au Lait and four different coffees daily. Tazo Teas will be showcased with 8 teas each day. Our baked goods, breakfast, and brunch will be fantastic and celebrate our guests. Island Style Skillet
Conch grilled to perfection and served with Red-eye Gravy over Hand Rolled Biscuits or Challah Bread Dipped French Toast with Guava and Mango on top and then dusted incessantly with Powdered Sugar are a few examples of simple pleasures. Pancetta and Sundried Tomato Fritattas are examples of a gourmet selection. While Egg Beaters, fresh juices made with 100% juice, Wheat breads and Spelt are all options for healthy food, the offerings of Egg Beaters and Fresh Juices are also available. No matter if a guest wants to indulge or maintain a healthy lifestyle, our medical cuisine knowledge is unrivalled in the region. We will also have our famous Caribbean White Chocolate Chip and Macadamia, Pineapple, Walnut cookies, which everyone loves!
Their second competitive edge is the unique facility. The structure itself is amazing and is worth the effort. Amazing are the tiffany lamps, original gas, solid silver fixture lamps, and antiques. Also, fascinating are the stories about Executive Chef Kayman’s food, dishes, and cooking around the world.
Management TeamThe Vette Kat Harbour B & B is able to continue its strong business model due to its management. Kayman earned his MBA, which provides the establishment with valuable business skills. Kayman also has unique skills and experience that no other innkeeper has. Kayman’s resumes for B & B GM, Marketing VP and Chef show that he has a wealth of experience in all three areas. Kayman has held the position of GM in a number of high-profile resorts, hotels, B & B’’s that saw increased profits and increased growth. Kayman will be assisted by numerous Presidents, famed Executive Chefs from television and industry magnates/titans/CEO’s.

Michael’’s Video Service utilizes the most current technology to provide video production service. This allows the services to be of the highest quality possible, a standard that is not available in the market for video production companies.
Michael’’s Video Service, a brand new company, will need to be accepted by the market. The company is working on identifying trends in the industry and the customer’s needs.
Our services are available to many markets, such as television stations, companies and high schools. We will initially target high school students with whom we can make strategic alliances. This will allow us to develop long-term relationships. In our first year of operation, we believe we can capture 15 to 25% of the market, which translates into $100,000 – $130,000 in sales.
We estimate that we could earn $149,000 in our first and second years respectively, and rise to $175,000 in the second and third year. Our market strategy will be to advertise and capitalize on the services that our competitors do not offer.
We will be competing with several other companies. We have a competitive advantage, however, because our equipment is more aligned with the video production industry trends requiring digital technology, as opposed to analog devices.
The company is in need of a loan to fund the purchase of equipment and associated expenses. The company’s revenue projections for the first three years are $149,000, $175,000, and $191,000, respectively. Michael’s Video Service expects to achieve profitability early on.
