Martin Cove Brewing Company has been a successful microbrewery in southern Oregon for the past three years. The company, located in Medford has experienced an increase in sales of 15% each year. Martin Cove Pilsner as well as Red Ale are two of the company’s product lines. Martin Cove Brewing Company will make $520,000 this year. This was generated from an initial investment of $150,000.
Martin Cove Brewing Company crafts its beers under close supervision by our brewers in small 20-barrel batches. The latest brewing equipment and technologies are seamlessly combined with traditional brewing methods to ensure consistently excellent taste, whether packaged in bottles or draft kegs.
Martin Cove Brewing Company will expand its distribution to select metropolitan areas in Oregon. Martin Cove Brewing Company, which has enjoyed a high popularity in the area over the past three-years, is now looking to expand its distribution throughout Oregon. The company will also launch a traditional German Marzen style beer. The expansion plan will be supported by internal cash flow and funding from the owner. Based on current sales success in southern Oregon, projections of future sales growth are made for the next three year. The effective implementation of this plan will result in sales revenues growing to $1.2 million by Year 3.
Martin Cove Brewing Company uses the same sales strategy that helped to build Medford’s sales: Remove all obstacles between yourself and the customer. Once the customer tastes the product, he or she will know the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle of Martin Cove.
Martin Cove Microbrews is available in bars as much as in retail outlets. Although it will distribute via supermarkets, it is expected that national supermarket shelves will be harder and more costly.
1.1 Objectives
Martin Cove Brewing Company aims to achieve the following:
Establish strong relationships with local beer distributors in selected sales areas.
Ensure that you keep costs and operations under control during expansion.
Maintain the high-quality product that the company has become known for.

Centroplex Health System’s (CHS) premier Occupational Medicine Program, Workwell, is designed to lower health care costs, increase productivity and reduce absenteism, improve employee morale, retain and attract high-quality employees, and provide a positive return of investment. Workwell will be Killeen’s pioneer Industrial Occupational Medicine Program and will serve area businesses, helping them to become more productive, while lowering their overall costs.
Employers want to lower their health care costs. They seek out occupational medicine clinics that offer the following components. Accessibility, drug screening services and high quality staff are all important. State-of-the art care is also available. Workwell’s mission is to promote total health for body, mind and spirit while forming and nurturing relationships with local businesses.
WorkwellՉ۪s existence rests on two simple facts.
Employees who are healthy are more productive than those who are chronically ill.
It is less expensive to prevent injuries than to treat them when they occur.
By helping employees change their behavior patterns and choose more healthy lifestyles, Workwell will lower a company’s health care expenditures, while raising worker productivity. Reduced medical insurance premiums, lower absenteism, decreased turnover rates, worker’’s compensation claims, shorter hospital stays, and reduced tardiness will all result in lower health care expenditures.
Centroplex Health System’s (CHS), relationship is a key advantage for Workwell. CHS is the most preferred provider for health care services in the service area. This means that CHS supports all the structures needed to build a successful Occupational Medicine Program such as Workwell. These structures include an Emergency Department, freestanding walk-in facilities (i.e. COMC), a network primary and specialist physicians, and an MCO (currently in development). The four structures together should create a loop which serves as a catalyst for business to flow into Workwell. In return, Workwell should refer back to the four structures, complete the loop. The model proposes to provide both Occupational Medicine services and primary care services under one location, which is COMC. This service combination will provide a more comprehensive system for Occupational Health services and Primary Care to our client employers. This will create a synergy which expands the market and establishes new relationships. It also reduces operating costs and generates new revenues.
The keys to success and the key factors that will determine your success over the next three years according to Workwell are:
Implementation of a winning marketing strategy/plan for employers.
Resourcing experienced medical and administrative talent.
Enter the Occupational Medicine market and build a “brand” name before the competition.
Commitment to continually improve the quality of our service
Demonstrate a financial return on investment.
Senior Management’s commitment
CHS should develop and implement an occupational medical program as per the business plan. According to market research, there were 7,720 worker injury claims last year. CHS handled 2,532. In addition, worker compensation injuries are projected to increase to a total of 9,446 in the next four years. This business plan has a five-year goal to position CHS so that it can treat 5,064 workers compensation injuries, and thus achieve 53 percent market share.
Below is a chart that illustrates the overall highlights of the business plan for the next five-years. Total visits to COMC are projected to increase from 11,085 to 15,918 by Year 5. This will translate into an increase in total revenues as well as net surplus.
1.1 Objectives
Workwell’s primary objective will be to help ESTABLISH Centroplex Health System in its service area as the #8220ONE STOP SHOPPING#8221 MEDICAL CENTER HEALTH CARE.
Offer a full range of Industrial Occupational Medicine Services that provide prompt, high-quality medical care for all employees injured.
By Year 1, you will provide Occupational medicine services to 10 Killeen employers with 50 employees and 20 small employers with 50 employees.
To expand the market and offer Occupational Medicine services, employers will need to be able to access these zip codes by Year 2.
By the end of the year 3, expand the market for Occupational Medicine services in the Centroplex Health System Service Area (Bell Lampasas, Coryell county) to employers.
Become the Provider Of Choice For Occupational Medicine In Your Area
1.1.1 Observation, Recommendations
OBSERVATIONOccupational health programs have been stepchildren in hospitals because they’ve historically not brought in much revenue. They could be more lucrative if the health system develops the competencies to sell them directly to employers. Providers must take action and pursue new revenue streams as the health care dollar is shrinking due to the limitations of managed care. Occupational health can provide a venue and format for building positive relationships between local employers and employees, which could lead to new revenue streams.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The underlying factor in these recommendations is TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE FOR DEVELOPING WORKWELL.
The following are the options and recommendations that were made:
Hire a consultant to help you start your program.
This recommendation is based on two reasons: First, occupational medicine programs require expertise. Second, we don’t need to reinvent the wheel when there are proven methods. All of the programs studied hired either an experienced occupational medical director or an external consultant to bring the program to life. CHS has no expertise in this field and doesn’t plan to hire one. Therefore, it is worth considering consulting firms.
Other reasons are:
This option will allow CHS to start offering area employers as well as its own employees a formalized occupational medicine program within 30 – 45 days. It is possible to pay professionals to help implement the proven methods ($$$), reducing the staff burden. Senior leadership will be more committed to the program’s success if they spend the money to hire consultants.
CHS faces the possibility of having a “canned program”, but it is well-known that the positives outweigh all the negatives. Three consulting firms have submitted bids to this project. These three firms are Concentra Health Services Florida Hospital and Occupational Health Research. This information has been included in my presentation.
Develop an occupational medicine program in-house
Positives:
You can save money.
Program customized.
Negatives:
Time frame
Lack of expertise.
The lack of senior leadership commitment.
Decision to remain status quo:
The program will still operate as before this option.
Positives:
None.
Negatives:
Continue to lose revenue
Potential to lose market shares
Do not miss the chance to network with local employers
Miss the opportunity to become a “one stop shop” for health care services.
CHS employee injury costs will continue to escalate.
Division of COMC
This option involves placing COMC on a marketplace for sale.
Positives:
Many people have a lot to spend.
You can invest the $$$ to develop or expand new programs.
Leadership can be more focused on issues that are closer to their hearts.
In the short term, improve CHS’ bottom line
Negatives:
Lose new revenue stream.
Lose market share.
Loss in prime location
Establish a rival in that setting.
It is easy to lose your identity on the market.

Supple Software Company (S Corporation) was founded by Ralph Smith and Mabel Smith. The company was established in 1993. There have been no outside investments. Supple currently sells three different products of software that have impressive market share. Ralph and Mabel would like to see the company grow by 2000.
Supple’s objectives are ambitious yet achievable. There were sales growth in 1999. The next year, they expect to double. They also forecast commensurate gross margin increases and net profit increases. Their goal is to hold personnel to one employee for every $250,000 in revenue. PC Data measured their 30% market share with Product X as their flagship product. The three keys to success are market power, customer happiness, and the right management.
The Market
Supple will be participating in a $3.8billion market with a 20% growth rate over three years. Supple will target four customer segments: professionals, academics, home offices and small offices. These markets are experiencing growth of 2%, 5% and 8% respectively. These markets each have potential customers of 22,000-15,000, 10,000 and 12,000 respectively. These numbers are for the USA market. International sales is the dominant trend in the market. The recent Internet boom has prompted a substantial increase in international PC sales. While the US market has seen 22% growth for the last three years, it is estimated that the international market will grow at 40%.
The Products
Supple Software currently has three products. Product X is the most popular Windows task X product and the quality leader. It offers a user-friendly interface with help and glossaries. Product Y can be used as a standalone task Y application on Windows. It is the best product for creating task Y. And it’s also the only product that allows you to manage the [omitted] function day-to-day. Their last product was Product Z, which is a creative business process application.
Strategy
Supple will follow four concise strategies to achieve the desired growth. They will design customized versions of standard products for customers who are looking for more value. They will create a solid marketing network. This will enable them to launch their products onto the market. Supple will remain focused on small to medium size companies, the segment that has been largely ignored by the competition. Lastly, Supple will focus on follow-up technology which is more appropriate for the masses, instead of leading technology which is best suited for experts.
Management Team
Mabel and Ralph have a wealth of experience as managers, capable of executing ambitious strategies. Arrog International brings Ralph 10 years of marketing and sales experience. Supple was founded by Ralph in 1993 as a distribution firm for software. Mabel will also be needed to grow the company. Mabel’s years of experience as a consultant will be tapped.
Supple Software was founded in 1993 as a small company. Since then, the company has grown into a $1 million business with increased revenue forecasts. This is all the more impressive when you consider that this was all done with investments from the owners, no outside capital was secured.
1.1 Objectives
To increase sales in 1999 and double sales again in 2000.
To increase gross profit margin and net margin in the appropriate manner.
For every $250K in income, 1 full-time worker must be employed.
Maintain at least 30% of the market share for Product X as measured by PC Data.
1.2 Keys to Success
Marketing power. It is important to ensure that your products are on the shelves in attractive packaging. This will allow you to retain a 30% market share as measured by PC Data.
Quality product and customer satisfaction. We guarantee everything we sell, so the product must live up to our promises.
For our survival, it is crucial to ensure that customers are satisfied for the long-term.
The right management team has solid foundations for marketing, management, finance and product development. Enough working capital to survive in the working-capital-intensive retail channel.
1.3 Mission
Supple Software creates, publishes and markets business tools as well as business knowledge in a single software product that includes documentation and software. It makes business methods accessible to millions, even to people who wouldn’t otherwise have the ability to use them. It generates profit and cash. It provides a stimulating work environment, fair pay to its employees, a fair return on its owners, and a fair royalties to its authors.
Pie in the Sky Wi Fi is an Oregon-based company that specialises in the creation, delivery, marketing, and maintenance of Wi-Fi for individuals, businesses, and entire communities. Pie in the Sky WI-Fi provides custom, ground-up metro-area data as well as VoIP installation and distribution.
Wi-Fi is fast becoming the standard in Internet connectivity delivery across many organizations and government agencies. Pie in the Sky Wi-Fi, Inc. provides secure Wi-Fi services to residential and commercial property owners, and traditional Internet service providers who want to improve their current offerings. Pie in the Sky WiFi’s primary objective is to offer complete support and management for wireless networks. This includes installation, maintenance and support. Pie in the Sky Wi-Fi supplies wholesale services to businesses seeking to improve the competitiveness of their business properties and towns.
There is a huge opportunity for Wi-Fi installations and ongoing management. The market is expected to grow at no less than half a percent annually. Pie in the Sky WiFi expects the overall industry segment to reach $2 billion annually in the fourth year. The Wi Fi industry as a whole has the potential to grow to $190.8billion. This year marks a fundamental shift in the way Internet services, hardware, and security are delivered to users around the globe. Pie in the sky Wi-Fi is positioned to become a leader in this fast-growing market. Because of the fragmented nature of the market in its current state, the threat from potential competitors is not necessarily a bad thing. Potential competitors to the market can help increase awareness of the industry and drive sales. The industry offers great potential. Pie in the Sky WI-Fi sees this market as a short-term opportunity. The company is aggressively launching the services where there is demand. Pie in the Sky WiFi’s innovative sales strategy and install manager strategy will allow the company access to all potential opportunities, regardless where they are located. We believe that market consolidation and the opportunity for a ‘#8220gold-rush’ will occur by year 4.
It is the goal of management to position the company as an acquisition target by a market consolidator looking to gain market share and build a larger national network by end of year three. Pie in the Sky WiFi will be in a strong position to sell the business if the business plan has been executed according to schedule and all milestones have been met. The most likely aggregators will be the larger telecom, cable or electrical companies currently looking at providing these services via public “Hot Spots” or through cellular networks. Over the next four-years, many companies will be entering the market, including the larger telecom and cellular firms. Fortunately, the Pie in the Sky Wi-Fi market focus allows for many competitors, both large and small. Pie in the Sky Wi-Fi expects to sell the company as a going concern for no less than $20 million based on the pro-forma income statement and estimated balance sheet.
1.1 Objectives
First year sales over $500,000
Increase contracted sales force to 30 by year 3
Net worth over $2,000,000 by year 3.
1.2 Mission
Pie in the Sky Wi-Fi makes it easy and affordable for customers to have Internet access. We will reduce their costs for initial installation, enable portability and provide quality, ongoing customer care. Our investors will receive a ground-level access port to the next big technology trend. At the end of the plan, the company will be sold to a market consolidator, generating high value returns.
1.3 Keys to Success
Management skills include business, technology, branding, and sales.

I Tech Solutions will be such a solution provider. Our clients will see us as trusted partners, offering them the loyalty of a business friend and the economics offered by an outside vendor.

This plan includes detailed investor information, as well as the basic business plan required for the establishment and operation of Full of Bologna (A Taste of North Italy) restaurant, bar, and lounge at the Greensward, Niceburb, Stasistate. The Greensward, which is a $58M fully funded project will open with its Firedrake Glass School and other high-traffic novelty shops and gift shops. There will also be museum traffic of around 2,000 people every day during the summer. Thereafter, the passage of the Gaming Bill in Stasistate Legislature will likely boost traffic to 12,000+ per day.
A separate plan for The Greensward has been developed by Loess Cairn Commons, LLC and is extensive at 100+ pages. The plan details the business growth and operations. It also outlines infrastructure management. The plan also includes letters from support from numerous governors, states, high-ranking leaders in business. A third report (100+ pages) supports this business plan as a Complete Appraisal and Self Contained Report, from CVE Gambier Bay Real Estate Services, Inc., and was prepared for Ms. Kitty Morris, Vice President of First Niceburb Bank.
This business is being developed by a dynamic, hard-working team of proven managers.
Full of Bologna targets local residents, tourists and gambling visitors as well as patrons of tourist restaurants who want great food and an interesting atmosphere. Niceburb is found between the Warfside Memorial Bridges, and Stasistate Memorial Bridges. The Greensward (where our offices will be located), is a creative mixed-use public/private property on 25 acres at the Stasistate, Historic Niceburb. The property development will consist of seven buildings covering approximately 191,000 square feet. It includes retail, restaurant, hotel, office, and office space.
The Greensward is in the Gigametro-Megametro-Jumbometro supersprawl statistical area along the Stasistate River. The buildings can be found in Stasistate. However, the dock and its associated pier with its 17 foot draft are under development.
The Greensward can be accessed easily from both the Interstate Highway and state highways. There is a population of 3.6 million within a 45-minute drive. A short drive takes you to the metro airport, the modernized general airport, a top helicopter facility, as well as Amtrak.
Niceburb’s city is in the midst of revitalization. It will offer much and people who live there expect the best. Bologna restaurant and lounge will provide a unique dining experience. We will be remembered for our fun and friendly atmosphere, delicious food and helpful staff. We’ll succeed by offering a mix of great and interesting food in a setting that attracts successful people who want to experience more of life than the average.
Bologna is the main ingredient in A Taste of North Italy. It will be formed as an LLC under the Laws of Stasistate.
Fluno Gogonzola, the former Executive Chef of the President of America, and Estate Manager at Camp David’s U.S. State Department, are the members of the team responsible for designing, building, developing company policy and managing the day to day operations. His budget included $51 million for a 37-restaurant chain, 400+ employees, and 5,000 meals per days for the federal government. He was also in Hawaii, Tokyo, Japan, Brussels, Belgium, and Tokyo, Japan. His experience spans 30+ years, from restaurant management (small) to hands on restaurant operation success (medium-hard work) to global control over a restaurant chain.
Tsoutsouros Graviera (Jr.), Vasto Parmigiano Jr., Severo Sado, Forlitaleggio (Landlord, former Manager at the Lowland Heights Golf Club in Stonestate) as well as Gimli Kifalotiri. All of them are seasoned in the restaurant, publicity and/or advertising businesses. The management team will also be supported by 26 members of a customer-oriented, team-oriented staff.
Full of Bologna will retain the services of a CPA firm to perform professional company audits, prepare taxes and serve as a business consultant to assist in setting achievable long-range strategic goals. As we are established experts in this area, payroll will be handled in-house. We also collect and pay sales tax (both Federal and multistate regulations and forms).
Full of Bologna offers quality family food, entertainment, catering services and more to Niceburb, Border County, as well as the surrounding area. It will be an integral part of the Niceburb Greensward initiative and is listed at #7 in the business plan. The Greensward Under Gorgonzola – includes two other projects. One is a riverside restaurant (Jollyjack Tar Restaurant and Show), and the other is a hotel (The Highfalutin Hotel –). The Jolly Jack-tar restaurant and show is second in Cape Flotsom (#1)
Full of Bologna’s current restaurant prices indicate that it has the potential to have a high net worth in four years. However, this is based upon very conservative estimates and over-inflated projections. A tremendous growth in revenue is possible with good management.
The equity for each investor will be based on his or her investment. Our Business Ratios provides a more detailed look.
These are ways to reduce the risks that could hinder Full of Bologna’s future success.
You must have sufficient capital to fund the construction of your business and pay for any expenses. All investor capital is held in escrow, until the project has been fully funded.
Lower overhead costs mean higher profits. A multi-skilled workforce will be employed. They will receive continuous training so that they can deliver superior service and customer satisfaction.
You must build a customer base. Demographics determine the ideal location. Full-time employees can launch an aggressive marketing plan to ensure desired results. Especially in working with The Greensward.
Involve the community to show how the business will improve your quality of living. Community projects using the local bowling center’s facilities will be developed to help civic groups obtain their financial goals. You are welcome to take a tour of the center with your school, church, or other groups.
All payments will be cash or credit card, which eliminates the need for invoicing and collections.
1.1 Objectives
The following outlines the objectives of Full of Bologna

Compton Geotechnical Associates Inc., (CGA), will provide innovative solutions to geological engineering service throughout Maine.
CGA will target this narrow geographic area and leverage its collective reputation. This will allow CGA to enter the market with long-term, cost-effective contracts that focus on quality service. We believe we can serve this market better than larger companies and have better service packages than other comparable-sized firms.
The Company
CGA will be a Delaware limited liability partnership for tax purposes. Its founder is Mr. Martin Compton, a former engineering geology department head with Wilson and Brown, Inc. Mr. Compton has brought together a highly respected group of geologists, hydrologists, engineers and graphic art specialists who, combined, have a total of 35 years of experience in this industry.
The company currently has only a small number of private investors. They do not intend to become public. The company has its main office in Augusta Maine. The facility includes a soil/rock/water test lab, conference room and office spaces. The company plans to start offering its services in January 1, 2001.
The main clients of the company will be large construction companies, local, state, and municipal governments, as well as utility and water companies. Our focus on institutions that have special needs will allow us to provide better service and a superior service.
The Services
CGA offers complete geo-engineering service to all of our clients. Our services fall into two main categories of geotechnical engineering services and construction monitoring/laboratory testing.
Some of these services include surface and groundwater evaluation, slope stability analysis, bluff studies, laboratory analysis of soils, rocks and groundwater, load testing, and settlement analysis. Each project is custom-tailored to each client. The scope, cost, reach, depth, and reach of each project are all unique.
The Market
This market is full of potential, especially because many potential customers are required to perform geotechnical surveys and monitoring prior to construction.
Since 2000, the geoengineering business has experienced rapid growth. According to Journal of Hydrology & Geoengineering over the past five-years, the industry averaged around 22% annually. For every few dozen well-known firms, there are thousands of smaller consulting companies and individual consultants. These companies range in size from multinational corporations with a strong brand to small local businesses that employ tens of thousands.
Financial Considerations
You will need to start-up assets [see the Start-up Table]. This includes expenses as well as the cash required to support operations up until revenues become acceptable. While most of the company’s obligations will come from outside investors and management investments, we have secured [see Startup Funding table] in current borrowings from Bank of America Commercial Investments. This principal will be paid off in two year. Charter Bank of Augusta will pay off a long-term loan of [see Start up Funding table] in ten years.
The company expects to be profitable in year one, and has no plans for serious cash flow problems. We conservatively believe that during the first three years, average profitability per month per segment will be about $8,000. We expect that about three projects per month will guarantee a break-even point.

The idea of keeping pictures in a scrapbook is not new. However, acid and other wood byproducts can cause damage to photographs. Ever notice an older photograph that has yellowed and fading?
