The Skate Zone has been formed to implement inline skate hockey services. Skate Zone is an American company located in Miami. Its mission is to promote hockey and make it more accessible to all.
The company’s original strategy is to promote Roller Hockey. It is one the fastest growing sports leagues in America. Since 1993, participation has increased steadily according to the National Sporting Goods Association. The company’s goal is to provide a professional and safe environment for inline hockey, with added support to provide entertainment and physical fitness for players all ages. Players and their guests can enjoy food and beverages during games and practices at the snack bar. Further endeavors will include bringing inline hockey products such as skates, body protection equipment, sticks, and jerseys with team logos into an in-house Pro Shop.
The company anticipates it will generate income from these specific areas:
Registration fees. Person(s) who will be playing hockey will be required to pay a seasonal fee to play in the league.
Equipment and concessions. Income from food and beverages. Future projects include the purchase of certain equipment that can be used by players for sporting activities.
Special operations. Miscellaneous uses for the rink. Payments will be made to cover operational expenses.
Godsend Concierge Service is a concierge that focuses on the untapped corporate market of Eugene, Oregon. The company is capable of handling almost all errands requested by clients, allowing them to focus on developing value for their employers. Employers will be pleased with our service. It provides an alternative form of compensation that can be used to attract qualified employees.
The three most important goals for the first three-years are: GCS use in at the least four of the Top 10 Local Companies, and to increase the number of clients we serve by 20% per Year through superior performance or word-of–mouth referrals.
The Company
This business will be home-based with Taylor Gogetter acting as sole proprietor. Mr. Gogetter will work full-time at GCS. By the end of 2011, 3 full-time employees will be hired by GCS. As this is an industry that demands high quality individuals, GCS intends to offer higher wages to insure quality performance. GCS will offer ongoing employee training.
Services
Godsend Concierge Service provides a wide variety of services for customers. While the tasks of employees will vary greatly, the core need will be for services/errands to be performed during normal business hours. Employees are not at work all the time, and the company would prefer that the employee is productive, rather than running an error.
Market
Concierge companies are a way for corporations to compensate their employees for less time. We will be targeting large corporations in Eugene such as Hyundai, Sony Disc Manufacturing and Levi Strauss. Medium-size companies include Burley Design Cooperative, Palo Alto Software, Bike Friday, larger law firms and medical offices, etc.
Some corporations offer concierge services to their employees. However, this is usually done through an employee in-house who handles the tasks. Although it is an employee perk, having a concierge in-house is not the most efficient way to go about business. GCS can offer concierge services to companies at an affordable rate.
We can also help individuals who realize the value in having someone else take on tasks that they don’t have the time or decide it isn’t worth their time. This segment will be attracted by word-of mouth marketing.
Two concierge-style companies are available in Eugene right now, and they both serve individuals. GCS will be targeting businesses as it sees a market that has not been explored and because it offers greater volume and more consistent work.
Financial Considerations
Godsend Concierge Service will charge a start-up fee that includes all the equipment required to set up a home-based office, legal fees and website creation. GCS projects a growth rate of more than 100% per annum, with strong operating profits. GCS plans to generate $156,000 in sales by 2013. The company will bill its clients at an hourly basis.
Objectives
These are the objectives for the first three year of operation:
To create a service-based company whose primary goal is to exceed customers’ expectations.
GCS is used in at least four of 10 top local companies, as indicated in the annual local business listing in the local newspaper.
We aim to double our clients’ numbers each year by delivering superior service and referring others.
To create a sustainable home business, it must survive off its own cash flow.
Mission
Our mission is to offer the customer any type of legal service that he/she needs. We are here to keep customers happy. This maxim will guide everything else. Our services will exceed the expectations of our customers. We will create an environment where employees can take pride in their work and feel empowered to achieve their full potential.
Everywhere Assistant, a start-up virtual assistant business, is now available. Sadie Clark, the founder and sole worker of the company, is the sole proprietor. The company was started and will provide services to a diverse geographical segment of customers.
The Market
Everywhere Assistant identified three market segments that will be targeted. Companies of different sizes make up the first segment. It is common to see large-scale corporate downsizing during the current business climate. This is helpful for Everywhere Assistant because the downsizing means that people kept within the company are busier than ever. It is not uncommon for downsizing to result in the outsourcing of jobs/projects that the current staff cannot manage. Everywhere Assistant believes that companies will account for the bulk of their sales, relative to other customer segments.
Individuals make up the second segment. This is a very appealing segment as we all have less time in our day. The virtual assistant (VA), can be a way to free up time or not have to perform tasks that we do not like. The services offered to individuals are expected to be less tedious than those provided to businesses.
Last, but not least, are not-for-profit organizations. These organizations, due to their status not for profit, do not have excess capital. Therefore, they strive to maximize employee responsibilities and tasks. This means most employees are quite busy. Organizations don’t have employees that can handle random tasks. VA’’s are well-equipped to take over tasks quickly and smoothly. This saves money for companies as they pay only for the labor to complete the task.
Services
Everywhere Assistant offers many services. The bulk of the services are administrative. They include data entry, mailing list update, and more. These will be the services that are billed at the lowest end of the range of $25-$45. Services that are billed out near the top of the range are those that require higher levels of skills such as accounting, marketing, and graphic design. Services such as concierge services or travel arrangements will fall in the middle. These services are a broad range of services. The customer will not be able to do the services or may not have the time.
Competitive Edge
Most VA services are of a secretarial nature. They are jobs that an administrative assistant can handle. Everywhere Assistant will use their wide range of skills to maximize their competitive advantage. Everywhere Assistant can offer clients more technical skills than the mundane tasks. For example, Everywhere Assistant can use PageMaker and Photoshop to create graphic designs and also have a strong marketing and research background. This is a competitive edge because once a client has found a VA they have an economic incentive to continue to use them as opposed to finding someone else (assuming that they are happy with the level of service and the work product). Clients who are happy with the VA’s work but need assistance on a specific project require the VA to find a solution. The VA (Everywhere assistant) should have a greater range of skills so they can offer more value to the client.
Everywhere Assistant, which is a virtual assistant business model, offers a wide range customer services remotely using the internet. This business model is extremely efficient. It will provide Sadie with a steady income and allow her to choose when and how to work. According to the forecast, revenues will rise for year 2 and 3, with corresponding net profits increases.
1.1 Keys to Success
Offer a wide range of services allowing Everywhere Assistant to handle any type of task.
It is possible to complete last-minute tasks if you have a flexible schedule.

1.2 Mission
Everywhere Assistant is committed to providing the highest quality administrative assistant services, even from remote locations. Everywhere Assistant will be able to handle a wide range of tasks with a level of professionalism and trust that is hard to come by in today’s world. Everywhere Assistant will meet or exceed the customer’s expectations.
1.3 Objectives
To earn more than $35,000 in the first 12 months.
To earn enough money to keep the job as a full-time position.
Because there are sufficient word of mouth opportunities to stay busy, it is possible to lower marketing expenses.

Competition
