Nonprofit Youth Services Business Plan


In Brief

Solution

Unite for Youth provides mentoring programs for middle- and high-school youth in the Greater Claremont. Unite for Youth’s goal is for young people to feel hopeful for the future and to build positive relationships.

In Brief

Unite for Youth (a nonprofit agency) provides mentoring programs for middle school and high school students in the Greater Claremont. The program will establish partnerships with local school district and the juvenile courts system. Unite for Youth hopes to instill hope and promote positive social relationships among young people. It is only through building relationships with youth that a sense can of individual responsibility can be reestablished. Youth will feel pride in their accomplishments and have the motivation to continue on the path to adulthood.

At-risk youth have lost faith in their ability to achieve success after repeated failures in school and developing destructive habits. Young people need to be in an inclusive, caring learning environment that encourages them to do their best and promotes respect.

Unite for Youth is a program created in response to the increasing number of youths who are falling through the cracks at schools or getting involved with the juvenile justice system. The program’s purpose is to identify and support youths going through a turbulent transition from childhood to adulthood. The focus is slightly different at each level but the goal remains the same; empower the young person to make positive changes in his/her life.

Unite for Youth focuses primarily on middle-school youths. The system expects that half of its students will be in middle schools within three years. This age group can be problematic and is a good time to provide mentoring.

Unite for Youth will match a youth with a mentor for twelve months through its mentoring programs. During that time the two will participate in weekly planned activities to strengthen the relationship between the two and improve the young person’s confidence and hopefulness. Mentors will receive continuous training throughout the year and will participate in monthly meeting to report the young person’s progress.

Over time, Unite for Youth will create a learning environment that will be an invaluable resource to young people, aspiring mentors and the community at large.

Why Us?

Unite for Youth was created to address the growing number youth who are struggling at school and are involved in the juvenile court system. The goal of the program is to identify youths who are going to have a turbulent transition to adulthood and offer positive support system to avoid the pitfalls that can derail their lives. The focus is slightly different at each level but the goal remains the same; empower the young person to make positive changes in his/her life.

Vending Services Business Plan


Vending Services Business Plan


Introduction

Chef Vending, LLC, a family business, specializes in the import of vending machines and commercial food and beverage equipment from Spain. We aim to be the first to market with innovative, high-quality vending equipment in the vending industry. We will create our own vending lines in the Southern and Central Florida regions. We plan to supply innovative, high-quality equipment and participate in the $321 million food & drink industry. We anticipate exceeding our financial forecasts due to the formation of a strategic alliance with a nationally recognized brand in one of our vending lines.

The Company

Chef Vending’s goal is to be the leading in introducing high-quality, innovative vending machines to the market. We strive to meet all of our customers’ needs through excellent customer relations and close customer contact.

Chef Vending, LLC is a Florida privately-held corporation. It maintains an office in North Miami Beach, Florida, as well as a small warehouse.

Three of the four shareholders have total operational responsibility. Javier Palmera & Mauricio Ordonez have both business and entrepreneurial experience. Charles Mulligan is an experienced financial manager and operator.

The products

Chef Vending will offer two product lines for each market. Our vending products line will include our unique Sandwich Express machine, our Fresh Orange Juice machine and our Multi-line Dispenser. Toasters, fresh juice squeezers, and espresso makers will all be part of our restaurant equipment.

Sandwich Express is one of Chef Vending’s most innovative products. It has functions and benefits that are not available in other vending machines today.

We intend to continue expanding our product line. In the immediate future, we plan to introduce a larger Sandwich Express model that will offer more variety in sandwiches as well as a wider product range, such a pizza. Other products are currently in the exploratory stage.

We are also seeking supplier relationships to large sandwich and juice manufacturers that have national brands. This will allow us to tailor our machines to their products. This would allow Chef Vending to supply machines national companies, and allow them to brand their machines with their product lines.

The Market

According to the Automatic Merchandiser magazine’s most recent State of the Vending Industry Report, revenue from U.S. vending consumable products was $24.5 billion in 2013. This is an increase of 4.9%. Market share was 5.8% for small companies that have sales of less then $1 million. This market had sales projections of $1.35billion. Three quarters (75%) of all vending companies are in the small category.

The industry’s largest product segments are snacks and cold drinks. These two categories are the main driving force. The food category grew at a rate of 7% last year, according to the Automatic Merchandiser. The impressive growth of cold storage machines last year was 42%, which was significantly higher than the rise in shelf-stable products.

According to the National Restaurant Association (NRA), restaurant revenues are projected to exceed $321 billion. This is a large and healthy industry in our economy, and suppliers to this industry are expected to benefit from this growth.

These facts indicate that a fast-moving and innovative company that can offer enhanced products for vending machine/restaurant equipment customers will be able to gain significant market shares in a short period of time.

Chef Vending plans to market its machines in three different markets: distributors (brand sandwich and juice makers), end users, and retailers. Our restaurant equipment business will focus on hotels and restaurants as well as equipment supply companies.

Financial Considerations

The company’s initial start-up costs are approximately $157,000. $125,000 will come from an SBA loan for ten years. An additional $2,500 will be available for short-term borrowing, and the rest will come from investment capital.

Our monthly breakeven is estimated to be about $93,000 per unit or 27 vending systems. We will be able to generate a much higher sales level due to our innovative vending machine and restaurant equipment. In the first year, we anticipate generating $500,000 of net income on sales of $2.8million.
