Bridal Shop Business Plan

Executive Summary

Moms, Maids, and More is a wedding attire shop like no other. While most retail bridal shops focus on selling wedding gowns, our focus is everything else. We will cater to the mothers of the bride and groom, bridesmaids, and flower girls. In addition, we will provide an array of accessories for all the female members of the bridal party. 

Moms, Maids, and More is registered as a single-member LLC, incorporated in Washington state, and the sole owner is Dagny Taggart. The purpose of this business plan is to secure start-up financing. We project that the company will reach the break-even point in its fourth month of operations.

The projections outlined within this business plan indicate sufficient funds for repayment of the requested loan.

3. In Year 3, to have sales more than double first year level and net income of at least 10% of sales.
