Financing

Use of Funds

 Your T-Shirt! will incur the following expenses for start up:

  • Two Apple Macintosh computers — These will be high end models and utilize the following software: Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Macromedia FreeHand, and QuickBooks Pro.
  • HP XX Laser Printer — This is a prototype printer not available to the public.
  • In-store computer kiosk — This allows customers to view options for shirts and existing imagery.
  • Website — This will be used for information disbursement as well as ordering.
  • Shelving display unit — To display assorted graphic images on paper for easier viewing.
  • Broadband Internet connection.
  • Two desk/chair/office supplies sets.
  • Small shirt inventory — Inventory will be kept small to lower overhead. This will be accomplished by using a shirt vendor who is one shipping day away, effectively using a just-in-time (JIT) system for managing inventory.
