Family Clothing Business Plan

ReHabiliments, established as a Limited Liability Corporation, is a clothing and apparel business with principal offices located in Sandybar Harbour.  The company sells trendy clothing and apparel, such as casual and active wear, head gear, work-out gear, leather coats, and baseball jackets to an international market consisting of individuals of all ages, from all walks of life.  ReHabiliments markets its product line as “ReHab Your Wardrobe – ReHab Your World,” and commits a portion of the company’s sales revenues to programs that transform the lives of the less fortunate and abolish the exploitation of children forced into activities such as scavenging, rag-picking or marginal economic activities in the streets, drug trafficking, criminal activities, physical and sexual abuse, forced labor, debt bondage, and prostitution.

“ReHabiliments,” is the brainchild of L. Owerd Emlynes, the company’s founder.  While managing musical performance group, Mr. Emlynes developed the idea of promoting the group and increasing revenue by selling tee shirts and sweat shirts bearing the group’s name, logo, and slogan – “There is Strength in Harmony.”

After purchasing $500 in clothing (e.g., tee shirts and sweat shirts), Mr. Emlynes had the apparel designed and silk-screened and then negotiated with two clothing stores in the Sandybar Harbour area to carry the clothing.  In less than one week, both stores were sold out of the apparel.

Mr. Emlynes conceived the idea of carrying the music group’s marketing strategy one step further and developing an entire clothing line around the concept of “harmony.”  After brief negotiations with the group, it was mutually agreed that since Mr. Emlynes was the brainchild behind the idea, the clothing line known as “ReHabiliments,” and the company (e.g., ReHabiliments), would belong solely to Mr. Emlynes.

The underlying foundation of ReHabiliments, and its clothing line is based upon the principle of harmony – harmony of thought, harmony of purpose, and harmony in humility.  When people are of one mind, they are supported in their purpose and are accepted despite their weaknesses.  By purchasing “ReHabiliments,” consumers make a conscientious decision to become an integral member of a community dedicated to the greater good of humanity.

Lately, Mr. Emlynes has explored the potential of the “ReHabiliments” concept, expanding the line to include a variety of apparel and, built upon personal marketing efforts and out-of-pocket funds, has sold over $6,000 in products to various venues such as the New York City Jacob Javits Convention Center; the “Black Expo” in Atlanta, GA; multicultural expositions at the Anaheim Convention Center, CA; at street fairs in Englewood, NJ; and through various online, e-commerce sales.

We are seeking funding to expand ReHabiliments’ operations, establish a reputable storefront, and to further develop the business, business infrastructure, internal systems, product and service development, and extensive marketing and geographic positioning.  Based upon conservative market growth projections, once start-up funding is secured, the company expects to generate very healthy sales revenues in Fiscal Years 1, 2 and 3.
