South Kelleton Keys and Locksmith

Executive Summary

South Kelleton Keys and Locksmith (SKelleton Keys) will be a locksmith shop focusing entirely on locks and security products, founded and managed by Padraic Lawkse, an experienced, certified locksmith. The business will set up a store in South Kelleton and sell lock hardware and services to building management companies, businesses, homeowners, and renters in the community through a combination of direct selling techniques and advertising.

Net profit will rise significantly from its first year of operation to the end of its third year on a projected almost doubling of sales. The business will grow by selling products and services, as well as offering qualified referrals to security product vendors when the company cannot handle a client’s needs directly. An additional locksmith will join the business in the third year to apprentice under Pad Lawkse and expand the company’s business.

South Kelleton Keys and Locksmith seeks a three year business loan, which will fund initial operations along with Pad Lawkse’s own capital investment into the business.
