6.1 Personnel Plan
The do-jahng itself is a small business. However, the company is putting together a quality management team (Board of Advisors) to assist in business matters. Gaps in legal, tax, marketing and personnel will be covered by the Board of Advisors. Our strength will be in the technical and management fields. Computer graphic designing and software programs is expected to assist with the advertising and marketing for Cents and Senseibility Martial Arts School. While currently the Black Belt Academy has no employees, as soon as the school opens the owner’s father and mother will be assisting part-time as sales associate/receptionist to handle the expected increase in new membership and serve on the Board of Advisors for business issues. The Board of Advisors will consist of a three member team, each with experience in general business (insurance), accounting, small business, legal issues and human resources.
