Visions
Financial Plan
The plan for Visions’ financial future is steady growth. With a foundation of start-up investment from angel investors, VS has a solid cash base from which to establish itself and build name recognition. The eventual goal is to go public with a product line and locations around the country. The company will break-even shortly after the second year, making the location self supporting.
Leasing the location with the option to purchase the property is ideal for the company. The equipment, including exercise equipment, was purchased with start-up funds, leaving VS with little monthly costs beyond rent, utilities, and payroll. VS has a small staff of service providers whose payroll is subsidized by tips from clients. The managers are paid modestly,with their pay tied to the success of the company.
