Chicano Stylez
Company Summary
Chicano Stylez is a contemporary retail clothing outlet designed to attract the Chicano/Hispanic population. In addition, CS will provide styles to the population of Eugene who wishes to dress and accessorize in the latest, hip fashions.
The store will remain involved with the community through our outreach program, to be described in later sections. We encourage diversity, and do not wish to only target the Hispanic market; we want ALL of Eugene to come to our store.
2.1 Company Ownership
This will be a simple sole proprietorship owned by Sandra Adams. We intend to wait until the business grows before we incorporate, if at all.
2.2 Start-up Summary
Assets will make up 80% of start-up costs.
The start-up expenses are fairly low in comparison. Start-up costs focus on inventory for my clothing and accessories which are extremely important. Expenses include:
- Pricing tools
- Cash register
- Advertising and design of brochures
- Legal fees for security
- Consulting fees to help with merchandising and layout of the store to obtain maximum benefit
- Start-up costs will be financed by the owner and a combination of investors
