Tracking Device Maker Business Plan

RQM Technologies’ management will be slow to hire new people, and very loyal to those who are hired. We believe our employees will be our greatest asset, and therefore, as we increase personnel, we will be looking only for individuals whose experience, skills, contacts and expertise will help foster the development and growth of our company. While there is a temptation to hire inexpensive personnel in order to further control costs, our philosophy is that there is a better rate of return in hiring more experienced personnel with expertise in areas we need, so they can immediately contribute to helping attain or exceed the company’s goals and objectives.

Initially, RQM Technologies’ day-to-day operations will be managed by its founders, who prefer a close, hands-on approach to all aspects of their business. As the company grows, we will be adding accomplished Executive Management at the C-Level in order to manage our growth with expertise in the areas most needed. RQM Technologies is a small company with a minimum command hierarchy and a maximum of community spirit and cooperation. Once profitable, we intend on donating a small percentage of proceeds to charitable causes that are within our target market(s), both as a measure of good will and as an added marketing leg. Despite the small size of this company, our business practices are centered on implementing our goals, never losing sight of profitability objectives and ROI for our investor/partner(s).

In order to minimize our start-up costs, we will continue to outsource the manufacturing, industrial design and packaging of our devices until the product demand warrants a more profitable method of producing the quantities needed to fulfill sales orders. Only at that point will we consider manufacturing the products ourselves.

6.2 Personnel Plan

Immediate personnel plans call for a minimum of three, to a maximum of five employees for the first year, unless unforseen sales growth dictates the absolute need for additional personnel. After the first year, we anticipate the need for additional personnel in the areas of office management and human resources, experienced technical sales professionals, and financial and technical operations. We may hire these addition personnel on a part-time basis, and move into full time positions as warranted by the company’s growth.
