...dealing business called Precision Auto Detailing. What Frank and Carlson plan on doing was to devote the early part of their day to their auto business while maintaining their 6 to 10 shifts at the packaging company. They both invested a total of $6000 to lease the building and buy tools and equipment. The building is located in a high-traffic area and has established a small base of clientele to whom some were local car dealers. Frank and Carlson kept the part-time employees who were already working there and try to earn other car dealers businesses by making a few phone calls. They wanted to provide their customers with top-notch service by picking up the vehicles they cleaned including inspections before they are returned. The price of their service ranged from $100-$250. Because of the service they provided their business grew rapidly and had to purchase new detailing equipment. The majority of the profits made went back into the company but was not enough to sustain their rapid growth. After running into Carlson he wanted me to explain to him on what he needed to do to get a loan to help finance the growth of their business. In this paper I will explain to Frank and Carlson via e-mail on coming up with a business plan and how to prepare an outline of elements they should include in a business plan. I will also explain to them on what bankers are looking for in a business plan and will offer them advice on what to do when they are ready to present the business plan to the...

...Proof of Business Concept Purpose and structure of outline feasibility Learning Outcome At the end of this learning resource, students will recognise the purpose of the outline feasibility in proving the business concept and begin to consider the likely structure and content of their own study. The outline feasibility study Purpose of the Study When starting a new venture you will almost certainly need to prepare a Business Plan. However there is little point in investing days and days of effort in preparing a full plan, without first clarifying your thinking. Undertaking some initial feasibility activities will help you assess whether the idea has sufficient potential to warrant the investment of your further time and effort. The Business Plan is the full detailed blueprint for launching a new business or venture and securing funding resources. Many person days are involved in its preparation, but this initial feasibility work will greatly assist its preparation. The Outline Feasibility is a format for developing your thinking and structuring the presentation of key information in a way that will help the decision as to whether to proceed to the full business plan. The feasibility study and the business plan are very different and each has a very specific role[1]. The Outline Feasibility is your initial check on reality. (Launching the business would be your ultimate reality check!) An outline feasibility that presents a compelling case is the first...

...How to Write an RFP for e-Learning Services Including a Customizable RFP Template What is an RFP? How can you narrow the list of possibilities before contracting for services? How can you ensure that your organization’s business needs will be met? One solution is to write and distribute a Request for Proposal (RFP) in the marketplace. An RFP is a document produced by a company seeking goods and/or services and distributed to prospective vendors. Vendors then provide proposals based on the criteria specified within the RFP. A well-written RFP will outline specific information about your organization, the services and products you need, and the specific requirements suppliers must meet in order to win your business. It forces your to identify your business and technical requirements. It also forces the vendor to state in writing to what extent they can meet your requirements. A written RFP increases market awareness of your organization’s needs, thereby increasing the competition to serve those needs and increasing the formality of the relationship between you and the supplier. In short, an RFP places you—the buyer—in control of the desired service levels and related requirements and lets potential vendors know up front that your most important concern is the level of customer service you will receive. Reasons to Write a Formal Request for Proposal • To increase competition for your organization’s money, which will increase the options and potentially could drive down...
