The Business Idea

In recent times there has been an increase in the number of households that maintain 2-3 computers all of which need maintenance, repair and occasional software tuning

Furthermore, you cannot find a college student or professor that does not use multiple computers and/or cellphones

The market is emerging quickly on the computer line, but even faster over the Internet

Internet market revolves around security, websites, social media, real-time and cloud applications

People today need Computer Repair that is convenient

But also offers resources that will help them in modern ways

Social networking, webdesign and round the clock consistency in computer repair

where we will higher subcontractors to carry out services across a larger area.

5. The second year we will profit $1.6 million 6. and as our company expands we will surpass $2.7 million in the

third year.7. By attaining sub contracted computer repair stores we will be able

to profit without having to invest in training new campus gurus or increasing our operating costs.

Financials Summary

Chris/Nate: Revenue/cost/profit/probability

● The gross profits will be distributed amongst areas including : overhead costs, variable costs, employees payroll and net profit amongst campus gurus

● The net profits will be evenly distributed between four campus gurus and each person will receive 15%.

● Our business will allow us to retain high profits and low overheads because computer services are sought after in society. The greater majority of people use computers for business or pleasure.

● This will also help to quickly pass our break-even within the first year of operations.
