The plan illustrates how those funds will be allocated as well as their direct causal relationship to the success of [YOUR COMPANY NAME] over the coming years. Strategies for marketing and expansion are also explained, which also serve to demonstrate the utility of these funds. Chart: Highlights 1.1 Objectives With the $1,200,000 in funding sought by [YOUR COMPANY NAME], we would like to hire five new employees, purchase a property to turn into a facility, purchase a sales vehicle, increase our advertising substantially, and pay for the ongoing education of company personnel. All duties and responsibilities in the company's operation are on the shoulders of [YOUR NAME], who owns [YOUR COMPANY NAME]. Without employees to fulfill the many duties [YOUR NAME] is currently assuming, the potential for company growth is severely limited. The company's base of operations is currently located in a rented space used for administration, design, and sales in addition to a 5,000 square foot storage facility being rented. Given the expected longevity of the company, it would be in our best interests to own the land and building we operate in rather than to rent it. Purchasing a sales vehicle will allow us to perform on-site evaluations and sales. Mobility will benefit the company very significantly, considering that the time that a potential client must give to travel to our office could be a deterrent to sales. Increased advertising will increase [YOUR COMPANY NAME]'s exposure to consumers, but more importantly to commercial entities and government spending. It is these two sectors that we hope to focus on in our advertising, given the degree of expense associated with implementing renewable energy technology and the pressure on the government and commercial entities to make the transition to green operations. A continuing education for [YOUR COMPANY NAME]'s future employees, as well as for [YOUR NAME], is necessary to ensure that the company is as up to date as possible with current technology and policies concerning renewable energy. This awareness is the key to being able to match and/or exceed the competition in this niche market. 1.2 Mission [YOUR COMPANY NAME]'s mission is to be a substantial proponent of the transition from this country's reliance on fossil fuels to the use of renewable energy technology. We encourage sustainability with the understanding that sustainability necessarily connotes consideration for all of the repercussions of one's actions. Therefore, [YOUR COMPANY NAME] promotes that consumers, commercial, and government entities take responsibility for their direct impact on the environment. We hope to educate those who are able to make these positive changes and, in doing so, to show them that the "green" paradigm shift is not as difficult as one might think. 1.3 Keys to Success We must expand our client base, which is currently concentrated in [YOUR STATE/PROVINCE]. Expanding to Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and California will make us a primary provider for the entire southwest of The United States. Expansion on this level can only occur with intelligent, uniformly trained employees to meet the demands of increased business. 2.0 Company Summary [YOUR COMPANY NAME] is owned and operated by [YOUR NAME], CEO.
