5 LEADERSHIP is the founder and owner of Helping Hands 24hr Moving Helper Service. Cory will be responsible for all operations at the company including ordering equipment, hiring and managing employees, customer service and marketing. Cory s hard work ethic and moving experience will allow him to achieve success at the company. Cory brings more than eight years of moving experience to Helping Hands 24 hr Moving Helper Service. Cory has participated in Men s Life Road to Authentic Manhood program for three months at the PEP program. Cory has also achieved his General Equivalency Diploma while in boot camp at the Harris County facility in Atascocita in [20xx]. SERVICE OFFERING Helping Hands 24hr Moving and Moving Helper Services offers the ultimate moving experience. We will begin full-time operation in the summer of We will begin offering our service in the Houston area. Approximately 50% of our annual revenue will be made up from our premium moving services (full-service, including transportation, equipment, supplies, and labor) and the other 50% will be made up from our moving helper service (labor only). Helping Hands provides professional service and protection to our customer s property. The protection we provide consists of blankets with shrink wrapping to prevent scratches, straps to prevent shifting or sliding which leads to damages, and full insurance in case anything breaks or goes wrong. We differ from our competitors because we offer an around the clock service to our customers. As opposed to other companies, we offer a complete service which includes a truck, boxes, tape, equipment and man power. Alternatively we can provide just man power if that is all that is needed by the customer. We plan to expand our service to Austin and surrounding areas after establishing a service base in Houston, and then shifting our marketing and promotions into these areas. Helping Hands will offer a better, more efficient way to be moved from place to place. MARKET Approximately 13% of Americans move every year. That s a total of 16.7mm American households. The moving industry produces revenues of $16.5 billion annually in the United States. The Houston market is the 7 th most active metro area, with 15 thousand shipments (full services moves) in
6 The moving industry is consistently growing at a rate of 3-5% per year, consistent with the growth of population and the economy. Houston has a year round moving season, but it slows down in the winter, due to the cold weather and increases in the summer as families move while school is out. There is an estimated 50+ moving companies operating in Houston at this time. So it is obvious that with the expansion of Houston (the 3rd largest city in America) and its population, this industry will grow along with it. Helping Hands moving service s target market is lower to middle upper class. The average household income in Houston is $45,000. Demographics data shows that over 35% hold white-collar jobs, which makes this an attractive market. It is also important to note that 29% of moving occurs for households with incomes of $100,000 and over. COMPETITION Our two biggest competitors on a national level will be Mayflower and Allied, our three closest regional competitors are Los Flores Movers, 3 Men Movers and Houston Movers for Less. Since we will take pride in ultimately saving the customer money, we believe that networking between satisfied businessmen will help us stand out from our competition. With the barrier of entry being so low in his field, we could possibly face new potential competition. DIFFERENTIATION Dependability is also one of our biggest benefits. We will execute on the efficiency, speed and quality of our services. We will offer satisfaction surveys after every job available on-line for every customer this will help increase our credibility and grow our list of referrals. We will also offer reasonable prices, based on the pricing of our competitors. Helping Hands approach to customer service, attention to detail, commitment to dependability and accessibility will be what differentiates us. MARKETING STRATEGY Price Helping Hands will price match competitors. We have based our prices off of our competitors, but rates may vary. Place Helping Hands will be located near the southwest freeway on the southwest side of town. This convenient location will allow easy access to enter and exit the freeway. 5

10 FINANCIAL SUMMARY Helping Hands 24 Hour Moving and Moving Helping Service s revenue model 1 is based on selling the following services: Moving at an average price of $ This service has a direct labor cost of $65.00 and owner s labor charge of $40.00 producing a gross profit of $ for each service sold. He projects selling 1,420 of these in the first year for revenues of $. Packing at an average price of $ This service has a direct labor cost of $22.00 and owner s labor charge of $40.00 producing a gross profit of $38.00 for each service sold. He projects selling 110 of these in the first year for revenues of $11,000. Cleaning at an average price of $ This service has a direct labor cost of $33.00 and owner s labor charge of $70.00 producing a gross profit of $47.00 for each service sold. He projects selling 590 of these in the first year for revenues of $88,500. This will generate more than $837,900 in first-year revenues with a net profit of more than $315,900. This is a 38% net margin after deducting $149,300 in total owner compensation ($33,000 in cash withdrawals and $116,300 in income taxes). Helping Hands 24 Hour Moving and Moving Service will have a positive cash flow in the second month of operations. FINANCING STRATEGY Helping Hands 24 Hour Moving and Moving Service will start in Total start-up funding is $50,000. This amount will cover all expenses and other start-up costs. Cory will save $50,000 in 30 months of employment in the chemical industry. Cory does not seek any outside financing. 1 The revenue model in the Executive Summary includes money paid for non-owner labor plus the economic value of the owner s labor (not necessarily cash paid). Initially, the business will be unincorporated and, as such, receives no tax deduction for money paid to the owner. A deduction for owner s labor is included in the Executive Summary so the reader can assess the pro forma gross profit of the products and/or services. Estimating this pro forma gross profit requires the PEP participant to value his time in calculating a realistic sales price for his company s services. The attached financial projections differ in that non-owner labor is included in cost of goods sold, and money withdrawn by the owner is shown as owner withdrawals after calculating the business s tax expense but before net income. 9
11 DBA Helping Hands 24hr. Moving & Moving Helping Service Assumptions Used in Projected Income and Cash Flow Statements Year 1 Note 1 Business Organization and Taxation The business is a sole proprietorship and, accordingly, all taxes are the personal liability of the owner. The revenue model (note 4) includes a deduction for the owner's labor to mirror the cost structure of an incorporated business. This owner labor charge is deducted in calculating pro forma gross profit but is not included in the income statement presentation in arriving at taxable income. The income statement reports owner withdrawals after calculating tax expense and before net income. The income statement assumes a flat 25% federal tax rate (10% personal income tax and 15% self employment tax). Federal taxes are paid quarterly. Note 2 Accounting Method The financials assume that all revenues are collected in the month of sale and all expenses are paid in the month the obligation is incurred. The financial statements assume there will be no accounts receivable and no accounts payable. Note 3 Start-up costs The projected financials assume the business will secure initial financing and pay start-up expenses in month 1. Sales and normal operating activities will begin in month 2.
