Description of Venture
a. This is a prospectus for the Daycare Little Angels, which will have 24 hour services for children ages 2 months old to age 13.We will serve the need of parents for quality care of the children while they work. Little Angels offers quality care, flexible hours, and competitive pricing. The company would start as a home –based daycare with six children and then expand into a larger facility to accommodate 100 children in the next year.
b. The home-based facility will be a test run to see if the 24 hour daycare service is needed in the area. We will do extensive research in the area for the economy, the number of residents in the area, salary cap of residents, how many businesses are in the vicinity of the daycare, and how many schools in the area, competition, and hours or work times.
The daycare has to research prices for equipment, expenses, safety provisions, CPR
classes, personnel, enrollment price, find out about zoning, receipt books, local, state, and
federal laws, legal expenses for licensing fee, liability, fire and theft insurance, security
gate, background checks, playground equipment, sand or mulch, my utilities, food,
furniture, chairs, books, diapers, music stereo, the cost of outlet plugs, cabinet locks.
Development Concept
a. The daycare will purchase a facility with 1,300 sq. feet, a fenced in yard, furnished with playground equipment, play sand, and a sandbox in the second year. We will add a covered deck to the rear of the facility for outdoor time and lunch when the weather permits.
b. According to "Www.sbdc.net" (2015), " US child care services industry includes about 53,000 commercial facilities with combined annual revenue of $20 billion, plus about 21,000 facilities run by nonprofit organizations with combined annual revenue of about $13 billion.”
The target market will be full time working parents with 80% business ratios, we found that 20% of the revenue will come from part-time workers and drop-ins so we have included them too, with a referral marketing strategy. According to "Www.sbdc.net" (2015), "In addition to slowly improving economic conditions, recent increases in birthrates also are contributing to growing demand for daycare services. The net result is that daycare industry employment is estimated to increase 2.8% per year on average to 1.9 million.”
