 Include the general nature of the business, what your
product or service is and why it is unique, and why you
believe the business will be successful.
Introduction
The nature of my idea is to provide a service that no one really likes doing. Cleaning your
pet waste. It's unique to the area in that there is none like it. The Johnstown region has a
growing elderly population. The city alone has around 21,691 people, 45% of those are
50+. 20-30% are 62+. At the same time the younger generations are moving away.

Executive Summary Write the Executive Summary section last!

[Company information]
[Market opportunity]
What product or service do you provide? What is your
competitive advantage? When will the company be formed?
What are your company objectives? What is the
background of you and your management team?

What is the expected size and growth rate of your market,

your expected market share, and any relevant market
trends?

Benefits to the Community
Economic Development
Jobs created by this company would be 1-2 in the first year in general work. After the
first year or two I see one in a manager position and another couple in general work, and
possibly even more
Purchases from the company would benefit local businesses. When possible I will buy
locally made products.
Community Development
It would benefit the elderly the most. With 45% over 50 it would greatly help them to
enjoy a companion without having to clean up after them.
Human Development
The company will help employees by giving them a good pay and eventually move up as
the business grows.

Company Analysis
Form of Business Ownership
It will be a sole-proprietorship. This is the simplest form. I will have sole control and
responsibility, I retain all the profits. As the business grows I can change it as I wish.
Either to a partnership or an L.L.C and so on.
Getting all permits and licenses
This will be a newly started business.
About the Company
It will satisfy a need in this area for everyone. Some elderly could maybe have a pet that
they couldn't care for. Help protect them in the winter from cleaning up after them.
There isn't a company like it in area.

Industry Analysis
The business would operate under Pet Care/Waste Disposal
There are no competiters in area

Opportunities could be pretty good for growth in the coverage area and in services
provided. Could expand to pet supply delivery, pet sitting.
There is chance for using e business
