EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Overview of Office Hunters Limited

Office Hunters is a new recruitment agent consulting business based in a busy city centre. The
business is set up and run by Thomas Richards who has nine years experience of managing three
successful agencies. The premises are currently used by another agency and are close to road, bus
and rail networks.

Market Size and Opportunities

The local area has two large business parks housing 78 small to medium sized businesses. There
are also three national headquarter buildings within four miles and the local economy is growing
faster than the UK average. Market research suggests over 375 vacancies are advertised and
recruited on an annual basis.

There are two other agencies in the area specialising in contract and temporary staff and Office
Hunters will fill the gap in the market for permanent professionals, administration staff and the
provision for senior management head hunting.

We believe in three years our expertise will enable us to penetrate 35% of the market.

Services Offered by the Business

We will offer the following core services from our high street offices:

 Permanent recruitment and placement of business professionals

 Contract and temporary recruitment and placement
 Senior personal head hunting services

Professionals cover accountants, marketing, general management, project management and

operations. Our core target market is middle to senior level managers.

Forecast Margins and Revenues

Revenues projected in year one are £265,000 with this increasing by 42% for the subsequent two
years as relationships and the business develops. Net profits are forecast at 28% before tax and
interest. The Director will invest £60,000 into the business and the plan requires a further £70,000
from bank finance. The office space is secured via a lease for ten years with a three year break.

Management and Staffing Requirements

In year one there will be a requirement for three executive consultants managing the recruitment and
one administration assistant. Mr Richards will work full time in the business. One additional
consultant will be recruited in years two and three.
