Prepare a 12- to 15-slide PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes requesting initial funding of $500,000 to start and run a start-up company. The proposed start-up company could be an existing business model (coffee shop, pet store, etc.), or could be something entirely new and exciting.
Create the presentation in the following format, with at least one slide to cover each of the following areas:
- Title Page
- Table of Contents
- Executive Summary
- Information about the Industry
- Marketing Plan
- Competitor Analysis
- 3 Year Income Statement (Profit & Loss) Projections
- Your assumptions for why and how you will achieve your sales growth and what significant expenses and investments you expect to incur to achieve your revenue goals
- 3 Year Proposed Funding Schedule (sources and uses of the funds received)
- Break-Even Analysis
- Academic and Business References
Review the following scenarios and assumption, and explain how it impacts your decision to expand:
- After Year 3, the investors are interested in your company expanding internationally to possibly outsource labor or to reduce manufacturing costs. What countries would you expand to first, and why? What factors would you need to consider in making this decision?
- What is the corporate tax rate in the countries you are considering expanding your business to, and how will that affect your decision to expand globally? (Use OECD Database or another resource to determine the corporate tax rate).
- The investors want to see a decision tree detailing the decisions you would make if you received $300K now and $200K at the end of three years instead of $500K up front.
- The investors would like your team to provide advantages and disadvantages of using debt financing versus selling company stock to raise capital for growth.
- Briefly explain the venture capital process. Does it make sense for your company to raise funds through venture capital?
Format your presentation according to APA guidelines.

the marketing plan for the proposed coffee shop, an analysis of the existing competition, a three-year projection of profit or loss, and assumptions on how grow the
sales of the company.
2
The proposed name of the coffee shop is Mamba Cups
The shop will open every day of the week from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM
Mamba Cups will provide a pleasant and conducive environment for customers
The coffee prices will be affordable
Mamba Cups will also offer snacks
Executive Summary

coffee and enjoy snacks at reasonable prices. Customers will also have a range of choices such as soft drinks, fast snacks, coffee, and Milo. The various
types of snacks will be muffins, coffee cakes, and breakfast sandwiches that are flavored with ginger and cinnamon.
3
The business will be located at WestPoint City
It will target anybody who enjoys coffee
With city has a population of 35000 people
Mamba Cups coffee shop will face competition from Coffee Stop shop located at 824 Kobe Bryant Street
Marketing Plan
Among the 35,000 people living at WestPoint City, an estimated 27,000 people are above 18 years. This forms a suitable target population. This also implies that this
segment of customers can avail themselves during prime hours of the morning and evening. The main competition for Mamba Cups coffee shop is likely to come
from Coffee Stop shop located at Street ABC in the eastern part of WestPoint City. Mamba Cups’ main strength is that the shop appears prestigious and stylish.
Further, the shop has ample parking space for customer’s vehicles.
4
Mamba Cups plans to offer delivery services to customers’ offices
There will be coupons that customers can redeem
The global production of coffee has increased by 10% over the last 2 years
Production will increase by 25% over the next 5 years
Marketing Plan (Cont’d)
Mamba Cups plans to offer delivery services to customer’s places of work. It will also offer customers coupons that they can redeem. This will be a great way to attract
and retain customers. With over 5 years of existence in business, Mamba Cups has already established good customer rapport. Increasing consumption of coffee
products, the global production of coffee has been increasing over the last one decade. Statistics show that, over the last two years, coffee production worldwide
has increased by 10%. This is projected to rise to 25% over the next five years (Vegro & Almeida, 2020). This implies that consumption of coffee products is on a rising
trend.

The following are the methods that will be used for publicizing Mamba Cups Coffee shop: Posters and flyers given out to customers
Internet advertising through the company website and other websites
Offering discounted means once in a while

To reach out to both new and existing clients, Mamba Cups will combine several marketing methods. For instance, posters and flyers will be designed, printed and

handed out to customers who visit the establishment. Some will also be stuck on pathways. Posters and flyers will be a perfect marketing method because of their
visual nature. Secondly, the business will make use of internet marketing. This will be done through the website of the business. When combined with proper search
engine optimization, internet advertising goes a long way in ensuring that the shop gets highly ranked by search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, among others.
Thirdly, Mamba Cups will offer discounted meals that will be aimed at attracting customers to give them a taste of the foods and drinks that the shop provides. Finally,
social media will be used to target potential customers since most of them use social media platforms.

Analysis of Competitors
Mamba Cups coffee shop has three main competitors. The major one is Coffee Stop. It has three main strengths which are; being in operation for the last five
years, offers deliver services and has already earned the trust of customers.
4
The second competitor is Century Fast Foods. Its main strengths are that it has high quality products and its staff are friendly. Century Fast Foods has several
weaknesses. For instance, the company lacks enough staff and the available ones are incompetent. Further, the premise is built in an area which is hidden and
unattractive. The third rival is Brandstakes. Its main strengths are the fact that its website is active and allows customers to make orders online and has a spacious
parking lot. The weaknesses of the company are that it lacks enough staff and the available ones are incompetent. In addition to this, Brandstakes is a new entrant in
to the market.

To win against its rivals, Mamba Cups will spend $10,000 on internet advertising, $5,000 on flyers and posters, and 10,000 on discounted meals. This will amount to a
total of $20,000.

3-Year Income Projections
Given the size of operation, location, and the uniqueness of Mamba Cups’ business idea, it would be reasonable to assume that sales will exceed operating costs.
However, the projections used in this plan are based on a conservative estimate.

The main source of financing for Mamba Cups coffee shop will be willing and potential investors. The funds will be used to finance operations. For any business to
prosper and thrive, it should have sufficient capital. Without adequate funds, businesses crumble. This is what often causes startups or even existing businesses to
seek financial help from the various available sources.
3 Year Proposed Funding Schedule
Break even analysis shows the point in which the company’s yearly sales revenue must reach in order to reach a break-even point. Mamba Cups coffee shop
needs to make sales of $ 1,400,000 to reach a break-even point. The above sales will be able to cover all the expenditure and the direct cost of sales.
Break-Even Analysis
Mamba Cups plans to expand to China
The country is highly mechanized
China is also highly populated
Other factors to consider when expanding are: foreign business regulations, political stability, and the general lifestyle of the country
Expanding to Another Country
There are several reasons why Mamba Cups plans to expand into China. For instance, the country is highly mechanized. There is wide acceptance of technology
business dealings. This will help our company to use the technology to safe on operations costs. China is also among the countries in the world that are highly
populated and hence there is a good supply of both skilled and unskilled labor. There will be supply of cheap labor in China. The factors that I should consider when
expanding internationally include; Foreign business regulations, political stability in the foreign country, the preference and the general lifestyle in the international
markets. 13
In China, the tax rate is 25% This could decrease to 15% within the next few years
The tax rate is quite conducive for business environment
The net profits generated in China are better off than what would be generated in the home country (Li, Pittman, & Wang, 2019).

The main source of financing for Mamba Cups coffee shop will be willing and potential investors. The funds will be used to finance operations. For any business to
prosper and thrive, it should have sufficient capital. Without adequate funds, businesses crumble. This is what often causes startups or even existing businesses to
seek financial help from the various available sources.

Break-Even Analysis
Mamba Cups plans to expand to China
The country is highly mechanized
China is also highly populated
Other factors to consider when expanding are: foreign business regulations, political stability, and the general lifestyle of the country
Expanding to Another Country
There are several reasons why Mamba Cups plans to expand into China. For instance, the country is highly mechanized. There is wide acceptance of technology
business dealings. This will help our company to use the technology to safe on operations costs. China is also among the countries in the world that are highly
populated and hence there is a good supply of both skilled and unskilled labor. There will be supply of cheap labor in China. The factors that I should consider when
expanding internationally include; Foreign business regulations, political stability in the foreign country, the preference and the general lifestyle in the international
markets. 13
In China, the tax rate is 25% This could decrease to 15% within the next few years
The tax rate is quite conducive for business environment
The net profits generated in China are better off than what would be generated in the home country (Li, Pittman, & Wang, 2019).
