Executive Summary
• I am looking to open a business that will help kids with improving in their
baseball skills so that they can become better baseball player. Field rental is
free as long as the business works when the city does not have any baseball
games on the baseball diamond. I am looking for money to purchase a couple of
baseball bats and a bunch of baseballs for this business. I would also need a tee
to help the kids with hitting the baseball. A decent tee costs about $30.
Baseballs cost around $67 dollars for 24 balls. The business would need 3
buckets for using for hitting and fielding that way when we are hitting we have
2 buckets to throw before we need to pick up the baseballs. Baseball bats cost
anywhere from $24 to $150 dollars. The kids should have their own baseball
bats so we would only get 2 bats for me to use for hitting the kids the ball for
fielding. These bats are Fungo Bats and cots around $50. I would need about
$1000 total for the bats, the tee and balls plus money to get my ads out there
so people would come to my clinic.
Business Description
• The industry is very popular right now as a lot of youth are playing
baseball and could use some help to get better in the way that
they play. In the area where I am interested in opening the
business there is only one place for improving your baseball skills
and that is Bullett Proof Baseball Academy. I would be charging
$30 for one hour or if the parents want a bundle of 10 lessons the
price would be 10 lessons for $250. Depending on what the kids
want to improve their parents would tell me and then we would
spend the hour working on that skill.
Market Strategies
• The Business would run from once the snow has melted until the
30th of October. This is the ideal time frame as this would help
them before the season and it would continue 2 months after the
season ends so they can still practice their skills when trying out
for rep baseball. There would only be one manager and that
manager takes care of the financial part, scheduling lessons,
replying to email, running the lessons and marketing so the
business can make a profit on the lessons.
