Executive Summary

The Dollar Store is a start-up retail store in Bend, Oregon that provides interesting merchandise options at bargain prices. Financing will come from the private investments of owners Ted Brinkman and Jim Spencer. They will donate equity that will be cleared at the end of 36 months. Dividends will be paid quarterly on the outstanding equity.

The Dollar Store will be incorporated as an LLC corporation. This will shield the owners from issues of personal liability and double taxation. The investors will be treated as shareholders and therefore will not be liable for more than their personal investments. The majority owner Ted Brinkman, will contribute from his personal savings toward this business venture. With an agressive marketing plan The Dollar Store expects to experience steady growth as it becomes more familiar to the general public.

With the financing in place The Dollar Store will be able to successfully open and maintain operations through year one. The large capital investments of the owners will provide the public with a unique and innovative store that will cater to the needs of those on fixed incomes such as low income families, the elderly, and the large student population in the Bend area. The successful operation of the Dollar Store will provide a customer base that will allow it to be self-sufficient.
