Scope Statement for Cupcake Heaven
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
To open a café in an outdoor shopping mall in Destin, FL. The businesses focus will be high-quality cupcakes for an affordable price with an added catering service for special occasions.
I will operate a 1700 square foot commercial space within easy walking distance from the Outdoor Shopping Mall. I have secured this location through a two year lease with an option for extending. I have also provided 25% of the required $80,000 start-up funds. The remaining capital will be obtained through a local Bank with a commercial loan. The rented commercial space is furnished and has a kitchen which is fully loaded (commercial dishwasher, oven, refrigerator and dishes, pots, and pants). The monthly rent will be $2,500 and other monthly costs, such as utilities, electricity, and other services are estimated to be around $2,000. This number is rather higher than too low. With my start-up funds I will have to turn this space into a comfortable cupcake cafe, I will also have to purchase certain kitchen equipment, such as mixers and special tools for decoration, and I have to stack up on ingredients for the first month.
