For my business proposal, I have decided to keep it simple by considering a golf range. Being an avid golfer, I know how important it is to have an illustrious range to fire off as many horrible and game winning shots as you can without keeping track of them on a sometimes treacherous scorecard. There will always be a need for ranges, because it is a necessity to all golfers who are looking to improve their game; but nevertheless, improvement comes with a cost. And a cost to them… is a profit to me! By choosing to own a golf range, I know that I will never be the next Bill Gates or Donald Trump, but I will have a lifetime link to the game I have grown to love. It is not always the money that makes people happy, it’s the people. A great example of this is “Carol the lunch lady.“ She tells all the students that she will never be filthy rich, but she has enough money to pay her bills and she’s her own boss, and that is the most important thing to her. Personally, I agree with this. I feel that when you are choosing a business/ career you should ask yourself if you can get up everyday for the rest of your life and be happy about doing it. The first, and largest, barrier that I will have to be able to conquer is the . . .
Now that I have my location and funds for my proprietorship, I can almost be assured that opening day is no longer a night-time dream. If your business does fail, heaven forbid, they will not be out the whole amount, just the part they invested. Another reason I would try not to borrow from a bank, is that I would have to put up something for collateral or equity, which I just don’t have, so I’ll have to turn to friends or family anyway for a co-signer. Giving me almost guaranteed clientele. After I have acquired adequate funds for my proposal, one of my final decisions before construction is the location. I personally was a great customer there because it was the only range left on the west side of town. And getting clientele is one of the hardest things to accomplish when starting a new business. 10,000 range balls $4,000 25 carpet hitting mats 800 26 steel dividers 2,600 200 yards of net 75’ high 3,500 125 yards of net 35’ high 5,000 A small simple structure for 1 or 2 people to work (includes restrooms) 25,000 A beat up truck I can drive around to pick up balls 5,000 Mechanism that attaches to truck to pick up balls 1,000 Few old clubs for customers that don’t have any 100 25 small buckets ( holds 25 balls) 125 25 medium buckets ( holds 50 balls) 125 25 large buckets ( holds 100 balls) 125 A barren piece of land 15,000 Poured cement for hitting area 2,000 Grass seed and fertilizer 1,000 Yardage markers 500 Coved hitting area ( awning) 10,000 total = 75,875 I don’t feel that the startup cost is that much considering once I’m fully set up I will never have those fees again. One of the main reasons are their interest rates. After a few months go by and my barren piece of land is now a golfer’s holy land. When you try to go out and get the rest of your money, having an investor, or partial lender that shows interest, gives future investors a warm fuzzy feeling that they are not the only ones willing to stick their necks out for you.
