I am writing a business plan for an Internet start-up company that will provide services. As you will see below, I have an urgent need for marketing assistance. I must know if my concept will be viable, and if not, I will need assistance revising my business concept. Eventually, I will need advice with respect to finance, management, and IT.Please see the following descriptions for further information:
Marketing – I need a market analysis (including target market segmentation) and a service business analysis (including competition and buying patterns) that are substantial enough for a business plan and that will enable me to examine whether the business will go forward as planned. This is critical!
Finance — A Sales Forecast and a Sales Strategy are two projections with which I will need assistance once the marketing analysis is in place. I will also need help with a Financial Plan (start-up funding, break-even analysis, projected P/L, gross margin, and balance sheet). In addition, there are tables to complete that I need someone to draft. Income will be generated by advertising as the site will be free for [at least] six (6) months.
Management – Later, I will need someone to advise me with respect to the most optimal way to organize the company’s management structure. Specifically, I will need advice concerning the positions that will be essential given the corporate focus and how each department should be established for optimal efficiency and effectiveness.
IT — Because the web site will emphasize technology and interactivity, I am very interested in having someone with IT experience and training review my ideas and provide ideas as to other features that can be added now or in the future, as the technology develops. In other words, I would greatly value the input of someone who will look forward to what the site can be.
None of the positions will be paid but equity interests will be granted based upon the value of the contribution made and the success of the corporation. Additional details will be made available to those who complete and execute a Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement.
I am especially but not exclusively interested in persons living in the Denver, Colorado area. If you are interested, please call me at 303-707-3804 (work) or 303-797-1096 (home), or write to me at jlbrow7@yahoo.com. Your correspondence will be held in the strictest confidence. (FYI - I am a licensed attorney who practiced tax law for 10 years).
