Religious Coffeeshop Business Plan Leave a comment

Inspirational Grounds will provide a relaxing, Christian-focused, neighborhood-centered place with freshly roasted coffee, specialty drinks, good books, and music. Inspiring Grounds can meet the growing demand. Our target market wants:

• South Central Minneapolis neighborhood business
• Excellent coffee at a reasonable price
• A place where you can socialize with other people with similar interests

Inspirational grounds’ aim is to offer a safe, friendly environment for Christian neighbors in an informal, non-denominational setting.

Inspirational Grounds is incorporated as an S corporation. This protects the owner from double taxation and personal liability.

This proposal has been prepared for financing in the amount $80,000. The supplemental financing is required to prepare the selected site, purchase equipment, and cover expenses during the first year of operation. The owner will invest $15,000 of her own into the business.

Inspirational Grounds is able to successfully open its doors and continue operations thanks to this financing. Inspirational Grounds will be able to offer its customers a welcoming atmosphere and high quality products thanks to the large capital investment. Customers need to feel comfortable in a unique, innovative and upscale environment. Inspirational Grounds will have a strong customer base in its first year of operation, which will enable it to become self-sufficient in the second.

Even with our conservative forecast for sales, we will still have positive cash flow every month, repay the loan over 12 years, as well as a positive net worth above $27,000 in year three. In the next three years, our net profits should increase from $12,000 to $14,000.

1.3 Mission

An alternative or addition to the local church is a nearby shop that offers excellent freshly roasted coffee, non-denominational Christian literature and tapes. Inspirational Grounds offers specialty beverages, including coffee/espresso and information that enhance the spiritual experience of our customers. We know that people who are interested in spiritual growth need a destination and not just a place to go. Therefore, we offer them both.

Our goal is not to be a secular place, but to be the destination for Christian Coffee Drinkers who are looking for an alternative environment in the Twin Cities. Inspirational Grounds is open to all ages and backgrounds. It offers an innovative, educational, motivating, and upscale environment.

We believe it is important that we remain active members of the community, and have an impact on the lives of our customers in more ways than just selling specialty drinks.
