just screwing around with numbers is fun (yes there is more, but NO i am not sharing... YET)

$600k invest
$1.69M in profit total after 5 years
171% ROI in 5 years

I know we haven't had much luck with "Get Rich Quick" schemes in the past, but I KNOW we're gonna get rich with this scheme, AND QUICK!

How conservative was his business plan?
maybe he wasn't no. 1 but he was fairly high up there.

edit: there's no. 1

as for his business plan details i'm not sure. i think he went a couple years without paying himself, living off his commissions from his previous life selling diagnostic imaging equipment to the arabs

Let me get this straight, you're asking whether or not we'd make 338k/year for the next 5 years if we had the option to do so or not? If it's plausible (probable) of course, if it's just another "oh man this sounds like a GREAT idea" .. of course not.

Its probable from my research... though if i add in something i just learned, 600k initial investment makes profitability difficult... 600k initial is a number, i am being conservative with my marketshare, and liberal with my costs, including initial investment.

Well, if you're this good with business plans and investment, why come to ATOT and ask? If you can make a probable 338k a year .. do it?

I have no previous business idea history, i have never made a plan before, and i have never written a feasibility study before...

this is all for a class, but the idea, and numbers are VERY real...

Feasibility study for class is due tuesday...

Are we assuming that we already have the skills/knowledge associated with this industry to do this.

not personally, but the ability to obtain the resources is at hand...

and, the WORST possible scenario i can come up with (reducing initial investment, and halving the market, as well as margins) you get 18% ROI per year with profitability after 4 years (which sucks).

I am still attempting to determine what my initial investment needs to be. So I am trying to guess high, with low numbers else where.
