Description:
This Business Plan has been prepared to present The Luwak Cafe to potential investors in order
to raise the capital necessary to open a unique cafe in the city of Kelowna BC.
The Luwak Cafe, unlike a typical cafe, will provide its customers with a unique, upscale, and
innovative environment along with an atmosphere that will spawn socialization and
communication. Luwak Cafe's goal is to provide a place for the community to come together
and enjoy the communal atmosphere, and help evolve local businesses along the way.
Luwak Cafe is faced with the exciting opportunity of being surrounded by many local and new
businesses in Kelowna looking for enhanced advertising possibilities. The consistent popularity
of coffee, combined with the growing interest in the Internet, and home based businesses, has
proven to be a winning concept in other markets and will produce the same results in Kelowna.
This business plan is prepared to obtain financing in the amount of $300,000. The financing will
be used to begin work on site preparation and modifications, equipment purchases, and to
cover expenses in the first year of operations. Presently Luwak Cafe is acquiring additional
funds for the startup and first year of operations in the form of: (1) Personal savings, (2) Small
business loan, (3) Business grants.
The financing, in addition to the capital contributions from the owner, shareholders and the
acquired grants, will allow Luwak Cafe to successfully open and maintain operations through
year one and will provide Luwak Cafe with a customer base that will allow it to be self-sufficient
in year two and beyond.
