I-Drive Stoke Ltd. – Car & Van Rental
THE OWNER
The proposed venture is organised by Mr. Mark Smith who is at present the owner
of the successful Property managed business “I-PROPERTIES LTD.”. With a
substantial experience in the area of business management and a very well
established client base Mr. Smith is ideally positioned to undertake this venture.
OBJECTIVES
Our aim is to provide a local
Car and Van Rental Service
in Stoke at a completive
market rates. In addition to the core business of car rental we are also planning to
provide
Caravan Storage Facility
. We believe that this service will be particular
popular as it will provide caravan owners with a very cost effective (£15 pounds
per week) and totally secure way of storing their caravans. As well as the above
we are also planning to create the facility to
store Damaged Vehicles
. This facility
can be used by individuals as well as other businesses. Finally we also will be
offering a
Damaged Vehicles Recovery
service.
Based on such a diversified structure of the proposed business we believe that it
will be a very stable and profitable venture.
MARKET RESEARCH
We envisage that the following points will be our keys to successfully establishing
the new business:
-−
Our large client database already includes many addresses of satisfied
customers from the Stoke area and beyond.
−
Many of these customers have asked us when we will open a car rental
business.
−
We have already established a partnership arrangement for the Damaged
Vehicle Storage facility with another local business.
−
At present there are no available Caravan storage facilities available in the
local area.
−
Based on our market research the prices for Car & Van rental are very
completive comparing to the competition.

PROJECTIONS
The attached cash flow, profit and loss and balance sheet projections are based
on the following assumptions and estimates:
-−
The business will have the capacity to rent out:
4 Medium Cars
- at the rate of £35 per day
4 Large Cars
- at the rate of £50 per day
3 Small Vans

4 Large Vans

We estimate for the vehicle to be initially occupied 10 days per month with the
growth up-to 20 days per month by November.
−
The business will be able to store up-to 20 caravans at the rate of £15 per
week.
−
The business will store on average 5 damaged vehicles at the rate of £12 per
week.
−
Initial sales in the first month are estimated at £8,300.
−
An estimated £20,000 sales per month is envisaged from December 2006
once the business has reached its full capacity.
Running cash outflow is estimated to be approximately £19,000 per month once
the initial setup process is completed.
−
Depreciation on vehicles over 5 years on a straight line basis
−
Interest on the loan of £50,000 repayable over 15 years has been calculated
at 5.5% p.a.
