industry.

As the Curriculum Vitae in this plan highlights, I also hold formal qualifications in the
area of proposed business services, and have attended a business start-up course to
familiarise myself with the basic information needed at this stage.
The major reason behind my desire to establish the business is that in 2008 I spent
some months as a full-time solo father, and during this period decided that for the
future sustainability of my lifestyle, I needed flexibility and the opportunity to control
my own destiny. I have invested in the business idea some of my private savings,
plus a suspended loan from my father, which I intend to repay during year two of my
business. This loan will be drawn down as needed (see cashflow projection)
I am totally confident that Western Landscaping will be established on a firm basis,
with an excellent future. The Business Plan has been completed with the assistance
of a Business Coach from the local Enterprise Development Agency, and is designed
to support my idea and allow me a realistic overview of the viability of the proposal.
