Dear Ms. Cox,
With over four years of Lead Installer experience with Re-Bath, we are requesting a loan to buy our own Re-Bath franchise, in Texas’ Montgomery County. Re-Bath is a franchise operation that specializes in bathroom remodels in homes that are 15 years or older. It has been in operation for over twenty years with over 200 franchises worldwide, and is the largest bathroom remodeling franchise in the industry. The climate for a successful Re-Bath in Montgomery County is perfect. Montgomery County, TX is the 24th fastest growing county in the United States. Between 1990 and 2009 90,393 houses were built in Montgomery County. Sixty-three percent of the residential areas built between 1990 and 2009 were middle to high income households that are due for a 15 year remodel. We will be buying an already existing franchise store in Montgomery, TX that has an excellent reputation and has seen between 25 and 30 percent growth from 2009 to 2011. Our target market is owners of homes that are 15 years or older that are due for a bathroom remodel, in addition to commercial business owners. We plan to reach this target market with focused marketing, which you will read about in our business plan. In addition, we have a good working relationship with suppliers and the community since the Re-Bath we are purchasing has been in operation for three years. Re-Bath has become the largest bathroom remodeling franchise in its industry due to its convenience, affordability, and quality products. These attributes, along with a lifetime guarantee have allowed Re-Bath to beat out local competition and spread the word of our superior service through satisfied customers. We are investing $15k in savings and are requesting a $200K loan from your bank. We would like seven years to repay the loan, using the cash flow of the business. Our secondary source of repayment will be from collateralized equipment. Our house and two vehicles, valued at $153,300.00, are offered as collateral for the loan. Our business plan is attached; in it you will find the information you need. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact Mr. Matt Vonruden at (512) 367-3281. Respectfully Submitted, Matt Vonruden Daniel Vonruden

1.3 Keys to Success
Marketing: Creating a desire for our services above all competitors is a key to our continued success, as well as
creating the perception that we are the top of the line.
Craftsmanship: No matter how good the marketing program is, poor-quality of work will destroy our base referral business. It will also take us out of our high end market.
Communication: Our communication systems, both internally and with our customers, are the key to excellent performance - projects completed on schedule, on budget and to our customers' satisfaction. We also must ensure that the customer feels like we have been responsive to his/her every request so that we can get a good referral.
Building Material prices: In order to turn a profit, we need to have a good feel for the prices of materials in our area, and where to get the best deals.
Company Summary
Over the past 30 years Re-Bath has become the largest bathroom remodeling franchise in the bathroom remodeling industry. With over 200 franchise locations, this company owes its success to its innovative Dura bath SSP™ material and a quick, affordable one stop solution to customer’s remodeling needs. Re-Bath typically services bathrooms that are 15 years old and guarantees its products with a lifetime warranty.
2.1 Company Ownership

Market Analysis Summary
The Woodlands Re-Bath is focusing on both the commercial and residential markets of Montgomery County, with the residential being about 83% of the overall volume of the company.
As housing prices fall, potential clients will be more apt to remodel their high-end bathrooms, rather than try to sell them. Medium income clients will be more apt to remodel their older homes in order to increase their appeal and market value.

4.1 Market Segmentation
In an era of decreasing residential property values and relatively stable rates of personal income growth, The Woodlands Re-Bath is focusing on two segments of the residential remodeling market:
1) Neighborhoods where homeowners have achieved success in their careers and have room in their budget for investment in their homes, but are not eager to incur a much higher mortgage payment by selling their house and 'buying up.' [Such targeted neighborhoods have housing stock with room to expand and are deemed to be worth the upgrade expenditures.]
2) New build communities. Texas' Montgomery county is the 24th fastest growing county in the United States and for this reason, The Woodlands Re-Bath will target these communities for future sales. Re-Bath intends on becoming a household name for these communities.
About 17% of The Woodlands Re-Bath overall volume consists of remodeling projects for businesses.
1900 – 1989: 66, 135 houses were built in Montgomery County, TX.
1990 – 1999: 40,795 houses were built in Montgomery County, TX.
2000 – 2009: 49,598 houses were built in Montgomery County, TX.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy
Re-Bath’s targeted market groups were chosen because of the long-term potential for continued sales. Assuming high quality work and effective word-of-mouth marketing, the targeted, potentially upgradeable, neighborhoods afford a continuing supply of work to do. The business remodels, while providing a smaller portion of the firm's income, offer an important opportunity to build relationships and generate trust with business owners and managers who have homes in the targeted ‘upgradeable' homes.
4.3 Service Business Analysis
As a whole, the building industry is a very fragmented industry. Despite large homebuilders, no single company has as much as a 2% market share.
The remodeling industry is even more diluted with only a handful of companies in the nation showing annual sales in excess of $10 million. Under the standard definition, all remodelers fall into the category of a small business.
4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns
The remodeling market is made up of potential customers who weigh three competing values: Price, Quality and Service. There is a saying that a remodeling company can deliver any two of those values. A large portion of the potential customers are asking for quality and service, and then go shopping for price. These customers are extremely difficult to work for and make a profit.
There is another segment of the market that is concerned with getting a "fair" price. Re-Bath offers its customers a lifetime guarantee on their products and services. This guarantee will entice customers that are looking for an investment “bargain” to choose Re-Bath as their bathroom remodelers.

Strategy and Implementation Summary
Re-Bath will change its focus to differentiate their services from fly-by-night contractors, improve its sales and customer service functions and increase the amount of work received from past clients and referrals. The marketing challenge is to improve the company's image, allowing estimators to price work more profitably, reduce or eliminate the amount of work competitively bid for, and to raise the perceived value the client gains by hiring Re-Bath.
5.1 Sales Strategy
1. The Woodland’s Re-Bath needs to sell the company and its lifetime guarantee, not the price.
2. Re-Bath has to sell its quality, convenience and service. It is Re-Bath’s goal to install our quality products as quickly and conveniently as possible so that our customers’ home life will not be disturbed for more than one to two days. Re-Bath’s specially designed tub liners and bathroom enclosures ensure the installation of a quality product with convenience and well trained service technicians.
The Yearly Total Sales chart summarizes an ambitious sales forecast. The Woodlands Re-Bath expects sales to increase significantly from $800,000 last year.

Financial Plan
The most important element in the financial plan is the critical need for improving several of the key factors that impact cash flow:
1. The Woodlands Re-Bath must do a better job of collecting deposits and asking for (demanding) prompt payment from the customers.
2. We must bring the gross margin up to 61%. This is related to improving the marketing program which will generate higher quality leads and jobs.
8.1 Important Assumptions
The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the General Assumptions table below. The key underlying assumptions are:
A slow-growth economy, without major recession.
There are no unforeseen changes in technology to make our services immediately obsolete (very unlikely).
We assume access to equity capital and financing sufficient to maintain our financial plan as shown in the tables.

8.2 Projected Profit and Loss
The most important assumption in the Projected Profit and Loss statement is the gross margin, which is supposed to increase, up quite a bit from the last year. The increase in gross margin is based on changing our sales mix due to increased target marketing based on 5% assumptions between years.
