Business Plan
In the next 5 years, I will have my own warehouse filled with an indoor skate park and a retail portion to the building where consumers will buy our products. I also will be on the shelves of all major retailers. I will have multiple locations throughout the United States so we we can cater to the needs of our customer. As a veteran, I pushed my limits to points I never thought I’d be capable of. As a person who suffers from ASD and ADHD, I know I can accomplish everything I can put my thoughts on and truly focus on it. I have been the underdog who shines through because I do not see the boundaries that other see. I know the limits are endless and that’s where I’m aiming.

Self Identified Competition
Nike, adidas and Vans are the worlds biggest brands in the skateboarding. Nike being the number 1 athletic wear brand in the US, they know how to market to the consumers through celebrities creating “hype” to a product. Adidas is the number 1 athletic company in the world. Why they succeed is because they have multi tiered marketing. They cater to every economic class by having differently designed products that won’t break the bank. Vans has done wonders by creating a home feel to the skate community. They are one of the few brands that are truly skater owned and been so successful. What makes my product different from every other brand is that we are a skater, veteran, and disability owned business that is about the community. A big complaint in the skate community that that no one makes stylish shoes except Nike and adidas. All the other skater owned brands don’t care about aesthetics. I know first impressions mean everything and what people see first is what they’ll think about you forever. Since my products are quality, sleek and stylish, I know my products will sell.
