Business Plan
I have an extremely widespread network, spanning from the East Coast to the state of Texas of potential customers. I will leverage my experience as a Green Beret to build a series of contacts that are willing and able to help promote or market my product. Additionally, I will use the story of my Green Beret lineage to bolster confidence in customers and their desire to purchase the products we offer. For the next year, we will focus on the production and sale of a simple baseline of products, with custom works being produced to benefit our partnered Veteran Charities. Custom production will act as a springboard for the production potential of the company and will be the determining factor for which products to add to mass production offerings each year. For the initial 2 years, I plan to retain little to no personal income for this business and will use the majority of the revenue to purchase additional equipment and materials that have a guarantee to improve ROI, or improve production speed that decreases the burden on employee hours. Ultimately, the business will grow the most off of marketing and of its moral values: - Benefiting the Veteran Community - Benefiting charities supporting Gold Star Families - Functional leather goods produced by a Green Beret Investors for this effort are not investing in me. Investors are investing in a community effort to help Veterans in transition, the majority of whom are coming from a career of active conflict (GWOT) and searching for new mission and purpose as a civilian. We as a country, need to begin the transition assistance of these Veterans immediately by planning for their self-sustainment, not simply bandaging the gap of their estranged state. An investment in Snake Eaters Union is a guarantee that both actively and passively, veteran communities and their families will be supported. Additionally, this investment only begins at the current revenue generation of leather goods. Snake Eaters Union will be growing an enterprise or series of value streams and community outreach programs that will grow as fast as the opportunities are enabled including but not limited to: - Active Shooter Response Training - Facilities ownership and management for LE and Security Training - Business leadership and team-building consultancy & scenarios - Increased support of Donovan & Bank Foundation, and Veterans Outdoors (both 501c3's)

Self Identified Competition
No DIRECT competition currently exists for leather goods produced by former Special Forces Green Berets. However, the following companies produce and sell leather goods online at a comparable price: Savage Gentleman - https://savagegentleman.com/collections/leather Jack Foster - https://www.jack-foster.com/ Odin Leather Goods - https://odinleathergoods.com/ The primary and undeniable factor separating us from our competitors is our marketability. While as a "Quiet Professional" it is not my favorite characteristic of our community, the marketability of products or services by Special Operations Forces is profound. Additionally, our production will impact charitable organizations and will bring in a feel-good factor that will attract customers who are interested in their money going further than just a material purchase.
