Business Plan
I plan to grow and expand my business in the next 5 years by reselling a wide range of products through online and retail arbitrage as well as through purchase of wholesale items that I purchase through wholesale distributors cheaper and in turn resell for profit using Amazon, eBay, Poshmark and Mercari. My main focus will be Amazon but the other platforms will allow for added income streams and may serve as a more diverse retail model for my business. Currently I am starting off in my home but I hope to grow so that I can establish a business location that will be better suited to handle the increase in products that I intend to sell online. I believe and hope investors can see and appreciate my drive to establish and grow my business. I have been a Registered Nurse for 25 years and I realize I need to do more for myself and my families future. I have researched and invested copious amounts of time over the last 2 years to educate myself on becoming an online reseller by use of Amazon and other platforms and frankly this is a huge industry with many opportunities to be successful. More and more people are relying on purchasing items online and I believe there is opportunity for me to thrive and grow my business in this industry. This industry will not only provide a better life for my family but also allow for a comfortable retirement in the future through investment opportunities.

Self Identified Competition
I won't deny it there is competition in this industry but with the increase in online sales and people relying on this form of purchasing I believe that the potential for continued growth is exponential. I believe I am different than my competitors because I have worked by whole life to reach this point. I am 53 years old and started working at the age of 15 years old. I have worked in many different fields before finally becoming a Registered Nurse. 25 years in healthcare as an RN has not given me the ability to thrive and get ahead in life. I always imagined that nursing would provide me with the opportunity to get ahead in life and although it has had it's own rewards the benefits of owning and operating my own business will open the door to my future. As a business owner I am invested in both my families and my own future like I have never been in my life. I am transitioning from a set wage with no opportunity for financial growth to being a business owner with the potential to grow personally and financially and that is something that makes me excited for the future.
