Business Plan
We have begun targeting our advertising to tourists visiting our area in order to secure bookings in advance. We have begun building relationships with local hotel managers in order to gain transportation contracts with them, as well as becoming their #1 choice in a taxi service for their clients. We want to expand our reach by purchasing a passenger van and being able to transport more clients at one time. We have secured permits through the city, as well as the airport, and intend on using these permits to expand our reach. We are a small business operating in rural North Carolina. We are woman-owned and minority owned. We service all customers in our region from tourists, locals, members of military traveling to Camp Lejuene and Camp Geiger, customers in need of long distance transportation to cities such as Myrtle Beach, Fayetteville and Raleigh, as well as local business owners in need of reliable transportation. We offer a safe alternative to your normal local taxi, as our drivers are trained to be courteous, reliable and trustworthy. Clients feel safe while in our care.

Self Identified Competition
Pyramids Taxi LLC and Port City Taxi LLC. We are woman owned and understand the need to provide safe and reliable transportation to all clients. Our drivers are trained to assist the elderly, tourists and locals who need that extra care and protection as we transport them. We understand that women have a lot of anxiety when being transported by taxi services, and so we make them as comfortable as possible. We are also a reliable choice. Local hotels call us to do their pickups because we are on-time and charge a fair rate. We get our customers quickly and efficiently to their final destinations.
