Prepare a set of short term,medium and long term goals for starting a choosen small scale
enterprise.

 Short term goals for any entrepreneurs:Short-term planning in business generally focuses
on a three-to-six-month time frame, especially in reference to revenue and profitability. Short-
term objectives are geared towards short-term needs such as improving cash flow or
launching a new product. This short-term perspective is especially useful for satisfying
investors who want to see results or improving your company's bottom line so you can secure
additional financing for longer-term goals. Whatever your short-term goals, make sure they
serve your longer-term vision. Your new product launch should be consistent with your
overall brand and with the line of products you're building over time. Your strategies to
improve cash flow should bring in additional revenue in ways that don't compromise your
values or distract you from your overall mission.
 Medium term goals for any entrepreneurs:Medium-term planning is often overlooked in
discussions of strategic objectives, but it is important because it brings together the clarity of
shorter-term goals with the depth of longer-term planning. A short-term goal may be based on
an immediate need and a long-term goal may be so broad that it is difficult to create
measurable milestones. But a medium-term goal is close enough for you to project a specific
targeted outcome, while also being distant enough to be meaningful for your longer-term
vision. Medium-term planning generally covers a period of about three years. It may include
plans to open a new store or enter a new market. It is a long enough time frame for you to see
if you're achieving real results, yet it's a short enough period for you to pivot and change
direction if your initial strategy isn't successful.
 Long Term goals for any entrepreneurs:Long-term planning is rooted in your company's
identity and purpose. It may have elements of specificity such as a goal to open a certain
number of new stores over the next ten years. However, it is impossible to predict market
conditions and current events over such an extended time frame. Because of this difficulty,
even specific long-term plans are mainly concrete ways to express a larger vision such as
eventually supplying work shoes to your entire region. Take your long-term planning very
seriously, but adjust it over time as your medium-term situation unfolds
 Conclusion: we can prepare a short, long medium term goals for a chosen enterprises.

Business plan for an computer hardware engineer.

Executive Summary
PC Repair will provide computer and technical consulting (repairs, training, networking and upgrade
service) to local small businesses as well as home PC users. The company will focus on marketing,
responsiveness, quality, and creating and retaining customer relations.
PC Repair was initially formed as a sole proprietorship, but was reconfigured as an S Corporation in
December of 2004. PC Repair will at first be a home office start-up, utilizing one studio room in the
owner's home and serving customers in the local Ramsford-on-Bitstream area. In the third month of
our plan, we will move into a leased office space and hire a second technician. As sales increase, we
will hire additional personnel.

The Market
The very nature of the computing industry, with its extraordinary rate of technological development,
creates a constant need for businesses skilled in updating and advising customers on computer-related
issues. In town, the majority of potential customers are dissatisfied with existing options, creating an
attractive niche for an innovative start-up. Small business PC users will provide the majority of our
business revenue. Business Week expects the computing industry to grow at a rate of 12% and the
processor speeds to continue to expand for years to come, providing a rich resource for sales.
PC Repair has decided to focus mainly on the small business market, as these customers typically
don't have a full-time IT person, but have full-time IT needs. PC Repair will offer an affordable, on-
demand service for these customers. We can also offer maintenance agreements that generate
additional monthly income. For our residential customers, we will offer a very affordable and helpful
service with a very flexible schedule to meet their needs. Our target market will focus on Ramsford-
on-Bitstream and the surrounding areas. Market research indicates there is an abundance of business
for a small company such as PC Repair.
Start-up Funding and Financials
To get PC Repair started the owner is providing cash and assets. We are also seeking a shortterm loan,
to be secured with the owner's home equity, and repaid within three years. Our conservative sales
forecasts, based on industry research within the local area, project hefty sales in year one, steadily
increasing through year three. To reach these goals, we will use an aggressive advertising campaign to
exploit our competitors' weaknesses. With good cost control, we will see a modest, yet comfortable,
net profit the first year, even after moving into a leased space and hiring additional technicians.

1.1 Objectives
1. To provide the best service available to the community at an affordable price.
2. To generate substantial market share so that PC Repair is a common name.
3. Constant growth in sales from start up through year three.

response. Our customers will always receive one-on-one personal attention at a very affordable price.
Our customers will receive the highest quality of customer service available. Our employees will
receive extensive training, a great place to work, fair pay and benefits, and incentives to use their own
good judgement to solve customers' problems.
