公平交易咖啡館商業企畫書:以經濟與社會脈動為基礎

Fair Trade Café plans to open in spring 2011 and will be located in the Porter Square area of Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Fair Trade Café will seek to capitalize on the growing interest in fair trade by selling a complete line of fair trade coffee and tea products to consumers. Fair Trade Café is determined to become the number one choice for residents of the Porter Square area for all their café desires. Fair Trade Café will thus market itself both to the everyday coffee/tea drinker, as well as to progressive consumers who are interested in supporting long-term economically sustainable fair trade business.

Fair Trade Café will be a limited liability corporation owned by Nicholas Kanter and Michael Kanter and four private investors. Both Nicholas and Michael have long been interested in working with fair trade products and are extremely enthusiastic about getting into the fair trade café business. Nicholas is a soon to be graduate of the prestigious International MBA program at National Chengchi University in Taiwan with a specialization in Marketing. Michael has over 35 years of business experience serving as CEO of Cambridge Naturals, a natural products store, as well as working as a consultant to numerous successful start-ups.

Fair Trade Café will seek to lease a space approximately 300 sq/m in the Porter Square area of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Porter Square is a very busy and urban part of Cambridge that attracts significant foot, car and public transportation traffic both during the week and on the weekends. An initial amount of $180,000 will be required for start-up. Nicholas Kanter and Michael Kanter will each contribute $45,900, and the private investors will contribute $22,050 each.
