This market is expected grow at a healthy pace, particularly in small offices, which will be the initial target for the company. By focusing on small offices, the company will be able to establish a reputation by working with many clients. This will also allow for the streamlining and improvement of operations.

Financial Results

In its second year of operation, the business will have $1 million in annual sales and start paying dividends to its investors.
