Business Plans Handbook, Volume 6

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYAt the heart of our company is a commitment to providing a quality bed and breakfast experience to all visitors in the Vermont area. With the availability of ski resorts in the winter, color tours in the fall and a spectacular season of fun and sun in the summer, Vermont is a yearround tourist destination for thousands of travelers and sightseers. Fantasy is to capitalize on that tourist trafficand focus on providing a popular stop for those exploring the region. This plan serves to illustrate the profit potential that can be obtained through the renovation of an existing structure that serves a specialty clientele. If done with flair and a sense of style, it is our belief that we can turn Fantasy into a reality.
