Closing Remarks

We’ve all heard the phrase, “a paperless society.” The phrase is a fallacy, especially regarding the needs of the small business. As well, most small

businesses lack the knowledge and resources to accommodate their printing needs internally.

We are excited about the future for the small printer. The National Association of Print Leadership forecasts industry growth of 2–4% for 2011,

and 3% annually for 2012–2015.

To realize the goals of this business plan, we are seeking investment funds of $100,000. The details of the capital required are explained in the plan. We are confident once you get a chance to review the plan thoroughly,

you’ll will share our enthusiasm.
