Time to start writing a business plan!

Hi everyone!

So, as said previously, we made a presentation about the potentials of down-cycling in Sweden and the wide range of products which can be produced out of textile waste. Now that we had the entire group members on board with the idea it was the time to write it down, map it out and focus further on the business plan, but! little had we worked on business plans previously! So, we spent quite a while readying different samples to get inspired from. Eventually we designed our very own business plan template and asked some of the group members to share their ideas about our business plan idea. However, it was right in middle of summer so we didn't have the luxury of having people who could actually guid us around as they were all on vacation. We didn't have a good luck with weather either as it was such a cold and rainy summer in Stockholm, but ice-creams of Gamla Stan were the fuel to get the work going!

I addition to business plan we started preparing a data base of the prospective clients, so we spent considerable amounts of time looking up different websites and companies and tried to get our head around the type of business they are involved in. Our list included companies and organisations in varied industries like building and construction, interior design, recyclers, etc . Also, we prepared excel files for the start up costs of the required facilities and equipments like sorting conveyer, compressor, workforce and so on.

We were almost done and our long summer was almost over...
