TinyHorse has been operating for 7 years. It's grown organically from being a side-gig to becoming front and centre with an online store and brick & mortar location in Toronto. In all these years we've never developed an official business plan! We're looking for a business student to walk us through the required steps and come out on the other end with an official document outlining our business operations, where it's heading, and to prepare us for the interest of investors.

There is information that's already been developed and can be utilized in the process, but other areas will need to be generated in collaboration with the company owner.

This opportunity will be a great case study for a senior-level business student.

The project activities include the following:

• create an industry-standard outline for the business plan
• review existing company materials that can inform the various sections of the business plan
• identify areas that need to be developed and work with the company owner to generate the necessary materials
• Review drafts of the completed plan with the company owner
• Submit a final draft to complete the project

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• What does our company do?
• Who is our target audience?
• What is our financial forecast?
• What type of expenses are we anticipating?
• How do we manage growth?
