The Business Card The business card gives my company a more professional look. I chose to make it look plane and simple so that it stood out.

Letter Head Yet again its plane and simple, but with a more enthusiastic ‘Childs’ twist. I decided on this as it is a company for children and the wave makes it look more child friendly.

Business Plan I have built up contacts in the industry, ranging from catering to stunts. With this advantage I have people who can then recommend me for services. I hope to build up my reputation as a business, in both the film industry and the general public. I aim to offer the best that the industry has seen, and give top care and services to the children we are responsible for. We have contacts with suppliers that we can buy our needed equipment off.

Qualifications and Skills I have studied early childhood studies at Manchester Metropolitan University, giving me both the knowledge and hands-on experience in childcare needed for this job. All staff will need to be trained to work with the children, with relevant and sufficient qualifications. Staff will be CRB checked and first aid qualified before working with the children.

Setting up the business I will do most of the processes my self but I will have to hire a number of staff in a couple of times a week as I do not have the experience or knowledge to do this myself. I will still be involved in every step and decision made for the company. I have a business plan of what I would like to achieve in the next 3 years. Buying a portable service is one of them.

Operating the company As any business personal will know, there will be competitors and collaborators. I have both. But I can use this to my advantage by collaborating with other companies that can better the size and how well known my company is. I will need a number of facilities; an office for my staff, with rooms to look after the kids in safety, a kitchen and toilet facilities. Equipment hire is important for when equipment is too expensive or its wouldn’t be used very much.

Premises My ideal location would be in the Coventry area where I am based. I would need offices for staff to work in, and a room or two to keep the children when they are in our care. I have looked at a number of properties and found the most suitable. I would like to buy a double Decker coach and transform it into a pace where we can keep the kids whilst they are waiting to be on the set. I would keep the seats downstairs, but make the upstairs into a crèche.

There are toilets and kitchen facilities available on site. Insurance, water and electricity is included. - It is 510 square foot - Costs £2,750 per annum - On site car parking is £65 per month for 5 spaces - Broadband, phone and mobile £49.50 per month from BT
