    I just finished a class for my MBA and I completed a Business Plan with a 5 year financial analysis. We bought all of the skydiving equipment and office equipment but leased everything else, leased aircraft, building, and such. We based our 5 year projections on an initial investment of $450,000. $50,000 was raised between three owners and $400,000 would come from a private investor. The investor would be paid in full by the fifth year with 15% each year. We broke even by the 3rd year and the drop zone was worth 1.6 million by the 5th year. It can be done, but it takes a lot of preparation and time to do it right. The most important part is a great marketing plan with a great customer analysis, and don’t forget location, location, location.

    Thanks everyone for the warm greeting. It will be a while before I get to jump again due to lake of funds, so I guess I'll just have to go out to Perris to hang out. In the mean while I hope to learn as much as I can about the sport so I can do it right the first time, if thee is such a thing..lol...

    Hi everybody I'm Dan aka “S10surfer.” I just wanted to say hi since I am new to skydiving and this forum. I made my first jump on May 12, 2006 for my birthday and now I'm hooked. After my jump I decided I wanted to get my license so I went Online looking for information and came across this great forum. Hopefully in the next few months I'll have enough money saved up to start AFF. PS.. If anyone cares my home DZ in Perris, CA since I live like 5 minutes from it.
