Company Summary

3.1 Company Owner

Martin’s Solar Screen will be owned by Martin Baker. Martin has worked as an automotive decoration artist for more than half of his life. He has a lot of experience in this field as well as interest. His knowledge, experience, skills, and contacts will be beneficial to start a window tinting business.

3.2 Why the Window Tint Business is being started

The main reason behind Martin starting this business is that there is no good window tint service provider in the area. As Texas is a hot place, the business has a good scope here. Martin could not find any window tinting business for sale so he planned to start a business of his own.

The next thing this sample business plan for window tinting will cover will be the planning of the business. Even a business plan for janitorial services needs a lot of planning and it is just impossible to start a business of any magnitude without proper planning.

3.3 How the Window Tint Business will be started

Step1: Planning

The first logical thing to do in order to start the business is planning. This is the phase of the business where the plan for making the business successful will be made and perfected. All the aspects of the business will be taken into account and a path will be chosen to make the business successful no matter what the circumstances are.

The scope and magnitude of this business will also be determined in this phase.

Step2: Branding

Once the plan for the business is made, we will need to make a brand around our business. As we discussed in the window cleaning business plan, a brand with significant presence and an established brand is one of the very basic requirement to make any business successful. Moreover, window tinting business cards will also be issued to ensure affective official advertisement.

Step3: Making an Office and a Workshop

The next thing is to establish an office from where all the activities of the business will be orchestrated. The office will be the point of contact with the customers and the workshop will be where the tint services will be executed.

Step4: Establishing an Online Presence

More and more people are using the internet to find everything. For that matter, we will make a website and social media pages so that the customers can find us online and order any product or service that they might need.

Step5: Promotion and Marketing

Last, but not the least, we’ll have to promote the business so much so that our name is known to all the people who can be our customers by any chance.
