5 Year Business Plan Outline

Green Acres Sustainable Property Development LLC

5 Year Business Plan



Green Acres Sustainable Property Development will be a Limited Liability Corporation set up by myself, Craig Michael Crawford, and members of my immediate family.



The primary goal of our corporation will be to provide an unprecedented opportunity to support all American Veterans, who are the leaders of our country. In addition to a profitable real estate development business available to any veteran willing to work hard to ensure it's success, we will provide veterans with a sustainable, sound, expandable business model, and the required initial funding and training to provide themselves with the ability to earn an income for the rest of their lives and never be without a home to live in themselves.



The secondary goal of our corporation is to promote community development and ensure the ability of all hard working, law abiding Americans a chance of living the American dream regardless of their own current economic status. For every veteran we invest in, he will within 5 years, invest in 4 other Americans and they will own their own home with 40% equity in that home.



The tertiary goal of our corporation will be to promote strong sustainable environmental practices within our local communities. We as veterans have been and always will be the best promoters of practices which teach us to conserve, or create entirely different more efficient ways to live our lives. We know how to make our own energy and use our water resources sparingly. We have been taught to always be prepared and success does indeed favor the prepared.



The members of this corporation are the most important part of the entire business plan. They are the inspiration for it and the reason it will be successful. I will own 30%, each of my 6 siblings will own 10% and my father will own 10%. We will be run as a limited liability corporation to protect our own personal interests, while providing a family goal and means to achieve these goals through our many shared and individual talents. My family is full of gifted and talented individuals who inspired me to propose this to them. I, as well as many other people who are close to them, recognize them as individual leaders in their own communities. I hope to be a part of that family of leaders again.



My 5 year plan is actually 5 and a half years. The first 6 months of the plan will be devoted to my own personal 6 month plan. My 6 month plan will be explained later in a letter entitled Craig Michael Crawford Sr.'s personal 6 month plan.
