BEFORE spending Big Bucks on leases, design/layout, equipment, supplies, or wasting precious time doing "research" that won't lead you anywhere, We invite you to explore the comprehensive services and materials available through Alex & Associates. You won't find this anywhere else!

Why not start with some thorough resources? Most of your concerns and questions will be answered by our programs. The first and most important issue is whether what you are planning to do makes any business sense in the first place! Why waste money and time on something that won’t work? Unfortunately, we find that many people jump into this business without the right information and sadly end up losing their investment.

We offer an industry specific business plan template in our Espresso Business Success Program book to help you create one quickly and conveniently, not only for potential lenders or landlords, but also to give you a much better idea of the costs involved in starting up your specific concept. It will provide realistic earning projections based on your location. Though we cannot provide financing assistance our business plan has helped many of our clients secure financing with the SBA, friends, relatives and other sources. When you approach a prospective lender for financing, you MUST talk intelligently about the business and present them with a realistic plan for what you will do with the money, where it will go, and how much you will have available after paying your expenses to repay their investment. With Alex & Associates on your team helping you from the start, your chances of securing financing will be greatly improved.

If you have already secured financing and are seriously considering a certain location to open your business, wouldn’t you want to know whether that location is appropriate for your concept, before you commit to it? This is the single most important decision that you will make. Location determines whether your business will succeed or not. Alex & Associates also offers over-the-phone personal consultation with Michael or Oksana Fisenko to help you choose the right location. We turn down more than half of the proposed locations.

If you already have a location and are planning the design of your shop of drive-thru, the Espresso Business Success Program includes working space and equipment layout designs that will make your operation more efficient, therefore speeding up customer service and increasing their satisfaction. These are not architectural building plans, but the design on which your architect or contractor will base their plans.

A detailed list of all necessary equipment and supplies, and our personal recommendations of what and where to get it, depending on your location are also provided. This will save you months of research and prevent you from purchasing the wrong items, equipment you don’t need and will save you money and aggravation.

 

 

Combined with Alex’s Espresso Training DVD, our Espresso Business Success Program will show you how to prepare better tasting drinks and “hook” your customers so they want to return day after day.

Alex & Associates can show you step by step what you need to do and how to do it, whether you are planning a coffee shop or a drive-thru; would like to add a specialty coffee to your present business; increase sales at your current espresso business; or are considering buying an existing coffee business.

We can help you save thousands of dollars with our proven methods and techniques to help you prevent mistakes, use your time and resources wisely and avoid countless aggravations! Isn’t that what you are looking for?
