We share the same vision of family, community, growth and transformation. During the last 12 months we’ve navigated some big changes, drove our own unique and joint solutions, overtook several obstacles in the process and made great strides. This investment proposal speaks to our past successes, recognizing that we have positioned ourselves for significant growth. We are truly excited to share this amazing investment opportunity with you. We are building a successful corporation well on its way to being an International staple and we are inviting you to be a part of this journey. Your investment will not only serve as a lucrative business venture but also as a firm investment in a better future for many people across our country. Our organizations is young and as a result we face many difficulties obtaining traditional funding.  Nonprofit Organizations like the Salvation Army, United Way as well as Goodwill started at the bottom just as we are and rose to make significant strides in serving communities while at the same time developing into a lucrative business.
 
GOALS:
Acquire a standalone multipurpose facility capable of serving as the primary base of operations for our professional services while at the same time providing a center for our local community to obtain services and non-governmental assistance. This facility must be at least 9,000 sf with offices, classrooms, assembly areas, kitchen, multiple restrooms, and
expansion capable for growth. We aim to consolidate programs, services and resources in one location. This consolidation will reduce overhead cost, significantly. Subsequently, having a standalone facility will immediately improve proficiency, increase revenue, allow for expansion of programs, services, customers and clients. Redirecting expenditures and transforming them into re-investments.

TARGET MARKET:
Personal & Professional Development - The global personal development market size was valued at $38.28 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.1% from 2020 to 2027. Increasing consciousness about selfrecognition and the pursuit of happiness is expected to drive the demand for personal development programs during the forecast period. Individuals are gradually looking for ways to attain physical as well as emotional fitness. Moreover, improving social skills and focusing on critical areas for self-awareness, such as emotions, character traits, habits, individual values, and the psychological need that shapes the day-to-day behavior of individuals are gaining importance. Growing
needs amongst employees to meet the company’s expectations and develop their domain skills is further anticipated to fuel the growth of the market.

Wedding Services Industry - Revenue for the Wedding Services industry declined 21.0% in 2020 as weddings and large gatherings were postponed due to
COVID restrictions. Despite a sharp decline, revenue is expected to surge 33.1% in 2021 as operators accommodate both new and postponed weddings.

Public Speaking & Personal Coaching - Market data estimates that the motivational speakers' market in the U.S. generated an estimated $1.9 billion in revenues in 2019. Market data analysts project that the value of the professional speaking industry will grow at a 4.1% average annual pace, reaching $2.30 billion by 2025.

Notary Industry - According to the latest news in the notary  industry, it seems that these services are some of the most powerful for preventing identity theft and fraud. When you think
about the importance of the duties a notary public professional executes, the services are essential. Both public and private companies are seeing a rise in the number of clients requesting their services. The growth outlook is bright based on the latest news in the notary industry, with economic data and quantitative research being collected to analyze the rate of growth and, of course, trends within the notary industry. Market size and revenue per firm has steadily increased since 2010.
