This document outlines a business plan for Custom Gloves, which personalizes gloves with appliques or motifs. It describes customizing new or used gloves for different tastes. The target audience is initially young buyers attracted to colorful designs, but designs could also appeal to older customers. Gloves would be sold locally at schools or online with no production costs since gloves are made in-house. Startup costs are around 100€ with fixed costs being materials. Gloves would be sold at 10-25€ each with 20% profit and break even at 25 sales. Strengths include customization while weaknesses are not all liking gloves. Local competition includes websites like Etsy selling professionally made, expensive personalized gloves.
