30 year old, weak equipment
2. High payroll costs for 40 employees.

• A written, simple plan will help you map out how you will start and run the business
successfully. Use this plan like a roadmap.
• There are many elements of a business plan. One of these elements, the company

business and the value proposition it produces for the customers and business owners.

• As part of your business plan, decide what amount of start up capital you realistically need
both now and over the next five years.
• In the USA one study puts the average cost of starting a new business from the beginning
at about $30,000. (W 32,000,000)

4.1 Lesson #9 : Keep your spiritual life and take care of your family well.
• Integrate your business life with your family life to win their support.
– At home and away from the business, spend regular time focused on them, not on the business.

– Show the substance of the Principle
• Clear standard and education for ethical business activities through spiritual education
and life.
– Sunday morning and Monday morning should be in harmony.

to be successful. The oceanic providence also took about ten years.

in business.

6.2 Research limitations and ideas for future research
Research limitations
• This proposal is based on small amount of data and field research and could not be
facilitated based on empirical studies.
• This study lacks academic research on similar topics possibly conducted by other
churches.
• While emphasizing the results of personal experience and lessons learned, the nuts and
bolts of actual business development are not fully presented.
Ideas for future research
• Research and develop practical Unification theory of economics and business, embracing
New Testament theory and practice.
• Research past Unification small businesses in detail for applications to local FFWPU
business.
• Study successful business structures and practices by Christian churches, like Mormons
and evangelical megachurches.
