2. Executive Summary
I felt the need from my own personal experience, when I left the
military the lack of jobs and support from the government. I could not
receive Unemployment Insurance because I was told that I “quit my job”.
No food stamps because I was single. I believe that anyone who served
our country and protected others, should be at the front of the line when
it comes to their needs being met.
This company will be successful (1) Experience: With 36 years of
knowledge working in the medical field. I know the ends and outs of
guidelines and standard needed to keep the doors open. (2) Employees
skills and training: They will come with their experiences from the
military and be placed according to their prior training. As their
employer, they will be trained in HIPAA, OSHA, and Sexual Harassment .
A drug toxic screen will also be conducted prior to first assignment and
random testing done at my discretion. Zero drug tolerance will be
enforced and immediate termination if tested positive. (3) My passion:
It’s not the money that is important to me, but being able to help others
not to struggle as much and feel like they have a place in society.

4. The vision of MAST Consulting Group, LLC is to make sure our
young men and young women who served in the military will not be
forgotten for the services they rendered. It is our way of saying “Thank

in finding a job. (2) Aid in readjusting to life. (3) Eventually, aid in

Services
I became interested in the temp/staffing agency after working
with an agency and no follow up on making me permanent. The
position was a temp to perm after 4 months and after that time period,
I asked my boss if the company I was working for was thinking about
making me permanent. Her response was she haven’t heard one way
or another and she would look into it. She never did, and the
company I was assigned to, starting hiring others. After I was let go
after working 7 months and I was never asked what happened.
The reason why my company will be different from my
competition is by one word “care”. Not only will I be concern about
my clients, but my employees as well. I will meet monthly with my
clients to see how things are going and ask what can we do to better
serve you and then I will meet with my employees to talk about these
concerns. If my employees are having a problem on an assignment, I
will quickly find another site. I will listen to my employees and be
there as much as I can.
Marketing Plan
The company’s services in a general industry category defined as
Temporary Help Services with 561320 NAICS Code. In my research, I
found companies in this field income ranged from $75,000 to $1.5

5. million in annual revenues. My target age will span from 22 to 45,
with the average age being 33 ½. The demographics will cover the
Southern CA Region. Some assignments may require overnight stay.

The company will have the following financial systems in place
before starting the business. The initial accounting system will be on

needs. At that point, an internal audit will compare our bookkeeping
to the one done by the CPA. Any discrepancies’ will be corrected to
make sure we are still making a profit.
