Closing Remarks
  We’ve all heard the phrase, “a paperless society.” The phrase is a fallacy,
  especially regarding the needs of the small business. As well, most small
    businesses lack the knowledge and resources to accommodate their
                           printing needs internally.

     We are excited about the future for the small printer. The National
 Association of Print Leadership forecasts industry growth of 2–4% for 2011,
                       and 3% annually for 2012–2015.

 To realize the goals of this business plan, we are seeking investment funds
  of $100,000. The details of the capital required are explained in the plan.
   We are confident once you get a chance to review the plan thoroughly,
                       you’ll will share our enthusiasm.
