Executive Summary

Corner Boxing Gym is a boxing and fitness gym in Texas. We teach boxing technique to beginners, offer non-contact boxing fitness classes for adults, run a youth program for ages 10 to 17 and train amateur competitors who want to fight. Everyone starts with the basics: stance, footwork, jab and defense, in a clean gym with two rings and a coach who watches every student.

Why this fits. Boxing is one of the best full-body workouts, and many people want it without having to fight. A gym that offers fitness classes, a youth program and serious amateur training under one roof draws three different groups of members, and they keep each other motivated. Youth programs give kids structure and a safe place to spend their afternoons.

Here is what our numbers show. In Year 1 we plan about 2,940 member-months (roughly 245 members on average) and about 738 private training sessions. That brings in sales of $268,470, growing to $753,300 by Year 5. We expect a profit of about $68,900 in Year 1, a profit of about $151,600 in Year 2, a profit of about $206,500 in Year 3 and a profit of about $373,000 by Year 5. Rent, coach pay and the rings and equipment paid for before the first class are our largest costs, and the plan counts all of them.

We need $145,000 in total. Of that, $76,200 is startup costs (two rings, bags and gear, a build-out, deposits, marketing, insurance and a small cushion), and the rest is cash for the first months. I am putting in $28,000 of my own savings and asking for a $117,000 SBA 7(a) loan.

I am Marcus Hill, the owner and head trainer. These numbers are estimates based on the assumptions listed at the end of this plan, not promises.

Company Description

Corner Boxing Gym will be a limited liability company (LLC) in Texas, owned by Marcus Hill. We will rent about 5,000 square feet with two boxing rings, rows of heavy bags, a speed bag and slip bag area, a cardio and strength room, lockers and a front desk.

What we believe. Boxing teaches discipline and confidence, and every person who walks in should be treated with respect, whether they want a workout or a title.

What we offer:
- Boxing fitness classes with no contact, for adults of any level.
- A youth program for ages 10 to 17 with technique, conditioning and character building.
- Competitive amateur training for people who want to spar and fight.
- Private instruction for beginners and for fighters.
- Open gym hours for members.

Safety. Students wear proper gear. Sparring is allowed only with a coach present, after training, with matched partners and headgear. Anyone with a head injury sits out until a doctor says it is safe. We do not promise anyone a fight, a belt or a career in boxing, and we do not give medical advice.

Where things stand today. The program, the budget and the safety policy are written. The next steps are the lease, the rings and the first 60 founding members.

Problem & Opportunity

People who want to learn boxing find few good places. Big gyms offer boxing classes with little technique and no real coaching. Old-school boxing gyms can feel unfriendly to beginners, women and kids, and some have little attention to safety.

Parents of young people face another problem. They want somewhere safe and structured after school, and many programs are crowded or poorly supervised.

A clean, well-run boxing gym that welcomes beginners, protects students and also trains serious fighters fills the gap.

Products & Services

Corner Boxing Gym will be a clean, safe, welcoming gym with real coaching.

What makes us different:
1. Real technique. Every class starts with fundamentals, and coaches correct each student.
2. Programs for different goals. Fitness classes, youth classes and competitive training run side by side.
3. Safety first. Gear is cleaned and checked, sparring is controlled and head injuries are taken seriously.
4. A welcoming culture. Beginners, women and kids are welcome and nobody is pushed into contact they do not want.
5. A path for those who want it. Students who want to compete can train with the amateur team.
6. Clear pricing. Simple monthly memberships and private session packs.

Why members stay. They get stronger, make friends and feel part of a team.

Market Analysis

Who we serve:
- Adults 18 to 55 who want a hard workout they enjoy.
- Youth ages 10 to 17 and their parents.
- Amateur competitors who want a coach and sparring partners.
- Corporate and community groups who want a fitness class.

How we sized the market. Our trade area is the neighborhoods within a 15-minute drive. We are not counting on a share of every adult who exercises. Year 1 plans about 245 members on average, which is a small share of the people near our gym who already pay for a gym or fitness class. Replace this estimate with your own count of gyms, schools and workplaces near your location.

Competitive Landscape

What people can do today:

1. Large fitness clubs. Many have boxing classes, but with little technique, no sparring and large groups.
2. Boutique boxing fitness studios. Fun and polished, but priced high and focused on fitness rather than skill.
3. Traditional boxing gyms. Good training, but some are not welcoming to beginners or kids.
4. Martial arts schools. Excellent instruction, but a different sport.
5. Online classes. Cheap, but no feedback and no partner work.

Where we fit. Corner Boxing Gym offers real coaching, a welcoming culture and a fair price. We will not try to be the flashiest or the cheapest. We will be the gym where people actually learn to box.

Marketing & Sales Strategy

How people will find us and decide to join.

Before opening:
- Sign up at least 60 founding members at a reduced first-month price.
- Host a free community boxing class and a youth open house.
- Visit schools, churches, police athletic leagues and employers to share our schedule. We do not pay for referrals.
- Put the sign up as soon as the lease is signed.

After opening:
- A free first class for everyone.
- A Google Business Profile and honest reviews from real members.
- Short training clips on social media, shared with permission.
- A friend pass: members bring a guest free once a month.
- A youth scholarship fund paid from a share of gym revenue, so no child is turned away for money alone.

What we will measure. How people heard about us, how many free classes become members and how long members stay.

Operations Plan

How the gym will run.

Schedule. Early mornings, lunch, evenings and Saturday mornings for fitness classes, afternoons for the youth program and evenings for competitive training.

Staffing in Year 1. Marcus coaches and runs the business, and one assistant coach works part time. Pay for each role is listed at the end of this plan.

Booking and payments. A membership and scheduling system handles sign-ups, class check-in and card payments so the front desk is never chasing money.

Safety. Coaches hold CPR and first aid training. Students sign a waiver and a health form. Sparring needs a coach in the ring, matched partners, headgear and mouthguards. Gloves, pads and bags are inspected every week and replaced when worn. An AED and a first aid kit are on site.

Cleaning. Gloves and pads are aired and cleaned after use, mats and bags are wiped daily and laundry is done on a set schedule.

Management & Organization

The people who will run Corner Boxing Gym.

Marcus Hill, owner and head trainer. He teaches the classes, trains the amateur team, leads the schedule, the budget and the youth program. (Replace this paragraph with your own background.)

Assistant coach (part time, from Year 1). Teaches fitness and youth classes after training in the gym's methods. Every coach passes a background check, holds current CPR and first aid training and agrees to the safety and conduct policy.

Outside advisors. An attorney who reviews the lease and the waiver, an insurance broker, an accountant, a doctor who advises on safety and a free mentor from SCORE or the Small Business Development Center.

Staff pay in this plan is a full year per person: owner / Head Coach (USA Boxing L3) $45,000; assistant Coach (part-time) $26,000. Replace them with the pay you can offer where you live.

Milestones Narrative

Our goals and when we plan to reach them.
- Before opening (3 to 4 months ahead): sign the lease, build out the floor, install the rings and bags, confirm every coach's certifications and insurance, set the class schedule and sign up at least 60 founding members.
- Year 1: about 245 members on average and about 738 private sessions; $268,470 in sales and a profit of about $68,900.
- Year 2: about 345 members on average, about 1,040 private sessions and a second part-time coach for more classes; $390,000 in sales and a profit of about $151,600.
- Year 3: about 440 members on average and about 1,320 private sessions with a stronger youth and amateur team; $508,200 in sales and a profit of about $206,500.
- Year 4: about 530 members on average and about 1,592 private sessions and an amateur show hosted at the gym; $628,192 in sales and a profit of about $287,900.
- Year 5: about 620 members on average and about 1,860 private sessions and a plan for more ring and floor space; $753,300 in sales and a profit of about $373,000.
Growth depends on winning and keeping customers, so treat the later years as goals, not promises.

What we check every week: members and visits, class attendance, new sign-ups, cancellations, private sessions booked, reviews, coach hours and cash in the bank.

Funding Request

How much we need and how we will use it. Total we are raising: $145,000.

How we got that number. The Funding Need Calculator in this plan adds up three things:
- Startup costs of $76,200, listed item by item in the Startup Costs section: $14,000 for boxing rings (2), $6,000 for heavy bags and stands (12), $3,000 for speed bags, slip bags and double-end bags, $5,000 for gloves, pads, headgear and mouthguards (loaner set), $6,000 for strength and conditioning equipment, $1,500 for sound system and round timers, $2,500 for lockers, laundry machine and cleaning equipment, $14,000 for facility build-out: flooring, mirrors, paint and lighting, $5,000 for signs, website and opening promotion, $1,200 for membership and scheduling software, Year 1, $2,500 for LLC filing and lease review by an attorney, $3,500 for general and professional liability insurance, first year, $9,000 for security deposit and first two months of rent, $3,000 for contingency.
- The cash the business uses before it breaks even, about $0. Sales cover the daily costs once the doors open, so the cash we need up front goes mostly to startup costs.
- A cash cushion of about $31,500: three months of Year 1 operating costs.
- Together, the cash used before break even and the cushion come to about $31,500, and the three pieces add up to about $107,700, rounded up to the nearest $500: $108,000.
We are raising $37,000 more than that, $145,000 in all, to cover a slower first season than planned and the cost of adding coaches as classes fill. With this funding, the lowest year-end cash balance is about $170,000, at the end of Year 1.

Where the money comes from:
- My own money: $28,000.
- SBA 7(a) loan: $117,000.

Kind of funding we are looking for. An SBA 7(a) loan from a lender that finances fitness and sports businesses, backed by my own savings and the gym equipment as collateral.

How we will pay it back. We expect a profit of about $68,900 in Year 1, a profit of about $151,600 in Year 2, a profit of about $206,500 in Year 3, a profit of about $287,900 in Year 4 and a profit of about $373,000 in Year 5. With this funding, the business has money in the bank at the end of every year of the plan. Our loan is the SBA loan at 10.5% over 10 years, $1,579 a month. That payment is already included in our cash flow. We chose these as cautious planning rates; ask the lender for the real rates, which may be lower or higher.

What we are offering the lender: the gym equipment and my personal guarantee.

A smaller first step, if needed. If we cannot raise the full amount right away, we can start smaller and grow into this plan:
- Phase 1: open with one ring, fewer bags and a lighter class schedule, which lowers the build-out and the loan.
- Phase 2: once the classes fill, add the second ring, the youth program and the amateur team and follow this plan.
To plan the smaller start, make a copy of this plan (use Duplicate) and lower the numbers to match.

All numbers in this plan are estimates. We will update them as real results come in.

Appendix Notes

Documents to attach before you send this plan:

- Your resume and a personal financial statement (a list of what you own and what you owe; lenders usually provide a form).
- Business registration papers and your EIN (your business tax number from the IRS, free at irs.gov).
- The lease or a letter of intent from the landlord.
- Quotes for the rings, bags and flooring.
- Coach certifications, background checks and CPR records.
- Your liability insurance quote, waiver and safety policy.
- A list of founding members or people who have said they will join.
If you don't have any of this yet, no worries - let's continue.

The assumptions behind our numbers (change them in the Financials section to match your own):
- Memberships (competitive, fitness, youth): about $75 in Year 1, rising to $83; about $10 in direct costs, rising to $11; about 2,940 in Year 1, growing to 7,440.
- Private Training Sessions: about $65 in Year 1, rising to $73; about $8 in direct costs, rising to $9; about 738 in Year 1, growing to 1,860.
- A member-month is one member for one month, so 2,940 member-months is roughly 245 members on average. A private session is one student for one hour.
- Prices rise about 3% a year.
- Equipment ($38,000 in Year 1) covers two rings, heavy and speed bags, gloves and pads, strength gear, a sound system and the lockers and laundry equipment, and later years ($4,000, $6,000, $6,000 and $8,000) replace and add equipment.
- Pay (a full year, per person): owner / Head Coach (USA Boxing L3) $45,000; assistant Coach (part-time) $26,000.
- Other yearly costs in Year 1: rent and Utilities $36,000, insurance (general and professional) $9,500, ring and Equipment Maintenance $4,800, marketing $4,800. These grow between 3% and 8% a year.
- Customers and payers pay about 11 days after service, so at the end of Year 1 about $8,054 is still owed to us. Income tax at 21%.
- Every dollar amount is an estimate. Replace them with your own quotes and research.
