Executive Summary

Bright Circuit Coding and Robotics Academy is a coding and robotics academy in Arizona. We teach children and teens ages 7 to 17 how to write code, build robots, design games and solve problems, in small, hands-on classes after school and in the summer. Students make something real every session and take home projects they are proud of.

Why this fits. Parents know that technology is part of nearly every job, and they want children to learn to create, not only consume. Many schools have little time for coding, and online lessons can feel lonely. A friendly academy with small classes, patient teachers and a clear path from beginner to advanced gives children a place to learn and parents a way to see progress.

Here is what our numbers show. In Year 1 we plan about 900 student-months of tuition (about 75 students on average), 160 student-weeks of camps and 40 parties and school workshops. That brings in sales of $217,700, growing to $670,017 by Year 5 as enrollment grows to about 200 students. We expect a loss of about $36,200 in Year 1 because the lease, equipment and instructors are paid before classes fill, then a profit of about $38,500 in Year 2, $73,000 in Year 3 and $121,900 by Year 5. Rent and instructor pay are our biggest costs, and the plan counts all of them.

We need $145,000 in total. Of that, $59,500 is startup costs (laptops, robotics kits, classroom furniture and displays, software, the lease deposit, licenses, signs and insurance), and the rest is cash to cover the first months while enrollment builds. I am putting in $105,000 of my own savings and asking for a $40,000 SBA 7(a) loan.

I am Omar Haddad, the owner and academy director, with nine years as a software developer and four years teaching coding to children as a volunteer and part-time instructor. These numbers are estimates based on the assumptions listed at the end of this plan, not promises.

Company Description

Bright Circuit Coding and Robotics Academy is a small, independently owned coding and robotics academy in Arizona, planned as a limited liability company (LLC). We serve children and teens in our city and the nearby suburbs from a leased classroom space with a lobby.

Our mission. To help every child discover that they can build things with technology.

What we believe. Children learn by making. We keep classes small, let students pick projects they care about and celebrate mistakes as part of learning. We teach online safety and respect for others, we never use screens to replace play and we are honest with parents about what a child is learning. We do not promise that any child will become a programmer.

What we offer:
- Weekly classes by age and level. Block coding for younger children, text coding and game design for older students, and robotics for all ages.
- Summer and holiday camps. Week-long camps on topics such as game design, robots and app building.
- Parties and school workshops. Birthday parties and workshops at schools and libraries.
- Parent updates. A short progress note and a project showcase each term.

Who we serve. Children ages 7 to 17, parents, schools and libraries.

What we do not do. We do not promise that a child will get a job in technology, let students use the internet without supervision, collect more child data than we need or run classes without background-checked staff.

How we are run. I am the owner and academy director and I teach several classes. Instructors, about two full-time equivalents in Year 1, teach the rest. A part-time front desk and enrollment person welcomes families. An operations manager joins in Year 3. An accountant keeps the books.

Where things stand today. We have toured two spaces and have a lease offer on one, quotes for the laptops and robotics kits, a draft curriculum, commitments from three instructors and a list of about 70 families who said they would try a class. (Replace this with where you really are.)

Problem & Opportunity

Children use technology constantly, but few know how it works. Schools may offer coding for a few hours a year, and many teachers are not trained in it. Some children find online courses boring and give up. Others feel left out because they do not have a computer at home or a family member who can help.

Parents face a crowded market of programs. Some are expensive franchises, some are a single weekend camp and some teach only one tool. It is hard to know which will still be useful and whether a child is really learning.

For a new academy, the hard parts are the cost of equipment and the lease, hiring instructors who can teach and manage a room of children, keeping the curriculum fresh and filling classes in after-school hours.

We want to be clear about what we know and do not know. Coding and robotics education is popular and growing, and families keep children in programs that they enjoy. We do not know how fast classes will fill, so our plan assumes a loss in Year 1 and cash to cover it. We will use current local numbers on children and competing programs in our final plan and will not overstate them.

Products & Services

Bright Circuit Coding and Robotics Academy will give children a place to build things with code and robots, with a teacher who knows them.

How it works, step by step:
1. Free trial class. A new student tries one class and meets an instructor, who suggests a level and a class time.
2. Enroll. The family enrolls online, signs a parent permission and a technology use agreement and chooses a plan.
3. Weekly classes. Classes have no more than eight students for each instructor and follow a pattern: a short lesson, hands-on building and a share at the end.
4. Projects. Each term, students complete a project, such as a game, a robot or an app, and present it.
5. Progress. Parents receive a short note each term and an invitation to the project showcase.
6. Camps. During school breaks, students can join week-long camps.
7. Online safety. Every class includes simple rules for safe, kind behavior online, and students use filtered, supervised connections.
8. Level up. Students move to the next level when the instructor and the student agree they are ready.

Why this approach is strong. Small classes and real projects keep children engaged. Showcases give parents proof of progress and help the academy grow through word of mouth.

Market Analysis

Who we serve: children and teens ages 7 to 17, their parents, and schools and libraries in our city and the nearby suburbs.

Our primary group is families with children who like computers, games or building things. Our secondary group is schools, libraries and scout groups that want a workshop. We will use the most recent local numbers on children, schools and competing programs in our final plan.

How we sized our plan. We plan about 900 student-months of tuition in Year 1 (about 75 students on average), growing to 2,400 student-months by Year 5 (about 200 students). We also plan about 160 camp student-weeks and 40 parties and workshops in Year 1, growing to 440 and 130. Our Year 1 prices are about $165 per student each month, $320 per camp student-week and $450 per party or workshop, rising about 3% a year.

Demand data. A list of about 70 families and commitments from three instructors cover part of the first months. We do not count on any one family. Enrollment is highest in September and January and in summer for camps.

We do not take every student into every class. We place students by age and experience, and we refer families who want advanced or college-level training to other programs.

Competitive Landscape

Other choices for families, and what makes us different.

- Large franchise coding academies. They have brand recognition and structured programs. We offer a local owner and flexible, project-based classes.
- Other local coding and robotics programs. Some are very good. We compete on class size, teacher quality and clear pricing.
- Online courses and apps. They are inexpensive and flexible. We offer a teacher, classmates and hands-on robots.
- School clubs and library programs. They are often free and short. We offer a longer, deeper path.
- Self-teaching at home. Many children do. We offer guidance and a community.

What makes us different.
- No more than eight students for each instructor.
- Projects students choose and show off.
- A clear path from beginner to advanced.
- Online safety and kindness taught in every class.

What we do not claim. We are new. Larger programs have more locations and curricula. We plan to earn trust one child and one family at a time.

Marketing & Sales Strategy

How we will reach customers.

Free trial classes and open houses. We will hold an open house before opening and offer a free trial class to every new student.

Schools and libraries. We will visit schools, libraries and scout groups, offer a free demonstration and leave flyers with a trial class offer.

Online. A website with online enrollment and a class schedule, a Google business listing, reviews and social media with short videos of student projects, with each family's permission.

Referrals. Every student receives referral cards, and a family that brings a friend gets a month off tuition.

Camps and events. Summer and holiday camps and a project showcase each term bring in new families.

Pricing. About $165 per student each month, $320 per camp student-week and $450 per party or workshop in Year 1, with a discount for siblings.

Operations Plan

How the business will run.

Setup (the 3 to 4 months before opening). We will form the LLC, get an EIN and open a business bank account, sign the lease, get the city business license, buy and set up the laptops, robotics kits and furniture, set up the enrollment and billing software, background check and sign instructors and finish the first term's curriculum.

The academy. A leased space of about 2,000 to 2,500 square feet with two classrooms and a lobby. Rent is $45,000 a year in Year 1.

Staffing. In Year 1: I serve as owner and academy director and teach classes. Instructors, counted as full-time equivalents and paid $34,000 a year each, are about two in Year 1, growing to six and a half by Year 5. A part-time front desk and enrollment person, paid $22,000 a year, works from Year 1. An operations manager, paid $40,000 a year, joins in Year 3.

Costs. Direct costs for kits, supplies and project materials are about $15 per student each month, $45 per camp student-week and $65 per party or workshop in Year 1. Utilities are about $5,400 a year, insurance about $3,200, software and curriculum licenses about $6,000 and marketing about $8,400.

Safety and privacy. Every instructor passes a background check and no adult is alone with a child. Internet use is filtered and supervised, and we collect only the information we need to run classes and keep it secure.

Payments. Most families pay monthly by autopay, so cash arrives on a steady schedule.

Insurance. We carry general liability, property, workers' compensation and coverage for the equipment.

Milestones Narrative

Our goals and when we plan to reach them.
- Before opening (3 to 4 months ahead): sign the lease, get the business license, set up the classroom, finish the first curriculum, background check and sign instructors and sign up at least 50 families for a trial class.
- Year 1: about 75 students, two full-time equivalent instructors and a summer camp; $217,700 in sales and a loss of about $36,200.
- Year 2: about 117 students and three instructors; $356,071 in sales and a profit of about $38,500.
- Year 3: about 158 students, four instructors and an operations manager; $493,375 in sales and a profit of about $73,000.
- Year 4: about 183 students and five and a half instructors; $593,077 in sales and a profit of about $98,900.
- Year 5: about 200 students and six and a half instructors; $670,017 in sales and a profit of about $121,900.
Growth depends on winning and keeping customers, so treat the later years as goals, not promises.

What we check every week: students enrolled, trial classes, class attendance, cancellations, project showcases 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 $59,500, listed item by item in the Startup Costs section: $14,000 for sixteen laptops with a charging cart; $9,000 for robotics and electronics kits; $8,000 for classroom furniture, display screens and storage; $2,200 for networking, printer and a front desk setup; $2,800 for software licenses and a parent portal setup; $7,800 for lease deposit and first month of rent; $900 for business license and background checks; $2,800 for attorney: lease review, parent waiver and LLC setup; $5,500 for sign, branding and a website with online enrollment; $2,500 for opening supplies and project kits; $4,000 for insurance down payment and opening promotion.
- The cash the business uses before it breaks even, about $27,400. Most families enroll in September and January, so rent, instructors and utilities must be paid for months before classes fill, which is why cash is needed before the academy breaks even.
- A cash cushion of about $54,600: three months of Year 1 operating costs.
- Together, the cash used before break even and the cushion come to about $82,000, and the three pieces add up to about $141,500, rounded up to the nearest $500: $142,000.
We are raising $3,000 more than that, $145,000 in all, to cover a slower first season than planned and the cost of adding instructors as classes fill. With this funding, the lowest year-end cash balance is about $72,700, at the end of Year 1.

Where the money comes from:
- My own money: $105,000.
- SBA 7(a) loan: $40,000.

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

How we will pay it back. We expect a loss of about $36,200 in Year 1, a profit of about $38,500 in Year 2, a profit of about $73,000 in Year 3, a profit of about $98,900 in Year 4 and a profit of about $121,900 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 7(a) loan at 12.5% over 7 years, about $717 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 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 classroom, eight laptops and a smaller class schedule, which lowers rent and the loan.
- Phase 2: once classes fill, add the second classroom, more laptops and robotics kits 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 laptops, robotics kits and furniture.
- Your curriculum outline, class schedule and price list.
- Your parent permission, technology use agreement and background check policy.
- A list of families interested in a trial class.
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):
- Monthly Class Tuition (per student, per month): about $165 in Year 1, rising to $186; about $15 in direct costs, rising to $17.21; about 900 in Year 1, growing to 2,400.
- Summer and Holiday Camps (per student-week): about $320 in Year 1, rising to $360; about $45 in direct costs, rising to $51.64; about 160 in Year 1, growing to 440.
- Parties and School Workshops (per event): about $450 in Year 1, rising to $506; about $65 in direct costs, rising to $74.59; about 40 in Year 1, growing to 130.
- A student-month is one student enrolled for one month. About 900 student-months in Year 1 is roughly 75 students on average, growing to about 200 by Year 5. Prices rise about 3% a year.
- Equipment ($36,000 in Year 1) covers laptops, robotics kits, furniture and displays, and later years replace laptops and add kits.
- Pay (a full year, per person): owner and academy director $48,000; instructors (full-time equivalents) $34,000; front desk and enrollment (part-time) $22,000; operations manager $40,000.
- Other yearly costs in Year 1: rent $45,000, utilities $5,400, insurance $3,200, software and curriculum licenses $6,000, marketing and community events $8,400, accounting and legal $3,400, payroll taxes $9,000. These grow between 3% and 12% a year.
- Startup equipment and later purchases ($36,000 in Year 1, then $4,000, $5,000, $4,000 and $5,000) are spread evenly over five years in the plan's books.
- Customers and payers pay about 7 days after service, so at the end of Year 1 about $4,354 is still owed to us. Income tax at 21%.
- Every dollar amount is an estimate. Replace them with your own quotes and research.
