The Opportunity of the Nutrition Club Concept o Herbalife is poised for phenomenal growth in the US alone due to the introduction of the Nutrition Club Concept. In recent years, Herbalife has opened the doors for its distributors to operate Nutrition Clubs. A Nutrition Club is a type of retail outlet where customers will come to enjoy a Formula 1 Shake (shake) which is similar to a smoothie, receive a free personal Wellness Evaluation, and purchase additional Herbalife products. The American people are focused on health and longevity and are using nutritional supplements more and more to meet their goals. The demographics of (your town) and the outlying markets are prime for the products and services provided by a Nutrition Club. o Nutrition Clubs were started in Mexico on a lower scale level in homes and in low-rent areas several years ago. The growth of Nutrition Clubs has propelled Mexico to surpass the US in sales within Herbalife and have made Mexico the #1 country worldwide for the company. There are currently 50+ Americanized Clubs in the US in areas including but not limited to Hope, AK; San Antonio, TX; Kansas City, MO; as well as select towns in Virginia, Oregon, and North Dakota. The projections and estimates made in this Business Plan are based on the average results of many of the Clubs in the US but primarily focused on the clubs in Kansas City. It should be noted that the estimates are based on the lower end of actual sales and volumes produced. o The club will be providing several different services: A place for people to purchase a healthy breakfast or lunch a Formula 1 Shake and an Herbal tea for $4.50 - $5.50 Free Personal Wellness Evaluations including a free ShapeScan which will evaluate an individuals daily caloric needs, BMI body mass index, and resting metabolism Personal Consultations to develop a nutrition plan to help the customer achieve their health and/or weight management goals A retail outlet for the entire Herbalife product line Customer follow-up and feedback to ensure they are reaching their goals. Group Wellness Seminars and Weight Loss Challenges

Financial Analysis o Analysis based on 50% profit margin which is the standard in the company. It is based on a club entry fee (cost of the shake and tea) at $5.00. Potential earning is based on a monthly calculation with the Club being open 21.5 days per month on average based on a Monday thru Friday work-week. The club will generate an estimated 25-50 entries per day during the first 90 days of opening, expanding beyond that in following months. The profit is $2.70 per entry. 25 entries = $1,451.25 30 entries = $1,741.50 35 entries = $2,031.75 40 entries = $2,322 45 entries = $2,612.25 50 entries = $2,902.50

Estimated retail sales of Herbalife Products per day 200 volume points ($200 in sales) = $4300 in total sales = $2,150 profit 400 volume points ($400 in sales) = $8600 in total sales = $4,300 profit 600 volume points ($600 in sales) = $12,900 in total sales = $6,450 profit 800 volume points ($800 in sales) = $17,200 in total sales = $8,600 profit 1,000 volume points ($1000 in sales) = $21,000 in total sales = $10,500 profit

The Start-up costs will vary from Club to Club depending on the location: 1-month rent to secure space approx. $2,000 Possible tenant improvements to the property. Ideally this will be included in the lease terms and not be an out-of-pocket expense. Estimated range from $0 - $8,000

Inventory of Herbalife Products $2,000 Blenders, kitchen utensils, etc. $300 Furniture $2,000 Dcor & Accessories $500 Total Start up Costs $7,000 - $15,000

Insert Financing Here: ex: GBI will borrow the start-up costs necessary from an Equityline with available credit of $$$ from the owners. GBI is borrowing the money from a local bank. The owners of GBI have the money ready to invest in opening the Nutrition Club, etc.

Marketing and Advertising Plan o There is an extensive training and support structure in place in the US to facilitate the sharing of successful business building practices in the Nutrition Club groups currently in operation. Leaders in the Nutrition Club group provide weekly conference calls as well as local, regional, and national training events. o Business cards/coupons will be circulated inviting individuals in for a Free Shake, Tea, and Health Evaluation. Generating business will come from several areas: Current Herbalife Customers 10 personal invites per day Referrals of existing customers Drive-by traffic & signage on location Advertising opportunities including newspaper and direct mail to households and businesses in the immediate zip code Drawing boxes left at other business such as gyms and salons

Operations Plan o The Club will be open from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday (insert hours here). Depending on the location, earlier or later hours may be developed as well as Saturday hours. The busy times of the day will be during breakfast and lunch hours when people will come in for their healthy meal. Individuals can walk-in or schedule an appointment to get a ShapeScan, complete a Wellness Evaluation, and receive a one-on-one consultation. The Club owners will recommend the program and products to help them

reach their optimal health. The Club will also be used to facilitate group classes such as Wellness Workshops and Weight Loss Challenges.

Duplication Plan o The plan for expansion is to use their Club as a prototype and training hub and to recruit 5 new Distributors to open their own Clubs in the area within six months. They plan to expand to 30 Distributors with Clubs in their organization within 18-24 months. The marketing plan with Herbalife pays the upline Supervisor, in this case GBI, a 5% royalty on all business produced by the supervisors in an organization. The income potential based on duplicating the Club concept is remarkable: o 5 clubs generating $15,000 each = $3,750 royalty check 10 clubs generating $15,000 each = $7,500 royalty check 30 clubs generating $15,000 each = $22,500 royalty check

In addition, a Production Bonus will also be earned at certain levels elevating these incomes even higher. The above amounts are based on volume generated each month and are received monthly.

Projections o After the Club has officially opened for business, the projection is to have at least 20 club entries per day, as well as over $10,000 in sales the first month. The profit estimated the first month alone is $5,946. Within 90 days the Club is estimated to generate between 3050 club entries per day and over $15,000 in retail sales. The income generated from this projection ranges from $8,919 to $9,810. (These estimates are based on the 50+ clubs currently operating in the US previously mentioned). o o By finding other distributors to open 5 new Clubs in the subsequent 6 months the income will increase to over $12,500. By having 30 Clubs in the organization, the income will be in excess of $30,000 per month.
