HodgePodge Sealcoating Company

1.0 Executive Summary

HodgePodge Sealcoating Company is a service provider that offers crack filling and sealcoating
to residential customers. Sealcoating protects asphalt driveways by filling the cracks and
coating the surface of the driveway, protecting it against the elements. HodgePodge will
leverage their industry-benchmarked customer service to rapidly gain market share.

Although HodgePodge is a seasonal business (cold temperatures and rain do not allow the
coating to cure properly) spanning eight months, they will maintain an office/garage year round
because they were able to find a low rent facility in an industrial district. Even while only
operating seasonally, HodgePodge will reach profitability by month seven and will
achieve respectable profits by the end of year three.

1.1 Objectives

The objectives for the first three years of operation include:

 To create a service-based company whose primary goal is to exceed customer's


expectations.
 To increase the number of clients by 20% per year through superior service.
 To develop a sustainable start-up business, surviving off its own cash flow.

Page 1
HodgePodge Sealcoating Company

1.2 Keys to Success

The keys to success will be to provide a reasonably priced sealcoating job that exceeds
customer's objective expectations. Objective is used as a modifier as the sealcoating business is
not known for outstanding customer service.

1.3 Mission

HodgePodge Sealcoating Company's mission is to provide customers with the finest level of
service available in the industry. We exist to attract and maintain customers. When we adhere
to this maxim, everything else will fall into place. Our services will exceed the expectations of
our customers.

2.0 Company Summary

HodgePodge Sealcoating Company, soon to be based in Washington, PA, is a sealcoating


company that serves the residential market. HodgePodge will based out of a garage with a
room attached to serve as the storage facility and office. The truck will be stored in this facility
as well as the raw materials. Attached to this space is small room that will serve as the office.

HodgePodge is a seasonal business as a sealcoat cannot be applied when it is too cold or if it is


wet. The garage/office set up is located in an industrial area which will lower the rental cost
enough so it is not a burden to hold on to the office during the off-season.

2.1 Company Ownership

HodgePodge is a sole proprietorship owned and operated by Dan Slopster.

2.2 Start-up Summary

HodgePodge will incur the following start-up costs:

 Computer system with CD-RW, printer, Microsoft Office, QuickBooks Pro, and Internet
connection.
 Desk, chair, file cabinet and cellular phone.
 Pickup truck and gasoline leaf blower.
 Sealcoating mixer and hot crack filler mixer.
 Squeegees for sealcoat and crack filler application.
 Containers for raw ingredient storage and sand (for filling cracks larger than 1/8th inch in
depth).
 Work clothing and water container.

Some items are considered assets to be used for more than a year, and will be labeled long-
term assets and will be depreciated using G.A.A.P. approved straight-line depreciation method.

3.0 Services

HodgePodge provides residential sealcoating and crack filling. Sealcoating is the process of
spreading a thin layer of an asphalt-based product that coats the surface of an asphalt
driveway, filling in small cracks and sealing the surface against the elements. Part of the
sealcoating process is applying crack filler first, a rubberized liquid that fills the gaps that are
created in the driveway. If the crack is more than 1/8th inch in depth, sand must be added
to fill up the empty space.

Before the driveway is ready to be sealcoated it must first be cleared of all debris. This will help
adhesion of the sealcoat. Once the driveway is clear of debris, the cracks are filled. Next the
sealcoat goes on and the driveway must then dry for 24 hours before use.

The typical cost for sealcoating a driveway ranges from $200-$300 depending on size and
condition of the driveway.

4.0 Market Analysis Summary

HodgePodge has identified two distinct segments of the population that are consumers of a
sealcoating service. HodgePodge will have one marketing campaign that will reach both
populations.

4.1 Market Segmentation

HodgePodge's market can be segmented into two groups:

 People with disposable income who can afford to pay someone. This group typically
has a household income over $50,000 and pay many service providers to maintain their
home (i.e. lawn care).

 Older people that believe they are not physically capable of doing it themselves, or
choose not to. This group believes that sealcoating is too much exertion for them or way
too messy, particularly at their age. This group also believes that sealcoating the driveway
will greatly extend the life of the driveway.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

HodgePodge's strategy for reaching these people will be based on a series of advertisements in
the local paper. Within the metro section of the paper there is an area where local service
providers advertise. This section appears to be well received by the readership as people of the
community often refer to this section when they are trying to find a service provider.

In addition to the advertisements, HodgePodge will also have a yellow pages advertisement.
Lastly, HodgePodge will leverage word of mouth referrals. HodgePodge will create an economic
incentive for current customers to make a referral for a new customer. While this will take a
small amount away from profit margins, it will build a loyal customer base for successive years.

4.3 Service Business Analysis

The sealcoating business is made up of primarily independent contractors, larger paving


companies, and a few franchises. In general the bulk of the business is from independent
contractors.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

The sealcoating industry is made up of independent contractors that do paving and sealcoating,
as well as two sealcoat specific companies, Dura-Seal and Sealer King.

The buying patterns of consumers are typically based on price and and perceived customer
service, with an emphasis on price. Price is emphasized is because there often is little to
differentiate companies based on the actual product (because the customer is not aware of the
seal coating materials until the job is done and even then it is very difficult for the consumer to
perceive a difference) and in general the industry is not known for its stellar customer service.

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

HodgePodge will be aggressively courting new customers by leveraging their competitive


advantage of superior customer support. In an industry that is not known for their customer
support, it is quite easy to stand out with good customer service. During the initial estimation
phases, HodgePodge employees will be able to professionally respond to any questions that the
customer may have. This meeting also gives HodgePodge the opportunity to provide the
customer with a written pamphlet of information that explains information about HodgePodge
the company, offers general information about sealcoating, the pros and cons of sealcoating as
well as what expectations the consumer can reasonably have about a sealcoating service
provider. This initial interaction will give HodgePodge an opportunity to show off its stellar
customer service, which will turn the prospective person into a client.

5.1 Competitive Edge

HodgePodge's competitive edge is outstanding customer service. This begins with the initial
interaction when providing the customer with an estimate. The next chance to shine is the time
when the company is on-site laying down the sealcoat. Upon finishing the job an employee will
briefly speak (or leave written documentation if the customer is not home) with the customer
detailing what was just done to their driveway, what needs to be done in regards to curing,
what are some reasonable expectations in regards to the service and what to do if they have
any problems or questions.

Page 6
HodgePodge Sealcoating Company

The employees will be specifically trained on how to interact with the customer so HodgePodge
will feel comfortable in letting the employees who are laying down the sealcoating be
HodgePodge's representative with the customer.

5.2 Sales Strategy

HodgePodge's sales strategy will be based on impressing the customer with excellent customer
service when HodgePodge's representative meets with the prospective customer. The
sealcoating costs between all of the different competitors are going to be quite similar.
Regardless, it is difficult to compete on price.

With this in mind, HodgePodge will compete on superior service. HodgePodge will give the
customer detailed information about sealcoating, what the advantages and disadvantages are,
and what are reasonable expectations consumers should have. HodgePodge will arm the
prospective consumer with information to make a more educated choice. HodgePodge believes
that by providing the customer with as much information about the service, they will choose
HodgePodge's because they appreciate HodgePodge attempt to benefit the consumer.

5.2.1 Sales Forecast

There will be no sales activity during the first month so this time will be used to set up the work
area and the office. The next month will be used to line up initial customers as well hire and
train employees. By the third month, HodgePodge will begin sealcoating driveways. Business
should steadily grow through September when the season will begin to wind down. Profitability
will be reached by month seven.

6.0 Management Summary

HodgePodge is owned and operated by Dan Slopster. Dan was first introduced to sealcoating
during his summer before leaving for college. Dan created his own small sealcoating company
where he would walk around the neighborhood and sign up neighbors for sealcoating jobs. This
occurred after sealcoating his parents driveway and recognizing that after you get into a
rhythm, it was not that difficult. Dan would do everything himself, the soliciting of the job as
well as all the work.

The next year Dan went off to college, pursuing his Bachelor of Arts at Washington and
Jefferson College. When Dan came home during the summers, he usually had several old
customers calling him asking him to do their driveway. Dan was generally more than happy as
it was easy money for him. Ultimately, Dan graduated and went to work in the Human
Resource department of Heinz which have their corporate offices in Pittsburgh. This was a good
experience but working for someone for the rest of Dan's life is not his cup of tea.

Dan left Heinz, moved down to Washington, PA and began contemplating what he could do as
his own boss. After researching the market he realized that his old job as a sealcoater was an
especially attractive industry because the industry in general had poor customer service. His
research indicated a new company could be a success if it concentrated on satisfying the
customer.

6.1 Personnel Plan

Dan will be working full time for HodgePodge. He will be doing the hiring, training, sales, and
strategic development, as well as helping out with the actual driveway work for training
proposes.

Three full-time employees will be hired by month three and they will be working with
HodgePodge through the beginning of November when the sealcoating season will be coming to
an end.

For the second season, three more people will be hired (an additional crew).
