Industry history

The information technology (IT) industry has modernized in stunning ways over the last few

decades. From the days of expensive and bulky computers to the current era of ubiquitous

computing, telecommunications, and the internet – IT has come a long way. Pioneering cities,

like Los Angeles have bloomed into hubs of technology and invention, attracting established IT

companies and startups alike1.

We've seen unprecedented advances in the IT sector in recent years: software has grown

incredibly sophisticated, cloud computing has become increasingly widespread, AI is evolving

quickly, and IoT is being pushed the boundaries. These changes have presumably altered the way

industries work, optimizing output, streamlining workflows, and allowing for unchartered

business plans.

Los Angeles, an epitome of technological advancement, has a diverse business and skilled

workforce landscape in its vicinity2. Containing tech-savvy entrepreneurs, foremost IT service

suppliers, and multinationals within its midst, it is a pioneering hub for the most contemporary

concepts. An ever-expanding need for IT services and products attests to the prevalence of

cutting-edge technology, of which businesses are taking advantage. TechSolutions, in light of

this grand parade, seeks to supply superior and pioneering IT solutions, operating within the city

and beyond to further address the changing demands of businesses. Following is the key

advancements of the computing sector from its early ages:

The Early Computing Era (1940s-1950s): This was a period that saw the emergence of

mainframe computers, credited to the efforts of brilliant minds like the pioneering Alan Turing

and John von Neumann. These high-powered machines brought forth large-scale data processing

capabilities - essential for scientific and military applications3.

A Revolutionary Development (1970s-1980s): In 1971, Intel's groundbreaking invention of the

microprocessor marked a revolutionary change in the computer industry. Its arrival paved the

way for the more accessible computers that were to come - PCs. Companies like Apple and

Microsoft quickly became integral for the ever-growing proliferation of PCs, making technology

available to everyone.

Internet and the world wide web (1990’s): Tim Berners Lee invented the internet and the world

wide web in the 1990’s which was the era of the revolution in the sector of IT. The invention of

the internet facilitated people with the easy data sharing and the information access. It created a

whole new vision for the globalization4.

Mobile and Wireless Technologies (2000s): The IT industry entered into a new era with the

uncountable amount of mobile devices and wireless technologies in use. Smartphones, with

OF_COMPUTERS
advances in mobile networks, gave birth to mobile applications, mobile commerce, and the

Internet of Things (IoT).

Cloud Computing and Big Data (2010s): With the continuously rising development of cloud

computing, businesses could now make use of flexible and scalable infrastructure on demand.

Additionally, the abundance of data from digital platforms sparked the emergence of big data

analytics, allowing businesses to gain actionable insights and make data-driven decisions5.

Over the course of its history, IT has been massively shaped and altered by the impact of a select

few legendary figures and organizations. Individuals like Charles Babbage, Lady Ada Lovelace,

Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerberg have all played an integral role in driving

innovation and remodeling the industry. Also, there are countless regulations, governmental

rules, and policies in place which have been vital in molding the development of the IT industry,

tackling issues such as data protection, intellectual property and information security, to name

but a few.

No matter how diverse or distinct, each sub-sector of IT such as software manufacture, hardware

production, IT consulting, information security, data analysis, and beyond have all had their own

part in forming the history of the IT industry, bringing about radical alteration and palpable

development.

Legal form of ownership

TechSolutions is officially a Limited Liability Company (LLC), a popular and flexible business

structure that offers the advantages of a corporation and a partnership while providing limited

liability protection to its owners. In this sense, the company will have its own legal standing,
5

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/366701300_Cloud_and_Big_Data_Electronic_Age_A_Review_
Muneeba_Afzal_Mukhdoomi
rendering the personal assets of the members safe from any liabilities or debts that might be

incurred by TechSolutions. The choice of an LLC legal structure for TechSolutions is a shrewd

decision as it provides an element of protection and reduces the open exposure of the owners.

The decision to go with an LLC is based on several aspects, such as its uncomplicated and

truncated set up in comparison to a corporation. Furthermore, it allows for flexibility in

managing roles and responsibilities within the company. From a fiscal standpoint, an LLC allows

pass-through taxation where individual people of the LLC will have the company’s beneficial

assets and losses transferred to their personal tax return leading to no double taxation. This can

be particularly beneficial for startups and small businesses6.

Choosing to organize TechSolutions as an LLC provides a myriad of benefits. The liability

protection, flexibility, tax advantages, and professional image that come with this structure offer

an ideal way for us to secure our business, limit risks, and maximize our operational potential.

Furthermore, the LLC strengthens our professional brand -- ensuring we remain credible and

trusted by clients, vendors, and partners alike. All of these benefits come by committing to

formal legal structures and adhering to established business practices - an investment we believe

in for the future of the company.

Location and facilities:

TechSolutions, poised to strategically select Los Angeles’s prime business area, is situated in the

heart of vibrant California, USA. This strategic location grants easy access to key clients,

potential partners, and industry networks, with major transportation hubs within reach.

Designed to nurture collaboration, creativity, and productivity, the office will be a modern,

ergonomic haven; allowing the team to work comfortably in designated areas. Equipped with top

6

communication tech and tools, this area will enable effortless collaborative opportunities.

Enticing clients and employees alike with its sophisticated infrastructure, TechSolutions is sure

to benefit from its prime positioning.

To ensure the quality and functionality of TechSolutions' offerings, the company will allocate a

dedicated space for showcasing and testing its products–a space that reflects the company's

professionalism, efficiency, and commitment to providing their clients with superior IT solutions

and services. This space will be outfitted with the necessary hardware, software, and testing

tools, and will serve as an interactive demonstration area for clients to experience the benefits of

TechSolutions' offerings first-hand. With the careful selection of a location and facilities,

TechSolutions will be sure to thoroughly showcase its reliable and innovative IT solutions.

strategies.

3. Identifying financial aspirations and controlling the progress of accomplishing them.

in order to gain valuable insight.

2. Tracking key customer satisfaction metrics such as the Net Promoter Score (NPS) and

customer retention rates on an ongoing basis.

3. Acting on customer feedback promptly and making necessary improvements based on

critical customer input.

 G. Financial Report

Suggested length of 1–2 pages

G1. Financial Projections: Summarize the financial projections and the assumptions used in

estimating the financial statements.

G2. Financial Position: Describe the company’s financial position at the end of the first year.

G3. Estimated Capital/Investment Needs: Describe the company’s initial and future estimated

capital/investment needs.

Financial projection:

The financial projections of the company have been declared positive for the coming year.

According to the profit and loss statement, an influx of revenue is expected, commencing at

$20,000 during the inaugural month and culminating to a gross figure of $75,000 at the instance

of the end of the year. To conserve costs, the operating expenses have been carefully handled,

usually staying within the allocated bracket of $13,000 to $15,000 per month. This strategy has

generated consistent profits, beginning with a modest gain of $6,500 in the initial month and

eventually reaching $59,500 in the twelfth. Consequently, an impressive net profit of $395,500 is

predicted at the closure of the fiscal year.

Financial position:

At the end of its first year in business, the company is in a strong financial position. A review of

the balance sheet reveals total assets amounting to $587,500, comprised of current assets of

$132,000 (including cash, receivables and inventory) and long-term assets of $455,000

(including furniture and equipment, vehicle and building). Liabilities total $92,000 comprising of

both current liabilities of $12,000 (including accounts payable and wages payable) and non-

current liabilities of $80,000 (loan payable). Owner's equity amounts to $495,500, reflecting the

owner's initial investment of $100,000 and retained earnings of $395,500. All in all, the
company’s financial position is exemplary, a reflection of the perfect combination of liabilities

and equity to facilitate growth in the future.

Estimated capital investment needs:

The initial capital investment for the company includes $100,000 as an owner's investment and

$10,000 as loan. These funds are to be spent on pre-launch expenses, assets such as furniture,

equipment, and vehicles, and storefront establishment. While concluding the first year, the

remaining loan balance is estimated to be $7,500. Nevertheless, the company might necessitate

more capital in the future — like in the third or fourth year — when branching out to new

locations and recruiting extra staff. Despite that, studying the financial projections and current

financial health of the firm indicate that external funding isn't an immediate priority for the firm's

growth and operations.
