Barriers to Entry
There are currently very few barriers to entry aside from the legal aspects of forming a business, purchasing the facility and obtaining and maintaining a customer base. We have a solid marketing plan in place to assist us in obtaining a customer base, and are seeing an investor to fund our purchase of the facility.
Future Completion

In addition to this advantage, the facility will afford us the perk of being able to schedule photography sessions year around, regardless of weather.
In our facility we will provide various toys and encouraging treats for animals, backdrops and props, and well as comfortable seating for our clients as they wait.
Risk Assessment
The major risks associated with a startup business are 1.) obtaining a customer base in a previously developed area, 2.) staying ahead of the technological curve and 3.) maintaining acquired customer base. Moreover, to these three major risks, funding will need to be acquired prior to opening for the renting of the studio and partial purchase of the various equipment.
Definition of Strategic Position
Our strategic position over our competitors is our fundamental ability to provide year-round photography sessions regardless of weather or season in our sanitary photography studio. This puts us firmly ahead of the competition, which is primarily made up of on-site photographers. Our previous experience with photography will set us ahead of start up photographers, and our facility will provide a base for expanding our services to traveling photography and on-site photography in the future.

Although the restaurant industry is perceived to have high risk of failure, the risk of a restaurant failing is not too different from other small businesses. Parsa et al. quantified the risk of failure at 26% in the first year and 57% by year 3. He also described several factors that can influence the risk of failure. Those include physical location, firm size, speed of growth, differentiation from other restaurants in the market, adapting to external trends, and management experience. In terms of location and differentiation, Paul’s bar will be located in a new development designed to attract affluent customers and with very few competitors. Paul’s small firm size increases risk because of barriers to attract partners (i.e. suppliers and bankers are prejudiced against smaller firms) and growth that may be too rapid to manage. On the other hand, Robert already has experience in the restaurant business and should know how to run the bar and subsequent restaurant. Their choice of a piano bar may be in response to local trends that favor success.

Additionally, to determine what the consuming public spend all this money on, one need look no further than the Worldwide Web for a product overview of PetSmart. Epstein (2016) reported, PetSmart, sells “... birds, guinea pigs, mice, turtles, lizards, and supplies for these and just about every other animal, excluding elephants, otters, walruses, panthers, and perhaps a few others” (para. 1). Also, during a recent visit to PetSmart where I purchased another fancy koi for a backyard pond, I discovered that along with the assortment of pets and supplies they offer for sale, they also provide pet grooming services and veterinary care. Personally, I was astonished at the variety of aquariums, lighting, and pets to name only a few of the items that were available for the adamant and casual animal lover.

My name is Catherine Beard and I have been interested in the field of freelance photography since the summer of 2006. That summer, my family went to Disney World in Orlando, Florida and my father purchased a throw away instant camera for me to use.

I preferred to take pictures of people and activities versus static images of buildings. Soon after arriving home, I encouraged my father to purchase my first camera.
