Executive Summary
The purpose of this business report is to provide information necessary for start-up investors to launch Cinderella Carriage, the mobile beauty salon. Cinderella Carriage is going to solve busy women's problem of finding time to pamper and groom themselves in Southern California. Commuter traffic in Southern California is hectic and tiring. According to U.S Census Bureau estimates, of the 15 million Californians who commute to work, 2.7 million spend at least forty-five minutes getting to their jobs, with upwards of more than 470,000 commuters spending ninety minutes or more getting to work. (California Watch) The commute time "includes time spent waiting for public transportation, picking up passengers in carpools, and time spent in other activities related to getting to work." (California Watch) Since people already spend valuable time getting to and from work, spending time commuting to other activities such as going to a salon will be another waste of time.
