Research Paper on:
Spa and Executive Fitness Center Financials

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
need for an executive spa and fitness center has been established. As stated in previous sections, the venture has high startup costs but shows much promise of lucrative return  in a relatively short time. Those high startup costs will be offset somewhat by the lease of space to contracted professionals, each of  whom will bring a specific talent and expertise to the venture. Rather than filling a cost category for labor and equipment, these professionals will pay the founder initial payments  of $5,000 for lease of space. Each contractor will be responsible for the equipment and supplies needed for the specific addition s/he brings to the venture. The initial  payment represents rent for the first six months, advertising support and furnishing of all utilities and limited insurance coverage. In month 7 of  operation and for each subsequent month that the contractor remains onsite, the contractor will pay the company a percentage of monthly receipts in addition to nominal space fees of $300.  This arrangement helps defray startup costs attributable to the owners while ensuring that all parties receive fair treatment after the business begins to be established in the local community.  Table 1 illustrates total startup expenses exclusive of contractors product and equipment needs.
