Executive Summary
Overview
De Kliek Style Studio is an upscale women's clothing boutique that will open in July this year. De Kliek, which means "the
clique" or "circle of friends" in Dutch, de nes the boutique and its essence of inclusion. De Kliek's clothing selections
and exclusive personal style services, which include a detailed Style Assessment, will ensure that our customers are well
dressed. De Kliek is a woman-owned business currently organized as a Sole Proprietorship.

Clothing for stylish women

De Kliek will carry Ready-to-Wear (RTW) designer and casual/contemporary apparel & accessories for women, and will
be the exclusive U.S. home of the German line, Herr Frau. In addition to the fabulous Herr Frau line, De Kliek will feature
other choice selections by American and European designers such as Hocken, Weekend MaxMini, Tosca and Catherine
the Great. The De Kliek customer is a busy professional woman who lives in Los Angeles with a household income over
$100K. She enjoys the boutique fashions and wants a place where she can go to get services that meet her busy lifestyle.

Unique & innovative

De Kliek will provide services such as Style Assessments, alterations, personal shopping, and special ordering to
customers during store hours and by personal appointments. Style Concierges who are trained within the image industry
will be available to customers on a daily basis. De Kliek's innovative Style Assessments and educational
emphasis in helping women develop their personal styles will enhance our reputation as a truly unique boutique.

Getting the word out

De Kliek will generate awareness and sales by utilizing PR tactics and the referral networks of personal stylists.
Additionally, De Kliek will meet our customers where they are, focusing on how women approach shopping by obtaining
mentions and reviews in the top fashion publications, travel guides and local papers.

Management
With over 12 years experience in marketing and retail, owner Vrootje Magen has gathered the expertise to complement
and grow the business. Our advisory team holds expertise in retail accounting, retail merchandising, legal contracts,
fashion and design. A detailed project plan has been created and all tasks are on schedule. Buying for the Fall/Winter
season was completed in April, and store design and marketing elements are currently being nalized.

Finance

Start-up costs include inventory for the rst month, and are estimated at $132,700 of which the owner will
inject 31.4%. Current owner investments are documented at approximately $41,700, of which $12,700 is in
savings and checking. An additional injection of approximately $8,700 will occur by July 15 of Year 1.

Annual gross sales are projected to grow from $513,000 in the rst year to over $600,000 by Year 3, with
approximately 10% from customer special orders. These Sales forecasts are approximately three-quarters
the average of benchmarked Los Angeles boutiques. Net pro ts are expected at approximately 6% through
2007, with reinvestment of 5% for growth initiatives.

De Kliek will hold Cost of Goods Sold at roughly 39% of sales revenues; we intend to maintain this
approximately 61% markup throughout the next ve years.

Due to the demand for up-to-date fashions, inventory turns are projected at 5, which is higher than the
industry average of 4.
