The abovementioned services will be professionally handled. We have no doubt about the quality of our services because we have skillful, trained and experienced professionals.

• Our Mission

We are on a mission to establish a reputable quarrying company. Hence, our goal is to be known for quality. This will be visible in all areas of our operations. Such areas will include our customer services, marketing, staff welfare and other areas.

There are major players in the quarrying industry. But we are in in it to make it more competitive. Hence, our sights are set on breaking into the top tier. Breaking into the top league will be achieved with a decade. We are also interested in working the talk.

Operating a quarry is capital intensive. This is because heavy machinery take up a good chunk of the costs. Running costs are additional expenses incurred during operations. Therefore the financial implications are enormous. We seek to raise the sum of $1,500,000.00. This sum will be raising solely from loans. We have a preference for low interest loans. About 80% of this sum will be spent on equipment purchase. However, 20% will be channeled into operational costs.

• SWOT Analysis

This is a part of our planning phase we cannot overlook. Hence, we have done a SWOT test. This is an analysis of our strength, weakness, opportunities and threats.

 i. Strength

Our strength as a company is founded in our expertise and experience. This counts for much considering the complexities involved. Consequently, we’ve seen tremendous opportunities for improvement. Although a lot has improved, there’s still room for improvement. This is why we are upbeat in our resolve to offer enhanced services.

This is a critical role we intend to play.

  ii. Weakness

Weakness is often misconstrued with failure. However, that isn’t the case. At Romboldt Quarries, we have identified our weaknessses to include our size and capacity. However, this is only temporal in other words, we intend to enhance our capacity within the shortest time possible. The more the capacity, the higher the number of clients we can serve. There is no gain saying that we are well poised to achieve our targets.

   iii. Opportunities

We are in business for the opportunities. Hence our determination to do all it takes within legal boundaries to promote our business. The boom in the construction industry has become our major motivation. Also, this doesn’t seem short-lived. Therefore we have hired the best hands in the industry. Such team will streamline our activities towards achieving set targets. We also seek to adapt to circumstances as they unfold.

iv. Threats

Threats are ever present. However how well they are handled determines success. We have assessed our threats. While doing so, we have also measured our levels of exposure. Hence, in anticipation, we’ve been able to create a buffer (by diversifying our services). This will enable us absorb any shocks that may result. These are in the form of an economic recession as well as a crash in the housing market.

• Sales Projection

This is the essence of our operations. Without sales, our activities can’t be sustained. Based on trends, we’ve done a 3 year sales projection. This has turned out promising and shows the following results;

• First Financial Year.   $890,000.00
• Second Financial Year. $1,800,000.00
• Third Financial Year.  $3,000,000.00
• Marketing Strategy

This is critical to running a profitable business. Hence we have chosen a vibrant marketing team. This team will ensure that a robust campaign is initiated. In addition, our contacts (mostly contractors) within the construction industry will be taken advantage of.

• Competitive Advantage

Our competitive advantage lies in our wealth of experience. In other words, we have made up for size with experience and expertise. This will enable us compete favourably with other quarrying businesses. The welfare of our workforce is also a factor that sets us apart from the pack.

This quarry business plan sample has highlighted some of the most important aspects of a good plan. We are confident that you will find this very useful in preparing a plan.

However a plan isn’t sufficient enough. You need to also implement. But this stage should be taken only after you must have carefully completed your plan. It’s best to have a second opinion. It’s best to seek such from experienced persons.

How To Start A Quarry Business

“From excavation to profit: A beginner’s guide to starting a successful quarry business .”

Introduction

Starting a quarry business involves several important steps and considerations. It requires a significant amount of planning and preparation to ensure that the business is successful and profitable. In this guide, we will discuss the key steps involved in starting a quarry business, including conducting market research, securing funding, selecting a location, obtaining necessary permits and licenses, and developing a business plan. By following these steps, you can increase your chances of success and build a thriving quarry business.

Location Selection for Quarry Business

Starting a quarry business can be a lucrative venture if done correctly. One of the most important aspects of starting a quarry business is selecting the right location. The location of your quarry can determine the success or failure of your business. In this article, we will discuss the factors to consider when selecting a location for your quarry business.

Firstly, you need to consider the availability of raw materials. The primary reason for starting a quarry business is to extract raw materials such as limestone, granite, and sandstone. Therefore, it is essential to choose a location where these materials are readily available. You should conduct a geological survey of the area to determine the type and quality of raw materials available. This will help you to estimate the potential profitability of your quarry business.

Secondly, you need to consider the proximity to your target market. The closer your quarry is to your target market, the lower your transportation costs will be. This will enable you to offer competitive prices to your customers and increase your profit margins. You should also consider the accessibility of your quarry to transportation routes such as highways, railways, and waterways. This will make it easier to transport your raw materials to your customers.

Thirdly, you need to consider the environmental impact of your quarry business. Quarrying can have a significant impact on the environment, including air and water pollution, soil erosion, and habitat destruction. Therefore, you should choose a location that minimizes the environmental impact of your quarry business. You should also comply with all environmental regulations and obtain the necessary permits before starting your quarry business.

Fourthly, you need to consider the availability of labor. Quarrying requires a significant amount of labor, including skilled and unskilled workers. Therefore, you should choose a location where there is a sufficient supply of labor. You should also consider the cost of labor in the area and ensure that it is competitive.

Fifthly, you need to consider the availability of utilities. Quarrying requires a significant amount of energy and water. Therefore, you should choose a location where there is a reliable supply of electricity and water. You should also consider the cost of utilities in the area and ensure that it is competitive.

Lastly, you need to consider the zoning regulations in the area. Zoning regulations can restrict the type of activities that can be carried out in a particular area. Therefore, you should choose a location where quarrying is permitted. You should also ensure that you comply with all zoning regulations before starting your quarry business.

In conclusion, selecting the right location for your quarry business is crucial to its success. You should consider the availability of raw materials, proximity to your target market, environmental impact, availability of labor, availability of utilities, and zoning regulations when selecting a location for your quarry business. By considering these factors, you can increase the profitability of your quarry business and minimize its environmental impact.

Equipment and Machinery Needed for Quarry Business

Firstly, a quarry business requires heavy-duty equipment such as loaders, excavators, and dump trucks. These machines are used to extract the raw materials from the quarry site. Loaders are used to load the extracted materials onto the dump trucks, which then transport the materials to the processing plant.

Excavators are used to dig deep into the ground to extract the raw materials. They are also used to remove any unwanted materials such as rocks and debris. Dump trucks are used to transport the extracted materials from the quarry site to the processing plant.

Secondly, a quarry business requires crushing equipment to process the raw materials. Crushers are used to break the raw materials down into smaller pieces. This makes it easier to transport the materials to the processing plant. There are different types of crushers available, such as jaw crushers, cone crushers, and impact crushers. Each type of crusher has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose the right one for your quarry business.

Thirdly, a quarry business requires screening equipment to separate the crushed materials into different sizes. This is important because different sizes of materials are used for different purposes. For example, smaller materials are used for road construction, while larger materials are used for building construction. There are different types of screening equipment available, such as vibrating screens, trommel screens, and scalping screens.

Fourthly, a quarry business requires drilling equipment to extract the raw materials from the ground. Drilling equipment is used to create holes in the ground to extract the raw materials. There are different types of drilling equipment available, such as rotary drills, percussion drills, and diamond drills. Each type of drilling equipment has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose the right one for your quarry business.

Lastly, a quarry business requires transportation equipment to transport the raw materials from the quarry site to the processing plant. This includes trucks, trailers, and conveyor belts. Trucks and trailers are used to transport the raw materials from the quarry site to the processing plant. Conveyor belts are used to transport the raw materials from the processing plant to the storage area.

In conclusion, starting a quarry business requires the right equipment and machinery. Heavy-duty equipment such as loaders, excavators, and dump trucks are needed to extract the raw materials from the quarry site. Crushing equipment is needed to process the raw materials, while screening equipment is needed to separate the crushed materials into different sizes. Drilling equipment is needed to extract the raw materials from the ground, and transportation equipment is needed to transport the raw materials from the quarry site to the processing plant. By having the right equipment and machinery, you can ensure the success of your quarry business.

It should also be consistent across all your marketing channels, including your website, social media, and advertising materials.

3. Build a Professional Website

In today’s digital age, having a professional website is essential for any business.

Financial Planning for Quarry Business

Starting a quarry business can be a lucrative venture if done correctly. However, like any other business, it requires careful financial planning to ensure its success. In this article, we will discuss the key financial considerations that you need to keep in mind when starting a quarry business.

Firstly, you need to determine the start-up costs of your quarry business. This includes the cost of acquiring land, machinery, and equipment, as well as the cost of obtaining the necessary permits and licenses. You should also factor in the cost of hiring employees and paying for their salaries and benefits.

To determine your start-up costs, you should create a detailed business plan that outlines all the expenses involved in starting and running your quarry business. This will help you to identify any potential financial challenges and come up with strategies to overcome them.

Once you have determined your start-up costs, you need to figure out how you will finance your quarry business. There are several options available, including taking out a business loan, seeking investment from venture capitalists or angel investors, or using your own personal savings .

If you decide to take out a business loan, you should shop around for the best interest rates and repayment terms. You should also ensure that you have a solid business plan in place to convince lenders that your quarry business is a viable investment.

If you decide to seek investment from venture capitalists or angel investors, you should prepare a pitch deck that outlines your business plan and financial projections. You should also be prepared to answer any questions that potential investors may have about your quarry business.

If you decide to use your own personal savings to finance your quarry business, you should ensure that you have enough money set aside to cover all your start-up costs and operating expenses for at least the first year of operation.

Once you have secured financing for your quarry business, you need to create a budget that outlines your expected income and expenses. This will help you to track your cash flow and ensure that you are staying within your budget.

You should also create a financial forecast that projects your expected revenue and expenses for the next three to five years. This will help you to identify any potential financial challenges and come up with strategies to overcome them.

In addition to creating a budget and financial forecast, you should also establish a system for tracking your financial performance. This may include using accounting software to track your income and expenses, as well as regularly reviewing your financial statements to identify any areas where you can cut costs or increase revenue.

Finally, you should consider hiring a financial advisor or accountant to help you manage your quarry business finances. They can provide valuable advice on financial planning, tax planning, and investment strategies, as well as help you to stay on top of your financial obligations and regulatory requirements.

In conclusion, starting a quarry business requires careful financial planning to ensure its success. By determining your start-up costs, securing financing, creating a budget and financial forecast, establishing a system for tracking your financial performance, and hiring a financial advisor or accountant, you can set your quarry business up for long-term success.

Legal Requirements for Quarry Business

Starting a quarry business can be a lucrative venture, but it requires careful planning and adherence to legal requirements. In this section, we will discuss the legal requirements for starting a quarry business.

First and foremost, it is important to obtain the necessary permits and licenses from the government. This includes obtaining a mining permit from the Department of Mines and Geology in your state or country. The permit will outline the terms and conditions for mining in the area, including the size of the quarry, the type of equipment that can be used, and the amount of material that can be extracted.

In addition to the mining permit, you will also need to obtain a business license from your local government. This license will allow you to operate a business in the area and will ensure that you are complying with all local regulations.

Another important legal requirement for starting a quarry business is obtaining insurance. Quarrying can be a dangerous business, and accidents can happen. It is important to have insurance coverage to protect your business and your employees in case of an accident or injury.

You will also need to comply with environmental regulations. Quarrying can have a significant impact on the environment, including soil erosion, water pollution, and habitat destruction. It is important to take steps to minimize the impact of your quarry on the environment, such as implementing erosion control measures, using water recycling systems, and restoring habitats that have been impacted by quarrying.

In addition to complying with environmental regulations, you will also need to comply with health and safety regulations. Quarrying can be a dangerous business, and it is important to take steps to ensure the safety of your employees. This includes providing safety equipment, such as hard hats and safety glasses, and implementing safety procedures, such as regular safety inspections and training programs.

Finally, it is important to comply with labor laws. This includes providing fair wages and benefits to your employees, complying with minimum wage laws, and providing a safe and healthy work environment.

2.2 Company History

Durango Gravel, Inc. was formed in June, 2000.  The principals of the corporation are as follows:

Justin McCarty, Bayfield, Colorado – Owner of an excavating, landscaping, trucking and road grading business, Mr. McCarty has extensive experience in all phases of gravel and rock hauling, production and industry practices.  Mr. McCarty oversees operations of the corporation, and additionally, is a major consumer of plant products.  He also will be a consumer of asphalt products.

Chad Hughes, Durango, Colorado – Educated in natural resources management, and with extensive customer-service experience, Mr. Hughes focuses on developing public accounts and day-to-day operations.

In June, 2000 the corporation entered into a five-year lease agreement with Durango Gravel, a locally-owned gravel pit, giving the mineral rights for a five-year period, renewable for additional five-year periods.  With no advertising, marketing or crushing operations, the pit had been selling approximately 24,000 tons of gravel per year. In addition, options were obtained on a number of other parcels suitable for gravel pits.

The corporation invested approximately $700,000 in crushing and production equipment, and began operations on July 24, 2000.  In the five months of operation in year 2000, sales of 47,000 tons of material were recorded, mostly in road base material, with an average of 9,000 tons per month.

Our goal of penetrating the local market and taking advantage of the niche available was met, with a number of the major area contractors utilizing our products. Our customer service policies have met with near universal praise and acceptance.  We are developing a reputation as an honest, customer-service oriented company with superior products.

We have made substantial inroads into the institutional market, receiving gravel awards from municipalities, county, state and institutional entities. We had an operating profit for year 2000, despite an unanticipated additional $40,000 in equipment maintenance costs. We are poised to make more major inroads in the local market, with the spring and summer season for higher-profit screened rock fast approaching.

2.3 Company Locations and Facilities

Our pit is located in Durango, Colorado, the hub of the southwest Colorado Region and the major city in La Plata County.  The gravel pit has a primary and secondary crusher, generator, a number of loaders and excavators, and an electronic scale. 

Our scale is located approximately 1/4 mile from the highway – the shortest distance of any pit in the area.  The pit has a reserve of approximately 6,000,000 tons, by far the most in the area.  There are approximately 60 acres, a 150 sq. ft. scale house, tool trailer and pit office.  We are planning to add an additional 980 sq. ft. office this Spring.

Our corporate office is in Bayfield, Colorado – approximately 1 acre with 1,500 sq. ft. building, a 250 sq. ft. office, fence and storage area.

In addition, we plan to provide SX grade asphalt.

3.1 Product and Service Description

Royalty Costs are $2.00/Ton.  Manufacturing Costs are budgeted at $1.15/ton (a high figure).  Starred items have no manufacturing costs.

3.2 Competitive Comparison

Within our niche we have two significant competitors, Oldcastle (Four Corners) and LaFarge, which are both multi-national corporations headquartered outside the United States.  While these are both well-run companies, the local perception is that the money they earn goes directly overseas to their headquarters, as opposed to reinvesting their profits in the local economy.  In addition, many of their policies are set at the corporate level, resulting in less customer-service orientation then is the norm for this region.  A number of general contractors have started to utilize our products because of our ownership and policies. 

There is one other significant competitor, C & J Gravel.  Their reserves are limited, and offer a limited product line.  A number of their major users have started to utilize our products.  We expect more in the next year.

The way we compete is on the fact that we offer a larger selection of products, superior quality, and better customer service in terms of information on our product line.  We compete on our road base products in terms of price and availability, with fast delivery.

3.3 Sales Literature

This year we will be producing a company catalog, which would include asphalt products for targeted customers.

3.4 Fulfillment

We produce almost all of our product line at our site, with effectively no need to outsource any materials.

3.5 Technology

The technology for the production of gravel, gravel-related products and asphalt is well established.  We have developed effective and revolutionary marketing techniques for: convenient and time-saving loading of client trucks, and saving our institutional customers substantial amounts on their trucking expenses.

3.6 Future Products and Services

Our major addition this year will be asphalt, of which there is only one area producer at present.  A number of contractors have expressed interest in using our asphalt. 

Our long-range plan includes the opening of a second pit, in order to compete with producers in the more remote county areas.

Market Analysis Summary how to do a market analysis for your business plan.">

Asphalt products are required for road and driveway construction.  There are a significant number of roads and driveways which need to be paved each year.  There is at present only one area source for asphalt.  The high prices charged are a reflection of their monopoly.  Thus, there is a significant niche to be filled.

Gravel and rock-related products are a necessary ingredient to road building in the area.  There are a significantly large percentage of roads which need to be re-graveled each year.  In addition, there is a significant percentage of the population who have “retired” to the area, and are engaged in remodeling and making their new homes more accessible.

Also, the previously-described “window of opportunity” and the vulnerability of competitors to a customer-oriented operation are significant.  The average end-user is more concerned with customer service than with price. 

4.1 Market Segmentation

The major customer groups for Durango Gravel, Inc. are:

Municipalities, Schools and State Agencies . There are 12 municipalities in the immediate area who are using, or have needs for, our products and are in our target market.  They are able to utilize our products and the quantities we could manufacture.  As of this date, five are using us as one of their sources.

Larger Construction Companies . Many of the larger construction companies bid on state, county, city and large private construction projects,  We have bid on their gravel products and received 12 awards in the past six months.  We plan to bid on their asphalt needs as well this year.

Construction and Private Companies . The area is filled with smaller contractors who either purchase concrete, gravel and asphalt products directly, or arrange for them for a fee.  Many of the smaller contractors are not compensated to a significant degree, and have been eager to utilize a company such as ours.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

The population of the Four Corners Area has increased dramatically in the last 10 years and is still increasing, creating a greater demand for houses and roads.  A large percentage of this increase is attributed to both retirees, and those with substantial incomes who have purchased a second home.  Many people belonging to these groups have come from areas where good customer service is expected, and had been unhappy with the quality of customer service available before we began operations.

4.2.1 Market Needs

We understand that our target market needs more than just asphalt and gravel products. This need has grown out of increased population growth, the influx of a segmented customer base with significant disposable income, and the lack of change of our competitors to increased customer service requirements.

4.2.2 Market Trends

The market for asphalt, gravel and gravel-related products has grown at a steady rate for the past seven years, and shows no signs of abating. There are trends toward both more institutional and private road development and more private end-user interest in quality and customer service.

4.2.3 Market Growth

According to the three major suppliers in the region, as well as the La Plata Area Chamber of Commerce, the market in construction products has grown at 12% per year for the past three years, and is projected to increase.  More important is the increased need for road-related products.  With an almost 45% population increase in the county in the last 10 years, it is estimated that over 35% of existing county roads will require maintenance in the next four years. In addition, the extensive winters in the region are particularly difficult on gravel roads.  After two mild winters, this winter of normal snow will result in an increase in road maintenance.

4.3 Service Business Analysis

The last decade has shown a consolidation of suppliers by nationwide corporations. In numerous instances, these companies have policies which are set on a national level and are not “user-friendly” or responsive to the particular needs of this region.

The area asphalt market has but one producer at present, with predictable non-competitive pricing and customer service policies.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

The Durango area is a region where “Word-of-Mouth” endorsements are unusually important. Most private end-user customers seem to choose their provider based on quick delivery, friendliness and customer service. Business and construction-related users choose based on the establishment of a mutually beneficial and trustworthy relationship.

4.3.2 Main Competitors

Oldcastle (Four Corners Materials)

Strengths – long-term relationships, 30 years in business, long-term employees, decent quality.

Weaknesses –  product, price and credit flexibility, foreign ownership, product reserves, travel and loading time, monopolistic practices in regards to asphalt.

Strengths – established, local ownership.

Weaknesses – limited products, limited reserves, location.

4.3.3 Business Participants

The main sales volume in this area is now concentrated in the following companies:

Asphalt : Oldcastle (Four Corners Materials).

Gravel (Durango) : Oldcastle (Four Corners Materials), Durango Gravel, Inc., C & J, Sandco.

(Outlying Areas) :  LaFarge, Gosney & Sons, Hocker.

All of these other companies compete with similar limited products and unchanging company policies. Products are similar, costs are important, but customer service and perception of honesty is critical. Our company has increased its participation in the local gravel market by 400% in just five months.

5.4 Competitive Edge

Our competitive edge is our quality product, location, emphasis on customer service, and our long-term availability of products.

5.5 Sales Strategy

We need to sell our company, not just the products. We have to sell our service and support.

6.3 Personnel Plan

The following table shows the Personnel Plan for Durango Gravel.

Financial Plan investor-ready personnel plan .">

The most important element in the financial plan is the critical need for improving several of the key factors that impact cash flow:

• Inventory turnover is not a critical element to ensure profitability.

7.1 Important Assumptions

The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the following table. The key underlying assumptions are:

• We assume a slow-growth economy, without major recession.
• We assume, of course, that there are no unforeseen changes in technology to make products immediately obsolete.
• We assume access to equity capital and financing sufficient to maintain our financial plan as shown in the tables.

7.2 Key Financial Indicators

The most important factor to Durango Gravel, Inc.’s anticipated growth is the procurement of necessary financing for our asphalt plant. The following chart shows projected changes in key financial indicators:

• Inventory Turnover

7.3 Break-even Analysis

The following table and chart describe our estimated monthly break-even point. Based on our estimated sales and expenses, our monthly break-even point is shown below.

7.4 Projected Profit and Loss

We expect to close year 2001 with excellent sales and very respectable profits.

7.5 Projected Cash Flow

The cash flow depends on assumptions for inventory turnover, payment days, and accounts receivable management. Our projected 60-day collection days is critical, and it is also reasonable. We need $110,000 in new financing (current borrowing and additional investment) in March to get through a cash flow dip as we build up for mid-year sales.

7.6 Projected Balance Sheet

The Projected Balance Sheet is quite positive. We do not project any real trouble meeting our debt obligations–as long as we can achieve our specific objectives.

7.7 Business Ratios

The table follows with our main business ratios. We do intend to improve gross margin and collection days. Industry profile ratios based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 1442, Construction Sand and Gravel, are shown for comparison.

An important tip to consider when working to repair your credit is to try to do it yourself without the assistance of a company. This is important because you will have a higher sense of satisfaction, your money will be allocated as you determine, and you eliminate the risk of being scammed.

An important tip to consider when working to repair your credit is to never use the option to skip a month's payment without penalty. This is important because you should always pay at least the minimum balance, due to the amount of interest that the company will still earn from you.

If you use an online credit repair service, be sure to take the time to read all of the fine print that is in the agreement. Do not just skim any agreement just to get through the process or you may find that you have a pile of fees added up when you finalize the process.

While patience is an important part of the credit repair process, you should always follow up on letters you send, no matter who the recipient is. It might be hard to believe but some credit bureaus and debt collectors use the ostrich's strategy (i.e. burying their heads in the sand) to deal with debtor's letters. Send more letters after unanswered ones until you get a reply.

If you are transferring large balances from one card to another - to avoid hurting your credit score and avoid interest charges - be sure to close each previous card as you pay it off. Having numerous open lines of credit will hurt your score and negate any benefit you might receive from transferring the balances.

If you are trying to repair your credit and you are filing a dispute about an incorrect reporting item, be sure to include as much information as possible in your dispute. The more information the credit reporting agency has on your dispute, the faster it can be dealt with and the sooner your credit score will increase.

Create a comprehensive budget plan to pay back your debts. First, cut back on spending. Second, negotiate with your creditors for lower monthly payment installments. Third, use the extra money to start paying off your other debts, starting with the most pressing. When your debts are reduced, your credit score improves.

Do not ignore credit problems. They will not go away. Approach credit repair goals with a can- do attitude. You may have to give up some luxury items along the way, but a high cost cell phone plan and designer boots are worth far less than a good credit rating.

Get out the scissors, and cut up some of that plastic. If you have a lot of credit cards, limit yourself to one or two from now on. Having too much credit can actually be frowned upon by creditors and lower your credit score, especially if you use it all.

To establish a good history of credit usage, use a credit card instead of cash to make every day purchases like gas and groceries. It will be extremely important, though, to pay it off every month so that you don't create more debt for yourself. Use the card only as a means of building up your credit score, not for acquiring things you can live without.

Pay all your bills on time, every time they are due. Even if you miss a payment by a few days, this can be reported to one of the credit bureaus and can negatively affect your credit. Try everything you can to avoid your accounts going to collections because this is very negative on your credit report too.

To improve your credit rating going forward, pay attention to the quality of your creditors. This doesn't impact your credit as much as other factors, but having credit accounts with banks and auto manufacturers is better for your credit score than having credit accounts with general lenders like finance companies. You can often identify a general lender by the fact that it has "Finance" or "Banc" in its name.

Getting in touch with your creditors as soon as you run into trouble can actually help with your credit history. Avoid the temptation to try to hide from your creditors. They're not going to go away. However, many creditors will be willing to work out an affordable payment schedule if you actually talk to them.

Don't file bankruptcy just to try to get rid of debt. Some debts are not removed with bankruptcy. Student loans are one loan that bankruptcy will not remove. These loans will continue to charge you interest until they are paid off. It may be a better decision to talk to the debt collector about settling debts.

It is very important to stay on top of your credit situation. Monitoring your credit report is essential in maintaining a good credit standing. What you need to do is set yourself up with a credit alert service. This service will notify you whenever something new is reported on your credit report.

A good step in credit repair is to check your credit score yourself. Do not rely on certain companies to check your score for you. Instead, you should call each of the three credit reporting bureaus and request a copy of your credit report from them. Try to do this once a quarter to keep up on how your repair efforts are going.

A manager can lose A lot of money before even suspecting that embezzlement may be going on. That is because by definition that this offense is committed by someone in a position of trust. The reduction may involve a small amount taken by an employee by the cash register. Or a considerable sum stolen via an elaborate plot of juggling the books. Simple controls Built to the accounting system may often forestall any practices on your operation. In any circumstance, the correct internal controls may help document incriminating evidence, and it is difficult to estimate your loss for insurance purposes or even to prove that it caused a crime. This preventing Embezzlement Guide offers hints on how you can thwart unethical practices. Additionally, it discusses what you should do if it seems that one of your workers has embezzled out of your company. You may not Have has any experience with embezzlers. But many owner-managers have. Regular there are newspaper stories on how a unethical worker has managed to divert company funds for his or her own pocket. It occurs Frequently enough to make it worthwhile to give the subject some thought and to examine your record-keeping and auditing procedures to be sure there are no tempting loopholes. Embezzlement is"the Fraudulent appropriation of property by a individual to whom it has been entrusted." That is what Makes this offense different from ordinary theft or larceny. The embezzler is someone in your company whom you are interested. You Want to Have a system of internal control to protect money and other property subject to embezzlement. Obviously, no one wants to run a business like an armed camp. But in case you have a built-in control system, administer it closely, and audit it regularly, you might prevent attempts of embezzlement. At any rate, you will have the capacity to collect evidence that may introduce a crime. Embezzlers Usually believe they are clever - smarter than the owner-manager and cunning enough to beat the machine. Before you set about to outwit them, it Is a Great idea to know a Number of their approaches The embezzler Is usually a reliable employee who is taking advantage of the company's confidence. Oftentimes the embezzler has been given more power than the position requires. Methods of embezzling are limited only by creativity. In the simplest Situation, cash is received and the employee merely pockets it without making a record of this transaction. A theft of the type is difficult to prevent or detect whether the trade is a cash sale without a subsequent entry is necessary in receipt or accounts receivable records. To reduce temptation, prenumbered revenue bills or cash receipts should be used for all sales irrespective of the amount. Spot checks and other monitoring procedures may also help guarantee you that money sales are now being recorded. A somewhat more Complex kind of embezzlement is called lapping. This entails the temporary withholding of receipts for example payments on accounts receivable. Lapping is a continuing scheme which generally begins with a small amount but can encounter thousands of dollars until it's detected. For instance, take a worker who opens mail or receives cash and checks as payment on accounts that are open. The worker holds out a 100 dollar money payment made by client"A" on March 1. To avoid arousing suspicion on"A's" part, $100 is then taken from a $200 payment made by customer"B" on March 4. This is sent on, together with the necessary documentation, for processing and crediting to the account of"A." The embezzler pockets the remaining $100, which raises the deficit to $200. As this "borrowing" procedure goes on, the worker makes away with increasingly larger amounts of money involving more and more accounts. A fraud of this sort can run on for several years. Of course, it demands detailed record-keeping from the embezzler so as to keep track of the deficit and move it from 1 account to another to avoid suspicion. Any sign that a worker is maintaining personal records of business transactions outside your regular books of account should be looked into. Occasionally an Embezzler who's carrying on a lapping scheme also includes access to accounts receivable records and statements. In cases like this, he or she is in a position to change the statements mailed out to customers. Hence the fraud may continue undetected during a lengthy time period, until something unusual happens. A customer complaint may spotlight the circumstance. Or the issue might be surfaced through audit processes like confirmation of accounts receivable. 1 embezzler who also handled the client complaints managed to avoid detection for several decades. The quantity of deficit attained such proportions and covered so many reports that he dared not take a holiday. He even ate lunch at his desk lest some other worker get a question from a customer about a discrepancy in a statement. The owner-manager for whom he labored admired his diligence and loyalty. Fellow workers marveled his apparent frugality enable him to like a fairly large standard of living. But the inevitable finally happened. This employee was hospitalized with a severe ailment, and in his absence his deceptive plot came into light. One reason many companies require regular vacations would be to maintain some"indispensable man" from interfering with company funds illegally. Sometimes Business bank accounts are utilized for check-kiting. In reality, losses from a big check-kiting schemes have been good enough to cause a company to go broke. In the usual Strategy, the check-kiter has to be in the place to write checks on and make Deposits in a few bank accounts. One account could be the embezzler's Private account and another a business checking account. If the embezzler Has an accomplice in another business, two business accounts may be used. If Your company has more than one checking accounts at several banks, these Accounts might be utilized to perform the fraud.

Complete Mining Quarry Ltd. is incorporated in Nigeria in 2004 by a group of young entrepreneurs.  It however started operation in 2016 after obtaining its mining license from the Mining Cadastral office, in Abuja.

Our Competition

This is a start-up business. Venturing into the sand, gravel, and clay quarry excavating business is a big challenge. This is because this industry is already saturated with big players. In fact, many construction companies in Nigeria mine their own gravel, sand, and clays for their construction uses. Therefore, the influence of these multinational companies in this business is a big challenge. However, our research shows that these big players only produce for their own usage. 

Therefore, they are unable to meet up with the demand from the domestic and industrial sectors of the economy. In fact, the micro sector of the economy is not adequately catered for. More so are the cottage industries and homesteads that are in the rural communities.  Therefore, our major clientele is going to come from this section of Nigeria’s economy.  In fact, this is why this Complete Mining Quarry Ltd. quarry is situated in Uyo. In fact, our expansion program will see us opening more mining outlets in other parts of Akwa Ibom State.

The Waterberg is punted as South Africa’s next coal frontier by industry and government. It has already seen two rounds of boom and bust driven by mega projects. The first was in the 1980s when the original Grootegeluk mine and the very large Matimba power station were constructed. The second boom kicked off in 2007 with a major expansion of Grootegeluk, to create one of the largest open cast mines in the world, and the construction of Medupi – advertised by Eskom as the fourth biggest power station in the world. It is also the biggest threat to Eskom’s future and to the national economy. These mega projects have reshaped the Waterberg. The first turned the remote apartheid village of Ellisras into a town, now called Lephalale, of fragmented parts. The second initiated a dream of creating South Africa’s ‘first democratic city’. But the boom tore into the local social fabric, benefitting the rich at the cost of the poor and entrenching brutally unequal gender relations. The bust is now compounding the ill effects. Meanwhile, the Mokolo River has been irreversibly damaged and the air is heavily polluted. A third boom is now hoped for. The coal bosses dream of ripping out hundreds of square kilometres of the delicate bushveld while government aims to “unlock the mineral wealth of the Waterberg” by delivering Gauteng’s sewer water to this arid area and massively expanding the coal line from Lephalale to the Highveld and on to Richards Bay for export. For this, they must ignore air and water pollution; pretend that climate change is small change; and maintain ignorance of the impacts on people. This report argues that coal’s next frontier looks more like coal’s last ditch. It is facing stiff resistance on a battlefield for our energy future and its own positions are crumbling. Another energy future is necessary as a matter of survival and requires a rapid phase out of coal and a just transition to people’s power and a more equal society.

How To Start A Sand & Gravel Business Philippines

There are many great businesses to start in the Philippines. However, how to start a sand and gravel business in the Philippines is a growing question, so today, we will be addressing this question by exploring the process of how to start a sand gravel business in the Philippines, and we will also be diving into how to start a quarry business in the Philippines for complete beginners.

Table of Contents

How To Start A Sand And Gravel Business In The Philippines

1. research the industry and wider market.

The first step for any successful business in the Philippines is full market research, including the industry and the wider markets. Previously we have explored the process of how to conduct market research for small businesses in the Philippines , and I have added the link above for your reference. Nevertheless, here are some key points to consider.

• Are There Gaps Within The Market?
• Can Government Policy Impact The Gravel And Market Business In The Philippines?
• Is The Industry Growing, Declining, Or Stabilising, And Why?
• What Are The Laws That Can Affect The Market?
• What Is The Demand For Sand, Gravel, And Other Materials?
• What Services And Products Are Currently Being Offered In This Industry?

These are a few basic questions; however, asking these simple but useful questions can help you make better decisions during the planning stages of starting a gravel and sand business in the Philippines. Once market research has been completed, the next stage is to get your research and ideas on paper and create a business plan.

2. Create A Business Plan And Financial Statement

Some small businesses in the Philippines cost a lot of money to start but have low maintenance costs; other businesses can be started very cheaply but have higher maintenance costs. Creating a business plan and financial statement will allow you to understand the full costs of starting a sand and gravel business / the full costs of starting a quarry business in the Philippines.

Filipino Wealth has a free downloadable business plan and financial statement available to readers. However, below are the leading questions asked when starting a gravel business in the Philippines.

• How And When Will My Business Make Money, And What Will The Profit Be?
• Is This A Good Business For Me And My Experience?
• What Are The Income Opportunities For The Sand And Gravel Business In The Philippines?
• What Are The Opportunities And Threats To Your Business?
• What Are The Reasons This Business Will Fail?
• What Areas Of The Sand, Gravel/Quarry Market Am I Not Confident In?
• What Will It Take For This Business To Succeed?
• Who Are The Competition, And What Are Their Strengths And Weaknesses?

When creating a business plan for a quarry business in the Philippines, it’s always a good idea to be open and honest. Gaps in knowledge are not to be seen negatively. On the contrary, highlighting your inexperience can save you a lot of time and money in the long run. Once you have your business plan, it is time to head back to research, but this time it’s on law and regulation.

3. Research Industry Licences And Business Law

There is a great deal of law that you may wish to investigate when starting a sand and gravel business in the Philippines. Today we will explore licenses and laws that cover this topic. However, as this industry is continuously changing, we recommend speaking to the Department of Environment & Natural Resources and other government entities to ensure safe, legal practices.

Republic act no. 7942 – Section 46 covers the permit for commercial sand and gravel. And states, “The provincial governor may grant any qualified person a permit to extract and remove sand and gravel or other loose or unconsolidated materials which are used in their natural state, without undergoing processing from an area of not more than five hectares and in such quantities as may be specified in the permit”.

Executive order no. 224 also covers “rationalizing the extraction and disposition of sand and gravel/lahar deposits in the provinces of Pampanga, Tarlac, and Zambales”. DENR Administrative Order No. 2000-25 also covers material law and other similar topics such as mining. 

When it comes to licenses, businesses in the Philippines will need an existing environmental Compliance Certificate issued by the Department of Environment & Natural Resources. You will need to apply via the industrial sand and gravel application (IPA-SAG) to gain this requirement. The official application website states that anyone qualified may apply for an industrial sand and gravel permit for areas covering more than 5 hectares but not exceeding 20 hectares.

Additionally, licenses and requirements may differ from area to area. DTI has recently launched a free mentoring program . If you are having difficulty at this stage, you may find using a free service such as this useful in starting a sand and gravel business in the Philippines. 

4. Find The Suppliers / Quarry Businesses

This stage is optional. This is because businesses operate differently, and therefore there may be different stages depending on what type of business you plan to manage.

For example, if you are looking to sell the sand and gravel without getting involved in the extraction and quarry process, the next stage is to find suppliers. However, if you want to start a quarry business in the Philippines, you may want to head to the next stage, where we will cover quarry businesses in the Philippines.

5. Create Your Sales Channels And Network Your Business

One of the most important parts of a successful business is its sales. So when setting up a sand and quarry business, it’s time to create your sales channels, network with other businesses in the industry, and start earning income from your new business.

Networking is extremely important in the Philippines. The reality of business is that it’s not always what you know but who you know, especially in the gravel and sand business. However, there are many other ways to build a business, including a website and social media.

From our research looking through hundreds of different sand and gravel businesses in the Philippines, it’s clear that many businesses have been in this industry for many years; however, when it comes to technology (including suitable websites and active social media), they fall behind leading to opportunities for tech-savvy entrepreneurs.

Another option for entrepreneurs if you are not looking to start a quarry business in the Philippines is to open a construction e-Commerce store. Const.PH is a great example of how this type of business can be managed successfully.  

How To Start A Quarry Business In The Philippines

Starting a quarry business in the Philippines is similar to starting a sand and gravel business. Still, it has some big differences. One of those differences is the laws and requirements, which are important to investigate when starting any new business.

Earlier on, we mentioned Republic Act No. 7942. We focused on Section 42, but if you are opening a quarry business in the Philippines, this full Republic act is something you may wish to read. It covers some important quarry business points, including local laws and requirements . 

Additionally, business owners will need to apply for a permit from the mining regulator board . It’s highly recommended to seek assistance when opening this type of business as illegal extraction and removal of materials can come with a financial fine or, in serious cases, imprisonment. 

One of the main areas for consideration when opening a quarry business is the business’s cost and return on investment. Hiring or purchasing machinery is essential but can be costly. In some cases, it can take several months or years before you start to see a return on investment, which entrepreneurs need to consider.

How Much Does A Sand, Gravel, Or Quarry Business Cost To Start?

When starting a sand gravel or quarry business in the Philippines, a mixture of costs will impact the total cost of starting the business.

If you start a simple buy and sell business, your cost will be minimal. You will not need to pay or hire machinery. However, if you want to open up a quarry business, you need to hire or purchase pieces of machinery such as grinders and crushers. Each vehicle has different capacities/load space, which can impact the cost of starting this type of business.

From research, we found that hiring a digger/excavator/crusher and so on costs anywhere between 1000 – 3000 pesos per day per vehicle. So, for example purposes, the cost is 2000 pesos per vehicle. Therefore, if we opened up a small operation including 3 vehicles for 30 days, the cost would be at least 180,000 pesos.

This is for example purposes only. The total cost will depend on the size and type of business you are planning to open.

What Is The Profit Of A Sand, Gravel, Or Quarry Business In The Philippines?

Even though this may not be the most glamorous of businesses in the Philippines, the sand and gravel business and the quarry business can be profitable; however, this will depend on many factors, including the current market value, supply, and demand.

If you are looking to start a larger business or a small quarry business in the Philippines, you will need to pay for machinery equipment and other startup costs that can quickly add up. Therefore the return on investment may take some time.

When looking at the profit of a sand and gravel business in the Philippines, another consideration is the product’s price. We found that, on average , 1 cubic meter of sand costs 750 – 1200 pesos from research. Gravel ranged from 400 – to 750 pesos per cubic meter. The costs differ depending on the types of gravel and sand – different grades have different prices. Prices exclude delivery.

How to do a MoSCoW Analysis and prioritise requirements in a complex environment?

How to do a MoSCoW Analysis and prioritise requirements effectively in a complex environment?

As a Business Analyst, the question of how to prioritise requirements may seem like an easy question to answer but it can also be wrought with a variety of complications and interesting complexities. Once you have overcome these potential complexities which can come with requirements prioritisation, the most relevant Business Analysis technique to apply is what is known as the MoSCoW Analysis.

This blog article will cover both how to apply the MoSCoW Analysis for requirements prioritisation as well as the considerations and complexities for a Business Analyst to understand about their environment before attempting to prioritise requirements.

So let’s start by talking about some of these complexities that can face a Business Analyst when it comes to requirements prioritisation.

#1: Different perspectives on what is important

#2: Lack of leadership

This factor walks hand in hand with the previous factor (and is most likely the cause of it!) where people have different perspectives on what takes priority. A lack of leadership in the project or initiative team causes confusion around what is important and this is when people will end up providing their own perspective around priorities rather than following business priorities or guidelines. This causes problems in various ways and can put the Business Analyst in a very awkward position. Sometimes this lack of leadership can mean that a stronger or more senior stakeholder might get the requirements prioritised according to his/her team’s preferences due to his/her position and level of influence in the organisation rather than it being the true priorities for the good of the organisation. This leads to requirement priorities which is not necessarily being implemented in the most valuable or efficient manner and consequently reflects badly on the project as a whole.

It is imperative for a Business Analyst to receive clear direction from their project manager or project steering committee about what are the clear business objectives (with their relative priorities outlined) that requirements must deliver against so that the Business Analyst can use these business objective priorities to guide the conversations when requirement prioritisation activities take place.

#3: Not prioritising requirements

In some organisations or projects there is simply no formal and explicit effort undertaken to prioritise requirements at all. This doesn’t mean requirements are not in some sort of priority, it simply means that the requirements are not prioritised in a structured and collaborative way. This type of approach can cause problems when expectations are not managed about what will be delivered by when but it can also be that prioritising the requirements are very clear cut in a particular type of project and hence this informal way works in those circumstances. So although the Business Analyst must be very careful when choosing to not formally go through a requirements prioritisation activity, it can be the most logical and suitable approach for certain types of projects.

#4: Priority levels are not well defined

The last complexity or consideration for the Business Analyst to pay careful attention to before embarking on requirements prioritisation activities are simply the definition of the priority levels and what each priority means. Many organisations have adopted a method or set of priority levels which they are used to using without it necessarily being the most effective way to prioritise.

So now that we have discussed some of the common complexities in projects and organisations that make requirements prioritisation somewhat tricky for the Business Analyst lets now look at the MoSCoW Analysis technique and how best it can be applied.

The MoSCoW Analysis Technique

The MoSCoW Analysis is a very common and effective requirements prioritisation technique because it allows not only for three clear priority levels but also covers the requirements that will end up not being included in the currently delivery or project at all. This works very well because it allows people to explicitly agree the different priorities including the requirements, which will be excluded or referred to a future release.

Let’s have a look at how this prioritization technique works:

MoSCoW is an acronym.

M = Must ‘Must’ level requirements are those requirements which will definitely be included to be delivered. There is no negotiation around whether they will be delivered and are considered mandatory requirements.

S = Should ‘Should’ level requirements are those requirements which should be included if at all possible. If the project have capacity and time and it will not jeopardise any of the “Must” requirements, then these requirements should be delivered or included in whatever the prioritisation is done for.

C = Could The ‘Could’ level requirements are the requirements which could be included if it doesn’t have any impact on any of the ‘Should’ or ‘Must’ requirements.

W = Won’t The ‘Won’t’ level requirements tend to be the requirements which will not be included to be delivered or implemented this time but are requirements that would be favoured for a future delivery or implementation.

In Conclusion

As a final point to make, it is important that although the Business Analyst uses a best practice requirements technique , the outlined complexities listed here should be addressed as much as possible prior to embarking on a requirements prioritization activity to ensure a successful and accurate outcome.

Moscow City is a multifunctional complex in the west of Moscow, which has come to represent the booming business of Russia’s capital. Its skyscrapers enrich Moscow’s skyline, contrasting the medieval cupolas and Stalinist high-rises. Visitors to Moscow City can enjoy entertainment high in the sky, as the complex is home not just to offices, but to restaurants, cinemas, viewing platforms, and museums.

History of Moscow City

Moscow City was first conceived in 1991 by honoured Soviet architect Boris Tkhor, who proposed to construct a business center in Moscow. It would be complete with gleaming skyscrapers rivalling those of New York and London, to reflect the new life and growing ambitions of post-Soviet Russia.

The chosen site was a stone quarry and disused industrial zone in western Moscow, in between the Third Ring Road and Moskva River. Initially, the territory was divided into 20 sections arranged in a horseshoe shape around a central zone. The skyscrapers would increase in height as they spiralled around the central section, with shorter structures built on the waterfront to give the taller buildings behind a view of the river. 

Architect Gennady Sirota, who contributed to iconic projects such as the Olympic Sports Complex on Prospekt Mira, was selected as the chief architect, and many other world-famous architects were attracted to Moscow to realise their visions in Moscow City.

What can you see and do at Moscow City?

Where Moscow’s cityscape was once dominated by Stalin’s Seven Sisters skyscrapers , this is no more. Moscow City is home to eight of Russia’s ten tallest buildings, six of which exceed 300 metres in height. More buildings are still under construction there today, including the One Tower (which will be Europe’s second-tallest building). Once completed, Moscow City will comprise more than 20 innovative structures.

Each of Moscow City’s skyscrapers was designed by its own architect, lending the cluster of skyscrapers a unique appearance. Aside from being a site of architectural wonder, Moscow City is a place for leisure and entertainment with over 100 cafes and restaurants, exhibition spaces, cinemas, viewing platforms, and more.

Moscow-City – The Moscow International Business Center

• 3 years ago

Moscow-City is an iconic location for life and work in Russia’s capital. Enormous skyscrapers, business centers, the best restaurants and retail spaces – all this is concentrated in one place. The ultramodern Moscow-City towers are truly striking in their outward appearance, and the layout of the apartments inside and the fantastic views that can be seen from the higher floors are nothing short of impressive.

This skyscraper compound, often referred to as Moskva-City, is the Russian take on Manhattan, where businessmen strike multi-million dollar deals daily while ordinary life goes on next door. Its state of the art spaces offer the ultimate convenience. The infrastructure of this business district is so well-developed that anyone can find something interesting for themselves here: from residential apartments to boutiques, clubs, exhibitions and more.

When the foundations for the Moscow-City skyscrapers were laid, a special kind of concrete was used, the properties of which are amplified by many times compared to standard concrete. Even in the event of a plane crashing into one of the buildings, the structural integrity of the towers will be preserved.

The architects of the Moscow-City Business Center have created a unique locality that has integrated into itself the hub of the capital’s business life and a whole ensemble of historical monuments. Anyone can admire the beauty of these skyscrapers from within or without the compound. There are also a number of apartments for sale or rent available in the MIBC itself. But first, let’s have a look at some more interesting facts about the financial core of Russia’s capital.

How It All Began

The history of Moscow-City goes all the way back to 1992. The government of Moscow at the time wanted to bring into existence its own skyscrapers like the ones in London or New York. And the idea caught on. In 1992 the project for the construction of the huge “Moscow-City” MIBC compound was enthusiastically approved, kick-starting the painstaking preparatory works. The original intention was that the skyscrapers would only house office space. However, as time went on, the towers began to welcome in ordinary residents who wanted to live on the territory of this business and finance hub.

Moscow-City is undoubtedly a city within a city. Its grandeur is mind-boggling. It is perfect in every way: from location to infrastructure. And today, anyone can get a feel of the atmosphere of the “capital city” of Russia’s business world – many of the apartments in Moscow-City are available for rent. Any citizen of Russia and even nationals of other countries can make use of these offers.

What It’s Like in 2021

Today Moscow-City is not just a magnificent and fascinating sight, but also a real hub for the work, life and leisure of thousands. Its infrastructure is organized in such a way that there is no need to leave the territory of the “city within a city” at all. This business district contains everything one may need for work and recreation. And if one does decide to venture out into the larger metropolis, the MIBC’s three subway stations make this remarkably simple to do.

Moscow-City stands on the Presnenskaya Embankment . Each of the buildings in the district has a name, which simplifies its identification. Some of the buildings form complexes that are united under one name, such as the Neva Towers and the Naberezhnaya Tower complex of two skyscrapers and one high rise. There are a total of 16 towers in the MIBC, of which the most popular are:

• Moscow-City Central Core;
• Tower 2000;
• Evolution Tower;
• Imperia Tower;
• City of Capitals (Moscow Tower and St. Petersburg Tower);
• Steel Peak Tower;
• Federation Tower;
• Mercury City Tower;
• OKO Tower Complex.

This is the most complex building within the MIBC compound. Its total floor area is a whopping 1 476 378 sqft (450 000 m²). It consists of two massive parts, each of which boasts a truly impressive infrastructure. The underground part includes 3 Moscow Metro stations, a parking lot for automobiles and a shopping mall. The aboveground part houses a concert hall and a hotel.

Tower 2000 is a skyscraper having 34 stories. Its total floor area is 200 318 sqft (61 057 m²), most of which is office space.

This elegant structure is 836 feet (255 m) high – that’s a whole 54 stories! The total floor area here is 554 462 sqft (169 000 m²). The Evolution Tower’s key feature is that it has its own Wedding Hall. This skyscraper houses large office spaces, a parking lot and several restaurants.

Imperia Tower

MIBC’s Imperia Tower is the undeniable focal point of the MIBC’s business life. Its height is 784 feet (239 m), which means one can hold conferences and resolve key business matters on the 59 th floor! And that really is amazing! The tower has everything: offices, hotels, restaurants and parking lots. But if you want a truly unforgettable experience, visit the viewing platform! It is situated on the 58 th floor and a simply astounding view of Moscow can be seen from it.

Moscow Tower and St. Petersburg Tower

The Moscow and St. Petersburg Towers are the chief representatives of the MIBC. The Moscow Tower has 76 stories and is 990 feet (302 m) high, while the St. Petersburg Tower has 65 stories and stands 843 feet (257 m) tall. Both towers offer fantastic views of the capital city.

Most of the floors of these two skyscrapers are taken up by luxurious sky apartments. There are also several recreational and entertainment centers, office spaces, restaurants, etc.

Steel Peak Tower

Also known as the Eurasia Tower of Moscow-City, this supertall skyscraper has a total of 680 912 sqft (207 542 m²) of floor space. Most of this is taken up by offices, and the rest – by residential quarters (around 65 616 sqft or 20 000 m²). The tower also houses a number of the greatest restaurants, studios and shopping centers.

Federation Tower

The Federation Tower is a complex of two skyscrapers, known as Tower East and Tower West. Tower East is the second highest building in Europe (the first is a skyscraper recently erected in the city of St. Petersburg). Its height is a colossal 1 223 feet (373 m) and that makes 95 stories! Tower West, on the other hand, is noticeably shorter at 794 feet (242 m).

The Federation Tower is a multifunctional complex.

Mercury City Tower

The Mercury City Tower skyscraper is widely known as one of the tallest buildings in Europe. Its height is 1 112 feet (339 m) and it has 75 stories. It is multifunctional by concept, holding within its walls shopping centers, offices and all kinds of other spaces. It is also possible to rent apartments here.

OKO Tower Complex

The OKO Tower Complex consists of two towers – the North Tower (49 stories and 803 ft or 245 m in height) and the South Tower (85 stories and 1 155 ft or 352 m in height).

Each of the MIBC’s tower complexes has its own recreational and entertainment areas, restaurants and parking lots. The top floors of most of these buildings contain luxurious fully-furnished apartments. At night, the towers shine with bright lights, while inside them the panoramic windows reveal astounding views of Moscow. This breathtaking view of the capital of Russia is why visiting Moscow-City is a must!

What Not to Miss

There are many interesting landmarks within the Moscow-City compound, but three of them are truly deserving of special attention:

• The Afimall City Shopping Center;
• The Bagration Bridge with two galleries and a shopping arcade;
• The Expocentre Fairgrounds.

Afimall City Shopping Center

The Afimall City Shopping and Entertainment Center is located in Moscow-City’s Central Core. It is divided into 4 zones, each with its own theme – one for every season of the year. The shopping center houses the biggest indoor fountain found worldwide. The height of this watery wonder is 118 feet or 36 meters.

The shopping and entertainment center contains everything one might expect from one of the largest centers of its kind:

• Retail brand stores;
• Exhibitions;
• Game rooms;
• and Restaurants.

The main recreational space is roofed with a giant transparent dome, which is an impressive sight to behold.

Bagration Bridge

Bagration Bridge with its upper and lower galleries has a shopping center all of its own and was the first structure to be built as part of the Moscow-City business district. Its lower gallery is a shopping arcade and its upper gallery is an open-air viewing platform with a spectacular view of the MIBC and the Moskva River. The hall of the bridge houses the 23 foot tall sculpture called “Tree of Life”. Having gone through the bridge via either one of its two galleries, a pedestrian would find themselves standing right on the Kutuzovsky Prospekt.

Expocentre Fairgrounds

The Expocentre Fairgrounds exhibition venue is located at the very heart of the capital. The first exhibition held at the Expocentre happened all the way back in 1959, much earlier than the MIBC was erected. Today it is the venue of many interesting events.

Exhibitions with very diverse themes are regularly held at this complex. An up-to-date schedule can be found on the official webpage of the Expocentre. The events can be free or fixed-price entry, depending on their type.

Renting and Buying Real Estate in Moscow-City

Moscow-City is not only a work and business hub, but also a residential neighborhood. Any citizen of Russia can rent or buy apartments or elite sky lounges here. The variety of residential real estate available inside the skyscrapers is impressive, including options for any pocket. The following buildings in the MIBC contain residential blocks:

This skyscraper has a mirror glass façade which reflects the passing clouds. Just imagine how beautiful that looks! Anyone can buy an apartment in the Federation Tower. Such properties are not only a good investment, but also a mark of prestige. The average price of residential real estate here is 45 million rubles for an apartment with a total floor area of 334 sqft (102 m²). The average price of a square meter (3.28 square feet) is in the range of 650 to 700 thousand rubles. There are two- and three-room apartments available in the Federation Tower, each with its own loggia. As for rent, the minimum price of one month’s stay in a three-room apartment in this skyscraper is 300 000 rubles per month.

The Mercury City Tower skyscraper welcomes citizens from all parts of Russia. This building is no less tall than the world-famous Dubai skyscrapers. Living in its apartments is a delight. The minimum cost of an apartment in the Mercury City Tower is 75 million rubles. The average price of a square meter (3.28 square feet) is 800 thousand rubles. And for those looking for a lower price point, some of the properties are also available for rent – in this case you will pay a minimum of 250 thousand rubles per month.

The Imperia Tower is a key cluster of interesting offers. The best options for buying and renting apartments within the MIBC can all be found in this skyscraper. The lowest price of a residential apartment here is 40 million rubles. A square meter (3.28 square feet) in a luxurious apartment in the Imperia Tower currently costs 600 thousand rubles, while the price range of the listings available for rent in this skyscraper is from 350 thousand all the way up to 1 million rubles per month.

This complex is considered to be especially prestigious. The prices of apartments here start from 50 million rubles, while the minimum cost of renting is 400 thousand rubles per month.

Please note! The price of real estate available for purchase or rent depends on: the tower, the floor, the total floor area, the furnishings and/or interior design, and other factors.

The key advantages of buying/purchasing real estate in Moscow-City are:

• Favorable location;

Sample Quarry Business Plan

Quarry business plan sample.

Quarries play a huge role in the construction industry. Therefore, the potentials are enormous. In view of this fact, we have made this quarry Business Plan.

This will give the reader useful tips when drafting a plan for a quarry business.

In addition to that, we’ve made sure that the article is simplified. In other words, this sample plan is comprehensive enough to be followed. You should replicate it’s simplicity too!

Here is a sample business plan for starting a limestone, marble or granite quarry.

– Executive Summary

Romboldt Quarries is a quarry business to be located in the mountainous region of Kentucky. We have taken advantage of the Kentucky’s booming construction industry. As a result, this has influenced our choice of location. At Romboldt Quarries, we will be providing quarry services in addition to other products which will be mentioned shortly.

These products and services are in high demand.

We also have the advantage of experience. We have carefully chosen a crop of experts with vast skills. Such skills consist of technical as well as adminstrative. A greater part of our workforce have been players in the quarry industry.

Thus, this places us at advantage.

• Products and Services

Most of the time, people assume quarries are restricted to excavation. However, there are several other services and products we offer. At Romboldt Quarries, we our services includes quarrying, rockeries, crazy paving, paving slabs and monumental stones. Additional services include free quotations, templating, stone sawing, letter cutting and masonry. Several other services will be introduced on a need basis.

The abovementioned services will be professionally handled. We have no doubt about the quality of our services because we have skillful, trained and experienced professionals.

• Our Mission

We are on a mission to establish a reputable quarrying company. Hence, our goal is to be known for quality. This will be visible in all areas of our operations. Such areas will include our customer services, marketing, staff welfare and other areas.

There are major players in the quarrying industry. But we are in in it to make it more competitive. Hence, our sights are set on breaking into the top tier. Breaking into the top league will be achieved with a decade. We are also interested in working the talk.

Operating a quarry is capital intensive. This is because heavy machinery take up a good chunk of the costs. Running costs are additional expenses incurred during operations. Therefore the financial implications are enormous. We seek to raise the sum of $1,500,000.00. This sum will be raising solely from loans. We have a preference for low interest loans. About 80% of this sum will be spent on equipment purchase. However, 20% will be channeled into operational costs.

• SWOT Analysis

This is a part of our planning phase we cannot overlook. Hence, we have done a SWOT test. This is an analysis of our strength, weakness, opportunities and threats.

 i. Strength

Our strength as a company is founded in our expertise and experience. This counts for much considering the complexities involved. Consequently, we’ve seen tremendous opportunities for improvement. Although a lot has improved, there’s still room for improvement. This is why we are upbeat in our resolve to offer enhanced services.

This is a critical role we intend to play.

  ii. Weakness

Weakness is often misconstrued with failure. However, that isn’t the case. At Romboldt Quarries, we have identified our weaknessses to include our size and capacity. However, this is only temporal in other words, we intend to enhance our capacity within the shortest time possible. The more the capacity, the higher the number of clients we can serve. There is no gain saying that we are well poised to achieve our targets.

   iii. Opportunities

We are in business for the opportunities. Hence our determination to do all it takes within legal boundaries to promote our business. The boom in the construction industry has become our major motivation. Also, this doesn’t seem short-lived. Therefore we have hired the best hands in the industry. Such team will streamline our activities towards achieving set targets. We also seek to adapt to circumstances as they unfold.

iv. Threats

Threats are ever present. However how well they are handled determines success. We have assessed our threats. While doing so, we have also measured our levels of exposure. Hence, in anticipation, we’ve been able to create a buffer (by diversifying our services). This will enable us absorb any shocks that may result. These are in the form of an economic recession as well as a crash in the housing market.

• Sales Projection

This is the essence of our operations. Without sales, our activities can’t be sustained. Based on trends, we’ve done a 3 year sales projection. This has turned out promising and shows the following results;

• First Financial Year.   $890,000.00
• Second Financial Year. $1,800,000.00
• Third Financial Year.  $3,000,000.00
• Marketing Strategy

This is critical to running a profitable business. Hence we have chosen a vibrant marketing team. This team will ensure that a robust campaign is initiated. In addition, our contacts (mostly contractors) within the construction industry will be taken advantage of.

• Competitive Advantage

Our competitive advantage lies in our wealth of experience. In other words, we have made up for size with experience and expertise. This will enable us compete favourably with other quarrying businesses. The welfare of our workforce is also a factor that sets us apart from the pack.

This quarry business plan sample has highlighted some of the most important aspects of a good plan. We are confident that you will find this very useful in preparing a plan.

However a plan isn’t sufficient enough. You need to also implement. But this stage should be taken only after you must have carefully completed your plan. It’s best to have a second opinion. It’s best to seek such from experienced persons.
