Telecenter Operations and Marketing Plan

Budgets
Based on the specs and operating scenarios presented in this document, we have prepared budgets for start-up, operating and capital as it relates to Phase I of the project. When the operation moves into the new permanent center (Phase II) most of these expenses will not need to be replicated. Those expenses that are not transferable to Phase II, will need to be addressed by the Phase II capital budget.
Start-Up Budget
These are costs that must be incurred prior to opening the doors to the temporary location of the Telecenter. The estimated amount is based on the chapter 6 analysis not out-of-pocket cost to strategic partner.

Capital Budget
For the temporary Telecenter site there is no anticipated capital costs at this time. In order to enhance off-hours access to the Training & Resource Center and provide a quiet space, temporary walls may need to be constructed in the Work Connection site. If this capital improvement is undertaken, we recommend the materials and construction is of such a nature as to allow the walls to be dismantled and reassembled at the permanent location.
