EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Rico Rice Mill is a company registered in the United States. It will be established in Florida. Having done a comprehensive market research, we found out that the United State pet industry has a very huge market. Here in Florida, a lot of people have pets which are mostly dogs and they need to get these dogs trained and care for.

However, there are few training centers available to meet this need. The discovery of this challenge was what prompted us to establish Dillo Dog Training Company. We have gotten a very strategic location where there is a large concentration of dog owners who are in dire need of our services. Know that having a hungry market is not enough, we aim to offer our prospective customers quality services that they cannot get anywhere else.

Our products and services include training and grooming services, sales of dog training equipment and sales of dog care materials. We discovered that many dog owners find it challenging to find a conducive place to board their dogs when they are travelling or going for vacation. We are planning to help them tackle this challenge by making conducive and comfortable boarding facilities available to them at affordable rates.

Dillo Dog Company is jointly owned by George Will and Ken Greene. Mr. Will has a degree in Business Administration. His passion for pet animals made him ventured into consulting for businesses in the pet industry.
