Market:
The initial target market for Wiggle~Wave is the estimated 636,000 professional licensed hairdressers in the continental United States and Canada. Wiggle~Wave estimates the total market potential to be approximately $84 million. To access this market, we will be working with a network of 2-10 distributors who will provide coverage for the both the United States and Canada. It is anticipated that in the second year of operation, the company will begin to work with distributors in Europe.

Competition:
Currently there is no similar product to the Wiggle~Wave Modular Hair Waving System available in the market place. The Wiggle Wave company will be developing and maintaining a new niche segment in the in the $350 billion (US) beauty supply market.

Management:
Wiggle~Wave will have a larger, more talented and more experienced management team than most new enterprises, in that, the various components involved in getting the Wiggle~Wave Modular Hair Waving System into the hands of the customer will each be managed by proven executives and staff of the various sub-contractors involved.

Harold Giles is President of Wiggle~Wave Ltd. He is the founder of the company and inventor of the Wiggle~Wave Modular Hair Waving System. Harold will be involved in all aspects of the Wiggle~Wave operation but particularly in the marketing and sales in the early stages of introducing this product to the market.

Deanna Thorson is Manger of Marketing and Sales. Deanna will be will be coordinating the marketing, promotional, and sales activities of the company.

Maureen Ellam is providing the financial management expertise, both in the day to day operations and financial strategic planning.

Peter Eisenbock is the Operations Manager for Wiggle~Wave Ltd. Peter will be primarily responsible for overseeing the production and shipping of the Wiggle~Wave Modular Hair Waving System

Exit Strategy:
The exit of Wiggle~Wave company founders can be accomplished in a number of different ways. The most likely method is by the sale of all or part of the Wiggle~Wave company to an outside entity. The most likely purchaser would be an existing beauty industry hardware supplier or a chemical waving producer that wishes to have its products associated with the Wiggle~Wave styling system.

While it is not the goal of the company founders to exit during the growth stage of operations, that option will remain open and will depend upon the advantages to the company and the founders.
