Abstract
The purpose of this business feasibility plan is to answer the following questions:
• Can Oil2U convince Company X to offer Oil2U’s services to Company X employees?
• Are Oil2U’s services something Company X employees are interested in using?
• Can Oil2U be a profitable and feasible part time job for Oil2U’s owner and operator, Jon
Hecker?
• If Oil2U’s business wanted to be expanded to other companies besides Company X, are
there opportunities for this in the Kansas City area?
Oil2U will offer three-step oil changes. Customers will need to perform the following three steps
to get the oil in their vehicles changed:
Step 1: Sign up for an appointment to get your vehicle’s oil changed and fill out a vehicle
information and requested services form at Oil2ULLC.com. A version of the form that will be
found on the website can be seen in Appendix E.
Step 2: On the day of the appointment, park your vehicle in a reserved parking spot located
at your company’s parking garage or parking lot.
Step 3: Drop your spare key and payment off at a locked Oil2U box located at a convenient
location at your company. Payment can also be made at Oil2U’s website using a credit
card.
Once the customer has performed these three easy steps, a clean, uniformed, Oil2U
employee will show up at the company between 8am and 3pm ready to perform the
services. The Oil2U employee will pick up the key or keyless entry device and payment
from the Oil2U lock box and then perform the services requested. Once the services have
been performed, the Oil2U employee will lock the key or keyless entry device along with an
Oil2U evaluation form (see Appendix D) explaining the services that were performed, a
receipt of payment, and a “Next Oil Change Due” sticker in the vehicle. The used motor oil
will be taken to one of the many companies in the Olathe, KS area that accept used motor
oil at no charge. Wal-Mart, AutoZone, O’Reillys and Advance Auto Parts are a few of the
many companies labeled as a used motor oil pick up and drop off recycling center in Olathe,
KS that will accept up to 5 gallons of used motor oil per person, per day (Earth911.com
2012). Further information on how the process will work when applied to a company can be
seen in Oil2U’s proposal to Company X, which can be found in Appendix B.
