Location
Lease info
We are planning to get all training types of equipment and other machinery
on lease from abandoned or developed gyms. We will use the finance lease
option, which will lead towards the ownership of the product at the end of
the lease agreement. The equipments that will be leased are cardio
equipment, fitness equipment, recumbent exercise bike, treadmills and other
machinery. The company will also buy the balls and the soccer/football
equipment as it is of low cost and comes as a package.
The place will be located in Barrhaven and it is a 170-acre part. The best
thing about the site is it has all the things we needed. It is also near Highway
and airport and train stations. The rent will cost us $6000 per month that
accounts for electricity, use of gym equipments and for providing salaries to
the trainers. The place can be reached via car or bus. The decision to choose
that area is because it is one of fastest growing areas of Ottawa, with 28
schools around it and it is a family-oriented community. In addition, around
the area there is over 500 business, local shop and restaurants. A gym will
help every family so that their kids can grow up in healthy area. At the same
time, free parking and rest rooms will be provided to the parents.

Risk Analysis

risk with the assistance of different approaches of risk management. The practical attention or
identification towards the management risk will bring advantage for long term towards the
Academy of the professional athletic. The clients will consist of a level of self-assurance so that
safety with respect to the risks is maintained. The benefit that the company can gain is the
experience towards the mitigation of the risk by using modern methods so that the overall
management of the business can be taken into account.
Here is some of the risk analysis
 Lawsuit and injures are the most common risks that can occur at the gym and the field.
We can prevent injuries from occurring by teaching the customers the right way of using
the equipment and the manner in which the exercises can be done in a correct manner.
 Damage to gym/equipment/facility is the second most common risk can occur in our
company. We will teach them and provide some instruction about using the equipment to
minimize the chances of damage. We will check the equipment at regular intervals of
one week to make sure everything is safe for the customers.
 Money and financial risk can be mitigated by managing the money to stay competitive
during the setting up of small business. Hiring a financial manager to manage the money
can help in formulating a plan and set up goals to achieve it.
 It is easy to lose a reputation despite working hard to gain it back. We will apply ethical
rules that will be followed in our company. Some of the ethical rules include, no
discrimination of the customers, pool rules like washing the body before entering the
9

pool, using the equipments and replacing them in the areas that it had been taken from
and ensure that policies such as payment be maintained.
 Natural risk, the snow and the rain might cause a risk to our company and we have to
monitor such activities and remain ready for it before it occurs. Insurance for natural
disasters will be made so that we can reduce any form of financial loss (AICPA 2019).
