Business Playbook

Why this works now

The company could generate initial revenue by promoting rental packages on the Bear Lake Chamber of Commerce website, which attracts tourism traffic. A significant risk is the seasonal nature of the business, requiring careful cash flow management during off-peak months to cover operational costs.
