The following is a fictional sample business plan for a new, start up restaurant in Montreal.  Contact CreditSunrise for more details or a quote to help write your a business plan.

CreditSunrise Fictional restaurant is a new restaurant located in Little West-Side, Montreal. Situated at the corner of Main and Fourth Street, it is located in the newly renovated section of this highly vibrant and enchanting strip. City.com describes Little West-Side as " one of the trendiest and friendliest Neighborhood in Montreal. Clearly eclectic, always warm and inviting, Little West-Side nightlife is second to none."

In the midst of a diverse mix of Italian restaurants, trattorias, and coffeehouses, CreditSunrise Fictional will be the restaurant/lounge/live music venue. The restaurant, renovated from an old Hall owned by The International Veteran's Association , has two large levels (main floor and basement), a balcony, and the potential for a side patio. The venue will seat 63 comfortably and is modular depending on what is taking place. The main floor has one of the only stages left in the area (they are by-law out of existence) which will highlight the singers and bands that make their way to CreditSunrise Fictional. As a restaurant, the menu will be Mediterranean with an emphasis on seafood.

The Main Avenue area (Little West-Side) has been in the press recently as the trendiest area in Montreal. It provides the Main Avenue inhabitants and tourists with fine food (renowned cafes/trattorias/bars), coffee, both live and DJ music, and a wide array of shops. Many of the owners know each other and provide an atmosphere of camaraderie. Demand by business owners and homeowners to enter this community can best be described as intense with vacancies at 0.5%. CreditSunrise Fictional ownership have negotiated a modest property; securing an exceptional lease of $10.00/month for this 6000 square foot venue.

Two equal partners own CreditSunrise Fictional: John Smith and Sam Jones. John Smith, owner of Country Diner and previous owner of Club 1 (another Main Avenue restaurant) will be running this venue full time. His extensive restaurant experience is invaluable and he is bringing in many people that previously had worked with him including one of his previous chefs to lead the kitchen staff and aid with catering and one of Country Diner's top waiters. The other owner, Sam Jones, will be managing the floor full-time (he presently owns a construction company in Northern Montreal). Both John and Sam grew up and now live with their families in the area and have developed strong relations with key contacts in the community such as John Jackson, City Councilor and Lenny Simpson, President of a local Radio Station K-102 and C.E.O. of the Montreal Business Improvement Association. They are familiar with the businesses and competition as well as with the clientele.

Presently, a reservation at a Main Avenue restaurant requires making contact a week in advance. Even with two seatings per evening, there are regular lineups with neighboring restaurants benefiting from some of the overflow. Surrounding restaurants will take some of that overflow and more if the food and entertainment are right. Besides The Ross Room (which seats less than 100) and Bar Italo , there isn't a place to "hang out" after dinner. With CreditSunrise Fictional, there will be live music of a jazz and blues nature brought in every weekend along with dinner. The patio will be open by this summer.
