Abstract
This business plan outlines the creation and strategic development of Buckeye Property Consulting, a startup firm specializing in compliance consulting for affordable housing property management companies. The plan addresses the growing demand for expert support in navigating complex regulatory requirements associated with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Low‑Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) programs. Through industry and market analysis, the document identifies a service gap faced by small to mid‑sized property management firms that lack sufficient in‑house compliance resources but cannot afford large national consulting firms. The plan details the company’s mission, value proposition, service offerings, competitive positioning, and target market, with an emphasis on operational efficiency, regulatory expertise, and relationship‑driven service. Financial projections demonstrate the viability of a lean startup model with diversified revenue streams, low overhead costs, and scalable growth potential. Overall, the plan positions Buckeye Property Consulting as a specialized, cost‑effective compliance partner designed to reduce regulatory risk, improve operational performance, and support the long‑term sustainability of affordable housing portfolios.
