POWER SYSTEM ENGINEERING STUDY BUSINESS PLAN

I. Executive Summary

Company Description

Continuity Power Engineering (name denotes mission: maintain uninterrupted power) launches in 2026 as a U.S.-based electrical engineering firm focused exclusively on power system reliability and safety for critical facilities. We operate in the engineering consulting sector and deliver advanced modeling, protection studies, short-circuit and coordination analysis, arc-flash risk assessment, and client training. One-liner: we prevent outages and protect people through precise, engineer-led analysis.

Our team of licensed Professional Engineers uses industry-leading simulation software in a dedicated technical facility to produce data-driven insights that keep hospitals, data centers, manufacturing plants, and utilities online and compliant. Key differentiators: senior PE staffing on every project, proprietary modeling templates, hands-on client training, and a facility that supports live commissioning and workshops. Short-term goal: secure five anchor clients and standardize deliverables by Q4 2026. Long-term goal: scale to a national practice and embed predictive analytics into routine maintenance programs. One-liner: we turn complex electrical data into actionable plans that reduce downtime and risk.

Problem

Critical infrastructure operators face concentrated financial, safety, and compliance risk from power system failures. Unplanned downtime and equipment damage interrupt operations, shift maintenance to emergency response, and cause lost production and urgent repair costs.

Arc flash and related electrical hazards expose personnel to life‑threatening injuries and trigger severe regulatory penalties when controls and documentation are inadequate. Operators lack in‑house engineering capacity for audit‑grade protection coordination, fault analysis, and compliance documentation, leaving a practical market gap for advanced electrical engineering services that ensure safety and continuous uptime.

Solution

Critical facilities face financial and safety risk from power-system failures and arc flash incidents, and facility managers often lack the specialized engineering to meet OSHA and NFPA 70E requirements. Our service provides specialized electrical engineering consulting that prevents failures, reduces incident risk, and improves uptime.

We deliver short circuit studies, protective device coordination, NFPA 70E arc flash assessments using IEEE 1584 methods, annotated one-line diagrams, equipment safety labels, on-site data collection, and a precise digital twin plus actionable engineering reports.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to ensure the reliability and safety of the nation's critical power infrastructure through expert engineering analysis and data-driven insights. We protect lives and prevent costly downtime by setting the industry standard for precision in power system modeling and hazard mitigation. We serve as the most trusted technical advisor for mission-critical facilities, committed to technical excellence and rigorous safety standards.

Key Success Factors

Success depends on technical credibility, efficient delivery, strong partnerships, and compliance-driven demand.

• Specialized modeling capabilities: Advanced use of ETAP and SKM for accurate, defensible studies.
• Professional Engineer talent: Recruiting and retaining licensed PEs to protect technical reputation.
• Referral partnerships: Strong relationships with equipment manufacturers and electrical contractors to drive leads.
• Operational efficiency: High billable utilization and continuous CAC reduction for profitable growth.
• Regulatory and safety compliance: Mandatory compliance and safety needs that create steady, non‑discretionary demand.

Financial Summary

Financial snapshot: first-year revenue $1,275,000, breakeven in Jul-26, and strong EBITDA growth to 2030.

Financial need: maintain minimum cash of $621,000 (hit in Jul-26); payback in 17 months; marketing and capex funded from initial capital; expected IRR 9.92% with ROE 10.06%.

Overall outlook: revenues scale to $9,192,000 by 2030 with EBITDA rising to $4,405,000.

Funding Requirements

The business requires $621,000 to launch and sustain operations until breakeven (Jul-26); projected first-year revenue is $1,275,000 and five-year revenue reaches $9,192,000.

$621,000 funds capex, seven months of payroll, and operating runway to breakeven.
