Provision of Software Development Project for a Charity

A Software Company has a potential Charity Client who needs a package, that
will aid them in their fund-raising campaigns and on which they have agreed
a price of £25,000 with a 3–4-month delivery. Bushido can acquire the same
package for £20,000 ‘up front’ and can have delivery in 1-2 months. Bushido
intends to commission the software development and re-sell the completed
package to the Charity for the original £25,000, with the Charity paying from
grant funding and donation. Fund raising should be helped as the Charity will
have the advantage of the software package to aid in this.

Outcomes

All Stakeholders involved benefit. Charity gets software they need at an
agreed price, sooner and benefit their stakeholders sooner.
Software company benefit from being able to schedule work, making them
more efficient, and to take on more work, possibly employing more people.
They also have a fee-paying client they can use as a reference.
Bushido is left with £10,200 after tax profit for investment into new projects.
Initial funds deployed 3 times meaning each £1.00 invested has returned 7%
to the investors but has had £3.00 worth of impact. The £10,200 profit will go
on adding to this

Personal Development and Educational Content Creation. Cash flowing of Grant funding

A military veteran, who suffers with complex PTSD, with serious addictions,
that lead to homelessness and attempted suicide, had been helped to get
clean and managed to gain a degree qualification that enabled him to get a
job teaching level 1 and level 2 building maintenance skills to 16-year-olds
who did not have any basic qualifications.
He noticed that the pupils were not engaged in the course materials and that
the drop out rate from the courses was very high. He saw that the kids were
bright and engaged when talking about computer games and believed he
could easily gamify the content of the courses he was teaching, to increase
engagement, and help educate.
He had the skills required to do this, but he needed a capable laptop and
some software. As a veteran he qualified for help from the Royal British
Legion in the form of a £2500 Grant, he however needed to fund the
purchase of Equipment before receiving the Grant.
Bushido was able to source the kit required at a superior specification to
that required for £900 and was able to supply this immediately. In addition,
Bushido made an introduction to a games developer contact who could
provide the programming skills required to design and render the game. To
deliver the game as designed, required the acquisition of a 360% camera at
a cost of £720. The developer offered as a trade to do all the development
work for “free” in exchange for the purchase of the camera.
Bushido therefore laid out £1620 for purchase of kit and invoiced back to
the veteran for £2000 which is to be paid when he receives his Royal British
legion grant. This represents a 23.45% return on the funds invested, over a
period of around 8 weeks.
The balance of £500 from the grant has been enough for the individual to get
onto 2 training courses to help in upgrading his skills.
