PART I: INFORMATION REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Summary Information and Risk Factors.
The Company
Planning Force, Inc. ("PFI" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 31, 2004. PFI is a development stage company that plans to specialize in event and retreat planning for corporations. The Company will offer two types of services: retreat training services and product launch event planning. Planning for corporate events and leadership training is much more than merely making travel arrangements for the participants. We plan to offer a full range of services, including travel and meeting logistics, as well as facilitating and managing the planning and logistics for an entire event or retreat. We plan to offer client-specific event and retreat packages that encompass budget planning, event conceptualization, as well as venue, vendor and travel selection and scheduling.
In order to offer a range of services to accommodate clients' needs, we plan to establish affiliate relationships with various vendors. We currently have three existing affiliate relationships, all of which are listed on our website, www.planningforce.net: The Black Horse Inn, The Total Life Planning Institute and Castle Creek Inn. No compensation is exchanged as directly related to the relationship. However, if a client decides to hold an event or retreat at an affiliate's facilities, at this time we will enter into a formal contract with the venue at a discounted rate that these companies customarily pay referring customers. In addition, all of these vendors have facilities and personnel to be able to accommodate, as well as coordinate, both corporate retreats and events.
We are a development stage company that has not commenced our planned principal operations and has no significant assets. Our operations to date have been devoted primarily to startup and development activities, which include the following:
1.
Formation of the Company;
2.
Obtaining capital through sales of our common stock;
3.
Establishing our presence on the Internet at www.planningforce.net; and
4.
Entering into affiliate relationships with vendors.
<R>Since our inception on August 31, 2004 to March 31, 2005, we have not generated any revenues and have incurred a net loss of $17,954. It is hoped that we will begin to generate revenues within the next six to 12 months, of which there can be no guarantee. We believe that the $23,000 in funds received from a recent private placement are sufficient to finance our efforts to become fully operational and carry us through the next at least 12 months. However, our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the independent auditors' report to the financial statements included in the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part.</R>
In order to generate revenues, during the second and third quarters of 2005, we will:
1.
Continue to build our affiliate relationships: Although our sole officer and director believes that the three current affiliate relationships we have established are sufficient to continue as a going concern, we plan to continue to pursue and evaluate additional relationships to expand the options we can offer to our potential clients.
2.
Refine our website: If we enter into additional affiliate relationships, we will continue to add content from these affiliates or links to their websites.
3.
Develop and implement a marketing plan: In order to promote our company and establish our name, we will develop and implement a marketing plan. Currently, we expect to design and distribute printed brochures for mail distribution. In addition, we are evaluating the feasibility of utilizing e-mail and banner advertisements.
3
We currently have one officer and director, who also acts as our sole employee. This individual works for us on a part-time basis.
As of the date of this Prospectus, PFI has 10,460,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding.
PFI's administrative office is located at 702 East 27th Avenue, Spokane, Washington 99203, telephone (509) 747-2064.
PFI's fiscal year end is December 31.
The Offering
The offering consists entirely of shares offered by the selling stockholders. We are offering no shares. The selling stockholders are offering 460,000 shares, or 4.40%, of our issued and outstanding common stock as soon as practicable after this Registration Statement becomes effective. The selling shareholders will sell at a price of $0.05 per share until the shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board® or in another quotation medium and, thereafter, at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
The offering price of the common stock has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, historical earnings or net worth.
The proceeds of the offering will go directly to the selling stockholders. None of the proceeds will be available to Planning Force, Inc.
Planning Force, Inc.'s Transfer Agent is Holladay Stock Transfer, 2939 N. 67th Place, Suite C, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251, phone (480) 481-3940.
Planning Force, Inc. has agreed to pay all costs and expenses relating to the registration of its common stock, but the selling stockholders will be responsible for any related commissions, taxes, attorney's fees and related charges in connection with the offer and sale of the shares. The selling stockholders may sell their common stock through one or more broker/dealers, and such broker/dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions.
Summary Financial Information
The summary financial data are derived from the historical financial statements of PFI. This summary financial data should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Plan of Operations" as well as the historical financial statements and the related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Risk Factors
Investment in the securities offered hereby involves certain risks and is suitable only for investors of substantial financial means. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, before making an investment decision concerning the common stock.
5
INVESTORS MAY LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IF PFI FAILS TO COMMENCE ITS PLANNED OPERATIONS.
PFI was formed in August 2004. PFI has no demonstrable operations record, on which you can evaluate the business and its prospects. PFI's prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. These risks include, without limitation, competition, the absence of ongoing revenue streams, inexperienced management and lack of brand recognition. PFI cannot guarantee that it will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. To date, we have not generated any revenues and may incur losses in the foreseeable future. If we fail to implement and create a base of operations for our event planning and retreat training business, we may be forced out of business, in which case investors may lose their entire investment.
OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR WORKS FOR US ON A PART-TIME BASIS AND HAS NO EXPERIENCE IN MANAGING A PUBLIC COMPANY. AS A RESULT, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO DEVELOP OUR BUSINESS AND MANAGE OUR PUBLIC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
Our operations depend on the efforts of Kenneth Laurent, our sole officer, director and employee. Mr. Laurent has no experience related to public company management or as a principal accounting or principal financial officer and works for us only on a part-time basis. Because of this, Mr. Laurent may be unable to develop our business and manage our public reporting requirements. We cannot guarantee you that we will overcome any such obstacle.
IF PFI IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FUNDING, WE MAY BE FORCED TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS.
PFI has limited capital resources. To date, we have funded our operations from the sale of equity securities and have not generated cash from our operations. Although we believe we have enough capital to commence and continue our operations for the next approximately 12 months, unless we begin to generate sufficient revenues from our event and retreat planning business to finance operations as a going concern, PFI may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force PFI to go out of business if additional financing is not available. We have no intention of liquidating. In the event our cash resources are insufficient to continue operations, we intend to raise additional capital through offerings and sales of equity or debt securities. In the event we are unable to raise sufficient funds, we will be forced to go out of business and will be forced to liquidate. A possibility of such outcome presents a risk of complete loss of investment in our common stock.
PFI'S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE QUALIFIED THEIR REPORT TO EXPRESS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR COMPANY'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
PFI has yet to commence its planned operations. As of the date of this Prospectus, PFI has had only limited start-up operations and generated no revenues. Taking these facts into account, the independent auditors of PFI have expressed substantial doubt about PFI's ability to continue as a going concern in the independent auditors' report to the financial statements included in the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part. If PFI's business fails, the investors in this offering may face a complete loss of their investment.
CHANGES IN CONSUMER PREFERENCES COULD REDUCE DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES.
Any change in the preferences of our potential corporate customers that we fail to anticipate could reduce the demand for the event and retreat planning services we intend to provide. Decisions about our focus and the specific services we plan to offer are often made in advance of customers contracting us. Failure to anticipate and respond to changes in consumer preferences and demands could lead to, among other things, customer dissatisfaction, failure to attract demand for our services and lower profit margins.
6
PFI'S BUSINESS MAY SUFFER IF THIRD PARTIES FAIL TO PROVIDE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES MEETING PFI'S CUSTOMERS' EXPECTATIONS
Our business model will rely in part on referrals to, and operating in concert with, various third parties, such as travel agents, convention centers, etc. If such third parties, who at the present time are unidentified, fail to meet our expectations or those of our clients, our reputation and results of operation will be negatively impacted.
BECAUSE OF COMPETITIVE PRESSURES FROM COMPETITORS WITH MORE RESOURCES PFI MAY FAIL TO IMPLEMENT ITS BUSINESS MODEL PROFITABLY OR CONTINUE TO REMAIN IN BUSINESS.
PFI is entering a highly competitive market segment with relatively low barriers to entry. There are numerous companies in the event planning and corporate retreat business, ranging from multi-national entities to firms serving a limited geographical region, which are difficult to identify. On a broad scope, Event-Planner.com and CorporateEventPlanner.com are two significant competitors. In the Northwest US region, we believe that Corporate Retreats and Expand Retreat are our direct competitors for corporate retreat hosting.
Generally, PFI's actual and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources and greater name recognition. Therefore, these competitors have a significantly greater ability to attract clients. In addition, many of these competitors may be able to devote greater resources than PFI to the development, promotion and sale of their services. There can be no assurance that PFI's current or potential competitors will not develop services comparable or superior to those to be offered by us. Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins or loss of market share, any of which would materially and adversely affect PFI's business, results of operation and financial condition.
PURCHASERS IN THIS OFFERING WILL HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OVER DECISION-MAKING BECAUSE PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF PFI CONTROL THE MAJORITY OF OUTSTANDING STOCK IN PFI.
The directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 95.6% of the outstanding common stock. This concentration of ownership limits the power to exercise control by the minority shareholders that will have purchased their stock in this offering. As a result, these stockholders could exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, the concentration of control may inhibit a change of control and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, to the extent a market develops.
WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, THE LOSS OF WHOM MAY FORCE US OUT OF BUSINESS.
The operations of PFI depend substantially on the skills and experience of Julie Morin. Without employment contracts, PFI may lose Ms. Morin to other pursuits without a sufficient warning and, consequently, go out of business.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST FACED BY THE TOP MANAGEMENT OF PFI MAY JEOPARDIZE THE BUSINESS CONTINUITY OF PFI.
Ms. Morin may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, this individual may face a conflict in selecting between PFI and her other business interests. PFI has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
BECAUSE MS. MORIN HAS NO SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE IN THE EVENT AND RETREAT PLANNING BUSINESS, PFI MAY FACE ADDITIONAL UNEXPECTED RISKS AND CHALLENGES
Ms. Morin has no specific experience in the business of event and retreat planning. Because of that, we may face additional unexpected risks and challenges. Such risks and challenges include, without limitation, the potential inability to identify or foresee industry trends and consumer preferences, locate and cooperate with service providers or to create effective marketing and sales campaigns. In light of Ms. Morin's lack of industry specific experience, we may face unexpected risks that could severely impact our business.
7
THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE MAY INHIBIT OUR OPERATIONS.
After the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The costs of complying with such requirements may be substantial. In the event we are unable to establish a base of operations that generates sufficient cash flows or cannot obtain additional equity or debt financing, the costs of maintaining our status as a reporting entity may inhibit out ability to continue our operations.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES IN OUR COMPANY BECAUSE THERE IS NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR STOCK.
There is no public market for our common stock. Our common stock is currently held amongst a small community of shareholders. Therefore, the current and potential market for our common stock is limited. Although we expect to undertake steps that would create a publicly traded market for our stock, the liquidity of our shares may be severely limited. PFI cannot guarantee that a meaningful trading market will develop.
If the stock ever becomes tradable, the trading price of PFI's common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various events or factors, many of which are beyond PFI's control. In addition, the stock market may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations, which, without a direct relationship to the operating performance, may affect the market price of PFI's stock.
INVESTORS MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY LIQUIDATING THEIR INVESTMENT BECAUSE PFI STOCK IS SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK REGULATION.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange system). The penny stock rules require a broker/dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer, and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker/dealer must make a special written determination that a penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules, and accordingly, customers in Company securities may find it difficult to sell their securities, if at all.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements, including statements concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of PFI and those preceded by, followed by or that include the words "may," "should," "could," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," or "continue" or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Investors should understand that the factors described below, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this document could affect PFI's future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements.
8
Use of Proceeds.
All of the shares being registered in this registration statement are issued and outstanding and held by the selling shareholders. The selling security holders will receive the net proceeds from the resale of their shares. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these shares, although we have agreed to pay the expenses related to the registration of such shares.
Determination of Offering Price.
As there is no public market in the shares, Planning Force, Inc. used the price of $0.05 per share, which is what the selling shareholders had paid for their shares, as the benchmark offering price. The selling shareholders will sell at a price of $0.05 per share until the shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board® or in another quotation medium and, thereafter, at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices.

The following table sets forth (i) the number of outstanding shares, beneficially owned by the selling stockholders prior to the offering; (ii) the aggregate number of shares offered by each such stockholder pursuant to this prospectus; and (iii) the amount and the percentage of the class to be owned by such security holder after the offering is complete:

Plan of Distribution.
The selling stockholders may offer their shares at various times in one or more of the following transactions:
1.
In the over-the-counter market;
2.
On any exchange on which the shares may hereafter be listed;
3.
In negotiated transactions other than on such exchanges;
4.
By pledge to secure debts and other obligations;
5.
In connection with the writing of non-traded and exchange-traded call options, in hedge transactions, in covering previously established short positions and in settlement of other transactions in standardized or over-the-counter options; or
6.
In a combination of any of the above transactions.
The selling stockholders may only offer and sell, from time to time, common stock using this prospectus in transactions at a fixed offering price of $0.05 per share until a trading market develops in our common stock, at which time the selling stockholders may sell shares at market prices, which may vary, or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use broker/dealers to sell their shares. The broker/dealers will either receive discounts or commissions from the selling stockholders, or they will receive commissions from purchasers of shares.
The selling stockholders may transfer the shares by means of gifts, donations and contributions. This prospectus may be used by the recipients of such gifts, donations and contributions to offer and sell the shares received by them, directly or through brokers, dealers or agents and in private or public transactions; however, if sales pursuant to this prospectus by any such recipient could exceed 500 shares, than a prospectus supplement would need to be filed pursuant to Section 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act to identify the recipient as a Selling Stockholder and disclose any other relevant information. Such prospectus supplement would be required to be delivered, together with this prospectus, to any purchaser of such shares.
Some of the selling stockholders may be eligible and may elect to sell some or all of their shares pursuant to additional exemptions to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including but not limited to, Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this Registration Statement.
Under certain circumstances the selling stockholders and any broker/dealers that participate in the distribution may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any commissions received by such broker/dealers and any profits realized on the resale of shares by them may be considered underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify such broker/dealers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders will also be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and regulations under the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the shares by the selling stockholders. Furthermore, under Regulation M under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution or the resale of shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. All of the above may affect the marketability of the securities and the availability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to our common stock.
10
The selling stockholders will pay all commissions, transfer fees, and other expenses associated with the sale of securities by them. The shares offered hereby are being registered by us, and we have paid the expenses of the preparation of this prospectus. We have not made any underwriting arrangements with respect to the sale of shares offered hereby.
We do not intend to engage in any distribution efforts on behalf of any of the holders of our common stock other than providing for registration of the securities registered for sale with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Each of the selling stockholders is acting independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, price, manner and size of each with the distribution of the shares. There is no assurance, therefore, that the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares. In connection with the offer and sale of the shares, we have agreed to make available to the selling stockholders copies of this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement and have informed the selling stockholders of the need to deliver copies of this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the shares offered hereby.

Description of Business.

PFI has no intention to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company.

Business of Issuer
Principal Services and Principal Markets
Planning Force, Inc. intends to specialize in event and retreat planning for corporate customers. Planning Force was founded to specialize in two niches of the general corporate event planning market :
1.
The first is leadership development and teaming skills development, which concentrates on coaching, team-building and strategic planning.
2.
The second area of specialization is corporate event planning for new product launches, consisting of organizing and staging events designed to release new products to people outside the corporation.
Corporate event and retreat planning is much more than merely making travel arrangements for the participants. We believe that a successful event or retreat is defined as one that provides maximum impact on its participants, and that does a superior job of showcasing the client, as well as our services. We plan to offer potential clients a full range of services, including travel and meeting logistics, as well as facilitating and managing the planning and logistics for an entire event or retreat. Planning Force seeks to offer event and retreat packages specifically tailored to the needs of each client. Our service packages may include the following:
o
Budget planning and financial management for events and retreats;
o
Venue selection and scheduling;
o
Travel and lodging arrangements;
o
Entertainment scheduling;
o
Vendor coordination;
o
Conceptualize and establish meeting design and objectives;
Distribution Methods of the Services
Our sales strategy will be based on the following elements:
o
Developing affiliate relationships with third party service providers.
Our initial focus will be on building relationships with 3rd parties in order to allow us to customize events and retreats for our customers and to offer value added services. We believe that alliances with providers of leadership development programs to assist in the hosting aspect of events and retreats will increase our visibility and brand recognition. Relationships with travel agents and event or retreat venues will provide us with a greater range of choices in the organization and coordination of corporate events and retreats.
14
o
Establish a sales and marketing plan.
In our first six months after commencing our planed principal operations, we will seek to develop and institute a plan to market our company and products. Using the Internet for marketing and sales is an important component of our growth strategy. We have established a website at www.planningforce.net to offer information about our company and the services we provide to the corporate consumer.
We believe personal relationships can cultivate business sales. As a result, we may seek to engage event and retreat planning consultants to approach corporations directly. We believe this will provide us with branding opportunities and greater market exposure. These representatives will be paid on an independent contractor basis, and are not intended to be salaried company employees, which will allow us to preserve our capital. We have not attempted to engage independent sales representatives at this time.
Industry background and competition
We are a small, start-up company that has not generated any revenues and lacks a customer base. Significantly all of our competitors have longer operating histories, longer relationships with clients and third party service providers, as well have greater financial, management, technology, sales, marketing and other resources than we do. The event and retreat planning services we plan to market will generally compete for audience and advertising with other corporate event and retreat planners. These businesses compete for advertising directed at corporations. We expect to compete, in particular, with the following types of companies:
1.
Corporate event planners specializing in events to reward customers and employees;
2.
Corporate event planners specializing in events to change a company's image; and
3.
Corporate training companies who focus on providing and scheduling speakers and presenters.
The corporate event planning and training market segment is highly competitive and fragmented, with minimal barriers to entry. There are numerous companies in the event planning and corporate retreat business, ranging from multi-national entities to firms serving a limited geographical region, which are difficult to identify. On the Internet, Event-Planner.com and CorporateEventPlanner.com are two significant competitors. These websites have a directory of service providers located throughout the United States. In the State of Washington, we believe that Corporate Retreats and Expand Retreat are among our largest competitors for corporate retreat hosting. Additionally, there are approximately 115 companies providing some form of event or retreat planning services. Despite the volume of competition, our management believes that most competitors offer either a broad range of planning or training services, rarely both. As a result, our focus will be to carve out a niche serving both markets. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in doing so.
Need for Government Approval
We are not aware of the need to obtain governmental approval for any aspect of our operations.
Effect of existing or probable government regulations
PFI is not aware of any existing or probable government regulations that would have a material effect on our business.
15
Amount spent during each of the last two fiscal years on research and development
We did not spend any amount on research and development activities.
Number of total employees and number of full time employees.
PFI is currently in the development stage. During the development stage, we plan to rely exclusively on the services of Julie Morin, our sole officer and director, to set up our business operations. Ms. Morin currently works for us on a part-time basis and expects to devote approximately 20 hours per week to our business. Ms. Morin is prepared to dedicate additional time to our operations, as needed. There are no other full- or part-time employees.
While we believe that the addition of employees is not required over the next 12 months, we may decide to contract an event and retreat planner to assist us in executing and marketing our business. Such individual will be paid on a contractual basis, will work with us part-time and will not be considered a salaried employee.

Management's Discussion and Plan of Operation.
This section must be read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements included in this Prospectus.
Management's Discussion
PFI was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 31, 2004. PFI is a startup and has not yet realized any revenues. Our efforts have focused primarily on the development and implementation of our business plan. No development related expenses have been or will be paid to affiliates of PFI.
<R>In our initial operating period from inception to March 31, 2005, we generated no revenues while incurring $17,954 in expenses. The cumulative net loss was attributable solely to professional fees and general and administrative expenses related to the costs of start-up operations.</R>
Since our incorporation, we have raised capital through private sales of our common equity. In September 2004, we issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to Julie Morin, an officer and director, in exchange for cash in the amount of $10,000. Additionally, we sold an aggregate of 460,000 shares of our common stock to 23 shareholders for cash proceeds of $23,000.
16
Generating sales in the next six to 12 months is important to support our planned ongoing operations. However, we cannot guarantee that we will generate such growth. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow to support our operations over the next 12 to 18 months, we may need to raise additional capital by issuing capital stock in exchange for cash in order to continue as a going concern. There are no formal or informal agreements to attain such financing. We can not assure you that any financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.
Our management does not expect to incur research and development costs.
PFI does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
We currently do not own any significant plant or equipment that we would seek to sell in the near future.
Our management does not anticipate the need to hire additional full- or part- time employees over the next 12 months, as the services provided by our sole officer and director appear sufficient at this time. Our sole officer and director works for us on a part-time basis, and is prepared to devote additional time, as necessary. To date, Ms. Morin has established affiliate relationships with three vendors, contracted and consulted for development of an Internet site and raised capital in a private placement. Thus, we believe that the services provided by our sole officer and director are sufficient to manage our current operations. We plan to outsource hosting and management of potential corporate events and retreats, thus our management's responsibilities are mainly administrative. While we believe that the addition of employees is not required over the ne xt 12 months, we may decide to contract an event and retreat planner to assist us in executing and marketing our business. Such individual will be paid on a contractual basis, will work with us part-time and will not be considered a salaried employee. Thus, these representatives are not intended to be employees of our company.
We have not paid for expenses on behalf of any of our directors. Additionally, we believe that this fact shall not materially change.
Plan of Operation
Planning Force intends to focus its efforts on establishing a base of operations in the event planning and leadership training business for corporate customers. In order to offer potential clients a range of services to accommodate their needs, we intend to enter into affiliate relationships with various vendors. PFI expects to continue to build the following relationships:
1.
Venues: As part of our service package, we will source the venue to host corporate events and retreats based upon each client's requirements and budget. To assist clients in their venue decision, we plan to develop affiliate relationships with potential conference sites. Venues with which we have agreements with will be featured on our website and will be highly recommended by us to our clients. In the event a client decides to hold an event or retreat at an affiliate's site, we will enter into a formal contract with the venue at a discounted rate that these companies customarily pay referring customers. However, it is the client's decision where the event or retreat will ultimately be held.
2.
Travel agents: Our business involves the coordination and scheduling of travel arrangements. At the current time, our operations are limited in scope, thus we plan to enter into affiliate relationships with travel agents to supply our clients with the necessary access to hotel, plane or rental car reservations. Until such time as we are able to find travel agents with which to align ourselves with, we plan to use publicly available websites, such as Expedia or Travelocity, and reservation methods, such as calling hotel and airline reservation centers directly, to assist potential clients.
17
We have started the development of affiliate relationships with third party vendors. We have initiated three relationships, all of which are listed on our website, www.planningforce.net: The Black Horse Inn, The Total Life Planning Institute and Castle Creek Inn. No compensation is exchanged as directly related to the relationship. However, if a client decides to hold an event or retreat at an affiliate's facilities, at that time we will enter into a formal contract with the venue at a discounted rate that these companies customarily pay referring customers. All of these vendors have facilities able to accommodate, as well as coordinate, both corporate retreats and events.
All affiliate relationships are non-binding and cancelable at any time either party. We do not intend to realize pass through revenue as a result of any potential affiliate relationship. We currently do not have any material contracts and or affiliations with any third parties. There are not intended to be any obligation by any party to refer any level of business to the other. We will continue to identify businesses and develop relationships over the course of our operations as opportunities present themselves. We will consider entering to affiliate relationships with any company providing services complementary to ours. In determining whether an affiliation with any party is feasible, the other party must agree to the terms specified above. For example, we will not enter into relationships maintaining a referral quota or requiring a royalty f ee.
In November 2004, we completed a private placement whereby we sold an aggregate of 460,000 shares of our common equity for total cash proceeds of $23,000. We believe that these funds will be sufficient to finance our efforts to become fully operational and carry us through the next at least 12 months. The table below sets forth the anticipated use of funds received from the offering.
Estimated | Estimated | |
Amount | Completion | |
Computer hardware and software | $3,000 | Completed |
Website development and maintenance | $4,000 | Completed and ongoing |
Accounting and legal fees | $1,000 | Ongoing |
Marketing activities | $4,000 | Second Quarter 2005 |
SEC reporting expenses | $4,500 | Use as needed |
General working capital | $3,990 | Use as needed |
Offering expenses | $2,510 | Use as needed |
Our management believes that establishing our brand name is imperative to our ability to continue as a going concern. Establishing our presence on the Internet is critical to reaching a broad consumer base. The $4,000 allocated to the development and maintenance of our website at www.planningforce.net is expected to be sufficient for the next 12 months. The site has initially been designed to promote our company and will be used as a marketing platform. PFI does not expect to generate revenue from the website in the initial six months of our operations. We expect to refine the content of the site and add functionality as our funds permit.
Another facet of our marketing activities includes the creation of print brochures and mailings to increase our exposure and establish our brand. We also plan to utilize electronic mail and opt-in advertising to increase our exposure. We have allocated $4,000 of the proceeds raised in the private placement to finance this pursuit. We expect to commence production of marketing materials in the second quarter of 2005.
18
We expect to incur approximately $4,500 in expenses related to being a public reporting company. Although, our sole officer and director has no specific experience managing a public company, we believe these funds will be sufficient to maintain our status as a reporting company with the SEC.
We have budgeted $3,990 as general working capital for non-specific uses. We believe that these funds will allows us to cover costs that are as yet unforeseen and to take advantage of opportunities that may arise in the course of our business.
Ms. Morin, our sole officer and director, recognizes that we are required to continuously file reports with the SEC and any exchange we may be listed on, and understands the resultant increased costs of being a public reporting company. It is believed by Ms. Morin that investors are more agreeable to invest in a company that intends to become a public company rather than to remain private with no foreseeable exit strategy for shareholders. Thus, Ms. Morin raised capital in the private placement offering completed in November 2004 with the intention of PFI becoming a public reporting company. Our private investors held no influence on the decision to become a public company.
In addition, Ms. Morin believes that a benefit of being a public company is the access to capital markets. We believe that if additional funds are required to finance our continuing operations, we may be able to obtain more capital by pursuing an offering of equity or debt securities.
Description of Property.
PFI's uses office space at 702 East 27th Avenue, Spokane, Washington 99203. This space measures approximately 250 square feet. Ms. Julie Morin, a director and shareholder, is providing the office space at no charge to PFI. We believe that this arrangement is suitable given that our current operations are primarily administrative. We also believe that we will not need to lease additional administrative offices for at least the next 12 months. There are currently no proposed programs for the renovation, improvement or development of the facilities we currently use.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
In September 2004, PFI issued 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock to Julie Morin, an officer and director, in exchange for cash in the amount of $10,000.
PFI uses office space and services provided without charge by Julie Morin, a director and shareholder.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholder
Planning Force, Inc.
Spokane, WA
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Planning Force, Inc. as of December 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period August 31, 2004 (Inception) through December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has just begun operations, and is currently developing their business. They have incurred losses in their initial month of operations, and will be looking to raise capital over the next year to assist in funding their operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's operating and financing plans in regards to these matters are also discussed in Note 4. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Planning Force, Inc. as of December 31, 2004, and the changes in its operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
Planning Force, Inc. (the "Company"), a development stage company, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 31, 2004. Planning Force, Inc. (PFI) is an event planning company specializing in corporate customers. PFI will offer two types of services; retreat training services, as well as, product launch event planning. The retreat training services will be either leadership development training or teaming skills training. For both types of retreats, PFI can take care of the planning of the event, as well as, actually hosting the training through the use of one of PFI's strategic business partners.
The corporate market for event planning is steady and profitable. For some large companies, economic downturns mean cuts in training. This is, however, only the case for shortsighted companies. The benchmark companies may trim down the workforce during a downturn, but they do not cut funds for training. They recognize that investing in human resources is always a good investment. Additionally, even in economic downturns, companies still have product launches and will still need someone to organize these events.
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Company Year End
The Company is a December 31 year end.
Development Stage Company
The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises". The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning. Additionally, the Company has allocated a substantial portion of their time and investment in bringing their service to the market, and the raising of capital.

NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Equipment 5 years
Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed, while additions and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation expense for the period August 31, 2004 (Inception) to December 31, 2004 was $77.
Revenue Recognition
The Company's financial statements are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. Revenues will be recognized in the period the services are performed and costs are recorded in the period incurred rather than paid.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments are all carried at amounts that approximate their estimated fair value as of December 31, 2004.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes includes the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements. Deferred taxes would be recognized for differences between the basis for assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.

Advertising Costs
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred no such expenses since inception.
NOTE 3- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On August 31, 2004 the Company was formed with one class of common stock, par value $.001. The Company authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock.
In September 2004, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of stock to its officer for cash of $10,000.
In November 2004, the Company issued 460,000 shares of common stock at $.05 per share for $23,000. These shares were issued in accordance with their Private Placement Memorandum dated October 1, 2004.
NOTE 4- GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, as is typical of companies going through the development stage, the Company incurred a net loss for the period August 31, 2004 (Inception) through December 31, 2004. The Company is currently in the development stage, and there is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support current operations and generate anticipated sales. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that the Company's capital requirements will depend on many factors including the success of the Company's product development efforts. Management's plans include marketing of their services and establishment of key management personnel to support the business plan. With the business plan being followed, Management believes that along with working capital being raised, that the operations and sales will make the Company a viable entity over the next 12 months.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 5- PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes will be determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes will be measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company's tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
At December 31, 2004, deferred tax assets consist of the following:
Net operating loss carry forwards $2,462
Less: valuation allowance
(2,462)
$ -0-
At December 31, 2004, the Company had accumulated deficits during the development stage of $8,205 available to offset future taxable income through 2021. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed unaudited interim financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The condensed financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-QSB and do not contain information included in the Company's annual statements and notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2004 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these condensed financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the year.
These condensed unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the period presented.

The following table sets forth the costs and expenses payable by the Registrant in connection with the sale of the common stock being registered. PFI has agreed to pay all costs and expenses relating to the registration of its common stock. All amounts are estimated.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
In September 2004, we issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to Julie Morin, our founding shareholder and an officer and director, in exchange for cash in the amount of $10,000. This sale of stock did not involve any public offering, general advertising or solicitation. At the time of the issuance, Ms. Morin had fair access to and was in possession of all available material information about our company, as she is an officer and director of PFI. The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. On the basis of these facts, we claim that the issuance of stock to our founding shareholder qualifies for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
In November 2004, we completed an offering of our common stock to a group of private investors. We issued 460,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock for cash at $0.05 per share to twenty three shareholders. This November 2004 transaction (a) involved no general solicitation, (b) involved less than thirty-five non-accredited purchasers, and (c) relied on a detailed disclosure document to communicate to the investors all material facts about Planning Force, Inc., including an audited balance sheet and reviewed statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows. Thus, we believe that the offering was exempt from registration under Regulation D, Rule 505 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Exhibits
Undertakings.
In this Registration Statement, PFI is including undertakings required pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act.
Under Rule 415 of the Securities Act, PFI is registering securities for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis in the future. The registration statement pertains only to securities (a) the offering of which will be commenced promptly, will be made on a continuous basis and may continue for a period in excess of 30 days from the date of initial effectiveness and (b) are registered in an amount which, at the time the registration statement becomes effective, is reasonably expected to be offered and sold within two years from the initial effective date of the registration.
Based on the above-referenced facts and in compliance with the above-referenced rules, PFI includes the following undertakings in this Registration Statement:
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period, in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of the Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
42
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
43
SIGNATURES
In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements of filing on Form SB-2 and authorized this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in the City of Spokane, State of Washington on May 23, 2005.
