Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This prospectus contains these types of statements. Words, in their singular or plural form, such as “may”, “expect”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “project”, “continue” or their derivatives or comparable terminology used in connection with any discussion of future operating results or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus. All forward-looking statements reflect our present expectation of future events and are subject to a number of important factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section on page 8 of this prospectus, as well as any cautionary language in this prospectus; provide examples of these risks and uncertainties. The safe harbor for forward-looking statements is not applicable to this offering pursuant to Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933.
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements about our business, financial condition and prospects that reflect our management’s assumptions and beliefs based on information currently available. We can give no assurance that the expectations indicated by such forward-looking statements will be realized. If any of our assumptions should prove incorrect, or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such expectations should materialize, the actual results may differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.
The key factors that are not within our control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, acceptance of the proposed products that we expect to market, our ability to establish a substantial customer base, management’s ability to raise capital in the future, the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of the industry in which we function.

RISK FACTORS
Investment in the securities offered herein is speculative, involves a high degree of uncertainty, is subject to a number of 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 offered in this prospectus. Only those investors who are prepared to potentially risk a total financial loss of their investment in this company should consider investing. Any of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, operations or prospects and cause the value of our common stock to decline, which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment. When determining whether to invest, you should also refer to and consider the other information in this prospectus, including, but not limited to, the financial statements and related notes.
The factors set forth below, along with the other information contained herein, should be considered carefully in evaluating our prospects. Further, this document contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, goals, objectives, expectations and intentions. The cautionary statements made in this section apply to all forward-looking statement wherever they appear in this document. Readers are cautioned that, while the forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance, and involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein and our business, our financial condition or the results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this document. In the event that actual results do not meet expectations, there could be a consequent negative effect on the position of investors.
Our sole officer and Director lacks experience in and with publicly-traded companies.
Labor Smart Inc’s operations depend on the efforts of its sole officer and director of the Company. Mr. Ryan Schadel has no experience related to public company management. Because of this, we may be unable to offer and sell the shares in this offering, develop our business or manage our public reporting requirements. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to overcome any such obstacles.
The following are risk factors which are directly related to the Company’s business, financial condition and this offering. Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk and you should not invest in these securities unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. You should read these risk factors in conjunction with other more detailed disclosures located elsewhere in this prospectus.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN, INVESTORS MAY FACE A COMPLETE LOSS OF THEIR INVESTMENT
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not commenced operations and generated no revenues. From inception (May 31, 2011) until September 30, 2011, we had sales of $0 and a net loss of $18,400. Taking these facts into account, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in the independent registered public accounting firm’s report to the financial statements included in the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part. If our business fails, the investors in this offering may face a complete loss of their investment.
BECAUSE WE HAVE ONLY RECENTLY COMMENCED BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE
We were incorporated on May 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, we had revenues of $0 and a net loss of $ 18,400 .. We have no significant operating history nor do we have anyone experienced in managing a public company. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain any sustainable operations. It is not possible at this time to predict success with any degree of certainty due to problems associated with the commencement of new business. An investor should consider the risks, expenses and uncertainties that a developing company like ours faces. Potential investors should be aware that there is a substantial risk of failure associated with any new business venture as a result of problems encountered in connection with the commencement of new operations. These problems include, but are not limited to, an unstable economy, unanticipated problems relating to the entry of new competition, unanticipated moves by existing competition and unexpected additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
Our industry is significantly affected by fluctuations in general economic conditions.
The demand for our blue-collar staffing services is highly dependent upon the state of the economy and upon staffing needs of our customers. Any variation in the economic condition or unemployment levels of the markets we choose to do business in could significantly decrease our potential for revenues and profits.
Also, to date, we have completed only partial development of our intended operations and we can provide no assurance that our company will have a successful commercial application. There is no operating history upon which to base any projections as to the likelihood that we will prove successful in our current business plan, and thus there can be no assurance that we will be a viable, ongoing concern.
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE REGULATION. THE COST TO COMPLY AND ANY INABILITY TO COMPLY WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION COULD MATERIALLY HARM OUR BUSINESS
Our business is subject to extensive regulation. The cost to comply and any inability to comply with government regulation could materially harm our business. Increased government regulation of the workplace or of the employer-employee relationship, or judicial or administrative proceedings related to such regulation, could materially harm our business.
WE WILL EMPLOY INDIVIDUALS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS AND PLACE THEM IN OUR CUSTOMERS' WORKPLACES. WE HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OVER OUR CUSTOMERS' WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENTS
We employ individuals on a temporary basis and place them in our customers' workplaces. We have limited control over our customers' workplace environments. As the employer of record of our temporary workers we incur a risk of liability for various workplace events, including claims for personal injury, wage and hour requirements, discrimination or harassment, and other actions or inactions of our temporary workers. In addition, some or all of these claims may give rise to litigation including class action litigation.
WE CANNOT BE CERTAIN THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO OBTAIN INSURANCE THAT WILL BE SUFFICIENT IN AMOUNT OR SCOPE TO COVER ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE ASSERTED AGAINST US.
We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain insurance that will be sufficient in amount or scope to cover all claims that may be asserted against us. Should the ultimate judgments or settlements exceed our insurance coverage, they could have a material effect on our business. We cannot be certain we will be able to obtain appropriate types or levels of insurance in the future.
THE STAFFING SERVICES BUSINESS IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND THE BARRIERS TO ENTRY ARE LOW
The staffing services business is highly competitive and the barriers to entry are low. There are new competitors entering the market which may increase pricing pressures and there are several large competitors that have more resources than we do which could greatly affect our ability to gain market share. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain customers or gain market share in the future. We are currently conducting demographic research in 5 major cities, Atlanta GA, Augusta GA, Nashville TN, Chattanooga TN, and Birmingham AL. We anticipate providing services in the Atlanta market initially. The Atlanta market is extremely competitive with over 120 competitors in the temporary staffing services business. There are over 100,000 businesses that fit into our target market of small to medium sized businesses. Additionally, due to the size of Atlanta, we may face logistical challenges in getting employees to the customer’s location.
TEMPORARY STAFFING COMPANIES EMPLOY AND PLACE PEOPLE IN THE WORKPLACES OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.
Temporary staffing companies employ and place people in the workplaces of their customers. Attendant risks of the industry include possible claims of discrimination and harassment, employment of illegal aliens, violations of occupational, health and safety, or wage and hour laws and regulations, errors and omissions of its temporary employees, misappropriation of funds or property, other criminal activity or torts and other similar claims. Temporary staffing companies also are affected by fluctuations and interruptions in the business of their customers, which could have a material adverse effect on their business, financial condition and results of operations. The temporary staffing industry may be adversely affected if Congress or state legislatures mandate specified benefits for temporary employees or otherwise impose costs and expenses on employers that increase the cost or lessen the attraction of using temporary workers.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ATTAIN PROFITABILITY WITHOUT ADDITIONAL FUNDING, WHICH MAY BE UNAVAILABLE
We have limited capital resources and require substantial capital to adequately fund the Company. To date, we have funded our operations with limited initial capital and sales of stock and have not generated any funds from operations to be profitable or to maintain consistent operations. Unless we begin to generate sufficient revenues, on a consistent basis, to sustain an ongoing business operation, we may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force us to cease operations if additional financing, under acceptable terms and conditions, is not available. We have secured a loan facility from our President and CEO, Ryan Schadel of $50,000 for funding of fees related to this offering as well as funding to open the first branch office and secure workers compensation and general liability insurance. Additionally, we are currently negotiating with several lenders for accounts receivable financing which will be critical in maintaining cash flow as we expand.
In the event our cash resources are insufficient to continue operations and once our shares are quoted on the OTCBB we intend to consider raising 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 terminate business operations. The possibility of such an outcome presents the risk of a complete loss of your investment in our common stock.
PURCHASERS IN THIS OFFERING WILL HAVE LIMITED CONTROL OVER DECISION MAKING BECAUSE THE COMPANY’S SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR CONTROLS A MAJORITY OF THE ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK
The present management owns a 93. 4 % majority of the outstanding common stock at the present time and will continue to own a majority of the outstanding common stock. As a result of such ownership, investors in this offering will have limited control over matters requiring approval by our security holders, including the election of directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions and any change of control and management of the Company. This concentrated control may also make it difficult for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of their common stock in the event the Company enters into transactions which require stockholder approval. Our sole officer and director would also have control over his own compensation.
INVESTORS MAY LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IF THE COMPANY FAILS TO IMPLEMENT ITS BUSINESS PLAN
As a development stage company, we expect to face substantial risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties. Since inception, we have no demonstrable operational history of any substance upon which you can evaluate our business and prospects. Our 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, an unstable economy, competition, the absence of ongoing revenue streams, inexperienced management, lack of sufficient capital, and lack of brand recognition. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in accomplishing our objectives.
THE COSTS, EXPENSES AND COMPLEXITY OF SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE MAY INHIBIT OR SEVERELY RESTRICT 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 these complex requirements may be substantial and require extensive consumption of our time as well as retention of expensive specialists in this area. 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 our ability to continue our operations.
THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GENERATE SUFFICIENT REVENUES TO STAY IN BUSINESS
We expect to earn revenues solely in our chosen business area. In the opinion of our management, we reasonably believe that the Company will begin to generate reasonable revenues within approximately twelve months from the date of this prospectus. However, failure to generate sufficient and consistent revenues to fully execute and adequately maintain our business plan may result in failure of our business and the loss of your investment.
COMPETITORS WITH MORE RESOURCES MAY FORCE US OUT OF BUSINESS
The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. Generally, our actual and potential competitors are larger companies with longer operating histories, greater financial and marketing resources, with superior name recognition and an entrenched client base. Therefore, many of these competitors may be able to devote greater resources to attracting customers and be able to grant preferred pricing. Competition by existing and future competitors could result in our inability to secure an adequate customer base sufficient enough to support our endeavors. We cannot be assured that we will be able to compete successfully against present or future competitors or that the competitive pressure we may face will not force us to cease operations.
YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES BECAUSE THERE IS NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR STOCK
There is no public market for our common stock. The majority of our issued and outstanding common stock is currently held by the management of the Company. Therefore, the current and potential market for our common stock is limited. In the absence of being listed, no public market is available for investors in our common stock to sell their shares. We cannot guarantee that a meaningful trading market will develop or that we will be successful in attaining listing on the OTCBB or any other market. If we are quoted on the OTCBB, there is no assurance that a market for our common shares will develop and if a market develops, there can be no assurance that the price of our shares in the market will be equal to or greater than the price per shares investors pay in this offering, which was arbitrarily determined. In fact, the price of our shares in any market that may develop could be significantly lower than the purchase price herein. Furthermore, if our stock ever becomes tradable, the trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various events or factors, many of which are or will be beyond our control. In addition, the stock market may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations without a direct relationship to the operating performance.
INVESTORS MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY LIQUIDATING THEIR INVESTMENT BECAUSE OUR STOCK WILL BE 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 rules, in part, require broker/dealers to provide penny stock investors with increased risk disclosure documents and 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 heightened disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the number of broker/dealers willing to make a market in our shares, thereby reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market that may develop for our shares. Consequently, shareholders in our securities may find it difficult to sell their securities, if at all.
WE DO NOT CURRENTLY INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK SO CONSEQUENTLY YOUR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE A RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT WILL DEPEND ON APPRECIATION IN THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
Prospective investors should not anticipate receiving any dividends from our common stock. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance our growth and development and do not plan to pay cash or stock dividends. The lack of dividend potential may discourage prospective investors from purchasing our common stock.
THE CONTINUED SALE OF OUR EQUITY SECURITIES WILL DILUTE THE OWNERSHIP PERCENTAGE OF OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS AND MAY DECREASE THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR COMMON STOCK
Given our lack of revenues and the doubtful prospect that we will earn significant revenues in the next several years, we will require additional financing which will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. In short, our continued need to sell equity will result in reduced percentage ownership interests for all of our investors, which may decrease the market price for our common stock.
ALL OF OUR PRESENTLY ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING COMMON SHARES ARE RESTRICTED UNDER RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES ACT, AS AMENDED. WHEN THE RESTRICTION ON ANY OR ALL OF THESE SHARES IS LIFTED, AND IF THE SHARES ARE SOLD IN THE OPEN MARKET, THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED
All of the presently outstanding shares of common stock are “restricted securities” as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. The SEC has adopted final rules amending Rule 144 which became effective on or about February 15, 2008. Pursuant to the new Rule 144, one year must elapse from the time a “shell company”, as defined in Rule 405, ceases to be a “shell company” and files Form 10 information with the SEC, before a restricted shareholder can resell their holdings in reliance on Rule 144. Form 10 information is equivalent to information that a company would be required to file if it were registering a class of securities on Form 10 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Under the amended Rule 144, restricted or unrestricted securities that were initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company or an Issuer that has at any time previously been a reporting or non-reporting shell company as defined in Rule 405, can only be resold in reliance on Rule 144 if the following conditions are met: (1) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a reporting or non-reporting shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (2) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (3) the issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or shorter period that the Issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (4) at least one year has elapsed from the time the issuer filed the current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOMINAL ASSETS AND NO REVENUE, WE ARE CONSIDERED A "SHELL COMPANY" AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO MORE STRINGENT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As such, we are a “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, and as such, sales of our securities pursuant to Rule 144 are not able to be made until 1) we have ceased to be a “shell company"; 2) we are subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and, 3) have filed all of our required periodic reports for at least the previous one year period prior to any sale pursuant to Rule 144; and a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 information” has been filed with the Commission reflecting the Company’s status as a non-“shell company.” If less than 12 months has elapsed since the Company ceases being a “shell company”, then only registered securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. Therefore, any restricted securities we sell in the future or issue to consultants or employees, in consideration for services rendered or for any other purpose will have no liquidity until and unless such securities are registered with the Commission and/or until a year after we cease to be a “shell company” and have complied with the other requirements of Rule 144, as described above. As a result, it may be harder for us to fund our operations and pay our consultants with our securities instead of cash. Furthermore, it will be harder for us to raise funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities with the Commission, which could cause us to expend additional resources in the future. Our status as a “shell company” could prevent us from raising additional funds, engaging consultants, and using our securities to pay for any acquisitions (although none are currently planned), which could cause the value of our securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless. Lastly, any shares held by affiliates, including shares received in any registered offering, will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144(i).
THE COMPANY MAY LOSE ITS TOP MANAGEMENT WITHOUT EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Our operations depend substantially on the skills, knowledge and experience of the present management. The Company has no other full or part-time individuals devoted to the development of our Company. Furthermore, the Company does not maintain key man life insurance. Without an employment contract, we may lose the present management of the Company to other pursuits without a sufficient warning and, consequently, we may be forced to terminate our operations.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO GENERATE SUSTAINABLE REVENUE WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL SALES, MARKETING OR DISTRIBUTION CAPABILITIES
The Company has not substantially commenced its planned business strategy and does not have any significant sales or marketing capabilities in place yet. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to develop a sales and marketing plan or effective operational capabilities. In the event we are unable to successfully implement these objectives, we may be unable to continue operations.
BLUE SKY LAWS MAY LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO SELL YOUR SHARES. IF THE STATE LAWS ARE NOT FOLLOWED, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES AND YOU MAY LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT
State Blue Sky laws may limit resale of the shares offered in this prospectus. The holders of our shares of common stock and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future should be aware that there may be significant state law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our shares. We are unsure at this time in what state or states we intend to offer and sell the shares of common stock offered hereby. However, we will not make any offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted.
FOR ALL THE AFOREMENTIONED REASONS THE SHARES OFFERED HEREIN INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. ANY PERSON CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES SHOULD BE AWARE OF THESE RISKS AND OTHER FACTORS SET-FORTH IN THIS MEMORANDUM AND SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS/HER LEGAL, TAX AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY. THESE SHARES SHOULD ONLY BE PURCHASED BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE ALL OF THEIR INVESTMENT.
ITEM 4 – USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the securities offered through this Prospectus by the selling security holders.
ITEM 5 – DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
COMMON EQUITY
As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public market for our common stock. The offering price of the common stock has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value and should not be considered an indication of the actual value of our company or our shares of common stock. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, historical earnings or net worth. In determining the offering price, management considered such factors as the prospects, if any, for similar companies, anticipated results of operations, present financial resources, the general conditions of the securities market and the likelihood of acceptance of this offering. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business. We cannot assure you that a public market for our securities will develop or continue or that the securities will ever trade at a price higher than the offering price. The price of the common stock that will prevail in any market that develops after the offering, if any, may be higher or lower than the price you paid. There is no assurance that an active market will ever develop in our securities. You may not be able to resell any shares you purchase in this offering. Our common stock has never been traded on any exchange or market prior to this offering.
WARRANTS, RIGHTS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES
There are no warrants, rights or convertible securities being offered in this prospectus.
ITEM 6 – DILUTION
All of the shares of our common stock to be sold by the selling security holders are currently issued and outstanding, and will therefore not cause dilution to any of our existing stockholders.
ITEM 7 – SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The common shares being offered for resale by the selling security holders consist of a total of 1,045,000 shares of our common stock held by the selling stockholders as of November 14 , 2011. Such shareholders include the 33 holders of the 8 45,000 shares sold in our private offering pursuant to Regulation D Rule 506 completed in July 2011 at an offering price of $0.02 and one individual who purchased 200,000 shares at a price of $.0025 ..
All of the transactions were transactions by the Company not involving any public offering as required by the exemption provided from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As such, no advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering any of the securities by the Company. All certificates evidencing the securities issued in such transactions will bear restrictive legends as securities issued in non-registered transactions that may only be resold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. The applicable subscription documents relating to such transactions contained acknowledgments by the purchaser of such securities that the securities being acquired have not been registered, were restricted securities, could only be resold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the certificates evidencing such securities would bear restrictive legends. In all of the transactions no principal underwriters were used.
The following table sets forth the name of the selling security holders, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders as of November 14 , 2011 and the number of shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders. The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling stockholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time
to time. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the selling stockholders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus. All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders.
None of the selling shareholders is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer. Each of the selling shareholders has acquired his, her or its shares pursuant to a private placement solely for investment and not with a view to or for resale or distribution of such securities. The shares were offered and sold to the selling shareholders in a private placement, pursuant to the exemption from the registration under the Securities Act provided by section 3(b) of the Securities Act. None of the selling shareholders are affiliates or controlled by our affiliates and none of the selling shareholders are now or were at any time in the past an officer or Director of ours or of any of our predecessors or affiliates. The percentages below are calculated based on 16,045,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. We do not have any outstanding options, warrants or other securities presently exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock.

1) presumes all shares being registered are sold by the selling shareholders
There are no agreements between the company and any selling shareholder pursuant to which the shares subject to this registration statement were issued.
To our knowledge, none of the selling shareholders or their beneficial owners:
| | |
- | has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years; or |
- | has ever been one of our officers or directors or an officer or director of our predecessors or affiliates | |
None of the selling shareholders: (1) has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years; or (2) has ever been one of our officers or directors.
ITEM 8 – PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering 1,045,000 shares of common stock on behalf of the selling security holders. The selling security holders will sell their shares at a fixed price of $0.02 per share until our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
No public market currently exists for our common stock. We intend to apply to have our common stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. This process usually takes at least 60 days and an application must be made on our behalf by a market maker. We have not yet engaged a market maker to make the application. If we are unable to obtain a market maker for our securities, we will be unable to develop a trading market for our common stock.
Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company's operations or business prospects. The OTC Bulletin Board should not be confused with the NASDAQ market. OTC Bulletin Board companies are subject to far less restrictions and regulations than companies whose securities are traded on the NASDAQ market. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and the trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like the NASDAQ Small Cap or a stock exchange. In the absence of an active trading market investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations for our common stock and its market visibility may be limited, which may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
There is no assurance that our common stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. We do not currently meet the existing requirements to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and we cannot assure you that we will ever meet these requirements.
The selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares of our common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:
| |
● | on such public markets as the securities may be trading; |
| |
● | in privately negotiated transactions; or |
| |
● | in any combination of these methods of distribution. |
The selling security holders may offer our common stock to the public:
| |
● | at an initial offering price of $0.02 per share until a market develops; |
| |
● | at the market price prevailing at the time of sale; |
| |
● | at a price related to such prevailing market price; or |
| |
● | at such other price as the selling security holders determine. |
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of our common stock. The selling security holders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of our common stock.
The selling security holders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in the offer and sale of our common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling security holders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of any securities, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable laws and may, among other things:
| |
● | furnish each broker or dealer through which our common stock may be offered such copies of this Prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; |
| |
● | not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our securities; and |
| |
● | not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act. |
The selling security holders and any underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of our common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any commissions or concessions received by any such underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Our common stock may be sold from time to time by the selling security holders in one or more transactions at a fixed offering price, which may be changed, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. We may indemnify any underwriter against specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The selling security holders and any broker-dealers acting in connection with the sale of the common stock offered under this Prospectus may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on the resale of shares as principals may be deemed underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. Neither we nor the selling security holders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling security holders and any other security holder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of our common stock. Because the selling security holders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the selling security holders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Each selling security holder has advised us that they have not yet entered into any agreements, understandings, or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares. We may indemnify any underwriter against specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Regulation M
During such time as the selling security holders may be engaged in a distribution of any of the securities being registered by this Prospectus, the selling security holders are required to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security that is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.
Regulation M defines a “distribution” as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a “distribution participant” as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution.
Regulation M prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. We have informed the selling security holders that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M may apply to the sales of their shares offered by this Prospectus, and we have also advised the selling security holders of the requirements for delivery of this Prospectus in connection with any sales of the shares offered by this Prospectus.
With regard to short sales, the selling security holders cannot cover their short sales with securities from this offering. In addition, if a short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the selling security holders will not be permitted to engage such an activity. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of our common stock.
Penny Stock Rules
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which:
| |
● | contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
| |
● | contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violations of such duties or other requirements of federal securities laws; |
| |
● | contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices; |
| |
● | contains the toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
| |
● | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and |
| |
● | contains such other information, and is in such form (including language, type size, and format) as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. |
Prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer must also provide a customer with:
| |
● | the bid and ask prices for the penny stock; |
| |
● | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; |
| |
● | the amount and a description of any compensation that the broker-dealer and its associated salesperson will receive in connection with the transaction; and |
| |
● | a monthly account statement indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our securities, and therefore security holders may have difficulty selling their shares.
Blue Sky Restrictions on Resale
When a selling security holder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this registration statement in the United States, the selling security holder will also need to comply with state securities laws, also known as “blue sky laws,” with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemptions from registration of secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor’s. The broker for a selling security holder will be able to advise the security holder as to which states have an exemption for secondary sales of our common stock.
Any person who purchases shares of our common stock from a selling security holder pursuant to this Prospectus, and who subsequently wishes to resell such shares will also have to comply with blue sky laws regarding secondary sales.
When this Prospectus becomes effective, and a selling security holder indicates in which state(s) he wishes to sell his shares, we will be able to identify whether he will need to register or may rely on an exemption from registration.
ITEM 9 – DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
CAPITAL STOCK
Labor Smart Inc is authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. The Company is not authorized to issue any preferred stock. As of November 14 , 2011 there are 16,045,000 common shares issued and outstanding.
The holders of Labor Smart Inc’s common stock:
| | |
| 1. | Have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors; |
| 2. | Are entitled to share ratably in all of assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution, or otherwise winding up of corporate affairs; |
| | |
| 3. | Do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and |
| 4. | Are entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote. |
Common Stock
The Company has issued 16,045,000 shares of common stock to date held by 35 shareholders of record.
All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid for and non-assessable and all shares of common stock which are the subject of this offering, when issued, will be validly issued, fully paid for, non-assessable and free of preemptive rights.
Preferred Stock
No preferred stock has been authorized.
The Company has no current plans to either authorize or issue any preferred stock nor adopt any series, preferences or other classification of any stock. The Board of Directors may be authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of any authorized preferred stock in series and by filing a certificate pursuant to the laws of Nevada, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, all without any further vote or action by the stockholders. Any shares of issued preferred stock may have priority over the common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the company without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable the holder to block such a transaction, or facilitate a business combination by including voting rights that would provide a required percentage vote of the stockholders. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock. Although the Board of Directors is required to make any determination to issue such stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of stockholders, the Board of Directors could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that potentially some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. The Board of Directors does not at present intend to seek stockholder approval prior to any issuance of any authorized stock, unless otherwise required by our bylaws, law of general applicability or stock exchange rules.
Preemptive Rights
No holder of any shares of Labor Smart Inc’s stock has preemptive or preferential rights to acquire or subscribe to any unissued shares of any class of stock or any unauthorized securities convertible into or carrying any right, option or warrant to subscribe for or acquire shares of any class of stock not disclosed herein.
Non-Cumulative Voting
Holders of Labor Smart Inc common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors.
Dividend Policy
As of the date of this prospectus, Labor Smart Inc has never declared nor paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon earnings, if any, capital requirements, our financial position, general economic conditions, and other factors deemed pertinent by the Board of Directors. The Company does not anticipate declaring any stock or cash dividends on our common and preferred (should any be issued) stock in the foreseeable future.
Market Information
There is no publically traded market for our stock.
Effect of Penny Stock
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 of a format prepared by the SEC 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 heightened disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the number of broker/dealers willing to make a market in our shares, reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market that may develop for our shares, and accordingly, customers in our securities may find it difficult to sell their securities.
Reports
After this offering, Labor Smart Inc will make available to its shareholders annual financial reports certified by independent Accountants, and may, at its discretion, furnish unaudited quarterly financial reports. Additionally, if our registration statement becomes effective pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we will be subject to the reporting obligations of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act.

Description of BusinessPrincipal Services and Their Markets
Labor Smart, Inc. provides temporary blue-collar staffing services. It will supply general laborers on demand to the light industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing, skilled trades’ people and general laborers to commercial construction industries. Our strategy will be to establish branch offices in the markets we wish to serve. Temporary employees will report to these branch offices on a daily basis. As we grow our client base, we will dispatch our temporary employees to the client work sites daily. Most, if not all of our temporary employees will be paid by us on a daily basis. Our clients will be billed weekly. This dynamic may cause capital shortages and negative cash flow as we expect the average client to pay their invoice 30-45 days after we have billed them.
We intend to open branch offices in cities that have a high concentration of businesses. We currently have no branch offices and are researching the potential locations for these offices.
Branch offices are locations where workers and prospective workers report prior to being assigned to jobs. Each morning, a branch manager will coordinate incoming customer work orders and assign the available workers to the job openings for the day. Prior to dispatch, a branch employee checks to make sure workers have the basic safety equipment required for the job, such as boots, back braces, hard hats, or safety goggles, all of which are provided at no charge to the worker or the customer.
The workers are provided with a work order that each worker must present at the branch office in order to receive payment for the hours worked. Workers are generally paid daily or weekly by check. Software used by each branch office will perform the calculations necessary to determine the wages, taxes and applicable withholdings, and print security controlled checks
Employment applications are taken throughout the day for potential new temporary employees. Applications are used to facilitate workers compensation safeguards and quality control systems by permitting the Company to test for alcohol or drugs in case of work-related illness or injury, to obtain a signed "Condition of Employment" statement, and to comply with government required proof of eligibility to work in the United States.
The Company's potential customers will primarily be small to medium sized businesses that require employees on a short term, temporary basis for various tasks such as loading or unloading trucks, janitorial cleanup, or packing. Our
target customers are businesses in construction, warehousing, and light manufacturing industries but may also include retail, event services, and disaster response businesses.
The Company will have a credit policy, which allows new customers to establish an account with a $2,000 initial credit limit. Temporary employees may be dispatched to a new customer's job site when a credit application, rate quote, and conditions of service is completed and signed. Thereafter, the Company obtains credit reports and bank references to evaluate whether additional credit is justified. Customers must pay invoices due within 45 days to prevent a disruption in service.
Each branch office is responsible for its own sales and marketing efforts. The general manager is primarily responsible for customer service and sales, but all branch employees participate in the sales process. Each branch office will maintain databases of area businesses for telemarketing and direct mail in addition to face to face sales calls at the potential customer’s location.
The Company is responsible for withholding of FICA, Medicare, and federal, state, and, where applicable, city and county payroll taxes from its temporary workers for disbursement to governmental agencies. Additionally, the Company pays federal and state unemployment insurance premiums and workers ‘compensation expenses for its temporary employees.
The Company will attract its temporary workers through flyers, newspaper advertisements, and word of mouth.
Branch employees such as the Branch Manager will be recruited through a 3rd party firm or through the Company’s own recruiting efforts such as advertising and word of mouth.
We are currently conducting demographic research in 5 major cities, Atlanta GA, Augusta GA, Nashville TN, Chattanooga TN, and Birmingham AL. We anticipate providing services in the Atlanta market initially. The Atlanta market is extremely competitive with over 120 competitors in the temporary staffing services business. There are over 100,000 businesses that fit into our target market of small to medium sized businesses. Additionally, due to the size of Atlanta, we may face logistical challenges in getting employees to the customers location.

Sales and Marketing Strategy
Labor Smart, Inc will market its services through networking, field sales calls, telemarketing, and direct mail. It is our belief that building a solid client base is best established through building relationships with the decision makers at our clients place of business. Our primary source of generating sales leads will be through field sales calls. This provides us the opportunity to visit prospective clients in their work environment, which we believe will increase our chances of doing business with them. In addition to field sales calls, we expect to purchase call lists for telemarketing and direct mail purposes. There can be no guarantee that any of these tactics will produce results as prospective clients will most likely already be doing business with one of our competitors. Our challenge will be to illustrate how Labor Smart is different from those competitors.
Dependence upon One or a Few Major Customers
Labor Smart Inc will not rely upon one or just a few customers. Management believes that the services will have a broad public appeal.
Need for Government Approval on Principal Products or Services
The company is not aware of any government approval required for states it intends to do business.
Existing or Probable Government Regulations
The Company is not aware of any specific regulatory obstacles to our business plan. That is not to say that we are not generally aware of the multitude of rules, statutes and administrative regulations that may apply, including, but not limited to, local business licenses and regulations. However, we do not foresee these as prohibiting the implementation of our business plan, but merely as temporary administrative obstacles that will be addressed and overcome as they arise, or as best we can forecast their arrival.
Research and Development
No future research and development is anticipated at this time.
Compliance with Environmental Laws
Labor Smart Inc does not conduct any activities requiring compliance with any federal, state or local environmental
statutes or regulations.
Number of Employees
The Company presently has four fulltime employees. Our sole officer and director is working full time.
Labor Smart Inc is currently in the development stage. During this development period, we plan to rely exclusively on the services of Mr. Schadel to establish business operations and perform or supervise the minimal services required at this time. Our operations are currently on a small scale and, it is believed, manageable by the present management. The responsibilities are mainly administrative at this time, as our operations are minimal.
Anticipated Material Changes in Number of Employees
We do not anticipate any material change in the number of employees in the foreseeable future.
Acquisition or Disposition of Any Material Assets
The Company does not anticipate any acquisition or disposition of any material assets.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
427 Lafayette St, Nashville, TN 37203

We do not presently hold any investments or interests in real estate, investments in real estate mortgages, or securities or interests in businesses or individuals primarily engaged in real estate activities.

MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDENDS ON REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public market in Labor Smart Inc’s common stock. This prospectus is a step toward creating a public market for our stock, which may enhance the liquidity of our shares. However, there can be no assurance that a meaningful trading market will develop. Labor Smart Inc and its management make no representation about the present or future value of our common stock.
As of the date of this prospectus,
| | |
| 1. | There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or other instruments convertible into, common equity of Labor Smart Inc; |
| | |
| 2. | There are currently 16,045,000 shares of our common stock issued and held by 35 shareholders of record. These shares are not eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act; |
| | |
| 3. | Other than the stock registered under this Registration Statement, there is no stock that has been proposed to be publicly offered resulting in dilution to current shareholders. |
All of the presently outstanding shares of common stock are “restricted securities” as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. The SEC has adopted final rules amending Rule 144 which became effective on or about February 15, 2008. Pursuant to the new Rule 144, one year must elapse from the time a “shell company”, as defined in Rule 405, ceases to be a “shell company” and files Form 10 information with the SEC, before a restricted shareholder can resell their holdings in reliance on Rule 144. Form 10 information is equivalent to information that a company would be required to file if it were registering a class of securities on Form 10 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Under the amended Rule 144, restricted or unrestricted securities, that were initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company or an Issuer that has at any time previously a reporting or non-reporting shell company as defined in Rule 405, can only be resold in reliance on Rule 144 if the following conditions are met: (1) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a reporting or non-reporting shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (2) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (3) the issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding
twelve months (or shorter period that the Issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (4) at least one year has elapsed from the time the issuer filed the current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
Dividends
The Company has neither declared nor paid any cash dividends. For the foreseeable future, the Company does not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends. The Company intends to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of its business, and, as such, does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its preferred or common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects, and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
The Company has not authorized any securities for issuance under any equity compensation plan.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section should be read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements included in this prospectus.
Plan of Operation
Labor Smart Inc was incorporated on May 31, 2011 in the State of Nevada, under the same name. As of the date of this document, we have generated no revenues. Please review the Audited Financial Statements included with the offering. Since incorporation, we have financed our operations primarily through minimal initial capitalization.
Our plan is to open branch offices, initially focusing on the Southeast US. These offices will provide temporary employees to small and medium sized businesses for various short term focused tasks. We must still attain workers compensation insurance and general liability insurance, which we are currently researching. We anticipate having our first branch office open by November 2011 in the Atlanta GA market. Prior to opening a new branch office, we will conduct market research and recruit for a Branch Manager. The Branch Manager will receive initial and ongoing training relating to branch operations and sales. The Branch Manager will focus initially on sales calls to construction and event services businesses. Generally, we expect a branch generate revenue in the first week open.
We expect a 6 month timeline for a branch to become profitable, and a cost of $35,000 to open and maintain a branch before it reaches break even. Our branch opening schedule will be based on available capital resources and performance of branches in operation. We project full year sales of $900,000 per branch, generating $180,000 in gross margin. Our margins may be pressure by competitive forces. Of course there can be no assurance these goals will be achieved.
To date we have not implemented our planned principal operations. The realization of revenues in the next 12 months is critically important in the execution of our plan of operations. However, we cannot guarantee that we will generate such growth. If we do not produce sufficient cash flow to support our operations over the next 12 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 cannot assure any investor that, if needed, sufficient financing can be obtained or, if available, that it will be available on reasonable terms. Without realization of additional capital, if needed, it would be unlikely for operations to continue.
Labor Smart Inc’s management does not expect to conduct any research and development.
Labor Smart Inc currently does not own any significant plant facilities or equipment that it would seek to refinance or sell in the near future. The Company does not envision purchasing any significant equipment in the near future.
Liquidity
The term “liquidity” as used herein refers to the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the enterprise’s needs for cash. At the present time, our available cash is not sufficient to allow us to commence full execution of our business plan. The Company has minimal cash on hand and no ability to generate cash without the sale of its equity. We have secured a $50,000 loan from our President and CEO, Ryan Schadel, the details of which are provided as an exhibit to this amended registration statement for funding of fees related to this offering as well as funding to open the first branch office and secure workers compensation and general liability insurance. Additionally, we are currently negotiating with several lenders for accounts receivable financing which will be critical in maintaining cash flow as we expand. At the present time there is no official loan agreement between the company and Mr. Schadel.
Until our marketing plans are fully implemented, we are not able to quantify with any certainty any planned capital expenditures including the hiring of employees.
Capital Resources
The Company has no commitments for capital expenditures as of the latest fiscal period.
As of November 14, 2011 the company has raised $32,400 from the sale of its common shares and $50,000 in the form of a loan from Mr. Schadel.
Results of Operations
Since inception, we have generated $0 in revenues and have incurred a net loss of $ 18,400 as reflected in the financial statements contained within this registration statement.
