We were incorporated on March 20, 2013 under the laws of the state of Delaware. We plan to develop a website that will offer comprehensive online computer programming courses for anyone with any level of computer programming knowledge, from beginners to experts. We will offer courses for all major computer programming languages, such as: C#, .NET, C++, C, Objective C, Java, JavaScript, HTML, ASP, XML, JQuery, PHP, Flash, Python, SQL, PERL, VB.NET, AJAX, CSS and all Microsoft Office Products. Our video courses will be developed and taught by seasoned teachers with extensive experience in the computer programming fields. We plan on initially hiring three teachers to teach the computer programming courses.

We plan to generate revenue by charging our clients $99.00 per month for access to our website and its resources. Additional revenue will be earned by charging a flat fee of $299.99 for special courses on android and iphone app development. 

We are currently a development stage company. Since inception, our operations are mostly limited to forming the Company and raising capital resource. We have only begun to generate revenue. We require additional capital to implement our business and fund our operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis “on page 28.

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The Company’s principal executive office and mailing address is 248 Hewes Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211. Our telephone number is 718-521-6949. The company’s website is www.swiftstart.net.

OUR BUSINESS

We were incorporated on March 20, 2013 under the laws of the state of Delaware. We plan to develop a website that will offer comprehensive online computer programming courses for anyone with any level of computer programming knowledge, from beginners to experts. We will offer courses for all major computer programming languages, such as: C#, .NET, C++, C, Objective C, Java, JavaScript, HTML, ASP, XML, JQuery, PHP, Flash, Python, SQL, PERL, VB.NET, AJAX, CSS and all Microsoft Office Products. Our video courses will be developed and taught by seasoned teachers with extensive experience in the computer programming fields. We plan on initially hiring three teachers to teach the computer programming courses.

Students will pay a fee of $99.00 per month for access to the website and its resources. After students have completed an online course, they will be directed to take a test. Upon passing this test, they will receive a certification from the Company, evidencing their completion of the course. Given the high demand for employees with computer programming training, this certification could prove to be a valuable asset to employers in today’s market.

In addition to the computer programming languages taught, we will also offer special online courses on android and iphone app development for a one-time fee of $299.99.

In November 2013 we hired a teacher to give live lessons via Skype.. In January 2014, three students signed up for a twelve month plan, generating $3,564 in revenue. Over the first several months in 2014, we will continue to provide live lessons via Skype so as to have a revenue stream. These Skype sessions will generally be limited to five students so as to provide students with attention and top quality customer service. At this time we are interviewing candidates for two additional teacher positions. We plan on making selections and hiring in April 2014. As part of our long term business plan, these teachers will record classes that will be available to students at any time via our platform.

Target Market

We plan to target the general public as the video lessons will be suitable for all levels of programming, from beginners to advanced programmers.

Marketing and Sales

At this early stage of our operation, our President and Secretary are expected to handle all marketing and sales efforts. These efforts will primarily be through a word of mouth and social media campaign. We are currently in talks with several marketing firms to help us promote and advertise our business. Within  our first year of operation, we hope to have generated enough revenue to develop a marketing campaign to promote and publicize our website and service.  

We now have a functioning website (www.swiftstart.net) and have begun accepting information inquiries via email.

Competition

There are a number of companies that offer online computer programming training. Our main competitors are Code School (www.codeschool.com), Learn Street (www.learnstreet.com), CodeHS (www.codehs.com), PluralSight (http://pluralsight.com), and Tutsplus (https://tutsplus.com). These competitors offer a smaller selection of programming languages than we plan on offering to our clients.

Strategic Alliances

We have no strategic alliances at this time.

Services Pricing

Swift Start will charge a monthly fee of $99.00 for access the Company’s website and the courses it provides. There will be an additional fee of $299.99 for an online course on android and iphone app development.

Most courses will take up to six months to complete, depending on the time each student commits to the video lessons. We will encourage students to take multiple courses in order to give them a comprehensive background in programming.

We will try to encourage students to sign up for our courses for a 12 month period up front. However, we will also allow students to pay on a month-to-month basis.

Employees

Apart from our founding officers, we have hired one employee.

The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.

Plan of Operations

We have commenced limited operations and our proposed business plan is not yet fully operational. Currently, we have three clients and are working on cultivating more and growing the business.

Swift Start Corp. is in the business of providing online courses for computer programming. In November 2013, we began providing online private lessons before the permanent website is completed. This allowed us to begin to establish a customer base immediately. We currently have a functioning website, www.swiftstart.net, and will continue to develop it over the next four to six months. In the next twelve months, we hope to have created enough revenue to start a major ad campaign to promote our website and service.

We are a development stage company, and to date, our development efforts have been focused primarily on the development and marketing of our business model. In addition, to date we have limited operating history for investors to evaluate the potential of our business development. As such, we have not built our customer base or our brand name. In addition, our sources of cash are not adequate for the next 12 months of operations. If we are unable to raise additional cash, we will either have to suspend or cease our expansion plans entirely.

Limited Operating History

We have generated no independent financial history and have not previously demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods.

Results of Operations

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We have been funding our operations through the sale of our common stock.

Our primary uses of cash have been for fees paid to third parties for the development of our products. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business and establishing our brand. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

Our net revenues are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses. At December 31, 2013, we had a cash balance of $15,503 and working capital of $15,503. Since inception, we have raised $34,000. We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We may be required to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to generate positive cash flow as a result of our operations.   We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for up to 12 months. Other than working capital, we presently have no other alternative source of working capital. We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. We do not anticipate we will be profitable in 2014.  Therefore our future operations will be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing.  Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly

Our business plan within 12 months is outlined below:

In March 2014, we will provide online private lessons before the permanent website is completed. This will allow us to begin to establish a customer base immediately before our website is completed.

In the next four to six months, we plan to have our permanent website, www.swiftstart.net, up and running and fully operational. We will advertise our business on the Internet and in major newspapers. We also intend to hire two or three customer service agents who will act as sales representatives to answer phone call inquiries as well as consult clients on the different membership plans we offer.

In the next seven to nine months, we plan to upgrade our website by adding a social networking component, including live chat rooms for members to ask and answer each other’s questions, as well as provide insight on their progress in the courses they are taking.

In the next twelve months, we hope to have created enough revenue to initiate a nationwide advertising campaign to promote our website and service.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Basis of Accounting

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 fiscal year end.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

As of December 31, 2013, the carrying value of loans that are required to be measured at fair value, approximated fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.

Revenue recognition 

The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with ASC No. 605-10-S99, (SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”), when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Deferred revenues primarily include unearned amounts received from customers but not recognized as revenues.

Income Taxes

A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

When required, the Company records a liability for unrecognized tax positions, defined as the aggregate tax effect of differences between positions taken on tax returns and the benefits recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. No tax benefits are recognized for positions that do not meet this threshold. The Company has no uncertain tax positions that require the Company to record a liability. The federal income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they are filed.

Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.

Director Independence and Board Committees

We do not have any independent directors on our board of directors. Our board of directors solely consists of Shaul Martin, our Chief Executive Officer, and Benyamin Anshin, a founding member of the Board with 2,000,000 Company shares , who are both not independent. Our board of directors does not have any committees. However, if, at such time in the future, we appoint independent directors on our board we expect to form the appropriate board committees.

We currently do not have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee.  Our board of directors handles functions that would otherwise be handled by each of the committees.  We believe that there is not a need for a nominating committee at this time because our board of directors consists of solely one director who is not independent and who is the only decision maker. At such point when we have independent board of directors we will need to establish a nomination committee.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. We intend to adopt a Code of Ethics as we develop our business.

Compliance with Section 16(A) of the Exchange Act.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are required to furnish copies to the Company. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, any reports required to be filed were timely filed in fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation.

The following summary compensation table sets forth all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to the named executive officers paid by us during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013:

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

Option Grants Table

There were no individual grants of stock options to purchase our common stock made to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Aggregated Option Exercises and Fiscal Year-End Option Value Table.

There were no stock options exercised during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 by the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table.

Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) Awards Table

There were no awards made to a named executive officer in the last completed fiscal year under any LTIP.

Compensation of Directors

Directors are permitted to receive fixed fees and other compensation for their services as directors. The Board of Directors has the authority to fix the compensation of directors. No amounts have been paid to, or accrued to, directors in such capacity.

Employment Agreements

Currently, we do not have any employment agreements in place with our officers and directors.

Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

The following table provides the names and addresses of each person known to us to own more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2013, and by the officers and directors, individually and as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, all shares are owned directly and the shareholders listed possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

21

We do not have any independent directors. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination.  NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.  The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

None.

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

We do not have an audit committee.  Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.

The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records addressing the percentage of pre-approved audit fees.  However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

23
