Taka is transaction was done in this industry. Most of the raw material is collected from China. Our company want to be a leading position of this industry.3. The Opportunity, Industry & MarketThe Opportunity
In our country home appliances repair business has a great opportunity. At now all the home appliances have a separate repair center or store. Here have a market gap. Because there have no repair center or store where all the home appliances like computer, mobile phone, television, Air condition, Refrigerator, Washing machine, Micro oven and many more are repair or service in a single floor or store. So where have a good opportunity to establish a store where all the home appliances are repair in a single floor or store.The Industry
The main barriers to entry in this industry is general people are depend on their well known technician who are already did service their product. Most of the people are take that type of service with well known technician or store. So that is the main barrier to entry in this industry. The main customers of this industry is mid level income customer and as well as the high level of the society. Because the user of the home appliances is mainly that two types of customers. The bargaining power is available in the market because there have lots of small home service appliances repair store in all over the county. But like our business that have none of them. Our business has strong backward supplies integration. That makes us inspire to provide all type of repair service in a single store. Our main competitors are lots of small home service appliances repair store in all over the county. They are highly experience and technical well known but their service is not quality full like us. It is a great competitive advantage of our business. The major changes affecting the industry are quick change of home appliances technology in the competitive market. Sometimes old technologies parts are not available in the market because the mother company was stopping the production of that product.The Market
The total size of the market is not as big as compare to others product in our country. But it is a 500 cr. market in our country. The growing rate of that market is not so fast, but it is not so slow. It is an average growing market. Our Target is capture major percentage share of the total market. The major trends in the target market are consumer want a good quality full service that makes him/her tension free in the future. Now a day consumers are change their habit. They want on stop service center. We respect to consumers habit and provide on stop service in our store. As Bangladesh is a developing country, so that day by day people are more dependable on the electronic product. So demand of the repair service business is increase rapidly. 4. Strategy
The company follows the niche marketing strategy. This is a servicing center where customers get service on different electronic device not only that, also different companies will be served on their verities electronic device. So the target customer will be the entire market. The servicing not only targets the niche or a segment of market. It serves both house hold and companies. The servicing center serve the entire market because there are all types of servicing department like mobile phone, air condition, Television, Camera, Washing matching, Printing matching, Sound system, Computer, CPU, Fan, Fridge and so on. People will get all kind of electronic service from this servicing unit.
Now a days we cannot live a single moment without that different type of electronic device. Overall in Bangladeshi are dependent on electronic device. Thats why in Bangladesh is full of electronic device. People face different types of problem regarding their electrical device. An electronic device may face problems and then they find servicing center but in Bangladesh there is not enough and expert operators in servicing center. So when Customer will know about that center besides they will get better service from our center, they will be satisfied. And customer create believe in their mind about our servicing center. Like this if we are able to provide good service quality then we will be able to reach much of customer.
The Unique about the Business:

Customer will get all electronic device servicing facilities in one place.
Customer will get better service on their device.
To bring device for receiving and delivery customer will get transportation facilities.

The value we are creating for our customers is providing the best quality service in a reasonable price with a specific time period delivery. The offering different from of our competitors is that we provide all types of service in a single floor or store and we also give a warranty that makes you tension free in future use of your product.
5. Business Model
The sources of revenue:
Our sources of revenue are providing service and sell spare parts. This is our main sources of revenue. We main revenue earning part is service point. We know that all the products are not creating the same value or revenue. Some are making high, some are average and rest of the will moderate. We cover our lose item with the high revenue items. We SWOT out our product and make it important so that revenue will not stop ever.
The major cost involve in generating the revenue:
The major cost involves in generating the revenue is Operation cost and Human Resource Management cost. We run a big store so fair of the store, electricity cost of the store, raw material like spare parts of the store needs a big amount of cost. Human Resource is big asset for our company. It is a competitive advantage of our company. To maintain the Human Resource need a big fixed cost. So this two fixed cost is major cost. That major cost is also involved in generating the revenue.
The investments requirement to get the business up and running:
Businesses that are beyond the startup phase and already have revenues coming in, a venture-capital investment may be appropriate. Fast-growth companies with an exit strategy already in place can gain up to invest, network and grow their company quickly.
"The benefit of venture-capital investors to a startup is that they can help them get the money and provide them with professional management expertise," said Brian Haughty, assistant professor of finance and director of the investment center atMarist College. "Because venture capitalists focus on specific industries, they can generally offer advice to the entrepreneur on whether the product is going to fly or what they need to do to bring it to market."However, venture capitalists have a short leash when it comes to company loyalty and often look to recover their investment within a three- to five-year time window.
Our investment is initially required 1.5 cr. tk. Major cost of that investment is business setup cost its around 12000000 tk. In the setup cost have store decoration, Central Air-condition system, furniture and electric wiring cost. Our second biggest cost is advance rent payment of the floor. It is 5 lac each moth of 6 months 30 lac taka. Rest of the money is need for promotional activities and government permission or registration cost.
Every moth we need 1360160 tk. fixed costs for running the business. We need 500000 tk. for rent of the place, 40000 to 50000 tk. thousand for electric bills and rest of the, money need other operation cost. Our Monthly Revenue Break-even point is 1422160 tk.The critical success factors and assumptions for making the profit model work:ObjectiveCandidate Critical Success Factors

Target Market:
Our market target is those classified customer:
Upper level
Upper-Medium
Medium
For market competitors Lots of Small Electric product repair service stores in the Bangladesh.Market Positioning:
A positioning statement is a concise description of my target market as well as a compelling picture of how I want that market to perceive my brand. Though it may read like something from my promotional materials, my positioning statement is an internal tool. Every product and marketing decision I make regarding my brand has to align with and support my positioning statement. A good positioning statement is a guidepost for my marketing efforts. It helps me maintain focus on my brand and its value proposition while I work on market strategy and tactics.
A Guideline that I will follow for Good Positioning Statements
It is simple, memorable, and tailored to the target market.
It provides an unmistakable and easily understood picture of my brand that differentiates it from my competitors.
It is credible, and my brand can deliver on its promise.
My brand can be the sole occupier of this particular position in the market. I can own it.
It helps me evaluate whether or not marketing decisions are consistent with and supportive of my brand.
It leaves room for growth.
Pricing Strategy:
One of the most difficult, yet important, issues I must decide as an entrepreneur is how much to charge for my product or service. While there is no one single right way to determine my pricing strategy, fortunately there are some guidelines that will help me with my decision.Before I get to the actual pricing models, here are some of the factors that I will be considered:
Positioning- How am I positioning my product in the market? Is pricing going to be a key part of that positioning? The pricing has to be consistent with the positioning. People really do hold strongly to the idea that I get what I pay for.
Demand Curve- How will my pricing affect demand? You're going to have to do some basic market research to find this out, even if it's informal. Get 10 people to answer a simple questionnaire, asking them, "Would you take this service at X price? Y price? Z price?" For a larger venture, I'll want to do something more formal, of course -- perhaps hire a market research firm. But even a sole practitioner can chart a basic curve that says that at X price, X' percentage will buy, at Y price, Y' will buy, and at Z price Z' will buy.
Cost- Calculate the fixed and variable costs associated with my service. How much is the "cost of goods", i.e., a cost associated with each item service delivered, and how much is "fixed overhead", i.e., it doesn't change unless my company changes dramatically in size? I always followed that my gross margin (price minus cost of goods) has to amply cover my fixed overhead in order for me to turn a profit. Many entrepreneurs under-estimate this and it gets them into trouble.
Short-term profit maximization- While this sounds great, it may not actually be the optimal approach for long-term profits. This approach is common in companies that are bootstrapping, as cash flow is the overriding consideration. It's also common among smaller companies hoping to attract venture funding by demonstrating profitability as soon as possible.I will also follow some additional Pricing strategy. Those are:
Short-term revenue maximization
Maximize quantity Maximize profit margin
Differentiation SurvivalNow that I have the information I need and are clear about what I am trying to achieve. I am ready to take a look at specific pricing methods to help me arrive at my actual numbers.Sales & Distribution:
Significantly increase sales through appropriate distribution channels. Successful companies will embrace new approaches and operational changes to meet these challenges. I believe that there are several key factors that drive distribution success, each of which requires attention for companies to remain competitive. These factors include:
market segmentation
product positioning
service delivery
understanding of customer needs & behaviors
cost/profitability analysis
On-line stores vs. Off-line storesYou will find it MUCH easier to get my service into On-line stores than Off-line stores. In the online stores in my company to see your all service that you take previously via your account. By your account you will also give the order of future service. Promotion Strategy:
Product promotion is one of the necessities for getting my brand in front of the public and attracting new customers. There are numerous ways to promote a product or service. Some companies use more than one method, while others may use different methods for different marketing purposes. Regardless of my company's product or service, a strong set of promotional strategies can help position my company in a favorable light with not only current customers but new ones as well.
Contests
Contests are a frequently used promotional strategy. Many contests don't even require a purchase. The idea is to promote my brand and put my logo and name in front of the public rather than make money through a hard-sell campaign. People like to win prizes. Sponsoring contests can bring attention to your product without company overtones.
Social Media
Social media websites such as Facebook and Google+ offer companies a way to promote products and services in a more relaxed environment. This is direct marketing at its best. Social networks connect with a world of potential customers that can view my company from a different perspective. Rather than seeing my company as "trying to sell" something, the social network can see a company that is in touch with people on a more personal level. This can help lessen the divide between the company and the buyer, which in turn presents a more appealing and familiar image of the company.
Service Giveaways
Service gives a ways and allowing potential customers to sample services are methods used often by companies to introduce new household products. Many of these companies sponsor in-store promotions, giving away product samples to entice the buying public into trying new products.
Customer Referral Incentive Program
The customer referral incentive program is a way to encourage current customers to refer new customers to my store. Free service, big discounts and cash back are some of the incentives I can use. This is a promotional strategy that leverages my customer base as a sales force.
After-Service Customer Surveys
Contacting customers by telephone or through the mail after a sale is a promotional strategy that puts the importance of customer satisfaction first while leaving the door open for a promotional opportunity. Skilled service people make survey calls to customers to gather information that can later be used for marketing by asking questions relating to the way the customers feel about the services they take. This serves the dual purpose of promoting my company as one that cares what the customer thinks and one that is always striving to provide the best service.
8. Operational Plan
For operating a new business there must be exist strategic & operational plan. The planning process is comprised of two key parts---strategic planning and operational planning. Strategic planning establishes an organization's long-term vision, objectives and strategies required to achieve the objectives. Operational planning is the execution phase. It outlines a framework for implementing the strategies and achieving the objectives.Strategic Plan
The strategic plan covers a three to five year time frame. Annual reviews are conducted to assess if the plan is on track and if changes are required. An analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats provides a starting point. The strategic plan identifies the performance measures used to monitor progress towards achieving the objectives. Strategic plans are developed by senior management although departments can develop their own strategic plans under the umbrella of the corporate-level plan.
SWOT Analysis:
SWOT analysis is commonly used in marketing andbusiness in general as a method of identifying opposition for a new venture or strategy. Short for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, this allows professionals to identify all of the positive and negative elements that may affect any new proposed actions. Strengths and Threats are the external factors Opportunities and Weaknesses are internal factors
Operational Plan:
Operational planning covers a one year time frame. It outlines the actions required to implement each strategy. It identifies the resources needed, responsibilities and time frames for implementing actions. Operational plans govern day-to-day business and lay the foundation for preparing the annual budget. Personal objectives are defined at this level.
Integrating Strategic and Operational Plans
The strategic plan lays the foundation for the operational plan. However, operational planning identifies strengths and weaknesses in the organization that, in turn, influence strategic direction. Neither process is developed in isolation from the other. The strategic objectives drive the programs and projects at the operational level. Without this linkage, projects cannot secure resources. Performance measures are identified at the strategic level and implemented at the operational level. Each functional area, such as customer service or manufacturing, requires an operational plan to outline actions that will achieve the desired results.
Environmental Impacts
A changing environment can render strategies obsolete. Organizations need to monitor the environment and revisit strategies as circumstances change. For example, a new competitor entering the market necessitates a strategic review to reflect this new threat. Organizations might feel that long-term planning is not appropriate in rapidly changing environments. Nevertheless, an organization will benefit by having a vision and strategic direction by identifying and capitalizing on opportunities. In some cases, the planning cycle may be shortened to allow for rapid response.
Challenges
Organizations can get bogged down in day-to-day operations. As long as sales are going well and a company is making money, management might not feel the need to change direction. The problem with operating in the here and now is that a company is not capitalizing on opportunities and will miss out on future growth. Strategic planning and successful execution keep an organization on its feet, enabling it to establish a leadership position in the market. Executives can lose touch with employees and may not have a hand on the pulse of the organization. If the strategic plan is developed in isolation, the operational level managers might not buy into the process, and the execution phase will not succeed.
9. Financial PlanI will also prepaid a financial plan for start-up cost, loss-profit yearly and monthly, Cash flow and Company Balance Sheet for a year. I am also calculating the company breakeven point. The calculation is provided in blow.
