    U n Me Garments will use print media for creating awareness to its customers, because the

    print media is the most appropriate strategy for it to reach to its target customers. Also the

    limited marketing budget does not allow it to go on large scale marketing.

    General Company Description

    Mission Statement:

    To produce innovation, value intensive products by cultivating the creativity and

    maintaining satisfied customers and set the standards, improve each day and have some

    fun

    Form of Ownership:

    This business is based on Partnership in which each partner will get 20% each. Written

    contract will be made with the help of legal advisor if any one wants to leave his shares, the

    shares will be internally divided among other four.

    Industry History:

    Readymade garment industry has emerged as one of the important small scale industries in

    Pakistan. Its products have large demand both at home and abroad. The local requirements

    of readymade garments are almost wholly met by this industry. Its exports in 1999-2000

    stood at US $ 772 million or 8.5% of the total exports.

    6

  • 7/31/2019 17341902 Business Plan

    7/35

    The readymade garment industry started in 70's in Pakistan. With the passage of time and

    industrialization, this industry expanded very rapidly. The majorities of the units making

    cotton fashion garments are medium and small-size in terms of machines, workers and

    output, with a few notable exceptions and scattered throughout Pakistan. The importance of

    this industry lies in the value it adds to indigenous raw material - cotton + blended cloth -

    thereby substantially increasing the revenue from its sale in the international market.

    Most important Strength and core Competencies:

    No Legal Barrier:

    As it is a small venture and it does not need to get registered.

    No competitors in the vicinity:

    This is competitive edge for the company to start a business in UMT hostel as no one has

    taken an initiative to start business of this nature.

    Customization:

    The main focus of the company is to provide customized products according to customer

    preferences.

    Customer service:

    The main factors of customer service in which company is going to serve customers are:

    Free home delivery

    Membership cards

    After sale services

    Friendly atmosphere

    Customization of products.

    8/35

    Variation in price

    Price will be varied according to the levels of customization. There will be no variance in

    the price of ready made products. Whereas price will be varied for customized products

    according to the size, quality and design of product

    Significant challenges the company Faces now and in the near future:

    LessCapital:

    It is a small venture and more over shareholders do not have enough capital to invest.

    Another reason is that the business is in initial stage.

    Marketing:

    Due to limited capital and shortages of budgets, it is not possible to advertise our brand at

    higher level. Because of this, our product awareness in the market will be minimum.

    Inexperienced:

    One of the challenges is that all the share holders dont have any kind of business

    experience moreover the company has no experience of negotiating with different suppliers

    and vendors.

    New Brand:

    8

  • 7/31/2019 17341902 Business Plan

    9/35

    New brand at its initial stage is itself a challenge. As discussed above that due to shortage

    of capital we are unable to promote this new brand for better awareness and desired out

    comes.

    Long term:

    The target of the company is to achieve the breakeven in the first six months. From this

    point onward we will strive to grow at a constant rate to open a new outlet each year so that

    vision of company can be achieved.

    Marketing plan:

    Market research:

    Market research is necessary for all kind of businesses but especially before the

    commencement of new businesses. It clarifies different aspects regarding customers

    demand, their behavior, and their buying power, their attitude towards the product, their

    likings and disliking. It also clarifies about the potential customers of the business and alsohelps the company to focus on those customers more efficiently and effectively. It will help

    a business to identify right opportunity and the time at which to hit these opportunities.

    Market research gives the company very concrete information which is close to the

    accurate because right information is very necessary regarding target markets, their

    demands, their norms and values, ethics related to the business and it enables the company

    to minimize the risks.

    U n ME garments is a small venture and on its initial stages. It does not have enough time

    and finance for primary market research. Keeping in mind the position of the business at

    the moment an appropriate strategy would be to conduct the secondary research as it will

    not prove to be a burden on the finances of the company. it also will be convenient option

    for the company.

    What barriers to entry keep potential new competitors from flooding into your

    market?

    High capital cost:

    It is not a barrier for the new competitors as any one can start with a low capital.

    High production cost:

    It can be a barrier and can not be a barrier because it depends on the references of the

    business entity.

    High marketing cost:

    Marketing is not a barrier for this business because a small business does not require

    marketing at a bigger level.

    Consumer acceptance/Brand recognition:

    It can be a barrier because it is always difficult for a new brand to capture the target market

    and due to low marketing budget it is almost impossible to create a brand recognition at

    initial stage.

    Training/skills:

    It can be a barrier for new company because if existing company have good marketing

    skills, communication skills and technical skills related to garments etc then it will alwaysbe a barrier for new company to compete the existing company.

    Unique technology/patents:

    11

  • 7/31/2019 17341902 Business Plan

    12/35

    Because it is a small business therefore it doesnt require any unique technology and

    patents.

    Shipping costs:

    Shipping cost is not a barrier. Because it is a small business and usually small businesses

    not go for such big segment.

    Tariff barriers/Quotas:

    It is also not a barrier because at this small level no legal barrier, government intervention,

    taxes are involved.

    How could the following affect your company?

    Change in technology:

    There are two ways of technology change

    Positive

    Negative

    If positive change occurs i-e development in technology it will result in increase in

    production whereas decrease in production cost less labor force which will decrease labor

    cost, increase quality, new innovative style and design occurs, reduced lead time and

    increase in flexibility and vice versa for negative change.

    Government Regulations:

    There is no involvement of government in our business because it is a small business and it

    is not opening on a large scale. This business is just for the selected and specific areas.

    12

  • 7/31/2019 17341902 Business Plan

    13/35

    Change in your Industry:

    It will not affect if there is any change in this industry because our business is based on

    customized products as well and due to this new trends and fashion will be adopted

    accordingly.

    Competition:

    Porters Five Forces

    Bargaining power of Buyers:

    Clothing is one of the three fundamental human needs. Everybody needs to buy clothing.

    Clothing includes wearing apparel such as shirt, pants, among others. Buyers usually buy in

    smaller quantities and do not purchase regularly. Buyers can also easily switch from one

    competitor to another in case of product dissatisfaction or if they just want to try other

    brands. The idea of custom-fit pants is still a fresh concept in the garments industry and U

    and Me is dealing in customized product too; particularly in our business only few buyers,

    particularly those in the upper middle, upper class, avail/can avail these products because

    of the products perceived high-end status and high price.

    Bargaining power of Suppliers:

    U and ME will be dealing in pants and shirts which is made of cotton. Pakistan is likely to

    remain the largest supplier of cotton and U n ME will buy cotton locally.

    Substitute Products:

    Ready-made retail products are considered substitute for custom-made clothing. Moreover,

    the trend of many universities and offices which uses trousers and jeans has been replaced

    by Formal pants. The fabric could also be replaced by other fabrics such as those used in

    khaki pants and pants.

    Barriers to entry:

    Barriers to entry include local policies implemented in the textiles and clothing industry.

    As far as U n Me is concerned there is no as such barrier in entering market.

    16

    17/35

    Rivalry:

    The garment industry is comprised of many players, both operating on a large scale and

    small scale basis. Customers are free to change their suppliers thus creating high

    uncertainty for competitors. In terms of origin and operating styles, competitors may range

    from boutiques, specialty stores, bazaars, direct selling agents, department stores to big

    malls. U and ME is a small venture and have the big threat of having new competitor in the

    market.

    Niche:

    A niche market is the subset of the market on which a specific product is focusing on;

    Therefore the market niche defines the specific product features aimed at satisfying specific

    market needs, as well as the price range, production quality and the demographics that is

    intending to impact.

    Niche market of U n Me is students of UMT hostel and a small segment of a big industry

    is focus of operation i.e. UMT hostel which comprises of 500 600 students. The main

    focus from these numbers is the business students and professionals. The products

    including Dress shirts and formal trousers are source of satisfying needs of target

    customers. The profile of target customer includes from middle class, upper middle class,

    male gender of age between 18 30 with income level between 8 15k.

    The unique corner of the U n Me Garments is that it is accessible for its target market as it

    will be operating in the UMT hostel which is the main point of focus. It can easily interact

    with its customers leading to various improvements in its operations, and also better

    understand the changing preferences of its target customers.

    Marketing Strategy:

    Promotion:

    Banners.

    Leaflets.

    Pamphlets

    Word of Mouth.

    Advertising:

    U n Me Garments will use print media for creating awareness to its customers, because the

    print media is the most appropriate strategy for it to reach to its target customers. Also the

    limited marketing budget does not allow it to go on large scale marketing. As it is operating

    on small scale and the target market can be reached through them, there is no need of using

    other media for advertising. And whenever new products will arrive, new packages for

    sales promotion U n Me garments will go for advertising using appropriate mediums.

    It is an effective strategy because pamphlets will be displayed on the notice boards which

    are unavoidable for everyone. It is a business operating on small scale requiring marketing

    on small scale. The marketing budget is weak allowing only marketing on small level. The

    target market is small so print media is the appropriate medium to create awareness for

    small portion of market.

    Promotional Budget:

    10% of the total capital will be allocated for the above mentioned advertising. More portion

    of the marketing budget will be spent on Leaflets, pamphlets with very small proportion for

    banners.

    26

  • 7/31/2019 17341902 Business Plan

    27/35

    Pricing strategies:

    U n Me will focus on penetration pricing. This price is deliberately set at low level to gain

    customer's interest and establishing a foot-hold in the market.

    This business will deal only on cash basis

    Location:

    In the world of business, location is extremely important. Most of us have heard the saying

    equity based. The loan facility would not be availed. The two bikes costing Rs. 140000 will

    be purchased solely for business purposes. The proposed expenditure for the office and

    furniture fixes will be closed to Rs. 50,000.

    The proposed capacity utilization for the first year is 80% which would yield sales about

    Rs. 3.8 million which could be a perfect start for an organization. The COGs for the first

    year calculated are 141,000 and so it would generate a gross profit of Rs. 3,695,000. Theproposed tax provision rate is applied at 15% on the operating profit. And at the end of the

    first year the projected net profit for the organization should be Rs. 3,033,000. The ROE

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_flow_statement

    The projected cash flow statement for the first year at 80% capacity utilization states that

    company which started at Rs. 0.696 million will have total sources of fund 3.6 million. The

    opening cash balance from the start of the business is Rs. 0.5 million which will make the

    closing cash balance of the company about Rs. 3.3 million which include the deducted

    depreciation value. If at the end of the year the company is able to achieve this target it

    would be an ideal situation for the company which started at a very low level. If this

    projected target the plan of opening a new outlet after an year could be achieved as the

    company would have enough cash resources. This would help build the reputation of the

    company.

    assets and close to Rs. 0.2 million of fixed assets. The accumulated depreciation for the

    year would be Rs. 38000 which would decrease the value of fixed assets by Rs. 0.15

    million. At the end of 9th year the value of fixed assets would be less then the depreciation

    value which indicates the buying of new fixed assets. The equity and liability side indicates

    the same value which totally consists of equity as no loan facility or accounts payable

    would be utilized. The retained earnings for the year one would add up in the capital

    invested at the start of the year which would make it Rs. 3.7 million.

    capital budgeting that makes the net present value of all cash flows from a particularproject equal to zero.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_rate_of_return

    The break even analysis of the company shows that if a company covers 16.2% of the total

    capacity utilization it would be enough for the company to reach its break even that would

    prevent it from the danger of loses. But the company has to perform really well to achieve

    this target as it would be not easy in any way. In order to calculate the break even for the

    company the total fixed cost is divided by the contribution margin multiplied by 100. This

    would generate break even for the company. This break even analysis is based on the 100%

    capacity utilization by the company.
