Executive Summary
By the grace of Almighty God, We have successfully completed our business plan.

Our organization structure is horizontal and centered (coordination). The structural details are as follows. We are going to hire a professional consultant Mr. Tariq who is a main person in the market of helmets. Who will work as an expert consultant and guide us in our business, through their deep knowledge about this industry. We have signed a one year legal contract will our consultant.

Business Model
We will start our operation from Macleod Road. The location is perfect for our business as we can enjoy different benefits here. Here we can also avail the entire facilities related to helmet. As we are the innovators with these

new features in helmet market, so there is no previous data available to measure and to forecast the market trend or demand. We therefore are hiring the services of an expert. In our marketing operations we hire two sales people who go to whole sellers and take order from their shops and we will be purchasing Bluetooth from Zain Traders which is situated at Hall road for our production process of helmet. In Pakistan no machinery is used to manufacture helmets. So the manufacture will be done with hands except the dyes of the helmet and for that purpose we can manufacture the helmet at Al-Fatah market 2nd floor Macleod Road. As it is near to us so the transportation cost will be less and it will also save our time. This is why that we start our own working from here. The reason for not doing this is that it is costly as the electricity crises are at its peak, so its easy for us to import the material from china and assemble it here. But that will be of very low quality and the good quality will increase our cost too much. So we have to go for the other option and that is to purchase the raw-material from the local manufacturer like Aftab Manufacturers, Tariq international, Hall road, Beadon Road etc and then assemble those parts and give the customer new and quality product.

Supply Chain

The lead time will be of 7 days, with a very little uncertainty in the demand. And inventory is to be kept for 1 months time. It is easy to store and handle the product.

Initial Financial Budget


To take start we have rented an office at Macleod road in the 2nd floor of Al-Fatah Market and the 2 other shops for the assembling and storing the helmets at a rent of Rs.30,000 and security Rs.400, 000 for the shop. Our initial investment will be Rs.20, 00, 000. The reason for opening our office at Macleod Road is because this is a market of bikes and spare parts of bikes. One of the reasons for building our office here is that this is a whole sale market. Whole seller comes here and gives their orders. So we decide to take a start from the main and important market of Lahore as it is also a helmet market. Thus it will be easy to have more customers and capture the higher market share in lesser time, which is one of our desired objectives.

Industry Analysis

Industry Analysis A. Industry Description Industry Trends


The current industry in Pakistan is having high potential as there is a large Gap in the current industry. Youth is crazy about riding bikes and want to be up-to-date. They either dont want to use a helmet or dont feel convenient while using it. In Pakistan helmets are either being imported or are made locally. People do not want to leave their cell phones while they are on road. The growth in telecom sector has made people so much conscious that they dont want to leave their cells on road while they are even on their bikes.

a. Industry Size
Driving and Cell Phones

The picture below shows a man talking on his mobile phone while carrying a deep freezer on his motorcycle in Lahore. This picture is a symbol of dangerous driving situation in todays Pakistan.

This shows the shifting attitudes towards cell phones and driving in the developed world. It is now commonly accepted that driving and talking on cell phone at the same time is distracting and should be avoided.

For using mobile phone while driving, motorcyclists will be fined Rs 200,

Telecom Industry As A Supportive Industry


People do not want to leave their cell phones while they are on road. The growth in telecom sector has influenced the society to a great deal. The craze is to stay connected. Telecom industry is growing at a fast rate and this is opening new horizons of success and also opening new market for investment.

Political
The use of motor bike helmet was first made mandatory on 3rd March 2005 by ex-president General Pervaiz Musharaf due to the increased number of road accidents and cut throats due to kite flying. In 2005 as the mortality rate increased due to large number of road accidents and cut throats accidents. Government of Pakistan declared it mandatory for the bike riders to use a helmet, as they ride bikes. This law was also enforced to keep the bike riders safe and to prevent them from any Skull injury in case of accidents. The law was also supported by the Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary. Sunday,April26,2009LAHORE The National Highways & Motorways Police N-5 Central DIG, Syed Ibne Hussain has said that motorcyclists in Pakistan are amongst the most careless drivers in the world, and they pay minimal or no attention to their own safety. He said this while presiding over a meeting held to review arrangements for the launching of road safety campaigns at the Zonal office, Lahore.

The DIG observed that majority of riders did not bother to wear protective helmets which resulted in head injuries. Following the directions of Inspector General NH&MP Dr. Wasim Kauser, the NH&MP Lahore N-5 Central have launched special campaigns titled Vehicles without Tail/Brake Lights, Use Of Safety Helmet, Effectiveness of Right Back- View Mirror and Keep the Extreme Left Lane with a view to create road safety awareness and soft policing among road users. The DIG said that the NH&MP was carrying out helmet-wearing campaign to make all bike riders wear helmets. He said that there was a need of raising awareness about safety benefits of wearing protective helmets as head injuries mostly proved fatal.

Economical
The economic situation of Pakistan is not very favorable. Increasing inflation rate, increasing unemployment, collapsing stock market and other unfavorable economic issues have made the situation disastrous. Some findings of economical draw backs are as under 1. Inflation rate has raise from 9.31% to 30% in the last year. 2. Unemployment has raised up from13.6 % to 15.2 (est.) (from 2010 to 2011) 3. More than 24% of the country population is below poverty line 4. The stock market has badly collapsed in the last few months due to uncertain political conditions of the country. 5. The Pakistan rupee has fallen to a record low price 6. Foreign-exchange reserves fell by $16.68 billion to $14.903 billion in the week ending December 2011. 7. Industries of the country are at the edge of being shut down, due to very high cost of production. The intense short fall of electricity has doubled the cost of production and has made the situation even worst.

Social
Consumer behavior and life style are changing rapidly. The advancement of technology and the wide spread of media has captured the mind of the people to a great extent. Man has becoming more and more social and technology oriented, and this need has been excellently met by cell phone technology. Use of mobile phone has turned into a fashion and a status symbol rather than a need. Now people do not want to miss even a single moment of their life which they can spend with their loved ones. Social circles are becoming wider as different telecom companies are entering into the market with their unique

selling points, they are offering more attractive facilities in the form of low price packages or voice craze etc. All these facilities have actually made the consumers addicted to use cell phones throughout the day, and as a result people are not ready to miss even a single SMS or a call. On road, in offices, in car no matter where you are, you will surely find someone or the other holding a cell phone next to their ear.

Technological
The technology in the field of helmets is still very backward. Even in todays fast moving world the helmets are made with hands

Porter 5 Forces Model


Porter five forces model is an extremely useful model to analyze the outer environment for any strategic analysis. This model takes into account all the five major forces of the market and thus suggest a way to analyze the current situation of the industry. Porter five forces model in this scenario is given as

Supplier
Here the supplier has limited or no power as the product is more than a commodity, all the suppliers import the end product from China and sale it here in Pakistan. And some manufacturers also manufacture it at

Shaikhupura road. And there is no concept of backward integration in this industry so far.

Substitute
The product has no near substitute as it is a complimentary good itself. Although there are number of varieties in helmets but one type of helmet is used for one specified purpose. That is a bike helmet, and it is only used by bike riders, similarly a cycle helmet is also used by some of the rides. The other substitute is cap which is use in all type of the season.

Buyer
Due to the complementary nature of the product, the buyer is very little or not at all involved in this product. The buyers switching cost is very high, due to their price sensitivity, they do not actually differentiate the product. Most of the sale purchase is done upon the basis of price sensitivity or a little know how of the product.

New Entry
No barriers for new entry exist. There is no restriction for entering and exiting in this market. And anyone can manufacturing and start selling helmet.

Gaps
The above mentioned analysis clearly reflects the current situation of the industry. The industry is full of Gaps. There is a high potential of growth in this industry. Market forces are weak and in this situation even a little innovation can capture a large market

share. The basic problem of the industry is a homogenous product with no development. All this industry needs is a little innovation and a strong public awareness program.

Industry Attractiveness
The future of our business depends upon the growth of Motorbike Industry. The table below provides a detail of the last year sale of some big Motorbike manufacturers. The table shows that this industry is very potential and there is a large scope for future growth.

July 2010 to Nov 2011 Company Honda Yamaha Suzuki China bike Production (Unit) 6,085,433 3,950,088 1,600,058 15,005,345 Sale (unit) 5,865,720 3,500,544 1,582,043 14,875,460

The above table gives an indication of the overall industrial growth for the last five years. The data reflects that the growth was maximum in 2009 but then in 2010 there occur a fall in this industry and now it is again moving toward the boom.

Profit Potential
As in the above table we see the increase in production and sales of motor bike in Pakistan which tends to increase the sales of helmet which shows there is profit potential in the business and also the future growth. Our product include new feature which also tends the customer to buy Hi Fly Helmet. So the people dont have o use cell phone while driving bike. By the enforcement of national high ways regulation authority helmet should be used while driving motor bike. This will increases in the sales of our helmets.

B. Target Market: Description Of Target Market


Our target customer is Bike Rider. But the show room or dealer who deal in both new and 2nd hand motorbikes, in addition to it Motor way and highway police are also included in our target market. Our target customer is also youth, the reason we are focusing upon the youth is their way of thinking. Todays youth want to be different; they are fun loving and want to enjoy every moment of their life. They are ready to pay more for their life and satisfaction.

Weakness: Most people consider homeland products low in quality and durability. Marketing is rather tough due to international
Competitors deep roots in Pakistan.

Inflation can affect the cost and sale of companys


product.

Due to the purchasing of Raw material from


foreign countries, company needs enough. Time for stable production and can suffer from production cost variations.

Opportunities:

Post sale services would be easily available for our customers rather than that of foreign companies. Marketing of product will be more effective and low budgeted because of home land advantage.

Threats:
Company is new in market. Company has competition with market giants of same product.

People would prefer old companies because of their old and well developed history and repute respectively. Political and economical environment is unstable in Pakistan that can suffer the companys investment.

Operational Plan

Operational plan: A. Method of Production


The process starts after placing the order of Dye of the helmet. There are three main types of dyes used in the manufacturing of the helmet. First we order the upper (ABS material) and lower dye, which in other words is also called the Shell and the Base of the helmet. Then the second step is pasting the stickers. These stickers are also in contracted with our supplier, who will provide us the shell and also the varnish or painting of the shell. All these things will be provided by our main supplier (Aftab & Manufacturers); manufacturing plant is their in

Shadara. The cost at which they are providing us the shell is 115, with our required adjustments as per the innovations required in the helmet. The third step is the thermo-pole sheet; this sheet will be taken from the Beadon Road. The thermo-pole will be adjusted in-side the shell and then, it will be fixed by the glue. The price of each Thermo-pole is Rs.10 per piece. Fourth step is to fix the hands free and blue tooth device in the inside thermo pore sheet only the hands free point and speakers are visible and the Bluetooth device is also visible and easily adjustable according to the ear.

Then the second step will be the stitching of the cloths and foam, this is also done by the machines. The 2 stitching and one cutting machine will be purchased for this process (cost of stitching & cutting machines are

Rs.50000). The foam (moderate quality) will be fixed on the thermo-pole; which will be purchased from the local manufacturer. This will reduce our price. Then the cloth is placed on the foam with the machine. In eigth step we shall fix the ears which cost Rs.27, the nuts Rs.2, the rubber Rs.3 and front glass mirror which cost Rs.50. The spherical mirror (Facial Optics) In the last step the packing is done and the helmet is read for dispatching.

Break Even Analysis:


As the Hi Fly is a company that is providing its product so its sales depends on the number of customers that would attain its services. This is the grounds reason why its sales or profits would not increase in a normal manner but would diverge in an uneven pattern with the number of consumers would vary. As there is no consistency in the number of customers so the company will not meet the breakeven point. The following graph shows how the company will perform in the following years.

Sales

Year

The above graph shows that there could be an increase in the revenue but the company may not reach the breakeven point.

Exit Strategy
Hi Fly after analyzing every risk and exit ways of the business have devised an exit strategy in the case if the business plan does not work or either goes to investors. We have also made certain clauses to recover the cost which would have been incurred on the project. The exit strategies of Hi Fly are as follow:

Legal documents of partnership will be signed by the partners that partnership will not be resolve until 5 years. After five years if any partner wants to exit then he has to inform to the organization at least 1 year before. If any partner exits from the business, he or she will get his or her share after 3 years. In case of losses every partner will be just liable for their share in organization. In case of winding up the organization amount received from sale of asset will be divided among partners and investors according to their shares.

Critical Risk Factor

Critical Risk
All businesses involve factors of risk, which cannot be eliminated but can be reduced to an extent. Profitability of a business lies beyond risk if exploited as an opportunity and if risk is eliminated there is no opportunity for profit. Rather than eliminate risk one needs to control or minimize those risks that are undesirable. Through risk management one can usually reduce price & improve quality of product (or services) variability and improve ones profit margin.

A. Management Risks:
The management risks refer to the risk that the members of the management team may divert their attentions or goals to their individual ones rather than the organizational ones. All the partners have abided by the rules and cannot break the terms and conditions mentioned in the partnership agreement. All the partners are responsible for the debts and obligations of the firm and the partnership agreement is valid for five years. In order to avoid such risk the firm has a flatter structure so that there is a two way flow of information so that matters can be handled and can be solved before they become worse and cannot be handled. On the other hand, the management team will be provided allowances, bonuses, and other financial and non-financial awards in order to prevent the employees from diverting to individual goals.

B. Marketing Risk:
The marketing risk is the economic instability because of which the prices of the manufacturing material rise out of budget. Initially we would really have to focus on our costs and maintain stability in providing services so that there would be no additional burden on the investors. There are many issues surrounding marketing and marketing decisions.

First and foremost are unpredictable and unstable prices and the inability to accurately forecast market prices. This uncertainty creates a high level of risk. Improving information and our understanding of the marketing process can be of some help. Changes in the national and world economy drive consumer demand and determine the economic environment we must face. This can be positive or negative. Consumer response to prices is not consistent over time. It is important to stay current of consumer tastes and preferences and take advantage of them.

C. Operating Risk:
A form of risk that summarizes the risks a company or firm undertakes when it attempts to operate within a given field or industry. Operational risk is the risk that is not inherent in financial, systematic or market-wide risk. It is the risk remaining after determining financing and systematic risk, and includes risks resulting from breakdowns in internal procedures, people and systems. Operational risk can be summarized as human risk; it is the risk of business operations failing due to human error. Operational risk will change from industry to industry, and is an important consideration to make when looking at potential investment decisions. Industries with lower human interaction are likely to have lower operational risk. Our operational risk can be high if we dont take care of the labor and first line employees. But as the organization has a flatter structure it is easy to care of the problems before they can turn into huge blunders.

D. Financial Risk:
Financial risks refer to risk that a company may face while it has not been prepared for it. In order to deal with such financial risks one should be fully aware of all the aspects that can cause tragedy. We deal with a number of financial risks by taking careful measures which are as follows: We have not taken any loan from the bank or any other company as all the partners are providing the capital finance for the

company initially. But as the company would make use of the resources thus using the capital it would need finance for providing further services. It would require funds from banks and other finance providing companies. If our company does not meet its target of the forecasted sales (services) then it would increase the price of its services in order to reach its breakeven at least. If all the business receives a big loss it will cover that lost by the help of all the members combined effort. If the any member of the management team tries to commit a fraud that is taking into his account a large amount of money without the companys permission then strict measures involving the law would be taken. The company would be insured in case any disaster comes or the company faces real time problems such as a fire or an earthquake comes and cause real damage.

E. Intellectual Property Infringement:


We have applied for all the necessary intellectual property rights for the patents and trademarks of Hi Fly in order to prevent bad intentions from copying our ideas. Under the law of Pakistan no one is allowed to copy any of the trademarks or illegally use our services. In order to prevent such a case we will be protecting our data by taking protective measures.
