Company

Star Event Management Inc. was founded in January 2010 and provides products
and services for Social, Cultural, Political, Corporate, Government and non
Government Special events. This company is associated with Event Management
Industry and Located at Saleem Complex Jinah Road Quetta.

Founded originally on a part-time basis, Star Event Management is a small

business designed to meet the needs of the ever changing social world. Pakistan,
is the current home with plans to expand to branch offices within four years. Star
Event Management' staff of two, with numerous contract vendors, plans events,
writes event-planning products, and trains area students in the art of event
planning. Star Event Management is invested in the community it resides in.

Star Event Management is, in part, the answer to demands of the social world, on
the working family, heavily-burdened office, out-of-town business, or special Star
Event Management in need of special recognition. As a business, we understand
the needs of public and private organizations. As parents and family members, we
understand the needs of setting special time apart from other events in our lives.
Star Event Management strives to accomplish these goals, in Pakistan and
eventually other countries.

Company Ownership

Star Event Management is established as a sole proprietorship with the intention

of selling the business when it is established. The sole proprietor will use his or
her name as the guarantor of each service. Therefore, the sole proprietor must
embody the vision and mission of Star Event Management.

Start-up Summary

Through careful planning on the part of the founders, the start-up costs for Star
Event Management are minimal. It began as a home-based business with little
overhead, and it continues to demand least outlay of funds as a service-based

6
business. The start-up cost investment funds were assets saved from prior
earnings by the owners who did event planning on a part-time basis before
establishing themselves as a business.

It is the wish of the founders to remain a debt-free establishment. However,

recognizing that in reality not all variables are controllable, outside financing is a
viable option.

Free Event Planners Training for High School and College Students.

As a member of the Pakistan community, it is our mission to support our

community. Ten hours each month will be devoted to training area
students in event planning. This will aid them in planning proms,
graduation parties, river clean-ups, homecoming, and other important
events. This is a priority of Star Event Management. It will not be cut back
as the business grows.

Star Event Management provides event planning in a wide range of

applications. We guarantee satisfaction in the areas of appearance,
performance, and taste. The following is a sampling of the types of events
we plan every year.

1. Meetings, Trainings, and Retreats

2. Conferences and Workshops

3. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Graduations and Holidays

4. Weddings, Receptions, and Showers

5. Company picnics, banquets, and award ceremonies.

Competitive Comparison:

12
Star Event Management, although young, draws from the age-old tradition of going
above and beyond what is expected, every time. Our systems for event planning have
been drawn up, evaluated, practiced, worked, and reworked to ensure the maximum
efficiency while minimizing the possibility of error. We employ local vendors who have
the same desire to be the best at what they do, while providing un-match able services.
Thus, we give back to the community by providing jobs outside of our organization. We
encourage new and upcoming small businesses who provide a service within our need
base to step up to the challenge of being the best through their contract with Star Event
Management.

Our products will serve the function of aiding those that cannot afford the cost of an
event planner. We wish to make our event planning tips available to those who need a
helping hand. Star Event Management is a member of the community. Through event
planning, Star Event Management gets the opportunity to laugh when the community
laughs and cry when the community cries, to rejoice when the community rejoices and to
help put the pieces back together when things change or begin to fall apart. We care
about the things that have meaning in the lives of our neighbors.

Market Analysis summary

The following sections describe the market segmentation, strategies, and industry
analysis

Market segmentation
The breakdown of the market for event planning, falls in a wide, very diverse grouping.
Individuals as well as organizations demand the services we provide. In order to provide
the greatest depth of information, the market segments have been broken down into
private and public organizations, and age groups

1. Private Organizations and Businesses

Private organizations make up the single largest portion of Star Event Management' client
base. Private organizations such as businesses, corporations, and political parties host the
most events on the largest scales, therefore, these events generate larger revenues per
event. The majority of larger scale holiday functions will fall under this segment.
2. Public Organizations
Government agencies host many events every year. Star Event Management hopes to
alleviate the pressure of event planning for public employees. The second single largest
segment, the public sector, can save money and give back to its community at the same
time. These events are moderate in scale with middle to low revenues generated.

13
Emphasis is placed on the visibility of the event for public viewing. The majority of
organizational family functions will fall under this segment

3. Age Breakdowns

Under 24: Persons under the age of twenty-four (24) using an event planner are rare at
best. We hope to tap the early college graduates who have begun their professional
careers but have not yet started their families. These events will focus mainly on themes
with moderate to high energy appeal. The revenues generated will range from moderate
to high, depending on the event. The majority of weddings will fall into this segment.

Ages 25-55: The persons that fall into this age group are employed, middle to upper-
middle class families. The reason they choose event planners is they are too busy to do it
themselves. Therefore, Star Event Management will be on hand for questions, contact
will be moderate in length but occur regularly so as not to disturb the daily life of the
families. These events will generate moderate revenues, with a few generating low
revenues. The majority of special Star Event Management planning will occur in this
market segment.

Ages 56 and above: Persons over the age of 55 have reached the turning point of life.
Many are retiring, others are celebrating anniversaries of significant years, and still others
are seeing that their children's special events are taken care of. These events will generate
moderate to high revenues depending upon the income level of the family (direct
correlation to social status). Most holiday parties, and other special Star Event
Management, such as wedding receptions and reunions, will occur in this market segment

4. Other
This segment has no direct information to compile for a description. It consists of any
event planned that does not fit into one of the above categories.

Target Market segment Strategy

15
Our target markets are middle to upper-middle class families, couples, individuals, or
private and public organizations. We chose these groups because they are most able to
afford event planners, and have the least amount of time to spare for event planning in
general. Families demand attention, employees are overburdened, and overwhelming
detail needed to plan large events are too large a constraint to place on people not trained
in the area of event planning.

The fast pace of the world we live in leaves little time for extra things we would like to
do, like plan events, parties, and social get-togethers. Star Event Management fills the
need by being available to take on the burden of planning so that people can spend time
on more important things, like family and friends. The demand for this service can only
increase considering the rise in incomes, population, and need for interpersonal relations
in the workplace.

Service Business Analysis

Star Event Management is in a unique position of competition. We compete against

hotels with conference facilities, conference centers, other event planners both on the
large and small scale, persons within an organization who are assigned the task of
organizing an event, and people who wish to organize their own events without the
benefit of assistance. The benefits and drawbacks of each of our competitors as compared
with the services we offer are hardly a match in quality and price.

Hotels and Conference Centers

Strengths: On-site facilities, equipment, and support staff. Ability to transport and house
persons for overnight stays. Able to internalize costs of transportation and equipment.
Weakness: Often very expensive, impersonal, rely on unskilled labor for support staff.
The error rate is high due to high volume and traffic from other events happening at the
same time

2. Other Event Planners

Strengths: Have been in the market longer, have established a reputation and client base.
Weakness: Reputation precedes them, no systems-based businesses designed to produce
consistent results; focus on smaller events, specialized events are main focused rather

16
than all events; do not have the supporting products to market with, or instead of, event
planning services

3. Employees or Persons wishing to do it themselves

Strengths: Internalized cost of planning the event; able to add tiny personalized touches
that have meaning within the group or family.
Weakness: Consumes time that could be spent on other things; don't have access to the
best prices, services, and other needed resources available.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Marketing and Competition

We have discussed our client base as being predominately middle to upper-middle class
individuals, couples or families, public and private organizations. We must then look at
the needs of these markets and cater to them. We promise the same great results, every
time.

When marketing to individuals, the idea of releasing them from the task, freeing their
time for family and friends, and the promise of a worry-free event are the buzz words and
concepts. Our marketing is predominantly by word of mouth or visual connection to large
events these individuals have participated in or worked at.

When marketing to public or private organizations, the idea of greater efficiency for the
money and a professional event without error would be the key concept. Groups,
especially large ones, do not wish to deal with problems that arise due to oversight on
their part. If the guarantee of worry-free, error-free events is available at a cost benefit to
them, there really appears to be no better choice.

Sales Strategy

Star Event Management deals with a diverse market of clients. Within each market
segment, closing of sales will differ. Each approach is described as follows.

1. Private and Public Organizations

Sales will be concluded one to two days after the end of the event. A follow-up
phone call will be placed informing the client of the total cost, number of
attendees, and information about the billing packet that will arrive at their offices.
Feedback forms will be included in these packets to ensure the client is being

17
 served as they deem appropriate. Form letter thank-yous will be sent following
each event.

2. Individuals
Sales will be concluded with a follow-up phone call one to two days after the
event. The phone call will explain the total cost of the event, number of attendees,
and information concerning the billing. Individual parties of any age group are
placed on a billing cycle. Invoices will be sent out the 25th of the month and will
be due the 10th of the following month. Feedback forms will be included in these
packets to ensure the client is being served as they deem appropriate. Thank-you
cards will follow each individual event.

Sales Forecast

By beginning on a smaller scale, Star Event Management has the foresight to grow at a
rapid pace to keep up with demand. We wish to maintain a steady rate of sales growth;
however, we understand that sales of products and services will vary in different months.
As noted in the graph and chart, rapid increases during the holiday season will boost
sales, then allow that growth to level off at a steady rate

Management Summary

Information and expense details are presented in subtopics Organizational Structure and
Personnel Plan.

Organizational Structure

The management team within Star Event Management will be small in the beginning.
The primary employee is the founder, who plans events, then contracts with caterers,
decorators, disc jockeys, and bands to fill out the event. A contract labor site manager
will be on hand to work the events as a liaison and vendor coordinator. Thus, there are
two main employees with various levels of vendors.

When Star Event Management reaches its expansion goals, each office will have one to
two event planners, an office assistant, two to three site managers for the events, and a
product and marketing specialist. This team will function as one with constant
communication through weekly staff meetings, email, and message boards. All jobs are
interrelated. The performance of one affects the performance of the others; therefore,
each team member expects nothing but the best from each other.

As it functions currently, we see no gaps in the management of this organization. Should

Star Event Management grow beyond its estimated size, more positions in specialized
areas will need to be added as well as additional site support and office assistance. To fill
these positions, Star Event Management is looking for energetic, teachable, detail-
oriented persons who want the potential to grow and improve their skills within the
organization. Star Event Management wants to be the best; therefore, they will hire those
who want to succeed.

21
Personnel Plan
The following table shows the estimated personnel needs for Star Event Management.

Personnel Plan

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3

Event Specialist $36,000 $40,000 $42,000

Site Manager $11,097 $13,750 $14,560

Other $8,947 $9,560 $10,000

Total People 0 0 0

Total Payroll $56,044 $63,310 $66,560

Financial Plan

Service-based businesses require little funds to start-up, and as they grow and expand,
less funds to maintain. The charts and graphs that follow will show that investment up
front allows Star Event Management to function debt-free with little overhead. This gives
Star Event Management a quicker break-even point and increased profit margins from the
start. As Star Event Management grows, the debt-free philosophy will be maintained until
it is impossible to function during growth periods without financial assistance.

Important Assumptions

22
Tax rates are noted for information. We carry no loan burden that would be effected by
these rates. What hits Star Event Management the hardest (but not nearly are bad as other
service businesses), is the tax rate of 24%, which is nearly one quarter of the total sales.
As Star Event Management continues to grow, these numbers will be reference rather
than influence.

Key Financial Indicators

The break-even point for Star Event Management is based on the assumption that we will
produce 22 events per month and average approximately $521 per event. In the current
situation, we average more than this assumption for our public and private organization
events. These currently make up 18 of the 22 average events hosted per month.

23
Break-even Analysis

The break-even point is based on the assumption that we will produce 22 events per
month and average approximately $521 per event. In the current situation, we average
more than this assumption for our public and private organization events. These currently
make up 18 of the 22 average events hosted per month.

The break-even point will appear more rapidly for Star Event Management than for other
types of home-based businesses. Start-up costs are limited to minimal equipment, there is
little or no staff to pay in the beginning, and contracted companies will handle any
additional equipment required for the planned events.

Monthly Revenue Break-even $19,313

Assumptions:

Average Percent Variable Cost 12%

Estimated Monthly Fixed Cost $17,023

Projected Profit and Loss

25
Leading the industry in event planning requires the use of the resources available at the
lowest cost. As noted in the table, we spend less money on overhead than another event
planners with an outside office or office space in their own facility. This savings allows
us to market in creative ways and spend funds on expansion into other areas when the
time is right.

Projected Balance Sheet

Star Event Management is set up for success. According to the numbers, we start out fair and end up amazing. By
FY2000, we will be worth over $125,000 with a profit margin of over 30%. We are operating with little to zero debt,
boosting the net worth even higher. Our only weakness is the products to be released in FY2000 have not been
