1.0 Executive Summary

Enterslice LLPe is a start-up retail store in Bend, Oregon that provides interesting merchandise

options at bargain prices. Financing will come from the private investments of owners Ted

Brinkman and Jim Spencer. They will donate equity that will be cleared at the end of 36 months. Dividends will be paid quarterly on the outstanding equity.

Enterslice LLPe will be incorporated as an LLC corporation. This will shield the owners from

issues of personal liability and double taxation. The investors will be treated as shareholders

and therefore will not be liable for more than their personal investments. The majority owner

Ted Brinkman, will contribute from his personal savings toward this business venture. With an

agressive marketing plan Enterslice LLPe expects to experience steady growth as it becomes

more familiar to the general public.

With the financing in place Enterslice LLPe will be able to successfully open and maintain

operations through year one. The large capital investments of the owners will provide the public

with a unique and innovative store that will cater to the needs of those on fixed incomes such

as low income families, the elderly, and the large student population in the Bend area. The

successful operation of Enterslice LLPe will provide a customer base that will allow it to be self-sufficient.

3.0 Services

Enterslice LLPe sells a variety of quality discount merchandise. The types of merchandise we

will carry will include items such as dishware, household goods, toys, cosmetics, candy,

greeting cards, and a list of items too exhaustive to list here. A dedicated staff is committed to providing excellent customer service.

The merchandise is purchased from a variety of well-known manufacturers such as Procter &

Gamble, General Mills, American Greetings as well as a number of other generic branded

companies. Shipments arrive on a daily basis. We will continue to find new product lines that can be added to our inventory.

We are able to sell products at very low prices, because we will purchase items from

discontinued lines, seconds, over runs, etc., that cannot be sold to a manufacturer's usual retail

customers.

4.0 Market Analysis Summary

We expect sales to increase steadily as consumers find that they can purchase a variety of

quality items at bargain prices. We intend to tap into the retail market with pricing that will

encourage quantity buying, and our pricing will attract consumers on fixed budgets.

Our target market is the lower income portion of the Bend and Redmond community. This

includes working class individuals, the elderly, and students, many of whom are price conscious and looking to find a value for their dollar.

4.1 Market Segmentation

The market analysis pie chart shows potential customers and the company's target markets.

Enterslice LLPe intends to provide affordable shopping alternatives to working class families

with incomes under $25,000, for elderly people on fixed incomes, and also a large student

population that tend to be on strict budgets. Bend makes up the largest market segment. We

expect this market to grow at a rate of 10% per year. This market constitutes the general

public who are looking for affordable merchandise at bargain prices. Redmond constitutes the

second largest market with a fast growing retirement community. There are also many

bedroom communities that shop in the Bend area that will add to the percentage of consumers.

Chart: Market Analysis (Pie)

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

We focus on the price conscious consumer who is looking for value as well as quality. Both the

Bend and the Redmond groups will be marketed to as they are isolated populations which do

most of their shopping in the greater Bend area. If we can attract and keep these consumers the word will continue to spread about what our store has to offer.

4.3 Service Business Analysis

In an ever changing economy the discount store model is becoming more popular with the consumer. Providing a large selection of bargain-priced items is our intended goal.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

Consumers demand quality customer service, fair pricing, and a convenient location.

Competition is very tough with customer service and location key components. The selection of

merchandise a store provides is also very important.

5.2 Development Requirements

6.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

Enterslice LLPe uses a strategy of total market service. Our promise is in our location and the products we sell, the people we attract, and the atmosphere we create.

We will present a store that is pleasant to shop in with a large variety of merchandise to choose from.

Ultimately, we are selling more than just merchandise. We are selling ourselves. We want to

provide the kind of customer service that will provide an atmosphere that creates a positive

shopping experience for our customers.

Strategic Assumptions:

1. Every person with income limitations or on fixed incomes is a potential customer. 2. Marketing to these segments of the population will lead to an expansion in overall market

growth.

6.1 SWOT Analysis

6.1.1 Strengths

6.1.2 Weaknesses

6.1.3 Opportunities

6.1.4 Threats

6.2 Competitive Edge

Our location is a very important competitive edge. We are located in the popular Riverway Mall

which has a high appeal to many different kinds of consumers. There is a good mix of high and

low end shops with several quality restaurants near by. With easy access from Main St. the

Page 13: business plan for fashion eCommerce

Ecommerce startup business plan

Page 7

Riverway Mall is a popular destination not only for Bend residents, but for people commuting from Redmond and the outlying areas.

Another competitive edge we will have over our competition is the large variety of merchandise

we will carry. With the sources we are working with it will be possible to carry many name

brand items at a discount price. Add a staff committed to providing great customer service and Enterslice LLPe will be an attractive stop for the consumer.

6.3 Marketing Strategy

Enterslice LLPe will benchmark our objectives for sales promotion and mass selling.

We are focusing our marketing effort on the community of consumers that want a store which

has an interesting variety of merchandise at bar gin prices. We will implement a strategy that

treats these customers as a community. This means our marketing resources will be centered

around both sales promotions (events, displays) and personal sales (customer service, friendly

atmosphere).

We will stay within our marketing budget. Marketing promotions will be consistent with the Mission Statement.

6.4 Sales Strategy

Employees are paid a straight wage but can achieve a semi-yearly bonus based on profits and customer satisfaction rates.

All potential sales will be attended to in a timely fashion and long-term salesperson-customer relationships will take precedence over sales closure.

6.4.1 Sales Forecast

The following table and chart give a run-down on forecasted sales. We expect sales to increase at a rate of 10% by April. We would like to see another increase of 10% by August.

We expect to experience a steady growth throughout our first year even though we are a new

business enterprise. As we become more familiar to the public we expect to gain more market

share and would like to see progressive growth as we head into the following year. Enterslice

LLPe, with an aggressive marketing approach expects to increase its share of the market by offering a unique option to discount shopping.

Note: For company purchases, the per-unit price of inventory purchases includes cost of shipping.

7.0 Management Summary

The owners of Enterslice LLPe believe very strongly that relationships should be forthright, work

should be structured with enough room for creativity, and pay should be fair and equitable in

relation to what the industry is paying. With the right people in place Enterslice LLPe will have the incentives to encourage quality people to stay.

Ted Brinkman and Jim Spencer worked together as managers of a group of large regional retail

operations (name omitted) before starting Enterslice LLPe. Over the past 10 years, under their

direction, the organization became the largest and most well-known in their area. The owners

of the company were looking to sell the company to a national organization and it was at that

point that Jim and Ted decided to branch out on their own. Both bring extensive retail

marketing and finance knowledge to the company. They have the knowledge, experience and

contacts to make the company a success.

7.1 Personnel Plan

The personnel plan is included in the following table. It shows the owner's salary in which Mr.

Brinkman only wants a small draw at the initial start of the store. There will be four full-time

employees and four part-time employees. Mr Spencer will act as the full-time manager to

oversee many of the day-to-day functions of the store. Store employees will start at an hourly

rate and raises will come after the stores first year of operation. The manager will start at a

monthly salary. Salaries and hourly rates are shown in the table below. Full-time employees will qualify for full benefits.

8.0 Financial Plan

1. Growth will be moderate; cash flows steady. 2. Marketing costs will remain below 15% of sales. 3. The company will invest residual profits into financial markets and not company expansion

(unless absolutely necessary). 4. Future cash investments will use NOV projections to achieve maximum return with limited

risk.

8.2 Important Assumptions

The personnel burden is very low because benefits are not paid to part-timers. And the short-

term interest rate is extraordinarily low because of Mr. Brinkman's long-standing relationship with High Desert Credit Union.

8.3 Break-even Analysis

A Break-even Analysis table has been completed on the basis of average costs/prices. With

fixed costs, average sales, and average variable costs, the table and chart show what we need

per month to break-even.

8.4 Projected Profit and Loss

We predict advertising costs will go down in the next three years. We will be able to find what

has worked well for us and concentrate on those advertising methods. Normally, a start-up

concern will operate with negative profits through the first two years. We will avoid that kind of operating loss by knowing our target markets.

8.5 Projected Cash Flow

We are positioning ourselves in the market as a medium risk concern with steady cash flows.

Accounts payable is paid at the end of each month, while sales are in cash, giving Enterslice

LLPe an excellent cash structure. Fifty percent of cash above a TBA amount will be invested into semi-liquid stock portfolios to decrease the opportunity cost of cash held.

8.7 Business Ratios

We expect our net profit margin and gross margin, to increase steadily over the three-year

period. Our net working capital will increase handsomely by year three, proving that we have

the cash flows to remain a going concern. The following table shows these important financial ratios, based upon NAICS industry code 452112, Discount Department Stores.
