Proposal on New Business Ideas:

Waste Management & Energy Recycling Services

Nationwide, many landfills are closing or exhausting their remaining capacity. Yet due to

environmental restrictions, zoning laws, and other regulatory and bureaucratic delays, pitifully

few new landfills are opening to offset the looming space crisis. Meanwhile, municipal waste

continues to flow in greater volume. Handling the nation's waste stream has become a major

problem for most municipalities. With more waste created daily, landfills nationwide are rapidly

facing a capacity crisis. Landfills are akin to owning a reverse gold mine. So, assistance in these

kinds of services will enlarge the beauty of our nation.

Sustainable Eco Ideas & Design Services

We have selected this service idea because of its potential and market growth opportunity. It is

estimated that real estate sector in Bangladesh is booming and it will continue to boom for

example, SAHARA has already planned to invest in Bangladesh. As a result, there is a potential

that such services will gain great market share in the real estate sector in Bangladesh. We are

basically providing two types of services. These are:

1. Idea development

2. Designing offices and apartments

Business Plan for “UNISTORE”

To introduce a new era of business module in Bangladesh, we 7 friends are going to establish a

superstore named “UNISTORE”, a unique, universal and versatile sales floor. It generally

provides almost every kind of consumer goods. To make it successful we have chosen both

developed and developing regions of Dhaka city to inaugurate 1 outlet initially. Our form of

organization will be general partnership.

E. Legal Structure:

We have formed our business as a partnership in accordance with the “Partnership Act 1932”.

We have selected general partnership criteria as our under partnership classification. Because it

has the following advantages which are often seen as positive attributes of being in a partnership:

Advantages of General Partnership Business:

1. Shared financial commitment.

2. Resources, expertise, and strengths can be pooled

3. There are limited startup costs.

4. There are few formalities in such kind of partnership.

5. Simple and inexpensive to create and operate

6. One big advantage of a general partnership is that you don't have to register with your

state and pay a fee, as you do to establish a corporation or limited liability company.

And because a general partnership is normally a “pass through" tax entity (the

partners, not the partnership, are taxed unless you specifically elect to be taxed like a

corporation) filing income tax returns is easy.

F. Break-Even Analysis:

Break-even analysis is a management control device that approximates how much you must sell

in order to cover your costs with no profit and no loss. Profit comes after break-even.

Profit depends on sales volume, selling price, and costs. Break-even analysis helps you to

estimate what a change in one or more of these factors will do to your profit. To figure it out,

fixed costs (like rent) must be separated from variable costs (like the cost of goods sold).

Break-Even analysis:

We will have an average monthly sales of 4 crore tk. which in turn will give a profit of 30%

on the sales deducting COGS, taxes & other costs that is 2 crore tk. monthly. So, the break–

even point will be,

Break Even Point = Fixed Costs / (Sales- variable costs)

= 535700000 / (480000000-321000000)

= 14 months = 1 year 2 months (approximately)

Chart: Break-even Analysis is analyzed in the following chart:

J. Business Financial History:

We 7 friends met together 5 years ago. We studied together in the Dhaka University and joined

in different companies after the completion of BBA and MBA from there. We all live in Dhaka

except 3 of us came from rural areas to Dhaka city for studying. One of our friends lived in

America working in a multinational company there. He made a huge amount of capital and

resources. He had a desire to do something in Bangladesh. In this regard, he contacted with us

and we agreed on his proposal. Meanwhile, the rest 6 friends of us gathered a lot of capital to

bear our huge initial expenditure. Initially, we will start at Uttara & we shall remain within

Dhaka initially to support our financial background. After a year, when we were mentally and

financially ready to start our very first Superstore, we 7 friends gathered together and took the

initiative. Then we planned to open a corporate office and 1 superstore outlet in Uttara with huge

demand. This is how we get started with our business.

E. Letters of Reference:

A sample of a letter of reference made by Rumana forwarded to Md. Abdur Rakib is given as the

following:

Prospective Employer,

I have come to know about Md. Abdur Rakib graduate through his work experience with our

firm during the past summer, when he served as an Auditor Intern in our Dhaka office.

Rakib became immediately involved in the annual audit of Zephyr Megalithic, conducting much

of the accounting research required for the audit. In addition to gathering the financial

information, Tracy was instrumental in the development of the final certification report. Tracy

also participated in several other smaller audits, including her instrumental role in the quarterly

audit of One Bank, where she developed several Excel macros to audit the inputs. She later

further developed these macros for use in future audits, which we have integrated into our

Auditors Toolkit.

Tracy has shown the kind of initiative which is necessary to be successful over the long-term in

the public accounting field. She has excellent forensic accounting skills, yet remains focused on

the overall needs of the client. I believe she will be a strong Auditor and has an excellent future

in the public accounting field. She is a conscientious worker and has an excellent work ethic. We

would gladly have hired Tracy upon graduation if she were open to working in the Dhaka City

area.

I recommend Abdur Rakib to you without reservation. If you have any further questions with

regard to her background or qualifications, please do not hesitate to call me.

Sincerely,

Rumana
