1. Chapter 1
Project Summary
Introduction
Computer shop business is one of the most in demand businesses here in Bulacan.
Nowadays, internet cafes are really in demand because of the fast changing technology that the
people embraced just like here in the Philippines. Some have their own laptops and bring it to
coffee shops so that they could relax and at the same time prepare their assignments and paper
works. The people today are very busy and would want to do their jobs in a beautiful and
innovative environment that could satisfy their needs and lessen their stress due to busy
schedule.
Name of the Firm
The proposed name of the firm is “AC COMPUTER SHOP”. The owner will register the
firm with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Local Government Unit (LGU)
concerned. The firm will be registered as single proprietorship. The business is about computer
shop.
Location
The business will be renting a space along Hi-way near to Government Office, and
schools. The target consumers are students, teachers, office workers, and nearby neighborhood
especially those people whose relatives or loved ones are abroad.
The two hundred (200) meter radius requirements as provided in the existing zoning code and
other applicable rules and regulations wherein computer shops and other similar establishments
and places of amusements should be put up or constructed at least two hundred (200) meters
away from the church, schools, hospitals and other government offices shall be strictly complied
with.
Long Range Objectives of the Project
The AC Computer Shop looks forward to be the most competitive shop in Bocaue and
nearby towns of Bulacan. The proponent dreams of making profit and staying long in the
business.
For operating and establishing “AC COMPUTER SHOP”, I am having some objectives.
1. To earn profit at less investments.
2. To satisfy our customers providing best quality service at effective price.
3. Providing the service at low cost by providing the best quality at affordable price.
4. To know a fair return on the capital invested by the owner.

2. Feasibility Criteria
The following are the most important criteria by which almost every subject is being
measured:
1. Raising Funds or Capital – this is the number one need of a business man in
putting up a business. Whether he will produce the money by his own pocket or he
will have a business loan in a bank.
2. Recognize profit from the business – the main reason of a person for going into
business is profit. People tend to enter into this kind of business because of their
expectation to earn money or have an income.
3. It helps the economic growth of the area – this company will give a job
opportunity to the resident of bulacan.
4. Enhance the availability of the company – the company will become stable if it
has the ability to compete to his competitor and ability to continue operations yet
there is expected risks in a business.
Market Strategies
To penetrate the target market, different marketing strategies and promotions will be
considered. Leaflets will be distributed and handed out to various business establishments,
offices, schools, bus and jeepney stations, friends, and relatives. Games and services offered will
be displayed on the store window. I will offer promo’s to attract the consumer like cheaper rate
for computer rental, and membership card. I will put a tarpaulin on the place itself where my
shop is standing, promoting the opening of my computer shop also one month before the
opening. To let the people know that there will be a new Computer Shop on the vicinity.
Lastly, I will keep developing my skills by attending seminars to improve my knowledge
and to be updated in this business.

5. Factors Affecting the Market
Factors that I consider while putting up my own Computer Shop:
• Location – picking a good spot is an advantage for me.
• Competition – most business – minded people think of competition as a race to charge
the lower prices in order to win the customers.
• Software Licensing – it’s really important to have an original operating system, because
pirated OS can eventually damage the system.
• Expected ROI – investing money in a business is a risk in my case the well tabulated if
financial statement is my major concern.
Internet Connection
The major cost of a computer shop is the internet connection. For providing better
service, the proposed project will use a high band width connection for better speed as the
project is going on to provide service of video chat. It is recommended that the internet
connection should be taken from the best internet service provider.
Recommended Connection
If the project is set up in area, where DSL Internet connection is available, it is
recommended to use DSL Internet connection instead of any other Internet connection. This will
improve the speed of internet, which will improve the performance of video chat and will also
reduce the telephone expense.
Marketing Program
AC Computer Shop has three main strategies. The first strategy focuses on
attracting novice Internet users, by providing a novice friendly environment, AC Computer Shop
hopes to educate and train a loyal customer base.
The second, and most important, strategy focuses on pulling in power Internet users.
Power Internet users are extremely familiar with the Internet and its offerings. This group of
customers serves an important function at AC Computer Shop. Power users have knowledge and
web-browsing experience that novice Internet users find attractive and exciting.
The third strategy focuses on building a social environment for AC Computer Shop
customers. A social environment, that provides entertainment, will serve to attract customers that
wouldn't normally think about using the Internet. Once on location at AC Computer Shop, these
customers that came for the more standard entertainment offerings will realize the potential
entertainment value the Internet can provide.

6. Attract Power Internet Users
AC Computer Shop’s second strategy will be focused on attracting power Internet users.
Power Internet users provide an important function. AC Computer Shop plans on attracting this
type of customer by:
• Providing the latest in computing technology.
• Providing scanning and printing services.
• Providing access to powerful software applications
The large student and nearby neighborhood population will become an important part of
the AC Computer Shop customer base. The student population continues to grow with the
success of the educational institutes. Access to the internet, entertainment, and the upscale
ambiance will attract the students. Business community is growing rapidly with the addition of
new companies day by day.
AC Computer Shop will provide an opportunity to local and traveling professionals to
check their e-mails communications; this will be an attracting entity for the middle income group
and for the residents of Bocaue as they do not have access to the internet at their living places.
Market Growth
The market for the services AC Computer Shop will offer is growing rapidly. The
computer shop hasn't come to this area yet, but similar services are growing rapidly on a global
scale. Large cities that cater to large numbers of traveling business people have been saturated
with businesses offering the services AC Computer Shop will offer. Business people use the
Internet services to catch up on email and communications with their family. My area supports a
population that has many of the same needs and interests of this larger group. The student
population continues to grow as the University grows in popularity with high-school graduates
from out of state. These students tend to have money and an interest in up-scale social centers.
AC Computer Shop will target these groups with the use of fliers and tarpaulin.

7. SWOT Analysis
The SWOT analysis provides us with an opportunity to examine the internal strengths
and weaknesses AC Computer Shop must address. It also allows us to examine the opportunities
presented to AC Computer Shop as well as potential threats. AC Computer Shop has a useful
inventory of strengths that will help it succeed. These strengths include: a knowledgeable and
friendly staff, modern computer hardware, and a clear vision of the market need. Strengths are
valuable, but it is also important to realize the weaknesses AC Computer Shop must address.
These weaknesses include: a dependence on quickly changing technology and the cost factor
associated with keeping modern computer hardware. AC Computer Shop’s strengths will help it
capitalize on rising opportunities. These opportunities include, but are not limited to, a growing
population of daily Internet users, and the growing social bonds fostered by the new Internet
communities. Threats that AC Computer Shop should be aware of include, the rapidly falling
cost of Internet access, and rising local competitors.
Strengths
1. Knowledgeable and friendly staff – I’ve gone to great lengths at AC Computer
Shop to find people with a passion for teaching and sharing their Internet
experiences. My staff is both knowledgeable and eager to please.
2. Modern equipment – Part of the AC Computer Shop experience includes access
to modern computer equipment. My customers enjoy beautiful and convenient
units’ displays, fast machines, and high-quality printers.
3. Up-scale ambiance – When you walk into AC Computer Shop or even sit at my
waiting area, you'll feel the technology. Great sound background, nice lighting
that sets the mood and the whole area was clean.
4. Clear the vision of the market need – AC Computer Shop knows what it takes
to build an upscale computer shop. I and my staff know the customers, the
technology, and how to build the service that will bring the two together.
Weaknesses
1. A dependence on quickly changing technology – AC Computer Shop is a place
for people to experience the technology of the Internet. The technology that is the
Internet changes rapidly. Product lifecycles are measured in weeks, not months.
AC Computer Shop needs to keep up with the technology because a lot of the AC
Computer Shop experience is technology.
2. Cost factor associated with keeping state-of-the-art hardware – Keeping up
with the technology of the Internet is an expensive undertaking. AC Computer
Shop needs to balance technology needs with the other needs of the business. One
aspect of the business can't be sacrificed for the other.
Opportunities
1. Growing population of daily Internet users – The importance of the Internet
almost equals that of the telephone. As the population of daily Internet users
increases, so will the need for the services AC Computer Shop offers.
2. Social bonds fostered by the new Internet communities – The Internet is
bringing people from across the world together unlike any other communication
medium. AC Computer Shop will capitalize on this social trend by providing a

8. place for smaller and local Internet communities to meet in person. AC Computer
Shop will grow some of these communities on its own by establishing chat areas
and community programs. These programs will be designed to build customer
loyalty
Threats
1. Rapidly falling cost of Internet access – The cost of access to the Internet for
home users is dropping rapidly. Internet access may become so cheap and
affordable that nobody will be willing to pay for access to it. AC Computer Shop
is aware of this threat and will closely monitor pricing.
2. Rising local competitors – Currently, AC Computer Shop is enjoying a first-
mover advantage in the local computer shop market. However, additional
competitors are on the horizon, and I need to be prepared for their entry into the
market. Many of my programs will be designed to build customer loyalty, and it is
my hope that my quality service and up-scale ambiance won’t be easily
duplicated.
Market Needs
As the popularity of internet continues to grow at an exponential rate, easy and affordable
access is quickly becoming a necessity of life. Public wants access to the methods of
communication and volumes of information now available on the internet, and access at a cost
they can afford and in such a way that they are not socially, economically, and politically
isolated.
Market Trends
More than ninety percent of my customers are youngsters and their only objective to get
to these is to get enjoyment.
Marketing Strategies
I create some advertising strategies like I will print a thousand of fliers printed with the
total cost of Php. 908.00 (500 pieces on small fliers that cost Php. 220.50, while the second fliers
are also 500 pieces with the cost of Php. 687.50), a month before the opening me and my staff
will distribute the fliers. I will also put tarpaulin on the place itself where my shop is standing a
month before the opening. It will promote the services offered and also the opening of my
Computer Shop. To let the people know that there will be a new Computer Shop on the vicinity.
The tarpaulin size is 64” x 100”and amounting Php. 497.75.
Management Strategies
Maintain a focus on quality products with bottom-line growth through cost reduction and
optimal performance. I also focus on technology and innovation to make sure our employees
skills are up to standard with today’s mode of production.

9. Demand
Demand in Internet Services for the last five years:

2005 70,400
2006 82,800
2007 112,250
2008 175,110
As you can see there is 8.08 percent of demand in internet service in year 2004 and
increase of 6.6 percent on the next year. In 2006 there is 17.28 percent of demand in internet
service and increase of 6.14 percent in year 2007 and in the year 2008 there’s a demand of 36.54
percent in internet services.
I will use the “Arithmetic Straight Line” method in projecting the demand for the next
five years.
Yc = a + Yi - 1 Yc = initial value
Yn = final value
Yi – 1 = value for past years
where: a = Yn – Yc
N-1
Computation:
a = 175,110 – 38,720 = 34,098
5–1
2009 = 34,098 + 175,110 = Php. 209,208.00 2012 = 34,098 + 277,404 = Php. 311,502.00
2010 = 34,098 + 209,208 = Php. 243,306.00 2013 = 34,098 + 311,502 = Php. 345,600.00
2011 = 34,098 + 243,360 = Php. 277,404.00
