Editor's Notes
We asking for 75000 for 10% of the business.
Break even 5 months with ending balance of 39850 pounds. and estimate monthly profit of 45000 pounds
Turnover after 1 year 1,926,291 with net profit 766621
Annual and monthly grow is 15%
Opportunity is huge as our gross profit is less than 0.01% of £1 billion pounds what parents spend on kids lunches every year.
Option 1. We can consider higher percept from dragons but if 1 year we give him back half of their money they will give us back 10-20% of the company.
Option 2. We also can consider to give 30% if 2 dragons will be on board
Looking at the business analysis we can conclude that we reach our break even point in first three months of business and there on monthly growth by 15% for next 5 years
Considering this development in business would purely rely on cross functional activities of the company
Sales and promotion strategies can be designed in interest of stakeholders Suppliers (Farms warehouse’s and production sites) providing them our machineries and encouraging fair-trade
Proving reasonable credit limit of 90days to our supermarket and corner shop buyers
Promotional and marketing strategy creating win-win situation in benefiting customers and generating revenue for the company
