This paper was written for my Entrepreneurship class (BUS225) back in the Spring of April 2010. The project we had to do was to come up with a fictional business. We had to decide where the business was going to be located, identify our competitors, make a mission statement for the business, the form of ownership, and the total cash needed in order to start my business which includes capital and start up costs. Unfortunately, there is no Power Point associated with this project either, but it would have been a great project to make one for this topic.
The following resources come from the 2009/10 BSc in Internet Technology and E-Commerce (course number 2ELE0076) from the University of Hertfordshire. All the mini projects are designed as level two modules of the undergraduate programmes.
The objectives of this module are to examine the structure of shopping cart on e-Commerce websites and understand various usage of shopping cart:
• Identifying successful usage of shopping cart on e-Commerce websites
• Identifying different types of programming languages used for creating shopping cart
• Analysing different structures of shopping cart
• Using one of the chosen language to create a shopping cart for an online book store website.
This project requires examination of several famous e-Commerce websites and their individual usage of shopping cart. Students are required not only understand the successful examples on shopping cart usage, but also create their own shopping cart for an e-Commerce website.

Today, entering the online world is inevitable for any business. If you simply follow the traditional ways of doing business, not only will you not have new customers, but also lose old customers. Switching to an online business means starting your own online business from scratch or starting an online business alongside your traditional business. Like other "Smart Business" books, different angles of change to online business are explained to you in this book.

2. Summary Idea Idea --------------------- -----4 How ---------------------- -----5-12 Location--------------- -----13 What--------------------- -----14 Who---------------------- ---- 15 Marketresearch
3. Brainstorm We have had some ideas, we proceed to listsome of them: Printing and graphic design company Computers sales and mounting and computer devices sales and repairing services company Help desk and collective/particular classes company
4. Idea After thinking and deciding what we could and wanted to do, we've decided to plan a computer services and products enterprise which can offer various products and services from services of our first brainstorm and future ideas. We consider that in the computers field there are too many companies offering various products and services for everyone instead of offering it only for concrete customer profiles such as enterprise profiles. We like the computers field and we like to help people with their doubts and needs on that field. We've decide to name our company Classcomp, because as it's a mixed name that contains 'Class' and 'Computers', it has the 'class' word with the intention to make the people think we like to solve customers doubts and let them know what they are buying.
5. What ? We're going to offer various products and services. To start with, our sales and services are: Computer devices sales (CPU's, motherboards, power supplies, RAM memories, keyboards, printers, other peripherials...) Computer mounting, maintenance, and repairing services. Help desk (troubles with operative systems, troubles with internet connection/LAN settings, troubles with computer devices...) Computers knowledge classes. Concretely, we offer classes to people for having knowledge in basic/medium level of operative system use, basic level of computing concepts, and basic/medium level of programming, within software management classes such as Blender, Adobe Flash, Cubase... Local area network installations and configuration Others (web design, applications development, databases design...)
6. How? We want to show to the public an open and empathiccorporationimage, with a dynamicview. In other words:we want to update our products and services continuously, accepting suggestions from our customers and counting on their suggestions for improving our products and services to keep them satisfied, trying as much as possible to assist them with cordiality and kindness to make our customers feel satisfied as they are to get what they needed and even more
7. BUDGET We've calculated we need around 200.000€ to cover our initial budget needs. The materials needed and its estimated cost are listed right below: We need a government, ICO credit line and banks loans to obtain the needed money for covering classcomp initial budget needs. We're considering to sell a part of classcomp actions to possible investors too.

10. Location We're thinking in offer our products and services with one shop and one main office being well communicated. Main office will be specialized in help-desk and computer classes, will be located in Barcelona. Shop well be located in Cerdanyola del Vallésandwill be specialized in everything related to hardware and local area networks installation and configuration. We can open more shops and offices in the Barcelona state in a middle term, and maybe cross Spain in large term, fixing in this last case our headquarters in Barcelona city.
11. Who? The worker profile we want is: Staff with official computer studied titled, interested in computers and liking to help people in that field. Staff with some empathic ability for making easier communicate with customers. Personal specialized in marketing. Staff specialized in company management, accounting and legal issues.
13. Marketresearchbrainstorming There are lot of enterprises dedicate to sell one concrete kind of product and/or service, so customers have to look in various companies. Some of them only give the product or service and don't suggest customers. Ones doesn't have website, others hides the prices, and a lot have only an exclusive customers profile such as enterprises.
14. Is there a room for our idea? We think we can take a good position in the computers market, and we think our enterprises can get satisfied easily by our guidelines. In fact, looking computer services companies, we haven't found any company as classcomp, altough we have found similar companies.
15. Marketresearch – ourcompetitors We've chosen 3 enterprises of possible competitors. Two from Barcelona and one from Cerdanyola del Valles. One competitor is EDYMA, from Barcelona. EDYMA is specialized in hardware services to enterprises. The other competitor from Barcelona is bcn computers. They're specialized in hardware and Mac computers sales/services And finally, the competitor from Cerdanyola del valles is lanciber.
17. Marketresearch – ourcompetitors Firstcompetitor: EDYMA Betterthan us in: They have 5 years of experience in their business They have a very good website, made with Adobe Flash, as you can see in the previous image of their website Worstthan us in: They only offer service for enterprises Their prices can be lowered by us, 5 hours of maintenance for they costs 267€, we can lower it to 190€ or less. They don't reveal the prices for all their services. Prices are only shown in one part of the maintenance services section
18. Marketresearch – ourcompetitors Second competitor: Bcncomputers Good points from Bcn computers: They have some services we dont have in a beginning(MAC specialization, data recovery...)

21. Marketresearch – ourcompetitors Second competitor: Bcncomputers BadpointsfromLanciber: They only offer their services for enterprises They don’t put the prices in their website
22. Marketresearch - conclusion Our most direct competitors have advantages we don't have and they have too disadvantages we don't have. Some of our disadvantages are solved with experience in our business. We can stabilize the advantages we have and improve our disadvantages, so we consider we are okay with our disadvantages because we have but we'll improve them for be good in the computers field
24. Strategies - Contact Classcomp will have contact with customers with next vias: Phone Fax E-Mail Conventional mail Ouremail is classcomp.bcn@gmail.com Our website isn't operative yet, but we're working on it and soon will be avaliable.
