EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Page 5: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

The Work Life Management-Agency (WLM-Agency) offers companies under

contract exclusively an online market place which enables their employees to order

per mouse click childcare, eldercare and services around household from certified

service providers. The WLM Care Center, which employees can call for free, takes

care of all special requests and gives general information. In order to ensure high

quality, only selected certified service providers will be put on the WLM platform.

According to our online-survey conducted, in Germany employees spend on average 26

minutes per day at work for organizing their private life. This means that for an

employee with an annual salary of 48,000 € a company pays him or her 3,036 € per year

for organizing private issues. In this B2B we offer companies under contract a unique

possibility to support their employees at coordinating work and private life while

fully concentrating on their job. Furthermore, it increases their attractiveness as

employer and helps to recruit and retain qualified employees. This is essential to

survive especially in a tough economic environment like today, but difficult to

implement due to demographic developments.

In Germany, our service is unique, as it guarantees high quality of a bundle of the most

needed services, which can be ordered 24 hours per day at a one-stop-shop simply

per mouse click. Our target customers are industrial companies which employ between

several hundred and several thousand employees. This is the result of interviews with

companies of various fields of activities and was confirmed by a workshop we carried

out with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Rhine-Neckar and the Mannheim

Business School. Those companies showed the biggest interest, because they have the

financial power to invest in their employees and see the WLM platform mainly as a

solution for their HR-strategy to retain and recruit talented people. Nevertheless, also

other companies were very much interested, especially those which mostly employ top

qualified people like big law firms. But the latter expect top service quality that in the

beginning we cannot ensure. After having established an extensive network with

suppliers that ensure the availability of top quality services we might go additionally for

the highly profitable segment.

The WLM-Agency will start its business in Germany, because market research has

shown that throughout Germany there is a big need for solutions that enable employees

Page 6: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

to coordinate work and private life easily. We will start in the area of Rhine-Neckar as

there are many industrial enterprises and some of them already asked for the

implementation of the WLM platform. Furthermore, we were asked by the Chamber

of Commerce and Industry Rhine-Neckar for strategic cooperation, since the CoC

implements certifications for family-friendly companies and wants to build a network.

In order to grow and increase profitability we will expand within the first five years to

five other German areas where target customers are based.

The success of the WLM-Agency is linked to the availability of high quality services.

Selected and certified service providers look for cooperating with us in order to increase

significantly their number of customers with the same quality expectations within the

same region. Furthermore, we offer them access to their potential customers whose

income is above average and who are willing and able to pay higher prices. Therefore,

the service providers agree on doing business with the employees of the companies

under contract only via the WLM-Agency. Our main income sources are fixed monthly

fees paid by the companies. Provisions will be paid by the service providers for ordered

services and finally, family-oriented companies will pay for advertisement on the WLM

web page.

The founders, a team of five top executives of various fields, will start their business in

spring 2009 by founding a GmbH and hiring a highly qualified manager who will be

supported by “minijobers”. The goal of the WLM-Agency is to grow while mitigating

risk. Therefore, we will start with a pilot phase for the first two years based on a lean

structure which still allows us to serve the middle tier market with the expected quality

level. Afterwards, we will expand to a sizeable business in order to accelerate growth

and to build a strong cash position. At that time the number of staff will increase. Our

operations are worth a value of 1,000,000 € within five years yielding an average 43

% return on equity and a net margin of 12 %. We offer 35 % of our shares to

investors for financing 65 % of the equity in two rounds: a firm commitment of

62,000 € out of 95,000 € in total on the first round and an option of 223,000 € out of

347,000 € for the second round. It is a highly profitable opportunity for an investment

with moderate risk. Both, long term investment and exit by sale are promising, since the

market for work life management will increase significantly.

1. THE COMPANY

1.1. BUSINESS MODEL

The Work Life Management-Agency (WLM-Agency) is an electronic marketplace for

companies under contract (our customers). We enable their employees (consumers) to

order per mouse click services that simplify the organization of private life. The WLM-

Agency offers an electronic hub for connecting demand of employees and supply of

high quality services. Employees can order in particular:

• childcare,

• eldercare,

• services around household.

These are the most requested services by employees according to our online survey1 and

our workshop at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Rhine-Neckar (CoC)2. For

special requests or general information employees can also call the WLM Care Center

16 hours a day, seven days per week. Our Care Center will take care of any request that

might come up regarding such sensitive services. We guarantee high quality standards

for the offered services. We will only put service offers from selected certified service

providers on the WLM platform and implement a feedback system to ensure the

expected quality level. This B2B business helps our customers to recruit and retain

especially high potentials and talents and improve their image as attractive employer.

According to interviews we had with HR-directors and CEO’s3 of various company

types, this will be an important competitive advantage for the future4. Due to

demographic developments, the competition among companies to hire qualified and

talented people will increase significantly especially in Germany. In particular during

tough economic times which Germany faces today, those talented employees are crucial

to keep the business on the right track. The WLM platform furthermore enables

employees to fully concentrate on their career, while having a well-organized private

Chart 1: Business Model Overview

1.2. LEGAL FORM

The WLM-Agency will be founded in Germany and should therefore have a legal form

under German law. Legal forms of other countries might have implications on tax and

other issues that are difficult to handle. The founders of the WLM-Agency want to

establish an entity which legal form is recognized by customers, suppliers and investors.

Therefore, the company is going to be established as a GmbH under German law. The

GmbH must have a minimum founding capital of 25,000 EUR, which we can use for

doing business only under very restrictive conditions, since this is the minimum

ordinary share capital the law requires. Although the shareholders are not individually

liable, creditors can always fall back on these capital creditors. A GmbH can be run by

the managing directors. A supervisory board is not required since the WLM-Agency

Page 10: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

4/40

will employ less than 500 employees. The German Parliament has just amended the

GmbH law which came into force on November 1st, 2008. These reforms make the

foundation of a GmbH much easier, quicker and less expensive. The new version of

GmbH called “Unternehmergesellschaft (haftungsbeschränkt)“ which can be founded

without a minimum of capital has not been recognized among the German society and

will therefore not be taken into account as a real alternative to the well-known GmbH.

2. OUR SERVICE

2.1. SERVICE DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPANY

The WLM-Agency offers companies under contract exclusively access to an electronic

marketplace via internet, where their employees can order per mouse click services that

help him or her to better coordinate work and private life. This electronic hub connects

supply and demand of the most required services of employees which are childcare,

eldercare, all services around household and shopping assistance. This is the result of

our workshop at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, our interviews with HR-

directors and CEO’s and the online survey with employees. In the beginning, we will

focus on these services in order to ensure high quality standards. Only selected suppliers

that guarantee high quality services will have access to the marketplace and can offer

their services through the WLM platform. Suppliers have to proof our defined quality

requirements by certifications.

Furthermore, we will implement a feedback system. Users of the platform (employees)

are asked to fill out a feedback form in order to evaluate the quality of services they

ordered. These feedbacks will be published at the WLM platform so that potential users

can inform themselves in order to be sure that they get the expected quality. The

feedback system is also an important tool for quality control for the WLM-Agency and

their service suppliers.

Employees of the companies under contract get access to the platform via internet, so

that they can order services 24 hours per day, seven days per week. A company PIN-

Code ensures that only employees of companies under contract have access to the

WLM-platform. Our service enables employees to organize their private life in a very

simple, convenient and time-saving way. For special requests or general information the

Page 11: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

5/40

employees can call the free hotline of the WLM Care Center which deals with all raised

questions, concerns and requests. This is important since we deal with very sensitive

services. At least in the beginning users might want to have personal contact and later

on they want to be sure that they can call somebody who takes care of his or her issues.

Especially in cases of emergency it is important to have someone available for

immediate responds.

Furthermore, the WLM-platform offers advice and useful hints that are related to the

offered services (e.g. tax regulation, legal advice regarding employment of East

European care takers). Our platform also shows advertisement of companies that offer

special services that are interesting for employees, e.g. advertisement of gyms that take

care of children or family friendly restaurants and shopping areas.

The WLM-Agency agreed with several suppliers that they will offer their services for a

special price, if the agency will forward requests from the employees to them. The

suppliers agreed that there will be no direct contact between the employees and them.

They are willing to agree on that because the WLM-Agency gives them the chance to

get a lot more customers within the same region that have the same quality expectations.

Furthermore, the WLM-Agency offers them access to consumers whose income is

above average are who are willing and able to pay more for the requested services.

2.2. INNOVATION / COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

In Germany, the business idea of the WLM-Agency is unique for several reasons. For

many years, in Germany, people did not see a need to deal with the coordination of

work and private life issues. Mostly, there were traditional families with house wives

that took care of all private issues. Several years ago this changed dramatically.

Especially women with an university degree want to have both, family and career

opportunities. According to our market research results and our personal experience,

almost everyone in Germany is aware of this change, but the needs of people who have

to coordinate business and private life in Germany are not satisfied. There are

institutions, companies and individuals that offer services that are especially requested

by working people, but their solutions do not fully satisfy customer’s needs. We have

analysed the needs of employees that have to deal with work and private life issues, and

filled the gaps accordingly.

Mostly, individuals that offer services like house cleaning, childcare or eldercare are on

the black market, e.g. many women from East Europe offer cleaning services for

German households although they are not allowed to do so according to EU-law5/6 The

WLM-Agency only cooperates with suppliers (individuals or companies) that are

officially registered. Consumers are aware of the legal risks and want to hire people on

a legal basis. Furthermore, on the current market ordering services is usually time

consuming and the suppliers are barely flexible. For instance most German

kindergartens are owned by the local government or the church. Those institutions are

less customer-oriented. Ordering via WLM platform is quick, easy and 24 hours a day,

seven days a week possible. All the employees of our customers have to do, is ordering

per mouse click. Private institutions might be different to public kindergartens, but they

usually do not offer services on an “ad hoc-basis”. We offer services on ad hoc-basis or

regular basis (once a week, daily services, etc. or only in case of emergency).

The WLM-Agency is also unique, because it is a one-stop shop for the most requested

services. Although, there are several internet platforms that offer services around

household or childcare, but either those platforms only offer one of these services not a

5 There is a huge black market especially in the service sector. In 2001, the police controlled 350 households in Frankfurt. 211 of those households employed foreigners illegally. See Annex 6.

Page 13: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

7/40

bundle of the most requested services or they offer several services, but do not ensure

quality standards nor offer a comprehensive service package with a Care Center like we

do.7 We analysed that the quality issue is the key to success, because the demand side is

dominated by qualified employees that expect high quality standards. Therefore, the

quality aspect is a very important competitive advantage of the WLM-Agency. The

same goes for the special prices our suppliers offer the employees of our customers.8

2.3. VALUE PROPOSITION TO CUSTOMER

There are two main aspects on value proposition to our customers (companies). Firstly,

the WLM-Agency increases the efficiency of their employees significantly. The WLM

platform enables employees to fully concentrate on their daily business, since they do

not have to spend much time on organizing their private life. According to our online-

survey, today employees on average spend daily 26 minutes at work for organizing their

private life. This means that for an employee with an annual salary of 48,000 € a

company pays him or her 3,036 € per year for organizing private issues.9 Nearly half an

hour per day is needed, because in Germany, there is still missing an efficient way to

organize private life. By having access to the WLM platform the amount of time needed

will decrease significantly, since the WLM platform offers the most required services at

a high quality standard which can be ordered in a very easy and quick way. The

employees save time and our customers save significantly resources and money.10

The second important aspect on value proposition is recruiting and retaining qualified

and talented people. The WLM-Agency helps companies under contract to recruit and

retain especially high potentials and talents, since especially those employees expect

more than only a monthly payment by their employer. According to our interviews with

HR-directors,11 nowadays, qualified people who look for a job in Germany prefer

companies which enable them to have a career and a private life. This support is not

only expected by qualified women, but by all qualified employees that founded a family

(or intend to have children) together with a highly qualified partner, who also wants to

have a career and not stay at home (dual career). Additionally, hard working employees

without family also look for support. The interviewed HR-directors and CEO’s

confirmed that supporting employees at work life management will be an important

competitive advantage for the future. Due to demographic developments, the

competition among companies to hire qualified people will significantly increase,

especially in Germany. As a result of these aspects, companies that offer their

employees access to the WLM platform will:

• have a competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining qualified employees,

• increase the motivation and satisfaction of their employees,

• reduce fluctuation and absenteeism and

• get a reputation as good (best) place to work for.

Chart 3: WLM Value Creation

2.4. TARGET CUSTOMERS

Our target customers are companies that understand the essential need to support their

employees in organizing private life. Our interviews with HR-directors and CEO`s of

many different companies showed what kind of customers the WLM-Agency should

focus on. First of all, the more qualified people a company employs, the more it is

Page 15: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

9/40

interested in the WLM platform. Consequently, the more blue collar worker a company

employs, the less interested it is. At the same time the interviews made clear that

companies that mostly employ top qualified people like big international law firms are

very much interested in our services, but expect a maximum service quality that at least

in the beginning we cannot ensure (e.g. nannies which are German native speakers and

holding a university degree). Many smaller companies said they prefer an individual

solution for their employees and see no need to offer everybody within the company

access to a services platform. On the other hand, for ethical reasons they deny to offer

only a few people access to the WLM-Agency.

The workshop at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Rhine-Neckar (CoC)12 and

the exchange with staff of the CoC made clear the target group of the WLM-Agency are

companies of the industry that employ several hundred people, up to 10,000. Those

companies showed in general the biggest interest, because they are too big to offer their

employees individual solutions, have the financial power to invest in their employees

and see the WLM platform mainly as a solution for their HR-strategy to retain and

recruit talented people. Nevertheless, also companies outside the industry or with less or

more employees were very much interested.

2.5. LOCAL AREA

The WLM-Agency will start in Germany, because there is a big need for solutions that

enable employees to coordinate work and private life easily.13

We will start in spring 2009 in the Rhine-Neckar area around Mannheim. Our workshop

at the CoC with potential customers showed that this area has a wide range of industrial

enterprises which either already said they want to implement the WLM platform or at

least signalled that they are very much interested. Furthermore, the CoC asked us

whether we want to build a strategic cooperation, since the CoC intends to implement

certifications regarding family-friendliness of companies and looks for a network. The

WLM-Agency and the CoC will have to negotiate the details like provisions, etc. This

12 See Annex 2 - Results of the Workshop of WLM-Agency at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry 13 See Chapter 2.2. Innovation and Competitive Advantage: background of this special need in Germany

Page 16: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

10/40

cooperation will be a door opener for the WLM-Agency, because the CoC in Mannheim

has a very good reputation.

18 months after our start, we will expand in other areas with many companies that

belong to the target group in Berlin, Bielefeld, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Stuttgart. Each year

one or two new areas will be covered.14

3. MARKET RESEARCH

A flood of secondary market research information serves as proof for the success of the

business model of the WLM-Agency. The following structure helps to gain insights

from different perspectives from WLM customers (companies) and their employees

(consumers). The statements that are gathered through numerous available studies are

supported by pointed primary research methods that get to the heart of WLM business

model.

3.1. MARKET RESEARCH - DEMAND

Currently a main subject of discussion in economy, society, and politics is the challenge

to combine private life – especially family – with professional life15. We notice that

companies now are starting to calculate the benefits of family friendly activities into

economic figures. Surveys by the German government suggest that employers

motivations to invest in such activities are to:

• retain high qualified employees (for 83.4%);

• increase the job-satisfaction (for 81.1%);

• reduce fluctuation and number of persons on sick leave (for 78.4%).16

On the one hand, 84% of top managers are convinced that family friendliness is a

economic factor for Germany17; the deficit of qualified employees becomes acute, this

is why employers want to offer them striking features. On the other hand, politics are

concerned about the reversed demographic pyramid and try to enable supportive

11/40

measures with various government actions, like tax deduction. Especially childcare

services and services around the household are tax deductible,18 since the German

government wants to increase the demand for those services and to give an incentive for

avoiding the black market.

Secondary Market Research

Employer

Due to the demographic development and the unsatisfying German education system there

is a growing lack of qualified employees in the German labor market. Therefore, staff

marketing and employer branding become more important. Employee retaining is now

considered as an important Key Performance Indicator. According to a survey of the Boston

Consulting Group and the World Federation of Personnel Management Association, there is

no other resort of HR activities that German personal manager find more important than the

demographic change.19

In the Rhine-Neckar Area, 10,678 companies are listed at the CoC. The area is quite

healthy. The unemployment rate of 3.9% in Baden-Württemberg, the state where Rhine-

Neckar is located, is much lower than the average rate of 7.1% in total Germany20.

Page 18: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

12/40

WLM-Agency has decided to start its business in the region of “Zukunft

Metropolregion Rhine-Neckar (ZMRN)”. 37 companies are member of the ZMRN-

project with a total sales volume of 48,139 Mio € and 158,320 employees21. The

population growth forecast of ZMRN area is, with over 102 %, more optimistic than for

total Germany22.

Employee

A strong employer branding is an essential asset in the “war for talent”.

While the amount of work-related accidents decreases, behavioural and psychological

disturbances of employees drastically increase. The ratio of absence days increases from

6.6% to 10.5% reports the confederation of German psychologists23 in its evaluation

about psychotically health in 2008.

A survey24 of 528 employers from companies in Rhineland-Palatinate showed that a

well balanced work-private life is very much appreciated amongst the persons

questioned. More than two third are convinced that employee’s performance increase

with more family-liked service supplies. In the recruitment of workers, family-friendly

measures are seen as an advantage by almost two thirds. In terms of employee turnover

(76%) and absenteeism (70%), family-friendly measures are predominantly recognized.

Moreover 89% of the employees think that their work performance increases under

family-friendly conditions.

We also expanded our research abroad. The US research firm Universum conducted a

survey among 44,000 undergraduates in the US and found out that the future generation

wants work-life balance, because “they know they will be working more hours”.25

Several experts who have been interviewed by the USA Today made the same

conclusion.26

With a look on the different generations on the work place, nowadays, four generations

are present: Veterans, Boomers, GenXers, and Generation Y (or Millennials). Each

13/40

generation has different perceptions of leadership and work27: Amongst a total of

758,458 employees in the ZMRN area, the most represented are GenXers followed by

Boomers. GenXers want work life balance “now”, Boomers are the “Sandwich

Generation” which have to manage childcare and eldercare at the same time. The

number of employees that themselves hire people for private issues increases, but there

is still a gap between potential and actual utilization. Needs for developing a more

balanced life are there and very promising for the WLM-Agency28.

Primary Market Research

Employer

We did our primary research especially in the fields of our potential customers. We started

first in gathering information during 14 interviews with CEO’s or HR directors of many

different companies and various industries and sizes throughout Germany29. These

interviews showed that companies that employ qualified employees and talents recognized

the importance of offering family friendly actions and other supporting measures in order to

meet this request in the labor market. However, only few companies, mostly large

corporations, offer work life management activities like childcare, holiday camps for kids or

concierge services to cover daily life’s needs. This gap between expectation and reality

explains why most of the interviewed companies were very much interested in our services.

We concluded from these interviews, that the higher the number of qualified employees, the

bigger the interest.

In cooperation with the CoC, the MBS, and the Metropolitan Region Rhine-Neckar, we

then organized a company workshop in order to present our business model and to check

the demand and the need of services. The CoC invited for us industrial companies from the

Rhine-Neckar area which are members of the network of family friendly companies of the

“Forum Vereinbarkeit Familie und Beruf”. The discussions showed that big corporations

like Roche Diagnostic, MVV or John Deere offer family friendly actions, while middle size

and smaller companies like Pfalzwerke and MBS do not have the HR resources to organize

these supporting services. All of them have a high demand in these services, which are not

yet all covered.

This workshop helped us to determine the target group of customers and the main services

requested from employer side, which are again childcare, eldercare and all services around

household. Further it gave insights about additional service expectations.

Employee

To identify the real need of German employees we undertook an extensive online

survey.30 Responses from about 320 employees throughout Germany have been

collected and analyzed. Participants were members from BPW (Business Professional

Woman Association), MBS, students and alumni, and others. Industry branches and

sizes representation were dominant in services and research/University. Their company

culture are mainly German style.

The most interesting and important outcome of the survey is the fact that a German

employee spends about 26 minutes of his/her working time for private issues. This time

is used for organizing their private life: individual and family needs. The most wanted

services are all kind of care: for children, elder people, pets, but also services around

household and car washing. Whatever personal issues are solved during this 26 minutes,

the costs for the employer are significant. An average of 26 minutes per day means 92

hours per year, 11 working days per year. This leads to costs of 3.036 €, lost per year

and per employee! The calculation is based on 211 working days per year and an

average yearly salary of 48,000 €.

3.2. MARKET RESEARCH – SUPPLY

According to the results of the online survey31 and the company workshop32, the most

requested services from companies and employees are childcare, eldercare and all

services around household. In general there is a wide and growing range of service

offers available, mostly offered by B2C companies. This includes local offices, regional

30 See Annex 1 – Results of the Online-Survey with Employees 31 See Annex 1 – Results of the Online-Survey with Employees 32 See Annex 2 – Results of the Workshop of WLM-Agency at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Page 21: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

15/40

and interregional organizations, municipal institutions, individuals, and finally, a lot of

internet platforms with a selection of service offers, which deliver the requested services

directly or just link demand and supply. Interviews with selected service providers

demonstrated the high interest in future collaboration with the WLM-Agency, in order

to enter in the B2B business and increase turnover33. As we will start our business in the

Rhine-Neckar area, the supply research was mainly focused on this region34, but also in

Frankfurt and Berlin.

Childcare

According to the Federal Statistical Office, currently just 17.8 % of children below 3

years are provided with external childcare service (12.2 % in West Germany, 42.4% in

East Germany). The coverage of children that are between three and six years old is

about 89%.35 According to the law for expansion of childcare for children under the age

of 3 years (TAG) and the law of child advancement (Kinderförderungsgesetz - KiföG)

the Federal Government aims to cover 35 % of those children by 201336. This means the

creation of 230,000 additional seats in childcare institutions and the increase of care

quality. In 2008, the German Chamber of Commerce (DIHK) 37 executed a survey with

6,700 public childcare institutions. According to this survey, there is still a high lack of

childcare beyond the opening hours, emergency care, holiday support and also of

qualified personnel. Only 6% of these childcare institutions are cooperating with

companies by offering some contingents.

A good alternative to childcare institutions are “day mothers” which are organized by

day mother associations or youth welfare offices. Main difference to childcare

institutions is that they offer a higher flexibility regarding the individual needs of

childcare and cover the lack of childcare for children under three years. The Federal

Government started initiatives to optimize the framework of “day mother” regulation in

order to increase their qualification and to ease the organization38.

Page 22: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

16/40

The CoC Rhine-Neckar just developed a databank for childcare with exclusive access

for their members39. This databank includes all services around childcare, including

childcare institutions, day mothers, babysitting, holiday camps and school tutoring. In

order to offer their clients an optimal quality, the CoC organized education programs for

babysitters and day mothers. As the CoC offered us future collaboration, this databank

could be linked with our service platform. In addition to that, a lot of B2C service

providers offer in their portfolios childcare executed by their own certified staff. Those

service providers showed the most interest to work with us since they have a big interest

in expanding and getting in touch with high income clients. The main challenge for the

WLM-Agency is to organize a reliable concept for childcare out of a high variety of

offers.

Eldercare

By 2030, one of three citizens will be older than 60 years. Furthermore, the German

population is decreasing. In order to cover the growing need in eldercare the Federal

Ministry for Family Affairs developed a concept to promote the attractiveness and to

optimize the qualification of the care and nursery profession40. Our company workshop

showed that the demanded services of eldercare are not the nursery services, as these are

well organized on a professional level. Most important is the daily support of elderly

people or their families, like organization of household, cooking, shopping or just

entertainment. Therefore, our main goal is to cover the demand for eldercare by offering

services around household.

Household: International comparisons show that the key to success for the introduction

of household services is the reduction of administration and easy organization for

service providers. The continuously increase of so called “Minijobs” in private

households of Germany, demonstrates that this is a real alternative to the “black market”

on a legal base. Minijobers are people who work part time, earn up to 400 EUR net per

month and do not have to pay social security contributions. Income tax of 20 % can be

paid by the employer. These attractive conditions encourage people who only want to

39 http://www.phpserver001.de/mrn/kinderbetreuung.html 40 http://www.bmfsfj.de/bmfsfj/generator/Politikbereiche/aeltere-menschen.html

Page 23: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

17/40

work a few hours per month to do so rather on a legal base than on the black market.

Another activity to promote family supporting services is the innovation competition

“Unternehmen Familie” (= company family). The German Minister for Family Affairs,

Ursula von der Leyen, awarded the 12 best projects “Company family - innovation

through family supporting services”.41

Besides B2C service providers, who are offering a range of services around household,

gardening and pet care, a lot of local offices and shops cover daily needs, like washing

and cleaning services, car washing, shopping services, delivery of beverages, window

cleaning etc.

In brief , there is a high offer of service supply. The main challenge for the WLM-

Agency is to identify out of the variety of service providers the right mix of reliable and

qualified suppliers. There are internet companies, that offer a range of B2C services

provided by their own certified staff. These companies which have a network all over

Germany due to franchise concepts are potential future suppliers. But also the

collaboration with local institutions and shops are essential, because of the proximity to

the customer. Finally, strategic alliances with institutions like the regional CoC are

qualified sources for supply.

3.3. COMPETITION AND SUBSTITUTE

Generally there is only a small number of competitors, which offer WLM services B2B

and only a few substitutes. The following table shows the main competitors and

substitutes. The most important features are categorized and evaluated in comparison to

the WLM-Agency.42

Page 25: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

19/40

The biggest competitor is the “PMEFamilienservice GmbH”. Our interviews as well

as our workshop at the CoC showed that many companies are not completely satisfied

with the collaboration with the “Familienservice”: on the one hand they mainly do

intensive and time consuming consulting of employees and on the other hand their

payment system is very complicated. The companies under contract have to pay

according to a credit point system, which most of the interviewed companies could not

even explain. “Besser Betreut GmbH”: does not have any quality control. Everybody

is allowed to register and to offer services. The interviews and the workshop showed

that quality control is crucial for all of our potential customers, so that “betreut.de” is

not a real competitor. “CareTaker GmbH” is not specialized on the services we offer

and has no quality guarantee.

Substitutes:

Public institutions do mostly not cover the needs of fulltime employees and have a

limited availability. The main substitute for the WLM-Agency could be the black

market. Especially household services and eldercare are offered on the black market,

because of the lack of sufficient infrastructure in Germany. The WLM-Agency deals

with this lack by coordinating supply and demand in the selected areas. Furthermore,

consumers prefer to order services on a legal basis, since the majority fears the legal

risks of hiring people illegally. For companies these legal risks are even higher, so that

the black market is not a real alternative to the WLM-Agency.

4. MARKETING AND SALES

4.1. MARKETING AND SALES STRATEGY

The Marketing and sales strategy reflects the vision, mission and values of the WLM-

Agency.43 The strategy is focused on the value creation for companies who want to

offer WLM services to their employees in order to have on one hand a competitive

advantage in recruiting and retaining qualified employees, on the other hand an increase

Page 26: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

20/40

in work efficiency. Additionally, the strategy is focused on the need of these qualified

employees.

4.2. POSITIONING

As mentioned44 the WLM-Agency targets industrial companies which employ between

several hundreds up to 10,000 people. These target companies expect high quality. Not

only the services that employees can order per mouse click have to be of high quality,

but also all other issues around the business relation between us and the company and

their employees. This means that the platform must be reliable, the WLM Care Center

available and led by qualified staff and finally the payment system has to be simple and

comprehensible. This expected level of quality is different from those of big

international law firms and consulting companies. Consulting and law firms which

demonstrated a very high interest in the service platform expect not only high quality

but top quality standards45. As this cannot be guaranteed in the beginning, we will start

at the industrial segment. Later, with growing experience, we might enter the top tier

segment. Manufacturing companies which employ mostly blue collar workers are not

interested in our services at all, not even at a low quality level. Even if those production

companies would get interested they probably will not ask for our quality segment.

Therefore these companies are not potential future clients.

4.3. SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

A strategic cooperation with the CoC Rhine-Neckar will be an important way to get in

touch with our target companies, since the CoC has a significant network of family

friendly companies and a very good reputation. Our second distribution channel will be

direct contacts to CEO’s or the HR directors of companies that might be interested.

Since it is difficult to get in touch with unknown and busy managers, our general

manager has to look for ways that allow him to meet those people. So he has to join

business organizations, interest groups, participate in local activities, as described in

chapter 4.5. In a later stage, after having developed a brand name and a reputation, sales

will be proceeded by a sales and key account manager.46 The same concept of

distribution channels applies for the other regions we will do business at. In the long run

the distribution through a franchise concept could be considered.

Table 2: Number of Contracts within the first 5 years

4.4. SPECIAL SERVICES

It is an important strategic goal to achieve customer loyalty and retention. Therefore, we

will offer in addition to the service platform a selection of supporting services to the

companies and their employees. At the beginning of a business relationship with our

customer an online survey will be proceeded, in order to find out which services the

46 See Chapter 7. - Implementation Plan.

Page 28: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

22/40

employees of our customers exactly need. Installation, maintenance and actualization of

the platform are evident services which are included. In addition to that, the

establishment of a ROI (Return of Investment) tool is planned. By this tool the company

will be provided with monthly or yearly statistics about the number of users and the

number of requested services. In order to optimize the services to the final consumers

(employees) we establish the WLM Care Center which has comfortable opening hours

and well trained staff. Based on a feedback system of the employees, a rating system

with information about the service quality will be published. The platform will also

publish general information and news about family friendly institutions, like restaurants

and shopping areas, as well as local child related activities and education programs,

information about tax deductions for childcare services, etc. In the long run, we plan the

further development of the service platform with an advanced functionality for the users

such as personalized discount package to employees, voucher mechanism, billing and

invoice details. We will target a roadmap of functionalities to consumers such as online

booking of services, and online payment of services.

4.5. PRICING STRATEGY

The pricing strategy follows the general marketing and sales strategy which is, on one

hand, focused on the value creation for our customer (company) and the final consumer

(employee) and, on the other hand, on our value proposition, which is described with

the three keywords: quality, reliability and efficiency.

The pricing concept includes:

• a monthly membership fee for the companies under contract

• the costs of services provided by service providers

• the provision for the ordered services

• the revenues from affiliated marketing.

Chart 5: Pricing concept

Membership fee

The customer (company) has to pay a fixed monthly membership fee, based on a yearly

contract. The company workshop has confirmed that a fixed membership fee is the

preferred payment system, justified by two reasons: less administration and tax

advantages. The price of the membership fee is related to the value proposition to the

customer and mainly based on three aspects:

I We sell high quality, reliablility and efficiency and offer a unique solution

which includes a comprehensive service package:

• process of making our platform available for company’s employees

• pre-selection and availability of high quality and reliable services via our platform

• matching demand of employees and supply of requested services

• guaranteeing the flow of the requested services and

• special service package described in part 4.4.

II Increase attractiveness of companies as employer by offering the WLM

platform to their employees.

III Increase efficiency of employees: Savings of the company due to the increase

of employee’s efficiency.

In the pricing model there is no differentiation between big, medium or small

companies. The financial effort in offering the service platform does not depend on the

company size, but on the number of users. A scaled pricing system, calculated on the

Page 30: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

24/40

estimated quantity of users will be implemented. The number of real users can be

revised due to the ROI tool.

50- 200 120 € 15,000 €

500 – 1000 40 € 30,000 €

1000 – 5000 24 € 40,000 €

Table 3: Membership fee

Service Prices

The service prices are based on two facts:

• The final consumers are primarily qualified employees and high potentials who have a higher income.

• It is a clear strategic goal to offer reliable services with a guarantee of high quality, executed by certified service providers.

Therefore, the pricing is based on the right price performance ratio and not on

competition with the low price segment or the black market. Good quality, reliability,

flexibility, certification and the ease of booking are the competitive advantages, which

justify higher service prices. Nevertheless, there will be a price reduction for employees

that order through the WLM platform, since the WLM-Agency negotiated a price

reduction with suppliers, who agreed on that because they expect increasing turnovers

and benefits from economy of scale.

Service Price per hour

Household services 16€ - 19€

Childcare / eldercare 18€ - 22€

Babysitting, tutoring of homework etc. 9€ - 12€

Others, i.e. concierge services, shopping, pet sitting etc. 7€ - 10€

Table 4: Service Prices

Page 31: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

25/40

Provision

The supplier has to pay a provision to the WLM- Agency in two ways:

• 3% - 5% of the service turnover, (tailored, depending on sort of services used) or

• unique allowance, based on fixed service contracts (full time, half time etc.).

The service provider will agree on the payment of provision as he will achieve an

increasing service turnover with lower payment risks due to solvent customers.

Additionally, he will gain a competitive advantage against the increasing number of

B2C service companies.

Affiliated Marketing

The WLM-Agency will provide on the service platform information about family

friendly locations, like child orientated restaurants, shopping areas with childcare

service, etc. This additional service is based on the results of the workshop at the CoC

Rhine-Neckar, where the participants asked for that kind of information on the WLM

platform.47 The advertisement of the family friendly companies offers an additional

income source based on the concept of affiliated marketing. (Internet banners).

4.6. PROMOTION

Our promotion strategy is focused on the development of the brand name and the

reputation as a high quality and reliable service company. Promotion activities will

mainly be addressed to the target companies but also to their employees. If there are a

lot of employees interested in our services, the motivation for a company to invest in the

WLM platform will increase. Furthermore, the monthly fee with increase with the

number of employees using our services. The development of a web page which is

available for both, employer and employee is an important marketing action.

Furthermore, high presence on the internet supported by high hit-rates at search engines

like Google or Yahoo are very important.

In the first year we plan a budget for flyers with information about the company and the

services offered. The most important communication channels are the strategic partners,

47 See Annex 2 - Results of the Workshop of WLM-Agency at the CoC Rhine-Neckar

Page 32: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

26/40

like the CoC Rhine-Neckar, and memberships in professional institutions and

organization. They offer an useful network and also the tool to provide flyers, to publish

the internet link of the WLM-Agency. Furthermore, the network enables to enter in

direct contact with the relevant persons (i. e. BWP, Chamber of Commerce, Industry

Clubs). Partnerships with family orientated organizations like “Bündnis Familie”

(alliance family) or “Erfolgsfaktor Familie” (success factor family) are important door

opener to family orientated companies and can be promoted on our homepage and vice

versa.

Participation on competitions for WLM or family friendly awards as well as

certifications will lead to highly welcome publicity. The participation in professional

fairs or HR fairs (PERSONAL 2008) will also be considered.

In the following years we plan to publish advertising in some selected business journals

in order to reach the CEOs or HRs. (PERSONAL, HRM.de, Human Resources News,

Manager Magazin, or WirtschaftsWoche etc.). Finally, we will also put ads on

newspapers and magazines employees read reguarly.

5. RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

SWOT - Analysis of the WLM-Agency:

Strengths: • First entrance - open new market • Guarantee for high quality services • One-stop shop • Access to comprehensive service

package

Weaknesses: • WLM Care Center is labor intensive • Quality management

Opportunities: • War on talents • Awareness of German government

concerning WLM • Strategic alliance with Chamber of

Commerce • Top tier of market pyramid

Threats: • Limited availability of high quality

services • Competition • Being copied by other companies • WLM not considered as strategic asset

5.1. RISKS (WEAKNESSES AND THREATS)

The business model of the WLM-Agency is based on a low investment, especially in the

first two years. Furthermore, exit is simple and feasible in short term. All in all, the risks

we face are low.

Page 33: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

27/40

The WLM Care Center is labor intensive and its value creation is sensitive to the

number of consumers using it. We therefore create a very user-friendly platform and

evaluate the issues addressed to the WLM Care Center. The quality management is also

very important, since quality is a key competitive advantage and our value proposition.

In the beginning our general manager will do the quality management, afterwards we

hire a quality manager. Furthermore, we developed a pre-selection process for the

suppliers we will collaborate with and using our feedback and rating system for

controlling.

Our success depends on the availability of high quality services. The main task of our

company will be to ensure cooperation with selected certified service providers, who

can guarantee the availability of the requested services at the expected quality level. We

have therefore contacted several certified service providers to ensure that many of them

are willing to cooperate48. Especially B2C service providers are very interested in

cooperation in order to increase their turnover and to get in touch with promising

customers. On the long run a backward integration of the supply might be an option.

Like all successful business models, ours might be copied at some stage. Copy rights

are not applicable, since our business idea is no patentable invention. We are aware of

future competition. We will take the advantages of being first market entrant, gather

experience in the pilot phase and develop the concept in order to ensure the competitive

advantage. The gathered experience will allow us to expand in other areas in a short

time. Furthermore, we have the chance to build a network with suppliers that allow us to

enter additionally the very profitable top tier market. Backward integration would also

be a major competitive advantage. Finally, cooperation with competitors might be

considered, e.g. connections with electronic market places that cannot ensure high

quality services on their own.

Finally, work life management might not be seen as a strategic asset by the companies.

In times of cost cutting it will be a major challenge for us to convince our potential

customers that our services will increase employee’s efficiency and that work life

management generally increases productivity.

48 See Annex 15 A/B/C - List of service providers that showed interest in cooperation with the WLM-Agency

Page 34: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

28/40

For quantitative analysis of the risks see sensitivity analysis.49

5.2. OPPORTUNITIES AND STRENGTH

The extensive market research has shown that we have considerable strength and

opportunities. Our business model just comes up at the right time.

As first market entrant we create and capture considerable value. We keep the

competitive advantage by continuously developing the business concept and expanding

in other areas while benefiting from synergies. Our one-stop shop and the

comprehensive service package are unique on the German market. As mentioned we

developed a reliable process to ensure the expected quality level.

As shown in chapter 3.1 there will be a “war on talents” due to the demographic

development in Germany and due to the unsatisfying German education system. For

companies it is therefore essential to offer not only high salaries but also support on

work life management.

The awareness of the German government that work life management has an impact on

the demographic and economic development has increased and will lead to a rising

demand on WLM services. There are already tax deductions on income tax for

childcare, services around household and others. The employee does not have to pay

income tax nor social security contribution for childcare that is provided by the

employer. Furthermore, the German government intends to increase childcare for

children under three by 2013 significantly50.

The Chamber of Commerce Rhine-Neckar asked for strategic alliance. This is a real

opportunity to get in touch with many companies that are interested in our business.

Finally, we will have the opportunity to enter the top tier market after having

established a reliable network with top service supplier. This segment is very profitable.

Table 5: Summary Staff Planning and Functions

Our value proposition focuses on three main key words: quality, reliability and

efficiency. Therefore, our business organization has to reflect our ability to fulfill

these values through appropriate work force, organization and implementation

schedule.

Our solution is at first delivered trough out a valued network. This valued network is

relying on dedicated organisation to the family awareness such as regional chamber of

commerce, etc. Our sales force will heavily leverage those network to gain access to

B2B (target customers).

Our strategic sourcing is a key success factor and will be supported by a supplier

homologation process relying on key certification. We intend to develop a strong

continuous evaluation process using online rating by employee using a moderation step.

Solution access is granted through an e-platform which we intend to develop in five

steps, one per year, funded by our earnings.

Business delivery function is implemented with a Care Center that we expect to be the

main contact point of employees when starting using our solution. We expect each

51 Minijob contracts during the first two years

Page 36: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

30/40

employee to call at least 3 times a year for 30mn workload at the beginning of our

operation (inclusive of the request assessment, search and contact and delivery of the

service). We expect this call rate to drop as we improve our e-platform and gain

experience.

We will start up using minijobs contract type and a light organisation requiring a

“virtual” phone network, before converting our WLM Care Center into a full time

position and physical office structure in order to leverage our know-how and improve

our quality to employee. Depending on our structure the number of positions will

evolve over time. We plan to invest in a knowledge database (similar to a customer

business intelligence tool support) in order to leverage our WLM Care Center.

7. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

We reasonably foresee two main parts in our development: a business development step

and a business roll out phase.

7.1. FIRST 2 YEARS: THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PHASE OR “P ILOT ”

The first 2 years as a start-up, the WLM-Agency will mainly focus on sales and related

supply. The challenge is to gain first sales contracts, and build reliability and quality

image through chosen suppliers. This is why the first two years, our manager will deal

directly with supply issues in order to select, follow and manage partnerships with

adequate suppliers. The quality issue will be his or her main topic to ensure that our

value proposition is respected. For this, suppliers will be selected proving their

certification for childcare, and other services. These certifications will be regularly

challenged and measured via follow-ups and customer feedbacks.

Our second main focus will be on the WLM Care Center as it is the personalisation tool

to the final consumers (employees). To animate this Care Center, while keeping costs

under control, we intend to hire minijobers (home office) that will be trained regularly

to ensure quality and reliability. To facilitate the ease of use of the services the WLM-

Agency will give to their final consumers the possibility to request services online

through out a website.

The Rhine-Neckar and Berlin area will provide the necessary learning experience to

redesign a scalable business operation and e-platform.

7.2. AFTER THE 3RD YEAR:

We think that at the beginning of the third year our manager will be able to hire a full

time person to take this quality & supply issue in charge as it is one of our main value

proposition. During the third year we will strengthen the business by converting “mini-

jobs” into hired professionals and build our knowledge support database. We will

prepare our main investment in our e-platform by hiring a IT professional and develop a

sales team. The Bielefeld area will be the main target with this new sized-up business.

During the forth year, we should be able to hire additive people to insure a sustainable

development while keeping our customer value high. To improve our quality and skills

levels align with our value proposition we intend to hire a permanent internal trainer.

To deal and manage our “customer relationship” we will invest in the construction of

our e-platform: from a simple website during the first two years, we target a platform

enabling advanced functionality for our corporate users such as personalized discount

package to employee, voucher mechanism, billing and invoice detail. We will target a

roadmap of functionalities to consumers such as online booking of services, rating of

services, online payment of services, etc. At the same time, we intend to expand our

sales force to assist the general manager in gaining and following customer’s contracts.

Our target during the forth year will be Frankfurt and Hamburg. All other functions

such as accounting, payment, administration, legal issues will be outsourced.

8. FINANCIAL PLANNING AND FINANCING

8.1. STRUCTURE AND CAPITALIZATION

The WLB-Agency intends to grow from a “seed” company the first two years to a

sizeable business model from the third to fifth year. Therefore, the legal form has to be

both suitable to a German start up but also limit owner’s liability in order to mitigate

risk. This is why we have decided to establish our company as a GmbH with 25,000 €

of fixed capital52. The management team intend to develop our activities into two steps:

52 For further details on the legal form see Chapter 1.2.

Page 38: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

32/40

First step (year 1 and 2): The management team will settle the company on the market

with offering the expected quality level with minimum investments (light platform

development, lean structure composed of “minijobs” and a general manager). For this

step one, the company needs a total of 95,000 € from which 25,000 € are fixed capital

needed for founding the GmbH and 70,000 € for the settling of operations. Once this

“pilot” model is validated, the team intends to go one step further in developing our

activities. The second step (year 3 to 5) will allow to develop very quickly professional

database knowledge, a fine-tuned website, and to hire skilled staff.

These two steps are mandatory in order to become a leading player on the market and

bring cash in what would allow the WLM-Agency to enter additionally the 3rd the top

tier of the pyramid as a third step. WLB-Agency intends to capitalize the company with

full equity during the starting phase then to use debt as leverage in order to reduce the

costs of financing. We will then be in a position to accumulate cash and invest heavily

in the 6th year. To enter this business with us, the team offers investors 35 % shares of

WLM-Agency for 65 % of the total investments. This means a first investment of

62,000 € to start the business and an option to invest 225,000 € in a second round. The

founders will bring the remaining capital.

8.2. THE FINANCIAL PLAN53

As stated in this business model, the company aims at being a service provider to

companies that want to retain high potentials and offer “alternative” solutions to their

managers to improve efficiency.

8.2.1 THE INCOME STATEMENT

Given these hypotheses, the main estimations concerning revenues are derived from the

number of contracts54 settled both with potential customers and related business with

the suppliers. WLM-Agency’s potential customers have been evaluated according to the

extensive market research, statistics and figures given by the CoC or other sources.55

53 See Annex 18 – Financial plans 54 For number of contracts with customers see Part 4.3. 55 See annex for interview results, statistics and result of workshop at the Chamber of Commerce.

Page 39: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

33/40

The essential streams of revenues come from the customers, the suppliers and in a later

stage from advertisement56. The flow of the revenues is in line with the company’s

forecast of geographical expansion.

Income Statement of WLM-Agency 2009-2013 (base case):

The main streams of costs are related to operating activities and investments in the

platform. The first two years costs concerning operating activities are quite low as the

management team begins with minijobs with relatively low wages level and no office

location costs. As well the investments for the platform remain quite reasonable. This

leads to a loss of 57,480 € the first year but a small profit of 77,992€ in the second year

due to an increase in number of contracts.

In the third year the costs will skyrocket because of the switch from minijobers to

skilled full time employees. As well, WLM-Agency supports a big investment in the

platform and database knowledge. Although the team continues to expand

geographically, to gain contracts and uses debt to reduce financing costs, these heavy

investments won’t allow us to be in a profitable situation. WLM-Agency will recover

from these investments on 4th and 5th year due to the business development and gains in

productivity based to more professional staff and IT systems.

8.2.2 THE BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW STATEMENT

To be consistent with its business model, the management team intends to keep its

earnings from year to year to consolidate its cash position for its 6th year deployment. In

this perspective, WLM-Agency will place 80 % of its cash in security bonds at 3.5 %

and 20 % of its cash in stocks of companies operating in the same value chain as its

business model (yielding an estimated average return of 12 %). The two main financial

ratios adequate for the activity concern the return on equity and the net margin. Return

on equity yield an average 43 % if the team accepts the two years of equity funding. As

well the net margin is close to 12% in average on global activities.

can be reached. Nevertheless this business model also shows a special sensitivity to

pricing, cost of capital and operating costs.

This model is build to support 6 areas in Germany with global competencies (WLM

Care Center, IT, training, human resource management and quality) to support the

development and an e-platform which is intended to automate the end-user experience

and increase the productivity of WLM’s Care Center. Any increase in manpower cost

will have a negative impact on the net income. Some downsizing of the operations can

be implemented in order to limit the risk.

Total investment relies on the capacity to generate earnings and was phased out over

several periods. In a very depressed economy the management team may not be able to

sustain its investment plan and loose customer retention as a result. Similarly a lower

pricing strategy will adversely affect its net income. The company’s financial

development plan is highly modular and will help mitigate risk from an economic down

turning.

Using this pilot run to adjust to more realistic trends and sizing the team may consider

several alternatives for the second round of fund raising or exit business.

8.2.4 VALUATION OF THE FIRM :

The valuation of the firm has been calculated according to the firm value model as

WLM-Agency is using both equity and debt in the developing stage. We took

following assumptions to ensure the calculation of the discount rate:

Based on German government bonds we estimated a risk free rate of 3.5 %. The risk

premium was evaluated at a market average of 6 %. However we estimate that we can

apply a 17 % market practice spread based on a high default risk that reflects a risky

start up company.57

57 See Annex 20 – Default Spread Risk

Page 44: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

38/40

For the beta, we have performed a peer group study with some other services companies

that gave us an average beta of 1.558 As a start up we consider ourselves as more risky

but as investment remains quite low, we have estimated that the beta concerning our

company could be of 1.9. Given these assumptions the net present value can be

discounted with a rate of 32 %, the 2 first years with full equity then to around 28 %

with mix of equity and debt. We also assessed a perpetual growth rate of 1.5 %.59

After five years, the discount rate was approximated to decrease to around 15 %.

The firm valuation is very sensitive to the three hypotheses the agency took as low,

realistic and high.

The low hypothesis gives a negative NPV of 240,740€. The difference in value between

the realistic estimation (1,043,096€) and the highest one (3,647,432€) is weighted with

a factor 3 which once again stresses the sensitiveness of our model to the number of

contracts and prices.

We have also decided to introduce debt during the 3 rd year with a minimum leverage

of total assets on equity of 25 % to save financing costs and reduce tax. This mix

financing allows us to gain 4 % return on equity at least the 4th year (compared to no

debt introduction) and to have a strong cash flow position throughout all periods of

activities.

These financial figures confirm that our business model will be healthy and

sustainable even on a quite though market.

The management team is sure that the WLM-Agency will be able to capture

additionally value from the top tier of the market pyramid. This way the agency will

switch from a “small fish in a big pound” to a “big fish in a small pound”!

9. EXIT OPTIONS

The founders of the WLM-Agency do neither want to sell their business nor to merge or

to float it. For investors a long term investment will be profitable, so will an exit by

58 See Annex 21 – Example of beta for service companies 59 See Annex 20 and 21

Page 45: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

39/40

sale, since the market on work life management is very promising.60 A sale of shares

would be simple, because the WLM-Agency will be a GmbH, a limited company.61

In case the business has to be shut down for whatever reasons total exit is also feasible

in a short term. First of all, the financial engagement of WLM-Agency is low -

especially in the pilot phase, and so is the risk of this business project as such.

Furthermore, the WLM-Agency as a limited company will keep a low risk profile for

the shareholders.

We need to be able to terminate all evergreen contracts without cause on short notice.

There are different categories of evergreen contracts:

1. Employment and the like,

2. Suppliers and customers,

3. Facilities, telephone etc.,

4. Service contracts like cleaning, security, web-services etc.

Employment Contracts: We do not have any direct influence on termination periods of

employment contracts as these are subject to mandatory employment laws. However,

initial termination periods are short, even under German law. Moreover, employees do

not have any protection against dismissal as long as WLM-Agency does not employ

more than 10 full time employees (Minijobers do not count as full heads).

Other Contracts (points 2.to4.): WLM-Agency can not expect to negotiate 30 days

notice for each of these categories. However, for most evergreen contracts it is realistic

to assume that a notice period between 30 and 60 days can somehow be agreed upon

with the partner – if need be, at slightly higher ongoing costs. The real estate market for

larger offices may require long term leases, but small offices such as WLM-Agency

needs after the pilot phase are available under short term notice periods.

We valued two exit scenarios at the end of each of our business milestones. An exit at

the end of the pilot phase is valued at around 25,000€ and a termination in five years

60 See Chapter 3.1. 61 See Chapter 1.2.

Outcome:

Demand on CHILDCARE:

- limited seats available in kindergartens and crèches

Page 60: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

Annex 2-10

- for external childcare and day mothers official certifications are needed (Chamber of

Commerce and Industry Rhine-Neckar offers additional day mother education, which is

requested))

- nanny who does in-house care (costs about 1.200,-€/month) and au pairs an official

certification is not necessary, but police clearance certificate and driving licence are requested,

transparency about qualification very important

- emergency care in case of illness or business travel over night

- childcare outside opening hours of kindergarten and school

- accompanying children from kindergarten back home

- shuttle service for afternoon activities

- babysitter with qualification ( i.e. “babysitting diploma” by Chamber of Commerce and

Industry)

- tutoring of homework (qualification: grading system for pupils according their school grades)

- childcare during school holidays, holiday camps, offers important in the beginning of the year

- there are few schools that work with star ranking, offer shuttle service, holiday occupation,

holiday camps, etc.

- childcare on spot during company events

=> in summary: there is a high need of childcare, especially outside the opening hours of

kindergarten and school, high quality and transparency about the quality standards are very

requested

Demand on ELDERCARE

- coordination for qualified eldercare

- information about institutions and laws

- all services around household and administration to support elderly people as well as their

family

- social care (to take elderly people for a walk, reading out books etc.)

- emergency care

- “day mothers” for elderly people

Demand on HOUSHOLD

4. ANNEX 4-A QUOTATIONS FROM CEO & HR D IRECTOR OF DEPUY, A

JOHNSON & J OHNSON COMPANY

Johnson & Johnson company, ranked as the world's most respected company by Barron's Magazine (September 2008). Its common stock is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the company is listed among the Fortune 500.

Harald F. Stock, PhD., Chairman & Managing Director DePuy Germany, a Johnson & Johnson company

“The one and only future competitive advantage will be to attract and retain a new generation of talents who value work-life-balance equally high as they pursue career opportunities. For companies to offer them options to lead a family life AND have a

successful professional career will be crucial. Such a service will be a key cornerstone!”

Kira Goertz, HR Manager DePuy Germany, a Johnson & Johnson company

“In the past, the candidates most frequently asked questions about their career opportunities in our company, but today, these questions focus more and more on their work-life balance. That shows quite clearly that both, their job and their families, are highly important to them. By expressing a clear message like that, the candidates will not ruin their careers. Quite on

the contrary, they will display strength as they prove that their personal environment impacts their career just as much as good professional networking for example.

These candidates, to my mind, are the ones that we ought to attract by innovative concepts!”

ANNEX 4-B EXTRACTS FROM STUDIES, BUSINESS WEEK , AND USA TODAY .

“Of the 37,000+ undergraduates surveyed by Universum this year, the No. 1 career goal was to balance personal and professional life. Building a sound

financial base ran a distant third.” “Bait for the Brightest— No time clocks, please. Recent grads don’t mind long hours—if they

can work them on their own time.”

BusinessWeek, September 18, 2006. The Bottom Line on Next Gen Workers. ______________________________________________________

“Unlike boomers who tend to put a high priority on career,

today's youngest workers are more interested in making their jobs accommodate their family and personal lives. They want jobs with flexibility, telecommuting options and the ability to go

part time or leave the workforce temporarily when children are in the picture.”

USA Today, July 2007 ______________________________________________________________________

Employment potentials IW Köln 2008:

- Existing potential through black market legalization and realization of demands

- Scenario analysis resulted into minimum 177,000 and maximum 766,000 full

employment. Realistic is about 300.000 household employees (= mean EU-15)

Benchmarking study, IZA Bonn / ExAkt Berlin 2007

- Germany can learn from good experiences with agencies in France and Belgium

- Supply of services through service checks should be in the centre of promotion

Instruments of employment politics, Uni Duisburg / Essen 2007

- Promotion of setting ups of self-employment business activities

- Financial government support does not reach families and aged people, solutions are

the transfer through check service ticket system

- Subsidies mainly for service agencies

Municipal Praxis, ISS Frankfurt a.M. 2007

- good concepts are existing often in combination with honorary office

- supply offers are existent however absence of aggregated platform

Accent study: Expectations and Achievement: Empowering Women from Within

According an online survey of 2,246 executives from middle and upper management,

German mothers want to go back to work as soon as possible after the child birth. 91%

Page 66: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

Annex 4-16

believe that it would be possible to combine their family life, children and job

requirements. The same opinion are only 41% in Great Britain and all the same 70% in

the USA.

______________________________________________________________________

“Most of HR departments are not prepared for the new demographic changes. This HR

manager esteem their own ability dealing with aging staff quite low: on a scale from 0 to 13

they rate their current competence with 2. That’s really low in view of the urgency of the

subject, because they want already tomorrow deal with high priority the consequences of our

aging and reducing population. There is no other resort of HR activities that german personal

manager find more important than the demographic change. On the second priority place we

find talent management and the introduction of learning organisations.”

These are the most important results of the study „Creating People Advantage. How to

address HR Challenges worldwide through 2015“ that was carried out from Boston

Consulting Group (BCG) and World Federation of Personnel Management Associations

(WFPMA) and presented mid April 2008 in London for the first time.

The head of the study, Prof. Dr. Rainer Strack from BCG-office in Düsseldorf, and his

colleagues asked in an online survey worldwide about 4.741 manager, mainly from HR

departments. This survey was completed with 220 HR managers in deep-interviews. In

Germany participated on the interviews the HR directors Matthias Malessa (Adidas),

Zygmunt Mierdorf (Metro), Ulrich Weber (RAG), Ernst Baumann (BMW) and others. Other

exerpts from business journals and benchmark studies confirm the change in HR recruitment

and their consequences.

www.joerg-alt.de/Publikationen/Materialanlagen/04Statistik.doc

Summary: In 2001, the Police in Frankfurt controlled 350 households. More than 200

households employed foreigners illegally.

…“Ein weiteres Indiz bezüglich der Verbreitung illegaler Ausländerbeschäftigung in

Privathaushalten ist die 'Trefferquote' einer Razzia, die die Frankfurter

Staatsanwaltschaft durchführen ließ: 350 Wohnungen und Häuser wurden untersucht,

über 200 illegal beschäftigte Haushaltshilfen wurden noch am selben Tag ausgewiesen,

gegen 214 Familien wird ermittelt, d.h. mehr als jeder zweite Haushalt (61 % aller

kontrollierten Haushalte) beschäftigte illegale ausländische Haushaltshilfen. Freilich

sind diese Zahlen per se nicht sonderlich aussagekräftig: Es muss ja bedacht werden,

dass etwa im Bereich der illegalen Haushalts-Putzhilfe hier tätige Personen bis zu sechs

Arbeitsplätze zugleich bedienen, während im Bereich der Alten- und Krankenpflege bis

zu zwei-drei Personen nach einem Rotationssystem ein und dieselbe Person betreuen

7. ANNEX 7 PROGNOS AG / BMFSFJ STUDY

Calculation about Costs and economic Benefits for family friendly Activities

Some results:

- a company that does not offer work life balance activities, having 1,500 employees

(45% women ratio), results in about 696,000€ costs per year for parental leave.

- However if the company offers total investments of about 304,000€ for: consulting

and stay-in-contact (about 81,000€), flexible working time (about 10,500€), installation

of 5 home office jobs per year (about 30,000€), and 30 childcare places for own

expenses (about 182,500€) – then the investments for parental leave are reduced to at

least 156,500€. The company saves maximal 235,500€. (Expenses for which no

working performance is delivered) www.work-and-life.de

Annex 8-21

Calculated on a base salary (gross) of 2.500€ per month, an investment of 200€ in

childcare subsidy, instead of an equivalent pay raise, results in a benefit of 112€ for the

employee and 25€ for the employer, per month.

Example for the comparison of salary increase and childcare subsidy (2 children)

Gap between potential and actual utilization

Page 78: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

Annex 14-28

- 11% of households (about 4.5 Mio) have a paid ‘home help’

- further 24% could imagine so

Barriers not to use a home help (blue: would not use this service, orange: would

use this service in future):

1 – I do not need help for such work, my family members help

2 – I can do the necessary work for my own

3 – a external help is too expensive

4 – I prefer to do everything alone

5 - I don’t want to have a foreigner in my household

6 – the whole organizational expenditure is not profitable for me i.e. to look for

somebody, the payment etc.

7 – I am afraid about the administration needs from institutions and departments

8 – I don’t have time to look after a suitable person for help

9 – I cannot find somebody suitable

Our Vision

Our Work-Life Management-Agency enables companies to make a difference in being an

We share our clients' commitment to excellence. We appreciate that each of our partnership is

unique and requires the balance of proven strategies, creative thinking and a tailored plan. Our

innovative and unique programming design features provide our partners with leading edge

approaches necessary to solve the complex issues related to the design, implementation and

18. ANNEX 18 BREAK EVEN-, SCENARIO -, SENSITIVITY -ANALYSIS ,

AND RISK M ITIGATION

BREAK EVEN ANALYSIS

Using our base scenario we can project our revenues from “all markets”, our cost functions and the progression

of our net income. Using this “accounting” view we determine a break even of 130 sales of contract and a

payback period of less than four years. Taking the time value into account will lead to a different break-even

analysis (see sensitivity analysis).

Our costs are mainly composed of salaries (WLM CC services) on the one hand and on investment on the other

one (e-platform and Knowledge center). We can notice that our investment policy should start getting its return

back in the fourth to fifth year were service costs starts to growth slower than revenues.

We expect a compounded growth in revenue of around 300% during the first four years and much lower rate of

growth during the fifth year to eventually turn to steady pace of 1,5% per annum later on. We actually foresee a

more mature and competitive market in six to seven year time. This is the reason why our strategy roadmap is

pointed toward “high flying” brick & mortar services after five year of service brokerage. In this top pyramid

segment, services are broader, more customized and the market is global (transnational).

From an equity owner viewpoint we are interested in a payback period or break-even analysis based on a more

accurate cash analysis or even on a discounted cash analysis (see sensitivity analysis).

Our business starts to generated a positive and growing free cash flow during the fourth year, the payback period

is 4,3 years on the basis of the cash generated, it is five years when taking into account the time value (see firm

valuation for detail of the NPV computation).

Annex 18-40

SCENARIO ANALYSIS

To anticipate on various conditions as well as to understand the profitability limits of our business we elaborated

three different business scenarios, each with its own costs, investment timing and amounts as well as funding and

marketing execution programs.

The first scenario (or high growth hypothesis) made an emphasis on a steep and strong growth rate during the

first five years. To cope with this environment the number of employees in sales, supply and in the customer care

center is important. Revenues will sore to 13M€ in the fifth year, 3.5 times the sales of our base case.

Cumulative Free Cash flow reaches 2,5 M€ and the business is valued at around 3,6 M€ (Net present value).

The second scenario (or base case) is an ambitious development of our business model yet realistic. We have

chosen this scenario as the red line of our business plan and we strongly believe we can achieve the development

presented. Revenues reach 3,9 M€ in the fifth year, cumulative free cash flow reaches 0,8 M€ and the business is

valued at around 1 M€.

The third scenario (or low hypothesis awareness) take into account a slow market penetration and reflects a

lower pace of “family awareness” than we expect. This scenario leads to destruction of value creation under the

assumption we made, yet it would be viable and of a better value creation under a downsized cost structure (i.e.

full roll out with mini jobs, less IT investment). Revenues amounts for 1,5 M€ in the fifth year, cumulative FCF

reaches 115K€ and the business as a negative NPV of 240K€.

We can notice that our growth hypothesis do not proportionally unfold an equivalent free cash flow as our base

scenario (3,5 times the revenue and only 2 times the value). As our model is labor intensive at this stage, a

particular attention shall be given to master our growth. Figure 3 below shows the different business resources

for each scenario and the global costs of each function. We made the same assumptions on pricing for the three

scenarios

We can notice the that resources unfold faster than revenues in our scenarios, the growth scenarios generated 3,5 times more revenue than our base case, yet it requires 5 times

more resources costs to deliver. Also there are synergies in sales and sourcing, teams request to be managed and generate line managers staffing meanwhile our customer care

center remains staffed to the same level.

Annex 18-42

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

A major issue, difficult to solve using our scenario analysis, is to understand which business driver will have the

major influence over the company results. To understand the main driver we choose four different parameters of

our business model:

• Contract revenues (Sales)

• Pricing option

• Customer Care Center Activity (related to the number of call)

• Cost of equity (WACC)

The two first drivers are marketing drivers, the second is an operational driver and the fourth represents our

capacity to access to financial resources.

We conducted a sensitivity analysis on the firm NPV by driving the change on each lever while keeping a constant

perimeter on other business drivers. Our base case scenario is use as reference in each simulation (marked in green

in) .

Main results:

As shown by the summary in graph (Figure 4 Main business drivers) the WLM agency value is very sensitive to

the marketing execution in term of pricing and sales. To start creating value our business needs to market 130

contracts at an average pricing of 17,7K€.

On pricing:

Over the 5 years growth period, a pricing policy of –35% is bringing a loss of value and a positive perpetuity. All

other drivers being fixed, a pricing policy of around –37% in average (vs. our base case) will start destroying

value. Taking into account our pricing “spread” and sales volume, the contract average revenue for our base case

is 17,7 K€. The average revenue to reach the break even is 11,1 K€. This is leading to a total of 2,2 M€ revenue to

break even.

On Sales:

Value creation on sales volume start at around –40% of our base scenario, which give 165 contracts sales over the

five years growth period to break-even

Nevertheless, the firm value is also sensitive to our customer care center activity in a more linear way (yet not

totally) and to our access to reasonable funding cost.

RISKS M ITIGATION

From our various analyses we can identify the fundamental risks of our model and mitigate them.

Growth burst and Growth uncertainty

Our scenario analysis shows that growing with profitability is possible under accurate tuning of our resources.

Training, timing and workload is key to our model this is why we intend:

To invest into an e-platform in order to automate most basic interaction like choosing, ordering, paying and rating

a service.

To invest into a knowledge center (share database) allowing economy of scales

To recruit a professional Trainer/HR manager and a quality Manager in the course of the fourth year of business

Uncertainty on our growth rate may obliged us to change the course of action during our business implementation,

this is one of the reason we choose to go in two phases, each one allowing new funds to sustain the business.

Marketing execution

We are faced with two issues, one regarding our pricing level and model, the other one with the sales

effectiveness.

• Regarding our pricing model level, our service relies on:

Quality: our membership fee comprises an exclusive access to our CCC, the possibility to rate the services and the

option to order on line.

Sourcing of “Good enough family services” to broker: we intend to hire sourcing managers and a quality manager

after the first two years of operation.

Regarding our sales effectiveness we intend to initiate sales trough valued network such as the chamber of

commerce, the national organization dedicated to “family awareness” while at the same time building a strong

image around our platform.

• Cost of labor

Page 96: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

Annex 18-46

As our business is labor intensive we will have to carefully control our recruitment in term of volume and salary

level. We may be using “mini jobs” contracts system in order to reduce our wages, at least during the “seed” phase

(two first year of growth period).

As a service broker, supporting our members with a customer care center a particular attention shall be given to

our cost per call. We can see that our model cannot support, in average, more than a 2,5 fold increase in time

spend per active user more specifically once our model switched to a more establish organization (after 2 years).

Our CCC activity is estimated based on two parameters, the usage rate of our brokerage platform on the one hand,

and the average time spend (per annum) to support membership requirement on the other one. During our

deployment phase, the WLM brokerage platform usage rate growths from 30% to 40% and the average time per

(derived from the number of supported transaction per user) decrease from 3,5 hrs to 1,1hours. To mitigate the risk

here we intend to invest in an IT platform (in order to automate part of the service request) and to select the

suppliers with a strong focus on reliability.

• Cost of funds

The actual financial crisis does not ease our search for a low cost of capital. We prefer to keep the financial

leverage of equity for a better timing, after two years of business operation.

Annex 20-66

1. To be effective, your banner ad must be displayed on web pages that receive a high volume of

web traffic. Also, the banner ad should be visible on the initial page load, window frame.

2. Your banner advertising display must be entirely relevant to the material and content that exists

on the page it is displayed.

Fill these shoes first and foremost and you'll run away with a substantial increase in genuine targeted

visitors to your website. Properly executed, banner ad displays can pay off where all too often buried text

links go unnoticed.

Naturally, your banner ad display should be a high quality graphic- crisp, clean and professional looking.

It should easily state its purpose and request an action. Avoid excessive flare, fan-fare, blinking and

flashing episodes. Banner ads should closely match and fit easily into the web page theme and the flow

of the page design.

Your Advertising Banner Arsenal

There are many, many banner ad graphic programs to choose from, should you decide to take the time to

create your own banner ads. If you're not truly creative you'll probably be wasting valuable time, because

many high-traffic volume web sites will more than likely reject your creations. It's best to leave banner

ad creations to the website's graphics team. They should know what's best to fit their site's page theme

and design. Besides that, oftentimes you'll need more than a few different designs, colors and in some

cases different sizes.

What does banner advertising cost?

Website banner advertising rates vary from site to site. Primarily there three payment types.

1. Cost per thousand impressions (views) - You are charged a fixed fee for every 1,000 people who

see your ad, regardless if they click it.

2. Cost per click - You are charged a fee for each person who clicks on your banner ad, sending

them to your site.

3. Cost per visitor - You are charged for each visitor that is delivered to your website.

22. ANNEX 22 FIRM VALUATION , NPV OF FCF, EXAMPLE OF BETA

FOR SERVICE COMPANIES

In order to value our WLM agency business, many possibilities can be used:

We could compare to a similar business listed in the stock and derive a certain value of the agency using

multiples like P/E ratio, Price to Sales ratio, Price to Cash ratio, market value to EBIT or revenues to

EBIT.

We can value the stream of cash generated by the business, discounted to the present value.

We can value the stream of cash using probable outcome of each of our business options (6 in our 5 year

plan) or even consider an infinite number of option and outcome using a Black-Scholes option-pricing

model.

The first method is often used in the sales of small cap businesses or with the private businesses (once the

multiples adapted). This method does not provide a single and simple answer to our question and it does

require similar type of businesses in order to compare. Furthermore it only applies to a business with

some historical records.

The second approach, the discounted cash flow, accounts for future assumptions in a clear, simple and

structured framework, while deriving a firm value.

The third is the valuation (at present value) of probable outcomes of each area development (derive either

by the B&S equation or by a decision tree). This last method fits perfectly our model, yet we believe it

introduces a too large complexity to our purpose and does not provide a simple valuation view of our

start-up business. This last method could be used to revise the firm valuation in further steps (second

round of funding or in five years).

VALUATION USING THE NPV OF FCF

Using the NPV method to derive the firm valuation we must first answer to a certain number of questions

and tune the parameters used along the NPV computation.

First we will need to understand which viewpoint will provide the “best” firm valuation: discounted cash

to the equity or to the firm (equity + debt)?

Second, we will have to consider which cash can be discounted?

Page 119: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

Annex 22-69

Third, we will determine the discount rate as the cost of capital of the firm using the weighted average

method. The WACC will be based on the firm beta, the risk free rate and the risk premium. Each of these

parameters will be discussed in this appendix.

Cash Flow Equity Valuation or Cash Flow Firm Valuation?

Having done at first valuation of our company with only equity and compared with a debt leverage we

have assessed better results in cash using debt even though differences accounts for a 3% increase on

return on equity and a 4%decrease in cost of capital.

This is why we will value the WLM agency using the firm method.

The WLM agency Free Cash Flow

We will use the free cash flow (FCF) generated by our model. The Free Cash Flow is the net cash

available after having paid all taxes and after the funding of the projects (with positive NPV). The FCF is

available, aside from buying market securities, for dividends, share buy back or acquisition.

It is composed of three elements, the operating cash flow, the decrease in working capital and the

investment cash flow.

THE OPERATING CASH FLOW

We use the EBIT after tax proxy to determine the cash generated by the recurring

activities to which we add-up the depreciation of our IT tools (e-platform and KM

database). Our operation is generating a positive net cash flow.

The Net Working Capital Decrease

Cash flow from a decrease in working capital is being free to equity holders. Our operation shows an

increase in net working capital that reflects our business growth. The increase in net working capital is

mainly driven by the customer credit.

The Investment Cash Flow

Page 120: Business Plan - Wlm Agency - Hamid Bouchikhi

Annex 22-70

Cash flow from net operation on assets (disposal of assets minus investment) is negative as we

progressively invest in our e-platform and our knowledge database without any divestiture of assets.

The WLM Agency’s WACC.

Our Weighted average cost of capital is the cost of equity and debt (used in the 3rd year).

The cost of capital can be determined using the “security market line” (SML), the Risk premium for

Germany is estimated to be around 6%. We estimate our beta to be around 1,9 and we add a market

practice of 17% to our cost of equity in order to account for the lack of market experience.

Cost of Equity = Rf + Beta(Rp) + mp = 3,5% + 1,9 (6%) + 17 %= 32%

Cost of debt = (Rf + ds) * Tr = 10 %

The Risk Free Rate (Rf) is evaluated for the German market at 3,5% using a 10 year bond1.

The Risk Premium stated as the difference between the expected of the market portfolio and the risk free

rate in the SML equation is adjusted by a market practice rate in order to reflect our start-up situation

using the following assumption: the excess in expected return (above the risk premium) is equivalent to

the debt interest rate with a default spread rate in excess. Today the spread rate in excess is above 17%2.

Annex 22-71

We choose a default spread risk of 17% giving a discount rate of 32% during the first two years,

decreasing to 28% in the fifth be leveraging the firm to 1,25

We choose a Beta of 1,9 which is well above beta’s of pure service companies such as Cap Gemini (beta

of 1,45) or Steria (beta of 1,46) but closer to pure Internet platform service player such as Healthgrades3

(beta of 1,6) taking into account our mixed internet model (E-platform and Call center).

During the 3rd year we will introduce debt in order to decrease the cost of capital and reduce payment of

tax.

Our assumptions were to make a leverage of minimum 25 % starting the 3rd year.

The WLM Agency Value (Base Scenario).

Our 32% cost of equity reflects the WACC during our starting phase (3 first years) then we will use debt

that will decrease cost of capital to around 28 %. To simplify our computation we made three

assumptions for the perpetual growth:

We will reach a steady growth of 1,5% after these five years of growth

Our WACC will lower to 15% in line with good business records and market practice

We expect the market to be more competitive after the first five years and cash generated from operation

should decrease while investment will be renew in order to keep a cost advantage, we then expect the

cash “perpetuity” to be at 65% of the fifth year cash level.

Given those assumptions the net present value of the WLM Agency is 1 Mio €.

Annex 22-72

CALL FOR ACTION

We intend to develop the business using private investors by founding the business in two rounds:

1. A seed round in order to prove the concept and pilot two years of business and prepare the expansion, with a 62K€ round from investors for a 35% share of equity.

2. A deployment phase during three years in order to expend the business into a leadership position in the life management for B2B, with a 225K€ from investors maintaining a 35% share of equity.

Perspective for development in the life management service for B2B may continue to shine in five years, yet with growth at a much slower pace, before starting to stagnate after seven years. At that time we will be ready to propose an expansion phase into the top tiers market for “highflying decision maker” and diversify our brokerage agency into a top “brick and mortar” life management and children education service company.
