the growing demand for this service, we will purchase a company vehicle in the third

month.

PC Repair was initially formed as a sole proprietorship, . PC Repair will at first be ahome office start-up, utilizing one studio room in the owner's home and serving

customers in the local area. In the third month of our plan, we will move into a leased

office space and hire technicians. As sales increase, we will hire additional personnel.

PC Repair has decided to focus mainly on the small business market, as these customers

typically don't have a full-time IT person, but have full-time IT needs. . For our

residential customers, we will offer a very affordable and helpful service with a very

flexible schedule to meet their needs.

Mission statement:

Our goal is to set the standard for on-site computer solutions through fast, on-site

service and response. Our customers will receive the highest quality of customer service

available. Our employees will receive extensive training, a great place to work, fair pay

and benefits, and incentives to use their own good judgment to solve customers'

Company History:

will be from home user to small business level people. From minor loss in first year to

Business and industry profile:

Computer industry is in growth stage. Personal market research by the owners

indicates an attractive market niche for our services, of which PC Repair will take full

advantage. The very nature of the computing industry, with its extraordinary rate of

technological development, creates a constant need for businesses skilled in updating

and advising customers on computer-related issues.

Its growth in the first three months will be limited by the owner's capacity to complete

work. However, these first three months are critical for establishing our credibility and a

reputation for getting the job done quickly and well.

We will focus on delivering excellent service, and using the good word of mouth from

this initial period to network with other potential clients. National chains, such as "Geeks

on Call," and Best Buy's "Geek Squad" have seen rapid growth in demand for these

services in the last few years. Customers are seeking skilled help with everything from

installation of software and hardware components, to networking, to transferring files

from an old computer to a new one.

Business strategy:

A business strategy typically is a document that clearly articulates the

direction a business will pursue and the steps it will take to achieve its goals. The

business strategy results from goals established to support the stated mission of the

business. A typical business strategy is developed in three steps: analysis, integration and

implementation

6 | P a g e

Niche differentiation strategy:

It is appropriate for business that produces highly differentiation need fulfilling products

or services for the specialized needs of a narrow range of customer. through this strategy

we will grow at a specific level targeted..we will grow 7% in second year.infact our

business may be deliberately inefficient because they continuously because we

continuously attempt to create market opportunity or to respond them .

Broadly speaking high prices are acceptable to certain customer who need product

performance safety or security.

The chief vulnerability of this strategy is that competitors who also emphasize lowering

of cost may in some situations be able to offer similar products at predatory prices. in

fact, using niche differentiation in conjunction with lower cost can be particularly

effective strategy for a number of but not all small business unit in selecting industries.

Description of product and services:

Mobile computer repair business will offer unique features of product and services such

as We will also offer free pick-up and delivery of PCs needing repair. computer repairs,

training, networking and upgrade service to clients in two major categories: home PC

users and small business users. As PC Repair and the client demands grow, we will offer

software development to our business clients.

From the very first day, we will offer on-site repair and consulting services, so that our

clients don't need to take time out of their busy days to haul a computer in to our

workshop. This is the single biggest frustration we have seen among small business

owners needing computer help. Much of our diagnostic equipment is portable, and we

will remove a PC to our workshop only when the problem requires more detailed

7 | P a g e


8/15

diagnosis or repair. To meet the growing demand for this service, we will purchase a

company vehicle in the third month.

We will also offer extended maintenance contracts, so that business clients can deal withtechnical support and repair needs as a single line-item expense, rather than having to

plan for unexpected crashes and problems with a rainy-day fund they may never use.

Maintenance contracts yield a high gross margin for us, and provide peace of mind for

the customer.

We will offer limited software support (installation and compatibility issues), and focus

on hardware and networking support - this is a vital distinction, since software is

evolving much more rapidly than hardware, and our clients will have such diverse

software needs that we couldn't possibly keep up with all of them. We will encourage

clients to register their software and use the software's own support options to their full

potential. We will, however, keep up to date with multiple operating systems and

networking developments, working with clients to make sure they have the most

appropriate combinations of hardware, OS, networking, backup systems, and software.

Backup and security are becoming higher priorities for all our potential customers, as

internet usage (and its pitfalls) becomes more common, and as more and more daily

records are stored electronically.

Market strategy:

Our marketing strategy will aggressively exploit our competitors' weaknesses. During the

start-up phase, we will run large ads in the business section of the local newspaper,

asking, "Are you fed up with poor customer service for your computer needs?" These ads

will focus on our advantages, including on-site service, competitive rates, and quickresponse and turn-around times. They will announce our opening date, and include a

coupon for free diagnostic service for the first 20 customers.

We will follow up on these opening ads with a smaller direct-marketing campaign to

small business owners, with lists drawn from the local news paper.

8 | P a g e


9/15

We will continue periodic advertisements, including several promotions (discounts, free

diagnosis, etc.) throughout the first year. We expect a small but steady response from

home PC users who see our ads elsewhere, but will also run monthly ads in sections other

than the business one.

We will offer a promotion during the first 90 days of business to generate business traffic

and word of mouth.

Showing customer interest:

We judge specially through questionnaire, survey in Basti (Wah Cantt) we receive

positive response of people demand in efficiently. home delivery computer repairsmagazine recently reported on the substantial need for timely and cost-effective computer

upgrades and repairs in this region; we has seen this market need in person, as frustrated

clients waited for days or weeks for their critical components to be returned to full

capacity, with no inexpensive alternative to the existing computer repair shops. All of our

clients need technical assistance, but we are also selling peace of mind: our clients will

know that friendly, efficient help is just a phone call away. As more and more companies

switch their support services to automated call centers or touch-tone menus, the simple

reassurance of hearing another human voice on the phone within a few rings is

immeasurable. Even better is knowing that within a few hours, someone will show up

and take care of their problem. Both the software and hardware side of the computer

industry continue to turn out new and revised computer components at alarming rates.

For PC Repair this means job security well into the future.

. Our home PC user market includes non-tech-savvy residents of the local area (15 mile

radius), generally between the ages of 30 and 70, with at least one home computer. Weare not expecting income from users below 30, who tend to be more comfortable with

technology and willing to attempt repairs and upgrades on their own without seeking

professionalassistance

This group is growing slightly faster than the overall population growth in our area, in

part due to the increasing demand for computers among retired people and young

9 | P a g e

families, about 7% a year. Small business users will provide the majority of our business

revenue. The small business market will be defined as customers within a 15 mile radius,

with 2 or more computers or a network which they use for business purposes at least 25%

of the time.

Documenting market claims:

Questionnaire

Survey

Effective response of market through questionnaire and survey from starting business

now our sale is increased through out the year growth of 7% by these test of market

there is effective response of providing services of home delivery computer repair and

new computers . we must spend heavily in the first year in order to establish the brand

recognition that will help us break in to the local market .We are seeking a modest net

profit in the first year. As our reputation grows, we will see higher revenues and net

profit over the next three years.

Competitor analysis:

Customers choose computer repair and assistance services based on reputation, previous

experience, and price. They may choose to return to a mediocre provider with whom

they're familiar, rather than try out a new unknown company about whom they've heard

nothing. Large stores, especially the service departments of national chains, have a great

advantage simply in their affiliation with an established brand. Establishing our brand

identity and a great reputation in the first few months is critical to our success. Once we

have broken in to the local market, our great service will turn new clients into permanentclients.

Our services will be second to no one and our prices will be very reasonable for the high

quality service we offer. By providing superior service, word of mouth alone will bring

in many new clients. The satisfaction our consumers find will keep them coming back.

10 | P a g e


11/15

There are two main competitors for the computer upgrade and repair business in this

area:

1. Competitor A. They are a well established provider of computer upgrades andservices, and do quick work. However, they have a high staff turnover, a young

and inexperienced staff, and are more interested in selling new components than

in maintaining existing machines or finding custom solutions. They do not offer

any kind of pick-up and drop-off service, and do not offer on-site help. They

really only offer hardware support.

2. Competitor B. Smaller and less known then A, B provides many services for

residents living in east and south parts of town. They are more willing to spend

time with a client, figuring out exactly what his or her needs are, and suggesting

new options than competitor A. However, they have an inefficient ordering

system and an unkempt shop, which deters potential customers and can turn

existing customers to the competition. They also do not offer on-site services,

although they are considering instituting a trial pick-up/drop-off service. They are

in the best position to copy our innovations and steal customers, but their

management is complacent and may not respond to competition.

Both of these companies charge rates in excess of PC Repair; we will be able to attract

the price-sensitive market without much work.

Description of management team:

Mobile computer repair business will be owned and managed by abdul sattar has 10

years of experience in the fields of technical support, networking, and computer training

and repair. Sattar has also spent the last three years as the manager of a custom computer

building and repair store, and understands the computer needs of small businesses. sattar

11 | P a g e


12/15

is adept at managing his time, and at quickly responding to multiple customer calls and

needs.

For the first three months, sattar will be in charge of all aspects of the business. In thethird month, when another tech is hired, sattar will shift some of his energy from directly

responding to customer needs, to training and managing others to do this work

effectively. sattar will maintain direct control over inventory ordering and bookkeeping,

and will try to do as many of the on-site calls as possible himself. Part of our brand

recognition strategy is to identify mobile computer Repair with sattar's efficiency,

friendliness, and technical expertise. The easiest way to associate the two is for Jack to be

a major part of many customers' experiences with us. He will delegate technical repairs

later in the year to the techs working in the leased office space, and will also train them in

his method of direct phone support.

Sattar has worked extensively with computer technicians and support staff in the past,

and knows that they work best when given free rein within a set of mutually-agreed-upon

guidelines. The first week of each tech's employment will be dedicated to helping them

understand PC Repair's guidelines:

the customer needs help, and we're here to help them;

the customer is frustrated, upset, or confused - but that doesn't make the customer

a problem;

the customer needs reassurance as well as solutions.

Within this framework, the techs can solve the customer's problem the best way they see

fit.

Plan of operation:

To get mobile computer Repair business started the owner is providing cash and assets.

We are also seeking a short-term loan, to be secured with the owner's home equity, and

repaid within three years. Our conservative sales forecasts, based on industry research

12 | P a g e


13/15

within the local area, project hefty sales in year one, steadily increasing through year

three. To reach these goals, we will use an aggressive advertising campaign to exploit our

competitors' weaknesses. With good cost control, we will see a modest, yet

comfortable, net profit the first year, even after moving into a leased space and hiring

additional technicians

The bulk of our start-up requirements are asset needs: we need diagnostic and repair

equipment, half of which will be contributed to the business by the owner from his own

materials. We are treating this equipment as assets because we expect it to last at least

three years, and to have some resale value when we are through with it; we will buy

additional expensed equipment in years two and three. We also need start-up inventory

which includes RAM, spare hard drives, cables, and cases. Although we will keep

expenses to a minimum for the first three months, before we move, we will also

need cash at start-up, to see us through the next several months with a positive cash

balance.
