A Sample Drug Prescription Delivery Business Plan Template


 Industry Overview

Drug prescription delivery business is part of the Pharmacy & Drug Store Franchises
industry and this industry is made up of businesses that are into Generic drug prescriptions,
brand-name drug prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, personal hygiene and cosmetic
products, groceries and other food items, health aids and home healthcare equipment etc.
A prescription drug which can also be called prescription medication or prescription
medicine is a pharmaceutical drug that legally requires a medical prescription to be
dispensed. Over-the-counter drugs on the other hand can be obtained without a
prescription.
The reason for this difference in substance control is the potential scope of misuse, from
drug abuse to practicing medicine without a license and without sufficient education. Please
note that in the United States of America, each jurisdiction has different definitions of what
constitutes a prescription drug.
All over the world, the pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated because the devastating
effect of fake drugs or drug abuse is alarming. As a matter of fact, there are several
universal laws and regulations that govern the patenting, testing, safety, efficacy and
marketing of drugs.
For example, in the United States, new pharmaceutical products must be approved by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as being both safe and effective before they can be
allowed to go into the market. Statistics has it that global spending on prescription drugs
grew to a whopping sum of $954 billion in 2011 and the United States accounts for more
than a third of the global pharmaceutical market, with an estimate of $340 billion in annual
sales
Statistics has it that in the United States alone, the industry generates over $6 billion
annually from more than 1,451 registered and licensed generic pharmacy & drugs store
franchise (drug prescriptions delivery business inclusive) scattered all around the country.
The industry is responsible for the employment of over 14,666 people. Experts project the
industry to grow at a 3.4 percent annual rate from 2013 to 2018. In the United States, the
companies holding the largest market share in the Pharmacy & Drug Store Franchises
industry are McKesson Corporation and Cardinal Health Inc.
A recent report published by IBISWORLD shows that operators in this industry are not
independent pharmacies or drug stores; they are retail locations operating under franchise
agreements that dictate the terms and conditions under which they operate and market
themselves.
The industry as a whole has experienced stable growth over the past five years due to
steady demand for its products. Medications and drug store items are generally considered
essential and are not affected by economic fluctuations. Thus, over the five years to 2018,
the industry has grown at an annualized rate of 3.4 percent, including an increase.
The report further shows that over the past five years, the Pharmacy & Drug Store
Franchises industry has grown by 3.4 percent to reach revenue of $6bn in 2018. In the
same timeframe, the number of businesses has grown by 1.3 percent and the number of
employees has grown by 1.8 percent.
The bottom line is that the drug prescription delivery line of business is still very much open
for new entrants; the competition within the industry is not as stiff as similar industries. If
your business concept is top notch, you can gain fair share of the available market in any
country or region you intend launching your business.

Drug Prescription Delivery Business Plan – SWOT Analysis


We are quite aware that there are several drug prescription delivery companies in the
United States of America which is why we are following the due process of establishing a
business so as to compete favorable with them. We know that if a proper SWOT analysis is
conducted for our business, we will be able to position our business to maximize our
strength, leverage on the opportunities that will be available to us, mitigate our risks and be
welled equipped to confront our threats.
Phoenix Pharmacy® Drug Prescription Delivery, LLC employed the services of an expert
HR and Business Analyst with bias in startup businesses to help us conduct a thorough
SWOT analysis and to help us create a business model that will help us achieve our
business goals and objectives. This is the summary of the SWOT analysis that was
conducted for Phoenix Pharmacy® Drug Prescription Delivery, LLC;

 Strength:
Part of what is going to count as positive for Phoenix Pharmacy® Drug Prescription
Delivery, LLC is the vast experience of our management team, we have people on board
who understand how to grow business from the scratch to becoming a national
phenomenon. So also, the wide varieties of pharmaceutical products that we sell, our large
national distribution network and of course our excellent customer service culture will
definitely count as a strong strength for the business.

 Weakness:

A major weakness that may count against us is the fact that we are a new drug prescription
delivery company in the United States and we don’t have the financial capacity to engage in
the kind of publicity that we intend giving the business and also to leverage on economies of
scale.

 Opportunities:

The opportunities available to drug prescription delivery companies with a wide range of
drugs are enormous. This is due to the fact that almost all Americans take drugs for
different reasons. Demand for medical devices used in elderly care has increased and is
expected to continue rising.
Demand for medical supplies has increased as a result of the rising age of the US
population and of course the changing demographics in the US population will have a
favorable effect on the medical supplies sector. We were able to conduct a thorough market
survey and feasibility studies so as to position our business to take advantage of the
existing market for prescription drugs and also to create our own new market.

 Threat:

We are quite aware that just like any other business, one of the major threats that we are
likely going to face are economic downturn and unfavorable government policies especially
as it relates to prescription drugs. Another threat that may likely confront us is the arrival of
a new drug prescription delivery company in same location where ours is located.

Drug Prescription Delivery Business Plan – MARKET ANALYSIS

 Market Trends

A close study of the trends in the pharmacy and drug store franchise industry shows that
the industry is expanding rapidly due to the demand for industry’s products by the aging
population. So also, with the regulatory provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act expanded consumer access to prescription insurance and provided increased
opportunities for product development.
Going forward, the industry revenue growth is expected to outpaced revenue growth for the
Brand Name Pharmaceutical Manufacturing industry.
A large number of brand name drug manufacturers lost patent protection for blockbuster
drugs beginning in 2010; demand for generics subsequently grew, as consumers
demanded affordable versions of these high-profile products. These trends are expected to
continue in the next five years.
As a matter of fact, private health insurance coverage typically lowers the price of
pharmaceutical products by reducing individuals’ out-of-pocket health expenditures.
As private health insurance coverage increases, more individuals will be able to afford their
medications; however, managed-care organizations may place downward pricing pressure
on drug reimbursement rates, which could cut into industry revenue. The number of people
with private health insurance is expected to decrease in 2018, posing a potential threat to
the industry.
To sum it up, as the population ages, demand for pharmaceutical products that address the
health ailments of the elderly typically rises. The industry benefits immensely from a rise in
demand of prescription from this demographic. The number of adults aged 65 and older is
anticipated to rise in 2018, representing a potential opportunity for the industry.

 Our Target Market

When it comes to selling prescription drugs or even pharmaceutical products in general,


there is indeed a wide range of available customers. In essence, our target market can’t be
restricted to just individual clients but also hospitals, sick bay and other medical facility
within our target market location.
We are in business to engage in marketing and distributing generic drugs and medical
equipment. Hence our target markets are;

 Households
 Schools
 Hospitals/Medical clinics
 Doctors and other specialist medical practitioners.

Our Competitive Advantage


A close study of the pharmacy and drug store franchise industry reveals that the market has
become much more intensely competitive over the last decade. As a matter of fact, you
have to be highly creative, customer centric and proactive if you must survive in this
industry.
We are aware of the stiff competition and we are prepared to compete favorably with other
drug prescription delivery companies. Phoenix Pharmacy® Drug Prescription Delivery, LLC
is launching a standard drug prescription delivery company that will indeed become the
preferred choice in Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach – Florida.
Having links with suppliers, a clear market position and access to the latest and most
efficient technology are part of what is going to count as competitive advantage for us. We
are not ignoring the vast experience of our management team, we have people that
understand how to grow business from the scratch to success.
So also, the wide varieties of brand name and generic prescription drugs and medical
equipment that we distribute, our large and far reaching distribution network and of course
our excellent customer service culture will definitely count as a strong strength for our
business.
Lastly, our employees will be well taken care of, and their welfare package will be among
the best within our category in the pharmacy and drug store franchise industry, meaning
that they will be more than willing to build the business with us and help deliver our set
goals and achieve all our aims and objectives. We will also give good working conditions
and commissions to freelance sales agents that we will recruit from time to time.

Drug Prescription Delivery Business Plan – Publicity and Advertising Strategy


Despite of the fact that our drug prescription delivery company is a standard one with a wide
range of brand name and generic prescription drugs. We will still go ahead to intensify
publicity for all our products and brand.
Phoenix Pharmacy® Drug Prescription Delivery, LLC has a long-term plan of distributing
our brand name and generic prescription drugs in various locations all around the United
States of America which is why we will deliberately build our brand to be well accepted first
in Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach – Florida before venturing out.

 Position our Flexi Banners at strategic positions in the location where we intend
getting customers to start patronizing our products.
 Ensure that our products are well branded, all our staff members wear our
customized clothes, and all our official cars and distribution vans are customized.
Our Pricing Strategy
When it comes to pricing model of drugs, in the United States there are many resources
available to patients to lower the costs of medication. These include copayments,
coinsurance and deductibles. The Medicaid Drug Rebate Program is another example.
Generic drug program lowers amount of money a patient has to pay when picking up their
prescription at the pharmacy and as their name implies they only cover generic drugs. Co-
pay assistance programs help patient lower costs of specialty medications: i.e. medications
that are on restricted formulary, limited distribution, and with no generics available.
Patient assistance programs are funded by the manufacturer of the medication. Patients
can often apply to these programs through the manufacturer’s website. This type of
assistance program is one of the few options for the uninsured patient.
The out of pocket costs for patients enrolled in co-pay assistance or patient assistance
programs are $0. It is a major resource to help lower costs of medications – however, many
providers and patients are not aware of these resources.
In view of that, our prices will conform to what is obtainable in the industry but will ensure
that within the first 6 to 12 months our brand name and generic prescription drugs are
deliver a little bit below the average price in the United States of America. We have put in
place business strategies that will help us run on low profits for a period of 6 months; it is a
way of encouraging people to buy into our brand.

 Payment Options

The payment policy adopted by Phoenix Pharmacy® Drug Prescription Delivery, LLC is all
inclusive because we are quite aware that different customers prefer different payment
options as it suits them but at the same time, we will ensure that we abide by the financial
rules and regulation of the United States of America.

make available to her clients;

 Payment with cash


 Payment via credit cards
 Payment via online bank transfer

 Payment via mobile money transfer

payment for brand name and generic prescription drugs purchase without any stress on
their part. Our bank account numbers will be made available on our website and
promotional materials.

 Startup Expenditure (Budget)

If you are looking towards starting a drug prescription delivery company, then you should be
ready to raise enough capital to cover some of the basic expenditures that you are going to
incur. The truth is that starting this type of business does not come cheap.
You need money to secure a standard store or warehouse facility, acquire brand name and
generic prescription drug supplies and distribution vans and you need money to pay your
