Hilibsan Meats
Overview
Hilibsan Meats, is a startup specialty butcher shop to be launched in the coming year.
It will sell a wide menu of meats to customers including medium- and high-income
residents of hilibsan, as well as high-income residents of neighboring towns, and high-
end caterers.
The Company
Hilibsan Meats is established as a limited liability company owned by its two co-
founders. The store will be managed and directed by Robert Suidae, a veteran butcher
with fifteen years experience in butcher shops and Eryka Auroch, an experienced retail
food-service manager. Auroch will serve as the company's CEO and Suidae as the
company's COO.
Parkdale Meats will sell aged beef, free-range poultry, fresh pork and domestic lamb.
Upon request, the store will sell wild game such as buffalo, alligator, kangaroo, quail,
and other specially requested items. The products will be purchased from suppliers
within a 100-mile radius of the store to have minimal impact on the environment and
to maintain product freshness. Products will be purchased as whole animals and
butchered in the store by trained butchers. The sales staff will offer suggestions of
substitutions or help customers fulfill their orders through special orders in order to
make sure all customers leave satisfied.
The Market
The meat and poultry industry is the largest segment of U.S. agriculture. Total meat
and poultry production in 2007 reached more than 91 billion pounds. U.S. meat
consumption was 55% red meat (beef, veal, lamb, pork, and mutton), 8.2% fish, and
36.8% poultry in 2007. Meat is sold through retail establishments including
restaurants, grocery stores, and butcher shops. Independent butcher shops have
decreased in number over the last ten years, as sales of meet have fallen slightly and
moved increasingly to grocery stores and big box retailers. However, this has created
an opportunity for specialty butcher shops in markets which provide only basic options
through these larger retailers.
Competition
Page 1
Hilibsan Meats
Parkdale Meats will establish its competitive edge through the expertise of its
founders. Robert Suidae brings with him existing relationships with the best suppliers
of meat as well as an understanding of the craft of butchering. Coupled with Eryka
Auroch's understanding of food service management, sales record in business to
business sales, and financial acumen, the pair will have an edge over the town's other
butcher shops and grocery stores within its niche market.
Financial Considerations
Funding for the launch of the business will be provided primarily by equity from the
two partners. Each will contribute in equal share from their savings to launch the
business. The remainder of financing will be made up in temporary credit card
debt taken on by the two founders and accounts payable from delayed payments on
start-up costs. The business seeks a business loan to finance the purchase of the
equipment needed.
The business will reach positive cash flow in its 8th month of operation, allowing for
expedited repayment of its loan obligations, as well as for dividends to be paid to the
owners. Revenue will top $XXXXX and profit will reach about $XXXX in the third year
of operation.
Chart: Highlights
1.1 Objectives

The following summary table shows the projected start-up costs over the three months
prior to the store's opening.
Start-up expenses for Parkdale Meats include initial insurance premiums covering both
general liability and product liability, as well as business renter's insurance, rent for 1
month's security and 2 months to allow for build-out of the retail space, pre-launch
marketing to cover flyers, a direct mail campaign, and advertisements in local papers,
the development of a website with e-commerce capabilities to take orders and sell
meats directly, and the normal legal expenses for consultation and permitting.
Inventory on-hand at any given time must be low as all meats must be kept extremely
fresh and so will be ordered on a weekly basis or even more often. Other current
assets include office and store furniture, shelving, a computer, phone system, and
tools. Long-term assets include the refrigerator unit for the shop, refrigerated display
cases, window displays, store fixtures, a refrigerated delivery van and additional
investments in improvements to the retail location.
A significant amount of cash is required to fund the first year of operations until the
business reaches break-even.

Upon request, the store will sell wild game such as buffalo, alligator, kangaroo, quail
and more. All products can be cut to the customer's specifications.
The products will be purchased from suppliers within a 100-mile radius of the store to
have minimal impact on the environment through trucking costs and to maintain
product freshness. Products will be purchased as whole animals and butchered in the
store by trained butchers. They will be sold while fresh. While products may be
replenished within a few days, there is the possibility of certain items running out
because of high sales and going out of stock until new shipments may arise. The sales

The American Meat Institute provides the following statistics about the American meat
industry:
The meat and poultry industry is the largest segment of U.S. agriculture. Total meat
and poultry production in 2007 reached more than 91 billion pounds.
There are 6,032 federally inspected meat and poultry slaughtering and processing
plants in the United States.
U.S. meat consumption was 55% red meat (beef, veal, lamb, pork, and mutton), 8.2%
fish, and 36.8% poultry in 2007. Americans spend 6.4% of disposable income on food
at home.
Meat is sold through retail establishments including restaurants, grocery stores, and
butcher shops. Independent butcher shops have decreased in number over the last
ten years, as sales of meet have fallen slightly and moved increasingly to grocery
stores and big box retailers. However, this has created an opportunity for specialty
butcher shops in markets which provide only basic options through these larger
retailers.

Market segmentation for Parkdale Meats is based on the specific market opportunity in
the Parkdale area. While low-income households are perfectly content with purchasing
the meat options at local grocery stores and big box retailers, households with a
greater level of disposable income are interested in expanding their options for home
cooked meats. Furthermore, these customers entertain in their homes to a greater
extent than low-income households and prefer to offer high-quality or rarer meat
options at these events.
It is expected that customers from neighboring towns will be more likely to travel to
Parkdale if they have higher levels of disposable income to allow for the time and gas
expense of this travel. For this reason, high-income households will be targeted at
first in neighboring towns.
Caterers, especially those serving high-end corporate and private events, and upscale
restaurants seek high-quality specialty meats at wholesale prices. Parkdale Meats will
sell in bulk to catering businesses and restaurants at a substantial discount from retail
prices, while still allowing for margin. Caterers and restaurants will be required to
order in advance to allow for specialty orders of meats and not deplete the products
available at the retail location for immediate purchase.
"The meat industry is unique because it relies on live animals as its raw materials.
Within livestock production, there is a classic, livestock price cycle. Prices rise and fall
as producers raise more animals in response to high prices or low supply, and then
Page 10
Hilibsan Meats
cease producing when livestock inventories become high and prices fall. At the low
points in the livestock price cycle, some livestock producers have called for reviews of
meat packing industry structure to determine if the structure may be causing a price
decline. Each review has found that industry structure is not to blame for livestock
prices. Rather, the basic laws of supply and demand most often are the cause."
In general, "consumers are eagerly buying more conveniently prepared food products
of consistent quality, despite the sluggish growth of overall food spending" write
researchers Barkema, Drabenstott and Novack, "...and nearly 40 percent of the
consumer's food dollar is spent in restaurants and other eating establishments".
Despite, and in fact because, of these changes, there is a growing need for sales of
specialty meats to the niche market who can afford and desire them, as they are no
longer served well by grocery stores and large retailers.
Grocery Stores (Stop & Shop, A & P, Gorman's Market, etc.) - 7 stores in greater
Parkdale area
Big box retailers (Wal-Mart and Costco)
Butcher shops (Red's Meats and Bay Avenue Butchers)
Grocery stores provide basic meat options at relatively low prices. They are chosen by
customers interested in buying meat along with all of their grocery and food needs,
and not traveling far from their home. These customers will sacrifice some quality and
options for price and convenience.
Big box retailers serve clients interested in the lowest price and able to sacrifice some
convenience (longer waits and longer travel times) for the lowest price. They offer
meats of the same range of options and quality as grocery stores.
Red's Meats has been in existence for 25 years and primarily serves customers who
value the store's history. These customers have typically been buying meats at Red's
for at least five years and live within five miles of the store in Parkdale. The customers
are aging, on average. Because its meats are only slightly higher quality than grocery
stores, Red's does not serve caterers and restaurants, but sells products primarily to
medium income households.
Bay Avenue Butchers was established ten years ago and focuses only on high-quality
red meat and not poultry. They sell meats to caterers and restaurants, but these
businesses would likely consider using a different vendor which could provide a wider
range of options. Bay Avenue Butchers has high prices for its retail meats and serves
only high-income households.
Page 11
Hilibsan Meats
Parkdale Meats will establish its competitive edge through the expertise of its
founders. Robert Suidae brings with him existing relationships with the best suppliers
of meat as well as an understanding of the craft of butchering. He has trained a
number of assistant butchers who have gone on to take head positions at grocery
stores and butcher shops. Coupled with Eryka Auroch's understanding of food service
management, sales record in business to business sales, and financial acumen, the
pair will have an edge over the town's other butcher shops and grocery stores within
its niche market.
To market to businesses, Parkdale Meats will join the local Chamber of Commerce and
Food Provider organizations to network and market to other members.

Hilibsan Meats
The sales strategy for the business includes both retail sales and business sales
strategies.
Retail sales will be based on the marketing of the store and its location, explained in
the marketing plan section. At an operational level, orders will be taken in person by
clerks working the floor of the store (two on duty at any given time), or by the office
clerk over the phone or Internet. Orders for specific cuts will be transmitted from
these clerks to the butchers on duty who will prepare the cuts. They will be packaged,
priced, and prepared for sale by the floor clerks.
Customers will be greeted with a standard greeting and served to meet their
satisfaction with the greatest care taken to provide quick service to walk-in
customers. A machine will give numbers to waiting customers so they can be served
in an orderly fashion. Waiting customers will have a few seats in the store to sit in
while waiting.
The business sales strategy relies on prospecting by Eryka Auroch to establish sales to
caterers and restaurants. She will research, contact, and present to these businesses,
drawing on her past sales experience. As a partner of the business, she will work to
maximize this revenue stream to increase profits, rather than because of commissions
on sales.
The sales forecast table represents the business scaling up sales quickly in the first
year as the community recognizes the high quality of its products and as in-roads are
made with the dozens of area caterers and restaurants.
Retail sales will be the greatest driver of sales growth and represents the best margins
for the business, with a 100% markup over cost. Special orders are more expensive to
provide, but will provide a vital line of business that will encourage high-income
customers to use the store. Their cost of sales will be 60% of sales.
Products sold to businesses will be sold at lower rates, but costs will also be reduced
through bulk ordering and the ease of working with businesses in an ongoing way. The
cost of sales to businesses will be 60% as well. This category, including both catering
and restaurant sales, will represent a larger portion of sales than retail sales. The
presence of the store and the brand name it establishes will allow caterers and
restaurants to advertise the fact that they purchase their meats from Parkdale Meats
without any fear, as customers will see it as a mark of quality.

5.4 Milestones
Eryka Auroch will manage all marketing and sales activities. As discussed earlier, the
business's website must be completed month's before opening to provide information
for those who see flyers and ads prior to the launch. Search engine marketing will be
an ongoing expense after the launch, and business prospecting by Eryka Auroch will be
continued as needed to establish a foundation of restaurants and caterers to sell to.

The management of Parkdale Meats will consist of Eryka Auroch and Robert Suidae.
Eryka Auroch, CEO, will manage sales, marketing, and finances for the business. This
will include training sales staff, managing all marketing programs, and being the liaise
to the website developer and accountant for the business.
Robert Suidae, COO, will design the store's floor plan, plan, order and install all
equipment purchases, establish operations procedures, train butchering staff and
operations staff, and establish relationships with all suppliers.
Two employees will initially include a full-time sales/operations clerk and one assistant
butcher.
The personnel forecast reflects modest raises for all staff each year. The CEO and COO
will be primarily compensated through profits. It is expected that lower-level staff may
turn over, but the positions will be systematized to an extent that this does not disrupt
the business.

The business will grow after startup from its own cash flow. Significant growth is
possible in the initial target markets before there is a need to take on additional staff
or move to a larger facility. These are possibilities after the first three years, as is
opening an additional retail location in an area that will not compete with Parkdale
Meats' first location.
Funding for the launch of the business will be provided primarily by equity from the
two partners. Each will contribute in equal share from their savings to launch the
business.
The remainder of financing will be made up in temporary credit card debt taken on by
the two founders and accounts payable from delayed payments on start-up costs.
The business seeks a business loan to finance the purchase of the equipment needed.
These assets can be held as collateral in this loan.

Due to the monthly break even in sales, overall company break even is expected in the
tenth month of operation.

Additional direct cost of sales reflects the costs of packaging, gas for deliveries, credit
card transaction fees, and other direct costs of the meat preparation and order
fulfillment processes. Gross margins are based on the industry markup for butchered
meats.
Marketing expenses will be higher in the first year to announce the opening of the firm
and will drop after that. Most expenses will show small increases each year as the
business will remain in the same location over the first three years. Profit will rise
sharply over the first three years as sales are spread over these relatively stable
expenses.

The business will pay back its current borrowing in credit card debt over the first and
second years of operation, and its long-term loan over the first three years of
operation, after smaller payments in the first year.
Cash on hand will allow for dividends to be paid to the partners in the second and third
years of operation.
