2.1: Environmental Analysis

A business converts inputs into outputs in order to make a profit. However, our business

pensioners in a population. In our country each occasion there is a special need of sweets.

like: bundia, kalojam, chomchom, rosogolla, etc.
 Legal – The ‘BANALATA SWEETS’will mainly food (sweets) manufacturing firm so it

customer satisfaction.
 Competitors – There are already some existing competitors in market, like: Ali Sweets,
Bonoful, Prince, etc. To compete with this type of old and popular sweets stores so, we
should make many things in concern, like: the location, customer profile, etc.

2.2: Industry Analysis:

Focus should be on task environment. For ‘BANALATA SWEETS’, our focus factors are:

 Industry Demand: The demand for sweets is not fixed; rather in occasional program its
demand is significant. Like: S.S.C, H.S.C result date, Puja, Marriage ceremony etc.

inevitably most will face a degree of competition. The ‘BANALATA SWEETS’ will not

CHAPTER 3 THE DESCRIPTION OF THE VENTURE

The main mission is to established profitable and quality sweet manufacturing firm. We want to
establish sweet store which will be renowned for its quality and create a brand image. We have
already started our business from 2009. This firm will be successful in future because our aim is
attainable and our spirit is strong enough to achieve our goal. After deciding to start the sweet
business, four of us are finding a name for our shop. Umme Salma one of our partner suggest a
name that is “BANALATA”. She also gives the justification behind this name, she select this
name after the name of Banalata Sen of Nator. And the other reason behind it is that she wants to
gift something natural to the customer. This idea impresses us and immediately it is decided to
go for this name the “BANALATA SWEETS”.
We will try to produce each and every type of sweets. We are trying to produce all the
traditionally preferable sweets and also want to bring some sweets items from other place like:
Tangail’s Chomchom, Bagura’s Doi, etc to get customers higher satisfaction. Lalmohon,
kalojaam, roshogollah, shondesh, chomchom & yoghurt should be our main special sweets
which will be produced in our production house first. We offer Tangail’s Chomchom, Bagura’s
Doi because customers even now want the Doi made in Bagura, Chamcham made in Tangail
rather than made in here. So these sweets we try to bring here which may differentiate us from
our competitors. Again we have an idea to introduce special sweets for diabetic patients and we
are quite sure that it will help us to differentiate ourselves and providing the customers the real
taste and flavor.
We try to locate our business in Pallabi-Mirpur. We chose the place by considering some factors,
like: In Pallabi we have own land and building which will be easy for us to make a Sweet Store.
It is about one Bigha. Behind the main building their is a Pucca tin shed building which will be
use as factory or manufacturing unit of bakery and sweets.
The only community center named “Appayon” is situated near our located store, which is always
busy with different ceremonies; seminars etc. It may help us to increase our sales volume. Our
building is besides a market place which will also help in increasing our sales volume. And

www.AssignmentPoint.com 6
another important factor behind choosing this location is that Mirpur is developing day by day.
Lots of housing societies and individual entrepreneurs are making multistoried buildings in
Pallabi areas. In Mirpur the development of the number of garments industries are significant.
So, we have a huge chance of attracting customers and gaining a brand name.
We are already found sufficient ‘Karigar’ for our business. But it was a difficult task for us to
manage the ‘Karigar’. Later we were able to employ only 8 ‘karigar’ for our shop. But with these
‘karigar’ they had 2 more helpers to support them.

We collect our initial capital by generates loan for the capital, from our savings amount and
some cash from one of our partner’s father which he invests for our business. In the way we will
able to accumulate 2.5 lakh taka as an initial invest. With this amount we will try to start our
business in the name of the Almighty.

www.AssignmentPoint.com 7
CHAPTER 4 THE PRODUCTION PLAN

We will be involved in the whole producing process of our products. Means we will produce all
sorts of sweets which will be found in our in our stores except some items like the bogura’s doi,
tangailer chomchom from outside. We will make contract with some sweets stores in Bagura and
Tangail who will ensure us to supply pure doi and chomchom from their own production or
production units. We will be very careful about selecting these stores because our main target is
to provide high quality products which are our main goal. Our company is semi automated, so
there is need of some fixed machines. For the purchase of fixed machines we obviously focus on
the machines that will long lasting quality and have lower maintenance costs. The karigors
(worker) we chose for production of sweets are very skilled. In choosing the procurement
ingredients we also concern about the quality of the ingredients. The procurement ingredients for
our production are: milk, ghee, sugar, maoya, cheese, etc. Milk vita’s factory is established in
Mirpur. So, it will be easy for us to collect some procurement ingredients from here, it will also
help us to reduce the transaction costs too. We will also fix contract with our suppliers about the
quality, quantity, prices of the procurement ingredients. Another most important objective of us
is that we have an idea for expanding our business in future from ‘BANALATA SWEETS’ to
‘BANALATA SWEETS & BAKERIES’, also a plan to make some branches of our stores in
some selected area of Dhaka city.

mainly go for geographical segmentation first, where our main target is the pallbi’s people of
Mirpur. We also projected an assumption of numeric figure that our local customers’ means the
people of pollobi are about 60% others come from outside the Pollobi about 40%. We can show
our target segment through the following pie chart:

CHAPTER 7 ASSESSMENT OF RISK

As we know when we are able to consider probability or assumption with events, we can
consider it as risk or risky criteria and when we cannot add assumption then it is considered as
uncertainty. So it is a very important issue for businesses to eliminate uncertainty through
assumptions. Now, as a consequence “BANALATA SWEETS” is also trying to convert their
risk into return. There are three ways that need to be considered and those are:

Risky Elements or Factors:

“BANALATA SWEETS”, today is dominating in Mirpur-Pallabi area, as consequences


competitors are finding it lucrative business. If we define risky factors then that could be fierce
competition among Musilim Sweets, Banaful, Alauddin etc. And another important issue could
be fluctuation of ingredient prices though it will be applicable for all participants but question
will be arose “who will dominate?”

Consequences of Risky Events:

As we know, impact of risk is very much harmful for any business but the nature of the risk will
not affect every business equally. The possible consequences for “BANALATA SWEETS” is’

 Reduce customer (as increase quality competitors or price fluctuation or lack of


differentiation)
 Reduction in sales
 Lowering goodwill (as if there is any adulteration willingly or unwillingly/ quality
measurement)
 Wind-up (due to personal reason or forcefully due to fierce competition)

www.AssignmentPoint.com 19
Prevention Policy:

“BANALATA SWEETS” should concentrate on following issues;

 Provide variation in products


 Set optimum price to be superior in the market
 Make physical outlet in other areas (as the business grow bigger for diversification)
 Maintain quality (as ensured as before)
 Find best Sweets concept from best area (will add value)
 Keep active workers motivated (as the secret recipe will be hidden for others)
 Always concentrate on demand issues (to reduce wastage)
 If possible, provide special offers during peak seasons (like; eid, bangle new year,
SSC/HSC result……etc.)

All above issues are prime guidelines for “BANALATA SWEETS” to always be the superior
among the sweet business.
