business — worth $42 billion this year(2020). There are now 15,000+ private treatment facilities and growing.

Today’s workforce expects employers to take mental health issues seriously and provide appropriate support and
assistance. But, this demand has resulted in the entry of many facilities and sober homes that don’t follow best
practices and have dubious outcomes and poor quality care. A Deloitte study reported, among other things, that
just 22 percent of line managers had received some form of training on mental health at work, even though 49
percent said that even basic training would be useful. In the absence of such training and support, more than a
third of employees did not approach anyone the last time they experienced poor mental health, while 86 percent
noted that they would think twice before offering help to a colleague whose mental health concerned them.

During the first few months of launch, we target to engage at least 50 customers through the virtual platform in the first 12
months. We would be able to retain profits throughout the three-year forecast period. We are focused on building our
market reputation and developing our brand identity of Cassona International on online platforms for our target segment
during the initial year of operations. Performance during the first year be optimal. We will generate lucrative profits as the
company grows. The business's revenue is expected to grow, indicating a healthy cash position and a robust business
model. We believe that post-pandemic time will also help us to grow our business.

In an adverse situation, we would be able to make a marginal profit in our first 4 months of operations. We will
reach break-even point in first 6 months and gradually progress throughout the remaining forecast period. We are
more than capable of maintaining a favorable cash flow position and retaining healthy profits in the years to come.
The net present value is positive, indicating that the company is a beneficial investment. This demonstrates the
viability of the business model and its propensity to perform even when performance is lower than expected.

Detailed considerations for the business plans have been made and the plan spans three years. The projections
show a very comfortable position. The projections represent an average profit of 35-40% throughout projections.
These projections are based on realistic considerations of historical data and understanding of the local market.
The detailed estimates and assumptions made are given in this business plan. In summary, the expansion plan of
Cassona International has been found financially viable with excellent profitability.
