Founders of the Company
On a cold day in 2011 National Park Sathchori, we were four friends
talked about children’s daily life of Dhaka city as well as others city in
Bangladesh. After one and half year we have decided to start a new
business with a complete different way to serve the future assets of
our nations through getting reasonable profit. More specifically, I
Md. Saiduzzaman Selim had intention to work for children through
business and I conducted a mini research to the market of child care
and recreation. That being the situation of my mind, last month I
invited my friends in a party where I discussed for starting a new
profitable small business. I presented all concerned information
regarding around this type of business conducting in Dhaka as well
as others divisional city in Bangladesh. After three days I got positive
results from my friends on the matter. For consequences, now we
are going to write our professional identity is businessman.

Nature of Business
The small business world has changed a lot in the last few
years. The new small business may seem a bit overwhelming
but it offers many opportunities too. We have presented our
plan for small partnership business in a flexible way to
understand better application of this business is referred by
the name “Kingdom of Haven "is a place for child care and
recreation in Bangladesh. The name has not been used as yet
in Bangladesh as well as in the world for this type of business.
We have drawn our own idea about this small business in the
prospect of economy of Bangladesh as well as society,
location, behavior, wants, demands, level of income of people,
affordability and also profitability.
16
STATEMENT OF FINANCING NEEDED
The start-up expenses for Care and recreation of Kingdom of
heaven include initial costs of 9 million tk. We will incur 3
million tk in short-term debt to finish financing.
This debt will cover for 3rd no branches in Baridhara. The debt
includes Long-term assets include most play equipment, and a
larger service counter for the cafe area. Current assets include
furniture, lighting fixtures, some of the less durable play
equipment, and appliances for the cafe area. Day by day the
business will be developed through innovation of service .

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The dramatic increase in products, markets, enhanced technology,
and robust competition has led to a dynamic global business
environment. Starting new profitable small business is not so easy.
But we have discovered a real profitable idea for small business has
appropriateness in the present economical environment of
Bangladesh. The Kingdom of Heaven will be started from 25th
December 2013 in the 3 aristocratic locations respectively at
Dhanmondi, Gulshan as well as Bashundhara in Dhaka city. The KH
will offer services from 6 a.m. to 8.30 p.m. The children will be
exposed to a wide range of activities including arts and crafts,
socialization, large muscle group activities, and general learning.
This document has been prepared to provide the reader with
information about a full-service child care/development through
training, education, as well as entertainment.
19
It provides schedules for education to Play on Time for Kids,
including business structure, company goals, projected growth,
venture capital requirements, start-up costs, an investment
analysis and the industry trends. KH will be concentrating on the
upper end of the market: double-income professional parents.
These personally ambitious parents are typically eager in terms
of their children's development and will be willing to pay to have
their children attend the best facilities. Through specialized
training of the staff and innovative learning systems with
entertainment. It would be a full-service child care/development
and recreation facility that will care for toddlers from age 3 to 5
but in the prospect of DGB where age may be extended until 8
year old for recreation. The Kingdom of Heaven will be
concentrating on the upper middle and high income of the
market specially it means: double-income professional parents.
These personally ambitious parents are typically eager in
20
terms of their children's development and will be willing to pay to
have their children attend the best facilities. Employees for the
organization would not be more than 20 but not less than 13 for
three branches within the first year. The KH will be located in a
recently rented and converted home that now is solely a child care
and recreation center. KH is a children's play center that offers a
series of parent/child activities devoted to the educational, physical,
emotional and social development of children. Through specialized
training of the staff and innovative learning systems, the KH will be
cutting edge in terms of child development. This curriculum,
coupled with a custom designed facility and a low instructor:
student ratio ensures a top shelf service for the children and the
parents. We plan to offer a large, full scale play structure for the
child and a smaller play structure for toddlers In addition, we will
also offer nominal vending, snacks and beverages for customers.
21
The facilities are designed to entertain, exercise and stimulate
children while reinforcing good social skills in a group play
environment. KH offers a unique service in that there is no other
program like it in the DGB through Dhaka city of or outlying areas.
Though the city does have parks facility open to the public, they are
not part of a comprehensive program for kids and parents. There
does not have safe environment for kids. The KH expects to become
profitable by month 11 and amount would be 0.1 million per
month, and has projected a modest net profit by year three. This
plan provides detailed information on the initial establishment and
operation of KH- Child Fun place. The plan outlines the plans for
business growth, methods, procedures for operation, and
infrastructure. KH will offer young families in DGB and the
surrounding area a quality family recreation center with soft
contained play structures, slides, and imagination-inspiring play
areas for children ages 2 to 5 extended to 8.
22
We will provide jungle gyms opportunity twice in a month outside of the
city and it will be offered besides hills of Chittagong or Sylhet or
fascinating somewhere else. All equipment is safety-tested and approved;
employees are trained in child safety and first aid. Parents will have
special seating areas where they can watch their children play actively and
safely, even in the coldest months of winter, and can purchase snacks and
drinks from a limited selection while they wait. Over the past 15 years,
there has been tremendous housing growth in the DGB area. Most these
units are being bought or rented by families with young children. Md.
Saiduzzaman Selim is going to start Kingdom of Haven together with
some partners to offer parents and children a safe and exciting
environment for education and entertainment in which to spend time
together.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
Future outlooks and Trends: Small businesses are vital to the
success of the economy. Not only as they provide the success stories
of the future, but also because they meet local needs. Being
entrepreneurial simply we mean developing the right skills;
attitudes and initiatives to make an innovative business that would
have contribution to an economy. Most BD businesses today are
small. Two thirds are owned and run by one person. Nearly 90%
employ less than 6 people. They are also an important source of
employment. Just over 2.5 million BD workers are self employed;
one in eight of all workers. It is from these small companies that
tomorrow's big names will probably arise. Our business for child
care and recreation would be probable to grow up children’s
physically and mentally through entertainment who all will be assets
for their family as well as valuable for our economy.
24
Research indicates that the prime market for an FEC is near urban
neighborhoods comprised of upper middle to high income
families. These families search for ways to engage their children that
are more than just activities their children passively enjoy. As
Howard Gardner writes in his book, The Unschooled Mind: "As
institutions, schools have become increasingly anachronistic, while
museums have retained the potential to engage students, to teach
them, to stimulate their understanding, and, most important, to
help them assume responsibility for their own future learning." This
is the idea behind an edutainment facility. Its purpose is to stimulate
children so that they can transition from being taught or entertained
(passive) to learning through play (active).
25
Business Advisor Mr. Mahathy Hasan Jewel has observed, "People are not
just interested in buying things. They want an experience, adding that the
keys to providing successful experiences are authenticity, fun and
participation. In fact, statistics show that higher middle and high income
people in Bangladesh at present spend more on entertainment than on health
care or clothing.’’
ECONOMY: The economy of Bangladesh is a rapidly developing market-based
economy. Its per capita income in 2012 was est. US$2,000 GDP growth 6.1%
where GDP by sector agriculture: 17.3%, industry: 28.6%, services: 54.1% and
GNP Gross National Product in Bangladesh increased to 4496.26 BDT Billion in
2012 from 4200.96 BDT Billion in 2011. Bangladesh Gross National Product
averaged 3373.47 BDT Billion from 2003 until 2012, reaching an all time high
of 4496.26 BDT Billion in June of 2012 and a record low of 2483.46 BDT Billion
in June of 2003. Disposable Personal Income in Bangladesh increased to
29658.71 BDT THO in 2012 from 28062.56 BDT THO in 2011. Bangladesh
Disposable Personal Income averaged 17455.13 BDT THO from 1990 until
2012, reaching an all time high of 29658.71 BDT THO in June of 2012 and a
record low of 6808.00 BDT THO in June of 1990.
26
CULTURE: The culture of Bangladesh is composite and over the
centuries has assimilated influences of Hinduism, Jainism,
Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. It is manifested in various forms,
including music, dance, and drama; art and craft; folklore and
folktale; languages and literature; philosophy and religion; festivals
and celebrations; as well as in a distinct cuisine and culinary
tradition and culinary tradition. However Culture of Bangladesh is
conservative. Every child grows up in family environment where
they attached themselves whole life directly or indirectly. But the
value of culture is being attacked from outside culture. We have
discovered that the reasons behind for proper education and
entertainment. We appreciate the culture of our country because
there is care, affection among members of a family We can help our
children to grow up with the real values of our society.
27
TECHNOLOGY: Bangladesh does not produce high level of
technology. Even medium scale of technology like entertainment
instrument also not available here in Bangladesh. That is why major
portion of equipment would be imported form different countries
specially from china, united states of America. In future it will not be
burden to buy machineries because the type of business is
conducting highly in many country of first and second world.
LEGAL CONCERNS: we have investigated to the legal issues
concerning business. Particularly the laws is not against with the
business of child care and recreation but laws shows tightness to
the safety of playing with instrument and also standard education.
Government motivate entrepreneurs to discover new dimension in
education and healthy entertainment. So we strongly hope that we
will be able to develop our business across the country.
28
INDUSTRY DEMAND & COMPETITION: We would like to tell you the
census of children to the area of DGB. We have found information
from BBS that the total number of household is more than 1 million
and the average size of household is 5 where 3 to 8 years old
children are in 2 to 3 per family. For this large number of children
does not have opportunity for recreation and special education.
There are some traditional school who provides general education
only that does not create value in their life. We have conducted a
mini research in three areas through families where we have found a
lot of families are not satisfied with the present system of caring
children because they do not provide entertainment . So we hope
we will have success in our business. In this case we will be superior
than others of service business because we are different to bring
an enjoy full life of children .

Market Segmentation
Research indicates that the prime market for an FEC is near urban

families. These families search for ways to engage their children that
are more than just activities their children passively enjoy. As

Elementary Schools
The Company would also like to establish a relationship with the
local elementary schools; there are 100 more elementary schools in
this target area, for possible field trips. The strategy for this market
is to provide periodic communications through the different
channels, which are available to us uniquely due to past service to
the different places. This strategic approach will provide credibility
and frequency of communication to our target market. While this
market is not the primary focus, sufficient flexibility to handle this
secondary market is important to producing supplemental revenues.
Day Cares
Local Day Care centers in search of field trip alternatives can select
the Play Time for Kids as a destination that combines playtime with
learning interactions. While this revenue would not be the
company's primary focus, its potential could increase revenue base
by building strong community relations.
53
Weekend Working Couples
Another segment of our business includes weekend working couples,
meaning weekend child care. This client base could provide a 1%
profit for the company since most Day Care centers do not operate on
the weekends. This service allows part-time weekend workers and/or
fitness center aficionados to drop their children off for several hours.
While this market is not a primary focus, sufficient flexibility to handle
this market is important to the local "word-of-mouth" marketing
strategy.
Promotion
Success will be based on the ability to become known within the
community. Play Time for Kids must focus on the specific market
segments whose needs match its offerings. Focusing on targeted
segments is the key to the company's future. Therefore, marketing
messages will be focused on the services offered.
54
We will develop our message, communicate it, and fulfill our
commitment to excellence. Play Time for Kids is part of the Recreation
Center industry, which includes everything from bowling, skating, mini-
golf, and batting cages to playgrounds and water parks. We provide a
much higher level of direct child care than do most other recreation
centers, and straddle the line between family entertainment center
and daycare facility. As such, we need employees with the child care
credentials to satisfy safety-conscious parents, and programs with the
"fun" value to lure in repeat customers.
Buying Patterns
Price, service, certification and reputation are critical success factors in
the edutainment/play care services industry. The company will
compete well in the defined market by offering competitive prices,
high-quality play care services, and leading-edge educational toys with
certified, college-educated instructors, and by maintaining an excellent
reputation with parents and the community.
55
Competition for the Play Time for Kids comes in various forms. Nondhon park,
and Sishu Park and fantasy kingdom for all people are the only places within
city that offer services similar to ours, and all are limited to arcade games and
soft play. Specially their environment is not appropriate for 3 to 5 years old
children. They do not provide any educational opportunity. We have the
variety of options Play Time for Kids plans to offer; therefore, others did not
experience enough repeat business to sustain profitability. The company's
differentiating factor is the variety and enhanced entertainment value
offered, which leads to increased repeat and referral business. That is why we
assume that our business will be superior than similar others.
PRODUCTS FORECAST:
Movie Theatre
Large play scope
Playhouse area
Staff-led Group activities
Theme Nights
Art and crafts
Karaoke stage
Computer Game
Birthday parties
56
The company will succeed by offering its clients' children a safe and
secure care environment, and close personal attention. The goals of
the center are dual-sided: to help parents feel good about the care
of their children, and to make it a safe, educational, and fun
experience for the child.
Play Time for Kids' services will be positioned to provide customers
with a premium amusement and edutainment experience:
Charge a premium price (per industry standards) but not exceed
what the market can bear
Obtain all appropriate licensing and certifications
Thorough pre-hire background screenings performed on all
individuals before hired for employment
Innovative, unique birthday parties
The personal-touch in a family-friendly atmosphere that only Play
Time for Kids can provide
57
Play groups, as well as the wealth of child development knowledge,
delivered by the Play Time for Kids employees
The convenience of drop-in play care, in the same location
where parents can take fitness classes
Marketing Strategy
The company's marketing strategy is focused on establishing our
brand and promoting our image through a variety of marketing
channels. An overview of our marketing strategy includes:
Logo & Identity Development: A professional logo has been
developed. This brand will be promoted through a broad mix
of identity pieces including business cards, stationery, car
signage, and other communications.
Partnership Programs: The Company will develop community
partnerships to offer discounts to the clients of other
businesses that cater to our target market, such as:
58
Local hospitals which provide birthing classes
Local fitness centers without child care
Local elementary schools (there are 15 within a 10-mile radius)
Pediatrics offices, pediatric dentistry and pediatric orthodontist offices
59
Local stores that carry children's items
Local children's programs
Libraries ~ children's books section
Local bookstores ~ children's book section
60
Public Relations. As owners, we will promote our company and it's
benefits to the community through efforts to have articles published in
new media and efforts to gain coverage on local radio and television
programming. Potential media outlets include:
Big City Star-Telegram Newspaper
Big City Child: A magazine serving families of Our County
Big City Small Business Times
Local schools newsletters
Direct Mail. Direct mail channels will be used to initially introduce our
presence to the community and attract first time visitors. The need for
this type of advertising will taper off as repeat and referral business
increases.
Website. All brochures, flyers and other marketing tools will promote
our website, detailing our services that benefit the community. Our
website will also provide all information about us, our operational
hours, schedules of events, and a registration form for online
enrollment.
61
EMAIL. Email will be used to connect with our clients frequently
through monthly newsletters and updates on upcoming events and
special offers.
EVENTS. Special events, including a grand opening and special holiday
parties, will be promoted to increase visibility in the community and to
attract first time or infrequent visitors.
SALES STRATEGY
The company will make its primary profit through the excellent play
care and edutainment of children. Even though our pricing strategies
are set at competitive levels, the company expects to gain revenue
within the first year by word-of-mouth advertising. The company
expects to double its clientele every 6 months during the first 18
months after opening for business. Play Time for Kids offers a unique
solution that will be introduced to the market through targeted
advertising, direct mail, website optimization and direct sales. The
venue provides families the ability to enjoy their leisure time
participating in activities together or leaving their children to explore
on their own.
62
WEB MARKETING:
The kingdom of haven for Kids website address will be used on all
corporate and promotional materials. The website should be used to
support all the newly developed messages and should have "active"
content that brings people back to the site as an information
resource. This activity will be supported by the marketing plan
through the development of newsletters, promotional events, and
public-relations. -
SALES FORECAST
The strongest revenue during the first quarter of operation will be
birthday party sales and membership fees. Afterwards, word-of-
mouth and local advertising will gain market share for the company,
with parents using the daily drop-in service, day cares using it as a
field trip destination, and monthly holiday-themed parties.
We anticipate increasing margins in years two and three, through
greater efficiency and obtaining bulk rates on paper products.
