Business Company

I. INTRODUCTION

The world nowadays is in great turmoil, financial crisis seems to plunge each and everyone.
Aching global oil crisis, threatening nuclear crisis, and sinking financial economies are such of the few
that warned us that we have to save and we have to be practical.

Thus, in order to answer the needs of the time, we carved this idea of having a fish farm
business project to alleviate or even just soothe the crisis faced by most of the consumers right now. We
plan to raise this project, not just of aiming to have bountiful gains but also to aid the masses of
consumers by offering quality product guaranteed with pocket-friendly price.

II. NATURE OF BUSINESS

We’ll name our business as Dive Fish Farm Company, an ideal business venture, to be located at
Dongon, Maasin City. It will engage in fish farming and selling commercial fish such as Bangus. It will
target to sell to the well known restaurants, sardine manufacturers and mainly to the ordinary
consumers. We, the partners, we’ll have to converge our resources and intellect to run this proposed
business. As agent of the business success, each one of us shall endeavor to make this venture to be
lucrative.

The production phase is expected to create minimal cost because there are lot of traditional yet
effective process of raising fishes that can be combined with scientific technology which will surely
provide productive harvests at low cost. The cash requirement of implementing the project is estimated
to reach P 700,000. The source and cost of financing the project will be charged to the partner’s capital.
III. RISKS

The risks involved with starting Dive Fish Farm Company are:

Will there be an escalating demand for the product offered by the company?
Will the price not be onerous to the consumers?
Will the cost of accessing Dive Fish Farm Company not hinder the consumer to negotiate?

IV. PROPONENT, MANAGEMENT AND PERSONNEL

Each of the partners is responsible for the management of the business operations. They are also
responsible to look out the 20 personnel of the company in maintaining and raising the fish farm. The
work force will be the one to maintain and to take care of the fish farm but with supervision of the
partners. Each partner has his own respective scheduled duty in the company in order to supervise the
employees each day.

Our target market is not just the plain consumers or the families but we have widened our scope
from the families to the restaurants and sardines manufacturer. We will also distribute our products
through consignors.

The major targeted consumers and costumers of our products mostly are the people in our
province Southern Leyte. But it doesn’t mean that we’ll just confine here in our province but we’ll also
mark to accept customers from neighboring islands. We have expected that the demand of our product
will reach up to maximum 150,000 kilograms this coming 5 years. The supply divides as about 83% for
human consumption and 17% for exports and non-food uses.

The proposed prices of our product lie between P100.00 to P150.00 per kilo. The price will be
anticipated fluctuate due to the variability of demand and supply of the harvest. Our price will be much
lower than the competitor to attract customers, to provide them satisfaction and most of all, to suffice
our objective—to provide pocket-friendly price to the customer. We’ll always mark to maintain the
competitiveness of our product by maintaining its quality. We’ll have to freeze and to make them clean
to avoid any damage and unnecessary smell.

For bulk sale, we will offer a free delivery system especially to far-flung customers.

There are two channels of distribution of our product which can be illustrated as follows:

(1) Direct type of distribution.

 DIVE FISH FARM END CUSTOMER

(2) Indirect type of customer by channeling first the product to consignors.

DIVE FISH FARM CONSIGNOR END CUSTOMER

VII. PROPOSED MARKETING PROGRAM

We will make the packaging of our product be attractive to the buyer. We will categorize the
packaging into three according to the number of kilos: 1 kilogram; 2 kilograms; 3 kilograms and above.
The color of our packaging will be a color gradient white and blue plastic with a mini-Styrofoam box
inside which will serve as the container. We have also planned to advertise our product in radio and in
newspaper.

VIII. PROJECTED SALES

For the next five years, we will expect to sell almost 150,000 kilograms of fishes considering that
our marketing program and competitive position will be maintained. Financially, we are trying to aim to
reach 15 million pesos cumulative gross sales for the next five years.

IX. PRODUCTION

Product Specification

The fish that we are going to produce and sell is a high quality fish, fresh and one source of
providing protein. The customer doesn’t have to wait for a longer time because we have sufficient supply
of fish, continuous operation and on time delivery. We can assure that every kilo have its exact weight.

Production Process

In raising Bangus, we will provide and sprinkle milk powder or flour to the growing Bangus. The
fishes could also be given breadcrumbs and food leftover. The size of the male Bangus was ready for
market within 4 months while the female will almost reach 6 months before ready to be marketed. It is
possible to harvest 1 ton of Bangus in every one hectare within 3 to 4 months if the sufficient food
supply for the fishes will be maintained.
 Plant Size and Production Schedule

We’ll timing the period of raising the Bangus in such a way that we can possibly harvest every
month and there will be no lag of production. We’ll develop a systematic and sophisticated scheduling of
raising and harvesting.

The size of the pond is 1.5 hectares by 1.5 hectares long and wide and 4 meters deep which
contained 15 cubicles.

Startup Source and Supply of Bangus

The supply of the young Bangus for the start up is available in the Department of Agriculture,
Maasin City. Its unit cost is P2.00 each. The supply of the commercial floater feeds costs P1, 550.00 per
sack based on the current quoted price of Magic 9 Marketing Enterprises.

Utilities

We need electrification for the lighting and mainly for the refrigeration of our product. Our
water supply is connected to Barangay Dongon Water Supply for our rest room, washing and processing
area but except for the water supply to our fish farm. We will sustain the water supply for the fish farm
by getting directly from Dongon River via pipelines. We also have to ponder wireless telephone to ease
the access of the customer and this will cost P5, 000. 00 per month.
