THE PROS AND CONS

Business Model 1:
Low value added Very risky because only one revenue stream Bargaining power of customers (retailers/traditional providers) Direct competition with associations: ethical issue

Business Model 3:
Wide value proposition Entire control on the business process Too many fixed costs without opportunity to implement economy of scales

COMPARISON OF BUSINESS MODELS

Advantage of the intermediary model on the manufacturing model: Wide customer segments More revenue streams Complete value proposition Advantage of the intermediary model on the all inclusive model: Easier to reach profitability (reasonable assets) More flexibility in the whole process Easier to achieve a worldwide development

Selection of Business Model 2: The intermediary solution

Register patent of our oil spill solution Other solution: using labels and quality certifications on products and services credibility and quality

Differentiation,

PURCHASING
Research potential suppliers
- Hair dressers - Groomers

Contracting
- Hair collection process - Remuneration - Long term contract - Non competition clause

Hair Collection Process

Deposit empty containers at the hair dressers and groomers
- Paperboard containers with a hermetic plastic bag inside to avoid hair volatility - Collect the full containers - Replace it with empty one

Containerization
- Transportation to our regional warehouse - Choice of strategic located harbors

Warehouse interposing
- Choice of location (Hub) - Logistics

PRODUCTION
Hair reception - Emptying plastic bags
- Put them on the assembly line

Hair processing into mat - Compaction in a pressure pump

Hair mat into hessian : HBB creation

- Wrapping hair mat with hessian

- Sewing the hessian to finalize the boom
