Business Overview

  • Introduction:

My business will be a sandwich bar, which is named "Balkan State's Sandwiches". The location of my bar will be in Tottenham, North(east) London, the reason to be located there is simple because the rent is not expensive and have many people from the East Europe (where the Balkan State is located in). This business is in tertiary sector, because is kind of restaurant.

I have chose that kind of business because people love to eat, some people like to try different type of foods and some people just miss their country's sandwiches like me.

I decide to put some Aims and Objectives for my business to be achieved and they are:

Aims:
- To be still in the business for the next 1-2 years.
- To increase the sells by 20-30% after the surviving.
- Expand the business after 3-4 years maximum.

Objectives:
- Beat the competition with the other similar businesses.
- Add some more type of sandwiches.
- After making good profit expand the shop or open 2nd branch in different sensible place.

  • Competitive Advantages:
- The advantages of my business are simple, I will be the only seller of this type of food in that area. My sandwich bar will be located on the high road, where the station is and its in easy find-able place for the public. Around will have different schools and just 200-300 meter away have a college. The quality in the shop will be very well.


Marketing

  • Swot Analyses and critical success factors:
In this part of the assignment I will analyse my business by SWOT analyse system.
Swat= Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats
Strengths:
- I love to eat either cook.
- I have tasted many type of sandwiches and I have some knowledge about sandwiches (especially in type sandwiches I will make)

Weaknesses:
- I have never run a business before.
- Have not worked with that amount products (sandwiches)
- I have no experience to make exactly that kind of sandwiches, because they are not easy to make at home and need someone with good experience.

Opportunities:
- Around my sandwich bar will have many students, which is a good opportunity for me to offer them take away meals.
- My premises is located in the High Road of Tottenham, there have many different type of shops which means there will have customers and will be near the employees working in the shops.

Threats:
- These sandwiches will be new to the people and they might NOT like them.
- The bar is in the High Road and there will have vehicles (noises, bad gas smells)
- I have to satisfy all the needs of the public if I want to beat the competition.
- There have a risk that the council to do not give a license for my business.


  • Promotion Strategy:
This is my marketing strategy for my business. By advertising my business in different ways I will make my business well known.
I have few ideas how to share my business by the cheapest way I found.
  1. Leaflet: I can use leaflet with small sizes to deal out to the houses around my business.
  2. Social networks – I can publish my business in Facebook, Twitter,etc.
  3. Word of mouth: That is the cheapest and a fast way to spread it.
  4. Posters: This way will catch the attention of the customers.
  5. Newspaper: My business is with Bulgarian sandwiches and I will publish my business in the Bulgarian newspaper.
After publishing my business I will not stop advertising it in the Social Network and in The Newspaper, because every year are coming hundreds, thousands new people which will not know about my business. Some people grow up and they won't know my business as well, that's why is a good idea to do not stop promoting it.

  • Financial Budget and Forecasting and Profit and loss forecasting


  • Break Even Analysis
I have made a break even analysis for the first 6 months of my business.
In the first 3 months the business will make less income, because it's not well known. My business start to make a profit in the 4th month. I have made £11,080.00 Net profit for 6 months.

My break even analysis graph shows roughly 8,000 sandwiches I need to sell to turn my loss into profit.
