However, small-sized firms will be the main target of our firm. Dushane will also provide attractive lucrative offers to companies that have management problems and are incapable of tackling problems when they first enter the U.S. markets. Service Business Analysis

The consultancy "industry" is not only crushed but also incompetent, with hundreds of thousands of small companies along with individuals offering consulting services and focusing on the few dozen recognized corporations.

Our competitors vary from key global brand-names to hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs. The main challenge for Dushane will be to establish itself as a genuine consulting firm, placed as a comparatively safe corporate acquisition.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Dushane will concentrate on only the local American markets and in limited service sectors: live advertising, event production, cross promotions, and creative consulting. For Dushane, the most significant of all the categories of probable clients are managers of not only U.S. firms, but also international companies.

Pricing Strategy

Dushane Urban Marketing Consultants will charge at the higher edge of what the marketplace will bear, contesting the "name-brand" consultants. The charges match the general posture of Dushane as offering high-level capability. Sales approximations forecast incomes of about $100,000 in the 1ST year and $200,000 by the third year.

Project consultancy services will start from $5,000 for each day, $2,000 for each day will be charged for providing market research reports, and $10,000 for each month will be charged for event planning and management. In addition, our live advertising charges will range from $3,000 to $15,000.

Management Plan

The Dushane business needs an extremely superior level of global proficiency and skills, which implies that it will not be effortlessly leveragable in a typical consultancy company-method wherein workforce manage the every day activities and create profits. The sole-proprietor will automatically be engaged in the completion of the foundational business proposals, offering his experience and know-how to customers.

Financial Plan

Financial Bail-out plan for investors

Scarce Venture Capital will be used to support investors in bailing out their investment. While, the use of this method may result in a lack of initial financing, it is highly profitable in the long run as investors will look for market risk instead of technical risk and they would prefer to invest in post-development stage of the company. For investors sustaining up-to 5,000 units, we will make it clear that assured repurchase cost of one unit will not move beyond $1 per unit. This same also applies for those investors who purchase more than 5000 units.
