Secondary market research shows computer service customers tend to be very loyal to
providers that do good work and satisfy their needs. An analysis of PC Repair's main
competitors shows no overwhelming strengths that would be significant barriers to entry
into the market, as our local competitors have serious weaknesses.

Strategy and Implementation Summary
Quick response: PC Repair will provide same day and after hours service.
A flat rate policy: Ther undermines the competition, who charge by the
hour. The pricing has been set to reflect the average amount of time it takes to
perform the task. With ther strategy we can undercut most competitors and gain
local market power.
On-site and pick-up/drop-off services: Ther will minimize the time and effort a
customer needs to put into dealing with her computer problem.
Surprisingly, our small size is an advantage: customers will recognize me (and
future employees), and will know they will get the same great service every time
they call.
Our marketing strategy will aggressively exploit our competitors' weaknesses. During
the start-up phase, we will run large ads in the business section of the local newspaper,
asking, "Are you fed up with poor customer service for your computer needs?" These
ads will focus on our advantages, including on-site service, competitive rates, and quick
response and turn-around times. They will announce our opening date, and include a
coupon for free diagnostic service for the first 20 customers.
Our marketing strategy will generate customer inquiries. We will close the deals by
offering an outstanding service and a very reasonable price. Happy customers generate
repeat business and word of mouth. Our toll free number is operational 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, and from 8am to 9pm, I will be available to answer calls.

Financial Plan
Our financial plan calls for limited growth in the first three months, followed by much
higher sales when we move and hire additional employees. These projections are
based on sound market research and ratios for comparable businesses. As we grow,
we will keep our operating expenses down, and maintain a positive cash balance as we
repay our three-year loan.
PC Repair's customer base would fluctuate if there was a recess in the economy or
other extenuating circumstances that pertain directly to consumer or industry behavior.
However, given the steady increase in computer users despite the recent recession, we
JULY 2019
assume that sales forecasts are unlikely to be dramatically altered by economic events.
The table below shows some of our other assumptions.

Fixed costs are projected at a monthly average for the first year. This includes payroll,
moving expenses and rent, purchase of a company vehicle, and other necessities like
cell phones and the answering service. Variable costs (inventory used in repairing or
servicing computers) are projected as well. At these levels, what we need to bring in per
month to break even is shown in the table and chart below. We will reach our break-
even point mid-year, although we expect sales in November and December to dip below
this level because of holidays.

The Balance Sheet shows a steadily increasing net worth over the next three years.
Since we are planning to rent, and because computer technology changes so rapidly,
we will have only short-term assets, such as computer equipment and furniture. This will
make our net worth much more liquid than many similar businesses.
