1.0 Executive Summary

Numical Concept is a start-up company and the brand owner of M.G Taxis, a Kaduna based
company, whose mission is to provide reliable and safe mass-transit services by using fully
trained and accountable drivers, the company intends to own an in-house auto workshop, with
stickily monitored and control inventory. The company will establish its presence in the industry
by acquiring an additional 5 refurbished Volkswagen Golf 3 (1992 model) vehicles.

The company is managed and owned by Mr. Harry Haruna Gaiya a graduate of chemical
engineering from F.U.T Minna, Niger state. Worked as Project Engineer II for AKBAK
Engineering & Technical services from 2012 - 2015. He ventured into the Taxi business at 2015
as a means of earning disposable income with 1 car and has grown the business to managing
two (2) numbers of Taxis at 2016. In his experience, maintenance is the most critical part of
this line of business and in order to grow the business, an in-house maintenance team and
workshop needs to be established.

The company will employ 7 contract drivers, train them and equip with CUG lines and fix Global
Positioning Systems (GPS) car tracking systems on the cars (as an added safety measure for
both drivers and passengers) which enable the cars to be tracked or located in an emergency.
All M.G Taxi cars will be clean, well maintained, and inspected regularly for safety and comfort.

The company's strategy is to build reputation and market share by establishing our brand as
neat and well maintained mass-transit taxis unlike the existing mass-transit taxis in the area.
The company's long-term goal is to be the top-rated ground transportation company in Kaduna
state.

The company is seeking N5 million loan from the Bank Of Industry, Nigeria to fund the
acquisition of 5 refurbished Volkswagen Golf 3 (1992 model), stocking of inventory and its

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

4.3 Service Business Analysis

Market 1-Taxi Cabs

This category covers establishments engaged primarily in furnishing passenger transportation


by automobiles not operated on regular schedules or between fixed terminals. Taxi cab fleet
owners and organizations are included, regardless of whether drivers are hired, rent their cabs,
or are otherwise compensated.

Industry Snapshot

In 1990, U.S. consumers spent an estimated $3.17 billion on taxis. That year, approximately
32,600 were employed in the industry as owners, managers, drivers, dispatchers, or
mechanics. Since the mid- 1970's, when a trend toward independent contracting among drivers
developed, three out of every four drivers became independent contractors licensed through,
and renting their vehicles from, the taxi companies. Overall, the U.S. taxi industry consisted of
205,300 vehicles in 1993. Of these, 170,800 were licensed taxis and 16,600 were hired cars,
also referred to as executive sedans or liveries. The remainder was minibuses or vans, many of
which were wheelchair-accessible for transporting the elderly and disabled.

Organization and Structure

Most taxi companies followed a similar organizational pattern. Managers, sometimes the
company owners' ran the business, hired drivers, and performed other administrative duties.
Dispatchers took calls and assigned cabs to passenger locations. The position of dispatcher once

Page 5
My Business Plan

represented a promotion awarded to experienced cab drivers, whose familiarity with the city
best qualified them for the job. However, the increase in computer-based dispatching in the
early 1990's prompted cab companies to favor computer skills over specialized knowledge of
local geography when filing the dispatcher position.

Regulation of the U.S. taxi industry varied from city to city. While almost all cities had some
form of licensing requirements, larger urban areas had the strictest regulations. San Francisco
regulations focused on fares charged to customers, with rates assigned to designated zones of
the city.

Current Conditions

In 1998, 6,342 taxi fleets, consisting of 144,000 cars, were operating in the United States. On a
national level, in the early 1990's, taxi's made approximately 2 billion passenger trips a year.
Most taxi fleets were small, family-owned businesses or individual partnerships; only 5% were
corporations. Almost all operated within a single municipality, and more than half of all taxi
companies had fewer than 10 vehicles. In rural areas, companies tended to be extremely small,
with 1 to 3 cars available for customers. In cities of 100,000 people, the average fleet size was
20 cars. In urban centers of 200,000 or more people, cab companies retained hundreds of cars
and carried more passengers than the multitude of smaller companies combined.

Research and Technology

Although the taxi cab industry was not regarded as demanding in a high degree of technology,
several innovations have changed the way businesses operate. Computerized dispatching--in
which cabs were tracked by computer and dispatch instructions appeared only to the cab
assigned to a call--allowed more efficient assignment of cabs to passengers. Computerization
also helped remedy the problem of "fare stealing," in which one driver intercepts a message
meant for another and picks up the first driver's fare.

Another development likely to change the industry's focus involved its use of certain radio
frequencies. In the late 1980's and early 1990's, with investment in cellular and digital
communications skyrocketing, taxi cab companies found themselves in possession of a valuable
asset in the form of the broadcast frequencies granted them by the Federal Communications
Commission. During this time, the FCC, allowing them only two frequencies in any one area,
heavily restricted the cellular telephone industry's use of the airwaves. By the mid-1990's,
some cab-related services, such as New Jersey's dispatcher Fleet Call, were in a strong position
to become players in the burgeoning telecommunications industry.

Industry Leaders

Due to increasing decentralization in the industry, few national taxi corporations were in
operation in the early 1990's. A few companies, however, many of which were owned by larger
holding corporations, had operations that reached beyond the local. Figure 1 shows the industry
leaders in the San Francisco area and their share of the market.

Market 2- Taxi top Display

Taxi top display is a market from which City Taxi can gain a substantial amount of revenue.
This has been shown to be a viable means of advertising for a number of companies and it is
used widely. Figure 2 shows the growth in the taxi top display market segment from 1993.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

Competitive threats come from existing taxi cab companies in the San Francisco area. Their
weaknesses are, however, that they do not have the credit/debit card payment option, and
some still use the radio dispatch system. Transportation, Inc. has computer-aided dispatch but
no credit card processing capabilities. Capital Cab, Yellow Cab, and Diamond Cab all have radio
dispatch with selected drivers accepting credit cards. However, these drivers do not offer in-car
processing, approval must be given at the home office.

Taxi Cabs. City Taxi's competitors include existing taxi cab companies that have been
operating in the San Francisco area. Specifically, competitors include:

 Transportation, Inc. is a family owned company that has been in business for 20 years. The
company, run by Mr. John Brown, is considered an industry leader in the field of taxi cab
services. The company also owns a real estate agency, and 2 insurance companies which
work hand in hand with the taxi business. They lease facilities to other cab companies as
well. The company has a fleet of 1,200 cars, with half under the driver-owner program and
the other half company owned.
 Yellow Cab was founded 25 years ago, its president is Mr. Michael White. Yellow Cab has a
fleet of 2,200 cabs, most of which are driver-owned. The company still uses the radio
dispatch system and one third of their fleet is equipped with the credit/debit card feature.
The drawback to their system is that approval for any transaction takes place in their home
office.
 Diamond Cab is owned and operated by Mr. Jay Newman. The company uses the radio
dispatch system and has a fleet of approximately 800 cabs.
 Town Cab is an organization run by Mr. Pete Whitehead. The company uses the radio
dispatch system and has a fleet of 800 cabs.

City Taxi's competitive advantage is our cutting edge technology which is unique to the taxi
industry in San Francisco. The GPS will enable City Taxi to provide timely service by giving an
accurate ETA. The credit/debit card feature will give our customers convenience and privacy
during the transaction period.

Maintenance and Repair Services. City Taxi's competitors include the above mentioned
companies and general maintenance and repair shops in the area. Some of these operations do

Page 7
My Business Plan

not have the capacity to handle a large amount of vehicles. While others may have the
capacity, their operations are run in a primitive manner, and City Taxi intends to capitalize on
that.

City Taxi's competitive advantages include the availability of space, operations management,
and skilled employees.

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

Sales Strategy

At City Taxi, the sales process is the same for each of City Taxi's two areas: taxi cab services
and maintenance and repair services. The company intends to establish its presence online by
developing a website from which sales will be generated. The District of Columbia Cab
Commission regulates pricing for taxi cab services.

5.1 Competitive Edge

5.2 Marketing Strategy

Marketing Strategy

City Taxi markets its products and services as solutions to transportation needs in the city of
San Francisco. Other target markets include customers in the low to mid income range. Direct
mailings and television advertising will be the company's main marketing channels. These
channels ensure that target customers are reached repeatedly and effectively. The company
will monitor its market position through constant tracking by Value Pack and TCI Media, Inc.

TCI Media Services - The proposed advertising package, titled "The Championship," will yield:

 One commercial in every regular season NBA game on TNT for the 1999-2000 season
