Introduction
Bangladesh is identified as one of the nations with extreme wealth specialist deficiencies and
also there is a lack of data on medical resources for health in the formal and informal sectors in
Bangladesh. Majority of the population don’t have any idea about medical sectors and their
capabilities. People those came from outside to Dhaka they suffer a lot. They become hostage by
middle man. Our goal is to provide complete data solution for medical sectors in Dhaka. We’re
introducing “Healthcouch”. HealthCouch is online medical service-oriented website, online
business in Bangladesh. A 360-degree digital healthcare solution. Healthcouch is a digital
platform, through this platform our aim is to deliver overall healthcare services. Most of the
people don’t know which one is the best doctor for their problem and they don’t have direct
contact with doctor to consult about their health problem. Through this people can give doctors
appointment. Not only that they can see the availability of OT, ICU, CCU, Patient Bed/Cabin,
ambulance and other medical facilities for each hospital in Dhaka. Through this website we will
reduce communication gap between patients and doctors, people can easily get information about
doctors in their area, doctors’ location on map and people can easily search by doctor’s name and
view the history of old appointment. We’ll combine all govt and private hospitals and clinics in
Dhaka. Then we’ll combine all the hospitals and clinics in Bangladesh. This digital platform
offers a colud-based information stored system where the users can store their medical data such
as their prescription and medical report. Regularly carrying medical reports and prescription is a
problem. But our users don’t have to carry hard copies of medical reports and prescriptions. Our

Nature of the business:
We will start with digital information sharing platform. Users will able to give doctors
appointment. Not only that they can see the availability of OT, ICU, CCU, Patient Bed/Cabin,
ambulance and other medical facilities for each hospital in Dhaka. Doctors will able to provide e-
Prescriptions. Normally it will take 5 to 10 minutes to write a prescription. Thorough our website
it will take only two minutes to generate a prescription. E-prescription also provide necessary
information/ caution regarding those medicine that doctor prescribed. Our highly professional
developer team will continuously improve our user interface. They will make sure people from
any age group can easily use our website and find whatever they need. Our representatives will
regularly connect with hospitals, clinics and collect information initially. Later on, we will
provide each hospital/doctor separate account to manage their own information. Each hospital
and doctor can update their personal information about their appointment schedule and
infrastructure availability such as OT, ICU, CCU, Patient Bed/Cabin, ambulance. Not only that
doctor’s assistant will collect patients report and prescription and scan then upload it to our
website. It will help patent not to carry reports and previous prescription regularly. Doctors can
do their marketing through our web system. He or she can send greetings and cautions on
emergency situation only to his or her patients only.
Investment is one of the very crucial part before starting a venture. As we are proving digital
information sharing platform. So, we need a huge amount of capital to run the business
smoothly. First, we have to make advance payment for our office which is located in rampura
mohanagar project. Besides that, we have to collect trade license, TIN certificate, BIN certificate
and trademark registration. Besides that, we need to assign initially a very professional developer
team to develop the website. This is a one-time website development cost, payable in the first
year of the business. After that our in-house developer will regularly update and check for
fixable loopholes. We must have a very strong marketing team and admin stuff. So, by
calculating all the expenses, we need around 50 lakh BDT to run this business. Our initial plan is,
we will contribute each 10 lakh BDT as it is a partnership business.

According to the agreement, if any partner discloses or reveals any secrets of our then legal
action will be taken against him or her.

Business Model
Pricing Model: The pricing model will be differentiated based upon services. Customers
(Patients) will use it free only for Digital Appointment, Test & checkup booking, 24/7
Ambulance booking. To use smart prescription and Test, Cloud Report and Medicine reminder
they have to purchase premium membership. We’ll set value-based pricing. But medicals and
doctors won’t get any free service. We’ll have 20% commission on each booking and visit
accrued by us.
Social goal: This is very important part of any organization to have social responsibilities. We’ll
always try to add value on social and socio-economic by offering jobs for unemployed people
and others certain activities:
Financial sustainability: When we can achieve financial sustainability when we’ll able to
provide the best service in market that covers our expenses. Our main focus will be on long-term
profitability by providing the best services. Our business is directly connected with medical
industry. Many medicine industries pay a lot of many to collect data regarding which medicine is
4|Page
more preferable by doctors. We can easily find out those data by our smart prescription
technologies. We can manage investment from those medicine industries. People using SEO or
digital marketing to place their product and services on top in online presence but there is no
solution for medical industries. We’ll be the first who will help medicals and doctors for their
marketing growth. So, customers interest is the key factor for our sustainability. Cash flow is a
major concern for any business. We won’t provide any credit facilities.
Eco friendly: As a service-oriented business, we are not directly responsible for hampering
environment. We’ll promote natural medicines and paperless working environment. Our smart
prescription helps doctors and hospitals to promote paperless organization. We’ll run our
business without hampering environment and recycling process.
Ethical
PESTEL Analysis
Political
Our political history has an unstable situation and business has to face a lot of trouble for
political situation. Our business idea has that opportunity to provide service in online. Although
we have to ensure ambulance facilities to the patients. And it will be challenging for us with our
political situation to complete our task.

Economic
Our economy has been growing rapidly for couple of years. Not only our agriculture flourished
but also other industries are doing well. Our maximum population are choosing higher standard
of living due to growing economy. Instead of taking appointment of doctors our website will do
it for them as soon as they log into the website. This will cut down their extra time that they used
to waste in the phone to have doctor’s appointment.
Social
Our culture has been developing by the influence of globalization. Now, the world has become
shorter than we can think of it. Our population now adapting western culture as well and we are
celebrating all kind of festivals that are recognized by the western world. Due to economic
stability people want to follow new ideas and enjoy that kind of service that will save their time
and tension as well. Our business idea is about providing this kind of service that will make sure
their health problem and save a lot of time in the worse situations.
Technology
We are addressing our country as ‘Digital Bangladesh’. In the past our people didn’t understand
technology that much compare to rest of the world. But we are getting closer to the updated
world. Now, most of the population using technology for education, official works, election,
business work and import, export etc. Our business mainly based on technology. We are taking
this valuable chance to promote technological advancement and fast growing online medical
services to the people. By this online medical service people will manage to save their close
one’s life as quickly as possible.
Environment
We will do our business in online and we can assure that won’t pollute our environment at all.
We will also be taking care of our ambulance system. We will provide ambulance for the
emergency and that will not make sound pollution either.
Legal
A business can start its work after completion of legal issues. Our legal document we collected
from different hospital and also from doctors who will provide services. Without this legal
6|Page
document we cannot run our business as our main work is reaching to the needy person and
giving them medical services.
Our business main product is service. As a service based company, we will have hospital
authority, doctors, ambulance-company, Customer as our key partners. And we will make sure
that we have them by providing different offer and discount. As we’re the only this kind of
service provider customers can’t have much bargaining power.
Customers have the option to switch one service to another for the cost, as first mover we have
the advantage to level our price. According to the health condition and the hospital facilities we
will create a price level so that they can have the option to choose as per their demand.
Competitive Rivalry
We have the advantage of first mover in this market. Providing medical service through online is
a new idea for customer. We can establish our business by ensuring our customer because we
7|Page
don’t have competitors in the current situation. And we will face some competition by some
loyal customer but we will give them discount and fast service to make our loyal customer.
In the current situation, we don’t have other business that has close substitute to us. With this
opportunity we can maximize our profit. We will use that power and in future we can increase
profit as per the service required.
Our business idea is new, we will provide service through online. Though this is an era of
technology there will be new comers. So, we need to cope up with new technical system and
improve our business strategy so that no one can move ahead of us. We will also follow the
copyright process to make sure that no one can steal our business idea.

A large number of people in Bangladesh have no or little access to health care facilities. In rural
area, medical service is very poor. That’s why, people come to Dhaka for better medical service.
But it seems very difficult to them to take an appointment or for a better treatment which doctor
they should go. From this thought, the idea of “Healthcouch” came and we initiate to open an
online medical service-oriented website to solve this problem. Through this website, people can
easily take appointment from doctors, can see the availability of scheduling time of doctors,
patient bed/cabin cost of each hospital and other medical facilities. Not only that, we will provide
emergency ambulance service at any time any situation. Besides, doctors can also give message
their patients about their appointment timing or any emergency through our website. We make
sure to provide our users the highest level of medical care and their safety at all times.
For starting up a business requires some essential office equipment. As our business is mainly
based on online platform so we don’t need much equipment which basically needed for a
physical office.
The list of the essential office equipment that will be needed in our office are given below:
Office Furnitures
Computers
Servers
24/7 Power Supply
High speed internet
Smartphone
Microphone
Printers

Stationary items such as pen, pencil, ruler, staplers etc.
We also need personnel to run the business. As this is partnership business, so we divide the
work among us and each of us is responsible for assigned task.
Besides us, we need some professional web & app developer, software engineers to build and
maintain our website.

Operational plan
The main objective of Healthcouch service is to provide complete data solution for medical
sectors in Dhaka. We will provide a wide range assistant function to serve a wide range of clients
from small business to people. We will improve a website as a face of Healthcouch and also as a
marketing toll. We will provide information about doctors /hospitals and the availability of OT,
ICU, CCU, patient bed, ambulance and other information to serve our customer. We will also
develop as app to make our service more users friendly and reach more customers. In our app
healthcouch, the only interaction that healthcouch will have with customer is conversation over
the phone, though our app as well as viewing our website.
The day to day operations of our business include a focus on providing the best service to our
customers and to do that the most important thing is to make sure that the operational plan runs
smoothly. We divided our operational plan in to six phases. Each phase talk about different
integral business functions that we will have to go through once we are out there in the market.
These are:
Phase 1:
15 | P a g e
The first phase will deal with the research and development behind our service. The R&D
group will work and ensure appropriate utilization of innovation. So as to set up our
brand, we will require a development R&D group for our continuous improvement.
Phase 2:
After getting the insights from the R&D team, the main issue will be getting a workplace
and appropriate equipment for providing our service. We need to make sure that the
capital expenditure that we are doing for new workplace and new equipment are done
after proper assessment and forecasting.
Phase 3:
Simply having a work environment or proper equipment won't be sufficient to begin our
business. At this stage we need to source the right people to handle the project. As our
business is technology based, we will need people that are highly skilled in this sector.
We will also require people who can promote and grow our project both in online life
world and in genuine world.
Phase 4:
At this phase we will build the awareness for our service. We will organize road shows at
every government and private hospital in Dhaka city and then slowly expand our territory
outside Dhaka.
Phase 5:
After a month of awareness building phase, we will launch our website with official press
conference and newspaper announcement. At the very same day, we will go to different
contact points in the rural areas, and conduct our activation and launch Healthcouch.
Phase 6:
16 | P a g e
Just by launching the App won’t create the environment that we need to make this project
a success. We need to make sure that the people, who want our service, can have it, by
making sure distribution network between our doctor and our customers.
Technology Utilization
R&D:
Our businesses will use technology for research and development purpose. In today’s
competitive world, any business needs to make extensive research on various factors to
succeed. We will need technology’s help to gather facts about our customer’s needs,
business competitors and market behavior.
Marketing:
Technology will play an important role in promotion of our service. We will use social
media marketing network like Facebook, YouTube, Google Ads to reach our target
market.
In recent time, this is more effective to promote business in online social media.
Market Plan
HealthCouch is an online medical which is oriented on website, a 360-degree digital healthcare
solution for everyone. It is a digital platform; our aim is to deliver overall healthcare services.
So, we identified the market gap, and found the opportunity window to start our business.
Initially we will start our business in Dhaka City then we will extend our service in the other
areas. We will use different types of marketing strategies to win the market and retain the market
for a long time to come. So, based on 7P'S, we're creating our Health Couch Marketing Plan.
17 | P a g e
Product
HealthCouch is a phenomenon that starts as a small entity but gradually expands and spreads
across whole country with the time it does. HealthCouch will be a unique app, offering a 360-
degree healthcare solution for everyone. Many people don't know which one is the right doctor
for their problem and they don’t have direct contact with doctor to consult about their health
problem. So, through this website they can have the doctor’s appointment, not only that they can
see the availability of OT, ICU, CCU, Patient Bed/Cabin, ambulance and other medical facilities
for each hospital in Dhaka. With this website we can reduce the contact gap between patients and
doctors, people can easily get information about doctors in their area, doctors’ location on map
and people can easily search by doctor’s name and view the history of old appointment. As we
are going to be the first mover, we will try to provide all the highest quality service in a shorter
period.
Price
For the pricing we will charge 20% Commission for the service which we are going to provide.
After gaining a certain market share and visibility for our website, prices are subject to potential
changes.
Place
18 | P a g e
Initially targeting a specific segment that we are working on to build up our business. Primarily
we will start our business at Dhaka city and our target customers will be residents in near Dhaka.
Through we are aiming for the entire county.
Promotion
Our first challenge as a new company is getting to the target audience. That’s why w e have plans
to use various type of promotional strategy. Our first job will be to aware people about our services.
That’s why we will try to reach the entire target customer through all the digital marketing via
Tvc, Ovc, all the print media and all the social media as well. We will do some awareness video
with the renowned doctors for our Tvc. We also try to do some campaign at all the universities at
Dhaka. And we have to keep this in our mind that we couldn’t invest that amount of money for
our promotion in order to increase the service numbers.
Packaging
As a service provider, we will not be developing any product on our own. As we are a medical
service provider, we will deliver overall healthcare services. That is why our company has no
choice for packaging.
Positioning
Growing company holds a market capture role. It's the perfection sometimes. It also leads to bad.
We'll seek to sustain our position in the future market positively, though. We assume the main
factor for success is customer service. And for the positioning our main focus will be the young
generation because our service will be a website-based service and the customer should have the
minimum technological knowledge for this. Recently, our young people are familiar with all the
technologies and everyone has a Smartphone, which is why our main focus is on them. And then
doctors and medical people will be our key media for supporting and motivating people to use
our website for them as well.
People
19 | P a g e
Since our company is service based. So, we need to recruit a few people with high software
engineering skills and we need to develop a strong marketing team for our company. And some
of our partners are from HR major and Marketing major so they can help us as well
Organizational Plan
Form of ownership
Our ‘HealthCouch’ will have partnership ownership, where owners will operate management
feature, gains and losses of this business. Five North South university students have come up
with a startup called ‘HealthCouch’ with a passion for becoming entrepreneurs. As we
established our partnership ownership business in compliance with the “PARTNERSHIP ACT
1932”, this does not require registration of a partnership deed or agreement. Such a company's
registration is optional, but under the act we must do it, and also keep the patent, trademark,
collect trade license. Each partner remains individually and legally responsible for the debts to
the company. They will declare company gains or losses on their own personal income text
return, and they won't be paid separately to the company.
Identification of partners
Our company will mainly be financed by the following five members equally 20 percent by
ourselves.
Terms of Agreement
No one can withdraw their profit for the first 4 years for the betterment of the business.
20 | P a g e
Partners would get an equal share of profits and bear any kind of losses equally.
For any kind of business proposition from a partner, he or she has to get the consent of all
the other partners. To deal with conflict, votes will be counted and the decision of the
majority of the partners would be granted.
Each partner should have equal contribution to any sorts of investments.
For any kind of withdrawal or death of a partner, we will follow the Partnership Acts
Authority of principals
All the partners are going to have equal authority. They will also have control over their specific
roles. Benefit is to be distributed equally among the partners. The liabilities will be the same too.
For any form of business transition, the majority of the partners need to agree with a specific
decision.
Management-team background

5. Mohammad Tanvir Ahmed as the Director of Finance of the company, his

Assessment of Risk
It can be challenging for some aging and uneducated people who can’t easily adopt “smartphone
trend” which might hamper our business. The person who belong to lower middle class and are
not comfortable about new technology might found this service more complex. So, this is a risk
factor and challenging also to grab all types of people. Security risk is also a concern matter to us
as no patient would want to share her/his information to others. Beside all of these, there might
be some technical problem such as the connection’s not stable, the data doesn’t flow etc. If we
fail to do this, then we might lose many users. It will be difficult for us to position our business
22 | P a g e
in the market if new competitors come up with innovative idea that maybe turns our weakness
into their strengths.
New Technologies
Now-a-days there are almost everyone who can manage the cost of a smart mobile phone and all
of them are attached to social media. It will help us to get more data on most recent patterns in
technology and also enable us to analyze the changing risk profiles of these applications. Based
on this information, we will start our business with most recent equipment and at this point, we
won’t bring about costs on it.
Contingency Plans
A contingency plan is something which ensure one to prepare for future if there is any incident
occurs. For example- based on Covet-19 situation, now ride sharing app “Pathao” has changed
its business model and re-launches “Pathao TONG” by which people can buy daily necessities,
medicine, health and hygiene products through app to survive in this crisis. So, if there is any
chance to fail our business plan in future, then we will come up a new strategy & business plan
based on the underlying situation at that particular time.
Financial Plan
Assumptions
We are not expecting to generate a lot of revenue during the two to three years. There will be 5
types of revenue in our business. This are smart prescription, 24/7 ambulance, Cloud report,
Medicine reminder and 360 solution for medicals. We expected to 14% revenue growth in smart
23 | P a g e
prescription, 14% in 24/7 Ambulance, 8% in cloud report, 8% in medicine reminder and 20% in
360 solution for medicals. As a start-up company, the expenses will be higher and the company
will take time to generate more revenue. Furniture and fixed assets are depreciated at a 5%
straight line method. Accounts payable are assumed to be lower during the first years. The
marketing cost will be reduced after first year.
