B. Business Offering

As many people have the sincerest desire to relax, spoil themselves and spend

time with their family and closest peers, most of them would agree that eating and

drinking coffee and tea in a comfortable hang out provide vigorous opportunity to

achieve these desires. People of different walks of life and different point of views would

always agree that you could be thrifty on many other things but never on food. However,

some people still choose to be economical and eat food that are cost-efficient but are

highly satisfying, hence, the business caters both consumer psychology.

2. Purpose of the Service

As the need for money increases to sustain the financial needs of different

individuals in the area such as the need to support studies and other basic needs, many of

them choose to avail loans from underground lending (e.i. Bombay 5-6, short time & the

like) which offer as high as 20% interest rate which makes borrowers sunk from their

financial obligations (De Luzon, 2013).

These underground lending, though highly demanded for its daily and weekly

payment terms, cannot really help the individuals in their financial shortcomings in the

long run. This has become the basis and main purpose of this study; to establish lending

company that will offer a reasonable interest rate to cater the financial shortcomings of

the market.

C. Unique Quality

Business Policy Paper Page 4


WingTea Time

Within the varied needs of people financially, (purchase land, get a head on a

business deal, or require some assistance, getting a major appliance for their home or

business and payment for their kids’ education), loans help them to get a lift out of the

financial situations they are facing. Establishing a business may have an initial drive to

gain profit; this lending business has its primary objective to provide quality service to

the people.

Other than what the usual lending corporations have, one unique quality of

FLEInc. is a service, though considered a short-term loan, offers the lowest interest rate

of at least three (3) percent per month.

Also, one key feature of FLEInc. is the 15 th and 30th payment dates. This will

allow lighter burden to the borrowers and avoid will avoid delinquency and un estimated

monthly budget plan.

Finally, FLEInc. will make sure that there will be a lasting peace of mind that the

borrower’s family will not have to shoulder payment of an unpaid loan when the

borrower dies, thus maintaining a normal way of living free of debt.

D. Business Structure

Fund Lending Essential Inc. will be established as corporation as per requirement

of RA 9474 also known as Lending Company Regulation Act of 2007 an Act Governing

the Establishment, Operation and Regulation of Lending Companies.

politically subdivided into 32 barangays including Barangay Poblacion, the central

barangay in the Municipality and is where the business is located.

In terms of educational institutions, Municipality of Lingayen has a number of

schools established and school employees (teaching and non-teaching staff) could

possibly be the FLEInc.’s main target market.

Chapter 2

THE CHALLENGE

It is a difficult task for everybody to put up a business. Many factors will be

considered. For a lending business conceptualizing itself is a very big challenge most

especially that it involves venturing big amount of money.

While it is true that entrepreneurship is a rewarding scheme, it also comes with a

host of challenges. One possible challenge that Fund Lending Essential Incorporated

might be facing is considering the fact that it is new in the industry. There are also several

microfinance companies within the area of Lingayen and other financial institutions such

as banks and cooperatives that are also offering lending services. These are probable

competitors of Fund Lending Essential Incorporated.

In addition, basic trust in the finance and lending system is often lacking in many

of the middle income earners in which the company targets as one of its market.

However, the proponent does not want to discriminate, yet sees this challenge as an

opportunity to reach to the minority and low-income borrowers as they are being charged

with other higher rates and interests by underground lenders.

Furthermore, another challenge that the company sees to face is the lack of system

or program in the country that runs credit check and investigates past credit performance

of the borrowers. Nonetheless, the company is still positive in the security of loans bound

with legal and proper documentations, promissory notes and presence of co-makers.

Business Policy Paper Page 12


WingTea Time

Above all, the company believes that no matter how big or small these challenges

could be, as long as there are dedicated staffs and optimistic leaders, these challenges will

be too trivial.

Finally, just like other lending institutions, the company is confident that as long

as needs arise, microlending will still be one of the people’s best resort.

Chapter 3

MARKETING ANALYSIS

Marketing plays the most important role for the success of a business. In this

chapter, the business’ marketing objectives are laid out together with the plans or actions

that will be needed to achieve these objectives. Market is very essential part of the

business since it is through them that the life of the business will depend on.

Furthermore, this chapter includes the profile of the respondents which aided the

researcher to create this part of the study.

A. Target Market

One of the most significant step in coming up in the marketing plan is identifying

the potential customers or the target market. With this, the researcher can implement and

come up with the strategies suited with the identified target market

Fund Lending Essential Incorporated’s target market will focus in the 274

teaching and non-teaching staff of Pangasinan National High School though the company

will also soon cover the other future market such as the employees of LGUs, offices, and

pensioners and other schools within the area.

The table in the next page shows the target population size of the target market, its

frequency and percentage distribution is likewise presented.

Business Policy Paper Page 14


WingTea Time

Table 2. Target Market Population

PNHS EMPLOYEES POPULATION SIZE PERCENTAGE OVER THE


TOTAL POPULATION
SIZE
Junior High School 195 70%
Teachers
Senior High School 55 20%
Teachers
Non-Teaching Staff 29 10%
TOTAL 279 100%

Table 2 presents the target market from Pangasinan National High School which

consists of 279 total number of employees. It can also be seen from the table that 70% of

them are coming from Junior High School Teachers, 20% are from Senior High School

Teachers and 10% from Non-Teaching Staff.

The table further implies that there is quite a number of teaching personnel

coming from the Junior High School and an average number of teachers from the senior

high school which could be assumed to be new in the service.

The data in this target population is a favorable result for this business project

especially that the company will be offering lower interest rates.

B. Demand Analysis

Companies use market demand analysis to understand how much consumer

demand exists for a product or service. This analysis will help the management to

determine if FLEInc. can successfully enter a market and generate enough profits to

advance business operations.

Business Policy Paper Page 15


WingTea Time

In this study, the proponent sees that a demand over teachers’ loan since most of

the teachers and even other professions nowadays are engaging to business, therefore

resorting to loans. Moreover, it is also perceived that there is willingness over the target

market to borrow from lending institutions and they have the ability to pay their debts.

C. Survey Result

This part of the study presents the profiles of the target population in terms of

gender, age and source of income. Gathered survey information such as Existing and

Non-Existing Loan, Problems Encountered with the loan, Obstacles in applying for a

loan, Reason for Applying a Loan and a lot more are likewise presented.

Table 3 below shows the frequency and percentage distribution of the profile of

the respondents in terms of gender.

Table 3. Frequency Distribution of Profile of the Respondents in terms of Gender


N=162
Gender Frequency %
Male 35 22%
Female 129 78%
Total 164 100%

It can be seen that out of 162 respondents, 129 or 78% of the total population are

females and the remaining 35 or 22% are males. It goes to show that majority of the

respondents are females.

Table 4. Frequency Distribution Profile of the Respondents in Terms of Age

36-45 49 30%
46-55 38 23%
Over 56 8 5%
Total 164 100%

Table 3 shows that most of the respondents’ ages are ranging from 26-35 percent

and 36-45 years both having 30 percent. On the other hand only eight (8) or five (5)

percent of the respondents are over 56 years old.

The data from the table shows that most of the respondents belong to the middle-

aged employee’s category in which it can be infer that they still have a lot to accomplish.

This finding suggests this group implies a positive market for the business.

Source of Income

Question 1: What are the different financing methodologies that you are using to
finance your business or needs?

Table 5. Frequency Distribution of Source of Income: Financing Methodologies


N=164
Financing Methodologies Frequency %

The survey result on financing methodologies as source of income of the

respondents shows that most of the respondents with 52 or 32 percent are borrowing from

Business Policy Paper Page 17

their relatives; 44 or 27 percent of the total population borrows from financial

institutions; 43 or 27 percent of the total population applies personal loan from bank; 13

or 7% of the population uses credit card, and only 12 or 7 percent uses other financial

methodologies.

The result clearly shows that the respondents are willing to borrow money with

interest rates as evidence by 44 and 43 respondents borrow from financial or lending

institutions and from banks respectively.

Question 2: Do you have an existing loan from the bank or from other financing
services?
Table 6: Number of Respondents with Existing and Non-Existing Loan

As seen from table 6, 127 or 77 percent of the total population have existing loans

from bank or other financing services while only and 37 or 23 percent of the total

population have no existing loans.

The result strengthens the previous result that the respondents are in to borrowing

money from financial institutions and are willing to pay interests.

said that they did not avail for loans due to the inconsistency of cash flow with the bank

requirements while only 5 or 14 percent did not avail for loan due to the lack of

standardized accounting and books.

In summary, 201 or 72 percent of the total 279 target population is most likely to

avail loan services of Fund Lending Essential Incorporated while only 78 or 28 percent

most likely will not avail. One possible reason why there are unwilling to avail loan is

probably the presence of other funding and income source like business.

E. Market Segmentation

Market segmentation is the process of dividing an entire market up into different

customer segments. Targeting or target marketing then entails deciding which potential

customer segments the company will focus on (Dela Vega, 2015)

There are three ways to classify what the customer wants. It is known as needs,

wants and demands. However, to decide the needs, wants and demands, one needs to

carry out segmentation first. And in segmentation, the first step is to determine which

type of customer will prefer your products. Accordingly, that customer will be from your

targeted segment. Who would want your product and whether it falls in the needs

segment, the wants segment or the demands segment. Once you decide the product you

are going to make, then you decide on the market segmentation.

There are 4 different types of market segmentation and all of them vary in their

implementation in the real world. These 4 different types of market segmentation are

namely Demographic Segmentation, Behavioral Segmentation, Psychographic

Segmentation and Geographic Segmentation.

Fund Lending Essential Inc., will use demographic segmentation.

Demographic segmentation is one of the simplest and widest type of market segmentation

used. Most companies use it to get the right population in using their products.

Segmentation generally divides a population based on variables. Thus, demographic

segmentation in this study will use variables such as Age and gender

Business Policy Paper Page 26


WingTea Time

FLEInc. Will focus its marketing strategies based on their occupation which are

teachers and non-teaching staff under Department of Education particularly who are

direct released like Pangasinan National High School.

F. Marketing Plan

To have marketing plan is definitely essential because it will serve as the

blueprint that outlines business advertising and marketing efforts for the coming year. It

describes business activities involved in accomplishing specific marketing objectives

within a set time frame. It will also serve as the road map providing you with direction

toward reaching your business objectives. However, a marketing plan is not a static

document. It needs to change and evolve as business grows, and as new and changing

marketing trends develop. Marketing is as important as the product or service you

provide. Without marketing, consumers and clients can't find out about you. If they don't

know about you, they can't buy for you, and as a result, you won't make money.

A marketing plan:

 Gives clarity to who your market is. It's easier to find clients and customers if

you know who they are.

 Helps you craft marketing messages that will generate results. Marketing is

about knowing what your product or service can do to help a target market. Your

messages need to speak directly your market.

Business Policy Paper Page 27


WingTea Time

 Provides focus and direction. Email, social media, advertising, guest blogging,

direct mail, publicity, and on and on. With so many marketing choices, you need a plan

for determining the best course of action for your business.

(https://www.thebalance.com/)

The growing importance of social media means that customers and prospects can

easily share both favorable opinions and criticism of your product quality forums,

product review sites and social networking sites, such as Facebook and Instagram. A

strong reputation for quality of service can be an important differentiator in markets that

are very competitive.

For FLEInc. promotion, will consider the use of social media aside from print ads and

other promotions.

Some of the FLEInc.’s Marketing Strategy will be:

1. Creating a business network can be endlessly useful when it comes to sharing marketing

costs and attracting business through referrals.

2. Never miss an opportunity to chat about your business with the people you meet.

3. Giving out free, information pamphlets can be pro-active way to engage in new

customers. Try including genuinely useful content, top tips related to your product or

service.

4. Design calendars to selected customers around the start of the following year, to be given

during the month of December or at the start of the year. This will help to ensure stay

front of mind for them whatever the season.

The word-of-mouth referrals and our reputation are our most effective advertising

in this very competitive industry.

The business will grant loan to the borrowers with a reasonable interest rate of 3%

per month. The loan must be payable within one (1) month up to six (6) months term base

on the amount borrowed and the agreement between the borrower and the company.

Since the target market of the project will be the teaching and non-teaching staff

of Pangasinan National High School, the proponent will propose to have a Memorandum

of Agreement (MOA) between the lending company and their employers to deduct a

corresponding amount from their monthly salary and remit the same to the lending

company. This will ensure the smooth collection of loans.

Since, the company will open a bank account preferably checking account for

easy releasing of loans. As one of the requirements to avail a loan from the company,

borrower must have a co-maker and it must be his/her officemate on his/her first loan

transaction. To ensure that whenever the borrower fails to settle his/her obligation, the

co-maker will be liable for that obligation. The company will provide a promissory note

stating the amount of loan, the interest rate, the term of loan, other fees and other terms

and conditions and this will be signed by both the representatives of the company and the

borrower same as with his/her co-maker. This is also in compliance to the requirements

of Truth in Lending Act.

And aside from the above-mentioned requirements, there are legal requirements

needed to be accomplished in order to start the operation of the business. These are the

following legal requirements:

governs all employee-employer relations, their rights and obligations.

Payroll Salary Compensation and Benefits in the Philippines as provided under the

Labor Code of the Philippines and other relevant laws.

Orientation were done whenever there is a new employee to be able to grasp and have a

Physical Working Condition

FlEInc. Will create a physical working area that is as comfortable as possible. Good

office furniture is an investment all employers should consider. We spend most of our

time in the office seated – it is thus important that the office chair has good ergonomics.

It is also important to create a sanitary work environment by installing air purifiers or

ultraviolet disinfectant systems, and ensuring regular aircon servicing and carpet

shampooing. The office is, after all, an enclosed area where germs could be spread easily.

These practices can aid in creating a healthier environment which in turn will result in

lesser sick leaves being taken.

Business Policy Paper Page 40


WingTea Time

A conducive working environment is more than just ensuring a comfortable physical

space; it is also about creating the ‘heartware’. Aim to strengthen office ties not just

among employees, but between managers and employees.

This can be carried out in various ways, such as through team-building exercises and

monthly lunch get-togethers. Also, as more Millennials start entering the workforce, it is

imperative to ensure work-life balance for your employees. Flexible working hours, or

the chance to work remotely all contribute to making sure that there is a distinction

between work and personal time. 

With these in mind, it is also your role as an employer or manager to maintain a good

working environment. To do so means proactively receiving and acting on feedback from

employees. Providing staff with a comfortable office is a win-win situation: morale is

kept high, and the organization in turn will be efficient.

Motivation

Companies should strive to create a great place for great people to do great work.

Money should not be the ONLY tool used to motivate people, because different things

motivate different people.

Business Policy Paper Page 41


WingTea Time

1. Seek buy-in. Involve staff in determining and seeing “the big picture” and the goals

needed to achieve it. Remember, they are closest to the work and often can see things

more clearly. Having employees harness self-direction in pursuit of common goals is far

preferable to forcing people to meet goals they don’t understand or share.

2. Encourage contributions. If an employee can regularly contribute ideas, and

suggestions, it makes them feel important and gives meaning to their jobs. Give people

responsibility and they often rise to the challenge. Allow them to unleash their

imagination, ingenuity and creativity and everybody wins.

3. Recognize employees. Rewarding people for achievement is a far more effective than

punishing them for failure. There are plenty of simple but effective ways employers can

recognize hard work, such as emailing an appreciative note. Organize recognition

programs and events to honor accomplishments personally and publicly.

4. Nip negativity in the bud. Do not allow employees to talk down to one another and/or

drag each other through the mud. Likewise, make sure you don't do the same when other

employees are able to see it happen to a fellow co-worker. That's bad for morale and

destroys motivation.

5. Keep employees informed. When an employee feels he or she is not up to date with

what is occurring in the company or their department, it is a message to the employee that

says, “You are not important.” Keep information flowing to each employee; let them

know what the company is doing and the direction it is taking.

Business Policy Paper Page 42


WingTea Time

6. Help fulfill career goals. If the employee wants to take on more responsibility or move

into a different department, investigate the possibilities and get back to them with

options. Giving workers opportunities to build the skills and make the connections they

need to get ahead in their careers will build loyalty and motivation.

7. Maintain workforce satisfaction. One way to generate sustained profits is to build a

work environment that attracts and keeps talented people who want to show up and

perform at a level of excellence. Focus on creating satisfied employees and they will

focus on satisfying you and your customers.

8. Provide training. Being part of a learning culture is an important motivator for an

employee. Training can help fill the gap between lack of skills and better productivity

after training needs are assessed. Appropriate training should be viewed as an investment

rather than a liability.

9. Give constant feedback. The days of quarterly or annual reviews being the sole form of

feedback are long gone. Employees want to receive constant, specific, and clearly defined

feedback from their supervisors. Positive feedback about accomplishments is essential to

motivate an employee.

10. Communicate often. Open communication is most employees' #1 priority. Find out

what interests them and what doesn't. Speaking with an employee frequently shows that

you care about them in more ways than simply wanting them to keep up with

productivity.

Business Policy Paper Page 43


WingTea Time

Motivation requires a strategy tailored to each worker’s needs. These ideas can help you

know what can drive your employees to want to do a better job. If your focus is on the

bottom line and long-term growth of the organization, it’s important to focus on your

most important asset.

Each year, a 13th month pay is given to all rank-and-file employees. By law, this benefit

must be paid before December 24th and is mandatory. Employees who have resigned or

have been severed from the company before the payment of the 13th month pay are still

entitled to it in proportion to the length of time they worked for during that year.

The 13th month pay must be at least 1/12th of the total basic salary of each employee

earned during that calendar year.

and the proponent will assume that 5borrowers may fail their outstanding obligation on

the specified term. The company will also open a bank account and assumed to earn a 1%

interest on deposit. For the purpose of preparing Financial Statements the proponent will

assume that the project will start its first year of operation on the first day of

January2017. Other related matters will be based on the current trend such as utilities

(electricity & water expenses).

Investment Requirement

The study shows that in order to establish a lending company in Jacoba Street,

Brgy.Poblacion, Lingayen,Pangasinan. The project must have of at least P1,000,000.00

paid-in capital. The proponent will propose to have P2,000,000.00 paid-in capital twice

of the minimum paid-in capital, due to greater demand of the project

Sources of Financing

The capital will be from the eleven private individuals, who were retired government

employees and employed but does not affect/influence the interest of both the business

and the company where they employed. They will contribute as to how much investment

they want to raise the projected paid-in capital.
