Business Plan Summary
The registered name of the business is ADNARA KENYA LIMITED, registered under the
laws of Kenya. The business is located in a godown of 1800 sq feet in Mombasa, Kenya.
The godown is fully sub-divided by blocks and cement to create production room, stores
and an office. Adnara Kenya Limited is owned by 2 directors, each with 50% share
holding. Currently the business asset value of Kshs. 5,000,000 being a full plant of
Reverse Osmosis water purifying machine, Plastic bottles making machine and factory set
up and fittings.

The primary function of the business is to produce and sell purified drinking water in
plastic bottles packaged into cartons of 500ml, 1000ml, 1500ml and 4000ml. The trading
brand of the business is Zam2 Cool. Immediate target market for the business is retail
shops in Mombasa town and its environs. Further potential markets for bottled water in
Mombasa and its environs are Ship Chandlers, local eating places, established hotels,
restaurants cafes and coffee houses. Neighbouring counties such as Kwale, Kilifi, Lamu
and Taita Taveta also provide potential markets for bottled drinking water.

The main objective of the business is to produce high quality water and sell at a low
price. Recently concluded market research established that there is weekly demand for
over 11,000 cartons of purified drinking water from retail shops only. The research
further indicated that preferred supplier of bottled water by retail shops should supply
high quality water at low price and guarantee continuous and reliable supply at all times.
From the market research findings, the business aims at aligning itself favourably to be
the most preferred supplier in the retail shops market. The weekly sales target is set to
9,000 cartons within a span of 10 months.

Bottled water industry in Mombasa currently has a total of 6 companies. From the 6
companies, 3 are serious operators, all targeting high end market and price their
products higherly. The other 3 companies target mainly retail shops and local eating
places with low priced products but all characterized with low quality. This offers the
business a great opportunity to penetrate into the retail shops market faster and with
100% success. To increase chances of attaining the set targets, the business shall
employ 2 Sales Persons, both with over 2 years experience and truck record of selling up
to 1000 cartons of water a week. Further business development support shall be
provided through strategic marketing campaign to enhance visibility and strengthen the
company’s brand within the target market.

The business targets to register annual net profit of over Kshs. 13,000,000 in its first
year of operations, over Kshs. 17,000,000 in its second year and over Kshs. 20,000,000
in its third. Total assets value of the business after three years of operations is forecasted
at over Kshs. 34,600,000. To attain these targets successfully, the business requires
capital injection of Kshs. 11,531,120 to purchase necessary machinery, tools and ideal
stock level of raw materials. All the required capital injection is expected to be solicitated
in a form of a bank loan, payable in 30 months equal installments of Kshs. 500,000.

Longterm future plan of the business is to expand and reach out the entire market in
coastal region.

The Market
Target market:

Retail shops in Mombasa, Kwale and Kilifi County for starter, later on expand to Tana
River, Taita Taveta and Lamu Counties. Other than the big brands like Keringet and
Dasani which are expensive, all other locally manufactured brands are of lower quality
tastewise because their water purification plants are not complete. Out of need to reduce
capital, most local water companies invested in only parts of water purifying plant. We
have invested in a full Reverse Osmosis water purifying plant, hence producing high
quality water and retailing at the same price as the other locally produced brands. This
gives us an adge over the competition.

Marketing strategy:

Divide the target market into 12 sub-markets, each with a minimum of 150 retail shops.
From market research findings, a standard retail shop sells an average of 5 cartons of
water in a week. We shall have 2 sales and delivery trucks of 7 tonnes capacity each,
Each truck will have a driver, sales person and a loader and shall be allocated 6 of the
sub-markets to sell a minimum of 600 cartons every day (except Sundays). That will
make total daily sales of 1200 cartons (except Sundays).

Employ best sales persons in the region and pay them much better than any other
company. Then peg 50% of their pay on sales as commissions to motivate them sell and
achieve the set targets. Given that our brand is already known in the market as the best
locally produced brand, this will be a great help to the sales persons.

The Future

To be the preferred brand across coastal region

4000 ml cartons 4 bottles of 4000 ml in a carton Kshs. 260.00

Market position: The products offer high quality, similar to the major brands such as
Keringet/Darsan and priced similarly to the locally produced brands.

Unique selling position: High quality water at low price. Continous and reliable supply.

Anticipated demand: From research findings, a retail shop purchases an average of 5


cartons of water every week. The target market is divided into 12 sub-markets, each
with a minimum of 150 retail shops. This makes a demand of 9,000 cartons (150 x 5)12
every week. Further demand is anticipated in the neighbouring counties; Kilifi, Kwale,
Taita Taveta, Lamu & Tana River.

Pricing strategy: From research findings, the most preferred pricing by most retail
shops is Kshs. 260 per carton. We shall adopt the price of Kshs. 260 per carton as both
market penetration and growth strategy.

Value to customer: Our brand is viewed as “high quality” water in most parts of the
coastal region. The negative part is being “unreliable” in terms of supply due to various
challenges we had before. We need to focus in undoing the negativity by ensuring
reliable and continuous supply going forward. In two to three months, we should be able
to clean our name and paint favourable picture in the market.

Growth potential: Our immediate target market offers growth of up to 70% within a
period of 1 year. The extended market of the entire coastal region offers growth potential
of up to 300%. We target 70% growth in the first year of operations and 30% growth in
consecutive years.
Innovation
Research & development (R&D)/innovation activities

We plan to redesign our bottles to new and attractive look that not only captures
customers attention, but also provides convenience and prestige. Already ideas are in
mind but thorough market research shall be conducted to include customer’s views
before implementation.

We also intend to come up with innovative ways of enhancing our channel of


distributioin, sales promotion and brand visibility. These shall be achieved through
continuous brainstorming within the team and objectively analysing feedbacks from
customers.

Intellectual property strategy

We intend to register “Zam2 Cool” as our brand and trading name.

Insurance
Product liability: We intend to take Product liability to cover us against any legal action
taken out as a result of injury, damage or death from your product. This shall be done
before beginning our operations.

Business assets: Before beginning operations, we intend to insure our business assets
against fire, burglary, theft or damage. The assets include all machinery, vehicles,
furniture, computers and accessories.

Staff Medical Scheme: We plan to provide medical insurance scheme to all our key and
permanent employees after one full year of operations. We believe by then we will have
good enough cash flow to implement and sustain the same.

water is of high quality. In addition, we shall do overhaul servicing of the water
processing plant once in every quarter as required by the supplier to ensure our filters
are in acceptable standards at all times.

Sustainability plan
Environmental/resource impacts

Waste water from the Reverse Osmosis Plant can impact the environment if not managed
properly.

Community impact & engagement

Noise from running machines can impact the community.

Risks/constraints

No risks/contraints expected.

Strategies

We have created underground piping system to connect the plant waste water output
with the local drainage system such that all waste water flows swiftly into the
underground drainage system.

The factory is strategically located in an industrial area with very minimum or no human
habitat. This is to ensure that any noise from the machines does not impact the
community.

The Market
Market research
Comprehensive market research was done in July 2015 to establish that Mombasa
County has in excess of 4,000 retail shops and over 2,000 eating places in a form of
kiosks, cafes, hotels and restaurants. From practical experience, it was observed that a
retail shop purchase an average of 5 cartons of water every week. This means there is
market for over 20,000 cartons every week from retail shops only. Further demand for
the same comes from eating places.

Further market is in the neighbouring counties such as Kwale, Kilifi, Taita Taveta, Lamu &
Tana River. We plan to venture into these markets after 6 months of operations.

It was further established that there are 12 shipchandlers companies supplying bottled
water to ships at an average of 2000 cartons every week. We plan to tap into this market
after we have built solid financial muscle because terms for this market are strickly 60
days credit.

Market targets
Our immediate target market is Mombasa and its Environs. In our first three months of
operations, we target to produce and sell 900 cartons of water daily making weekly
target of 5,400 cartons and monthly target of 23,400.

From the fourth month we shall increase our production and sales targets to 1100
cartons dairly, making weekly target of 6600 and monthly target of 28,600.

In ten months time, we shall produce and sell 1500 cartons everyday, making weekly
target of 9000 and monthly target of 39,000.

Below are the details of our immediate target market:-


Environmental/industry analysis
There are 6 local bottle water producing companies in Mombasa County. Three are
serious players while the other three are shoudy. From the three serious companies, two
focus mainly in supplying to big hotels and lodges. The retail shops market is left mainly
to the shoudy companies.

Customers
Customer demographics

The overall customer base for water business in Mombasa and its environs include, retail
shops, wholesale shops, local eating places, established cafes, restaurants and coffee
houses, clubs and casinos, tourist hotels, ship chanders companies and local water
venders.

Key customers

Our key target customers are retail shops and local eating places. The recent research
established that there are over 2,000 retail shops and over 1,000 local eating places in
Mombasa and its environs. The research also founded that each retail shop purchases
and average of 5 customers of water every week. We have divided the market into 12
sub-markets, each with a minimum of 150 retail shops. That provides a weekly demand
of over 11,000 cartons from the market. Each of our trucks will target one of the sub-
market every day to sell 750 cartons, 6 days a week (Monday to Saturday). That makes
a total sales of (750 x 2 trucks) x 6 days of the week = 9,000 cartons a week. Local
eating places will provide us extra selling points to not only fill up gaps in attaining daily
sales targets but also cultivate relationship necesary for future expansion.

Customer management

Our two sales persons will build a data base of all our customers which shall contain
names of the shops, contact person (owner & shop attendant), telephone numbers and
number of cartons sold. Part of the responsibility of our admin person is to regularly call
the customers to get their feedbacks and recommendations on how to service them
better. In addition, the admin person will also ask for orders from those whose last
purchase was over a week ago.
