Antony’s bakery will be located in Kiambucounty, ThikaMakongeni Estate opposite Madaraka
Market Gate B. the business website will be antony’sbakery.co.ke.

1.3 Form of ownership

The business will be a sole proprietorship business. This is because it will be to put my focus on
the business. The making of decisions concerning the business will be fast. I will be sharing my
profits and loss alone.

1.4 Type of business

The business will be a start up business and the activities will be retailing for I will buy the
ingredients and bake to a fine product.

1.5 Products and services

I will be offering confectionery and baked products like cakes, bread, scones, and buns. I will
also provide transport to customer who will be placing orders through the business website. My
customers will receive a fair price upon purchasing.

1
1.6 Justification of the opportunity
I choose this business because in Thika there is no much competition. The town is filled with
students from colleges who like consuming tasty foods like cakes. I also am perfecting my skills.
The climate is mostly sunny in Thika making the people become interested in refreshments.

1.7 Industry
My industry will be a food industry which will have at least four competitors whose growth is
going well and currently stable.

The competitors buy their ingredients from firms without involving many brokers in-between.
This gives them an advantage for low cost of stock.

The industry requires not very large capital to start. The technology required is not that
expensive and also not much labor is required for around 8 workers the industry will run
smoothly.

1.8 Business goals

1.8.1 Short term goals
My goals will be first to satisfy my customers needs and wants my providing the best baked
products in town.

Becoming a good leader is also one of my goals for this will alsomake my employees respect me
and my customers. Maximizing my profits and increasing my sales by offering bonus/offers to
my products like buy three get one free.

1.8.2 Long term goals

I would like to expand the business by opening new branches in different places. In future I
would like to open up or introduce baking competitors for the young bakers who would win
prizes on the best performers, which by doing this will increase the sales maximizing the profits.

2
1.9 Entry and growth strategy
1.9.1 Entry strategy
I will use my knowledge of the estate for it is my home and birthplace which gives me an
advantage for being known by the residents.

My pricing will be fare for my customers and me. My competitors lack the ability of leadership
which I have learned from their workers who have opened up to me and I have learnt to be a
good leader to my employees if I want to achieve well. They also do not provide delivery for
their customers which I will. I will also involve offers to customers who buy more and those who
are devoted customers.

1.9.2 Growth strategy

I will open up new branches to reach my furthest customers.

Increase my employees’ salary depending on their hard work which will improve their devotion
to work.

I will also be searching for the best young bakers to give them a chance in my bakery.

CHAPTER TWO

2.0 Marketing plan

2.1 Potential Customers
Many of my customers will be students mainly whom have settled in the area. There are many
institutions in the town that have caused the population to grow well.

There are also churches in the area. The people in the market are also my targets for the business
to grow.

My pricing will be low because the biggest percentages of my customers are low-incomers and
students who like cheap but quality products. The students also like offers. I will be selling in the
bakery and also online.

2.2 Market Size

Before penetration in the market

Sales Kshs 30,000 40,000 30,000 100,000

Market share 30% 40% 30% 100%

After penetration

Sales (Ksh) 30,000 40,000 30,000 30,000 130,000

Market share 23% 31% 23% 23% 100%

4
2.3 Competition
Most of my competitors are doing well with their business showing that capital is available.

Due to increase in capital the competitors are thriving.

DUE to their cost most people\customers cannot afford their products.

They do not offer refreshments in their services.

2.4 Promotion Strategy

My approach to creating awareness of my products is to first give a taste of my product before
purchasing for them to choose well on their preferable taste.

I will also produce printed posters to be placed around the estates and town and also advertise the
product in social media platforms i.e.YouTube, face book, etc.

The printed posters may cost around Ksh 20,000 while the media may be cheaper because I will
be using the business website.

After one month if the business will not be growing then I will have to change my means of
advertisement.

2.5 Pricing Strategy

Clients targeted will be around 50 per day

Market price for cakes will be Ksh1200 per kg

Ingredients will cost around Ksh800

20 cakes sold per day

Average selling price= 3000/-

No product sold= 20/-

A.S.P= 30000\100

=Ksh 300

5
For starting I will first use direct selling method in order to have a clear connection with my
customers to ensure they receive the best product and services offered to them.

2.7. Distribution Strategy

Direct selling is my strategy for this will reduce in the cost for I will not have to pay other
individuals to handle marketing sales or other needs.

Transport means used will be roads.

Negative effects of this strategy is that it is difficult to sale large quantities of your products

To reach a larger consumer base I will have to implement other means of distribution.
