5. Marketing Plan
8|Page
What do we need to do? The execution is important. Our advertising has to be in the right form,
whether that is coupons, the radio, newspaper, mailer, door hangers,online ADs etc. We will have an
incentive like “buy more than „X' amount and get discount. And we are planning to use direct
marketing most commonly.
PRICE – This is how much you charge for your product. Price considerations include charging the
same price all the time or varying it in some way. Pricing can vary by time, volume, and the level of
service (carryout only special, delivery charge).
What do we need to do? Price is an effective tool. Customers respond to value. The relationship of
the price to the quality is part of the value. Remember, don‟t think of price as
discounting. Discounting has its place, but too much discounting may mean your customers come to
think of your discount as the regular price and they may not pay your actual price. Use discounting to
stimulate business on normally slower business days or slower hours. Price can also be used to gain
business from competitors.
Flour, water and sourdough starter (ersho), are the main ingredients used for preparation of injera. To
prepare "injera,” teff flour is mixed with water in a container called bohaka, which can be a clay,
plastic, metal, or wooden container. "ersho" which is a fermented thin yellowish fluid saved from the
previous fermentation is added; then flour, water, and "ersho" are thoroughly mixed by stirring to
form a thin, watery paste and left fermentation to occur. The preparation of injera consists of two
stages of natural fermentation, which last for about 24 to 72 hours. The time depends on the altitude
of the area, the concentration of "ersho," and the container used. The paste is said to have fermented
when gas is produced in considerable quantity in it. After fermentation, the yellow liquid that settles
over the paste is poured off and a portion of the fermented paste is mixed and boiled with three part of
water to make an additive cooked batter called “Absit”. The "Absit" is then mixed with the fermented
dough and left for about 30 min to rise as of a second fermentation. This aids to get a preferable,
clean-looking, fine appearance, soft thin "injera" having an inviting look. Finally, baking of injera is
usually carried out on a hot earthen plate covered with a metallic or straw lid for about 3-5 min. The
baked injera is then keeps well in the traditional storage container called "mesob" (a cylindrical
container made of grass stems).

7.3. Projected Cash Flow
Many profitable companies go bankrupt because of cash flow deficiencies. That is why our main
concern will be to have sufficient cash on hand to meet our payment obligations, and be prepared for
unexpected needs of cash. Our conservative projections indicate that our business is able to generate
positive cash flows and sufficient cash reserves.

8.2. Risks
Company management is responsible for constantly evaluating risks and taking corrective actions to
provide adequate prevention, control and risk reserves. We have identified several risks that are
associated with our business project. There are many possible classifications of risks, but for the
purposes of this plan, we have chosen to group them as follows:
⮚ External Risks; (These risks come from outside the company and are more difficult to
prevent and control.)
Economic depression: Current trends indicate that the economic downturn is Start-up Sample
Business Plan reaching the bottom, and chances are that the recovery process will begin soon.
However, it is likely to be a slow process, and it will probably take several years until complete
recovery and full growth are achieved.
Competition and buying patterns changes: There is a high risk that new competitors will arrive in
the relevant marketplace. Our continuous improvement management strategy and cost control
techniques will help us to stay on top of customer preference. In addition, the population growth
predicted in the area will increase the chances to maintain and boost sales.
Technology: New and more efficient injera preparation equipment is expected to become available.
However, by deciding to purchase only energy-efficient equipment, we believe to have reduced this
risk over the next five years.
Location: The chosen location will be leased for minimum 5 years, with the possibility to extend the
lease over another similar period. There are no other construction developments foreseen that might
affect our business location in the near future.
13 | P a g e
Inflation: According to expert estimates, the inflation rate is likely to remain under control over the
next five years. We have accounted for a 5 percent annual inflation rate.
Taxation and economic policy changes: These changes are likely to occur, and it is not clear how
they might influence our financial performance. This risk is high.
⮚ Internal Risks (These risks come from inside the company and can be better prevented or
controlled.)
Personnel: There are many skilled employees those are able to make Enjera in the country. We will
be able to select the best new staff members from a large number of valuable applicants. Our
personnel strategy includes modern management techniques that will be applied to select, hire,
motivate, and reward the employees. This strategy is expected to build and maintain employee
loyalty, and increase productivity. However, before hiring new employees, their background check
will be reviewed, to avoid possible employee theft, which is a frequent risk in the industry.
Cash flow deficiency: Our main concern will be to have sufficient cash on hand to meet our payment
obligations, and be prepared for unexpected needs of cash.

D. Testing

9. Exit Strategy
We recognize that any investor in a start-up company, no matter how well on paper, ultimately needs
an exit vehicle. Our purpose is to provide the best alternatives to protect partner‟s interest, while
maintaining the potential growth of our company, the liquidity, and the profitability of future
operations. There are several options that could be discussed while considering alternative methods
for the partners to turn illiquid securities into readily tradable securities or cash.
These options include, but are not limited to:
✔ If any of the partners who want to exit from the company should sell his share to the other
partners those are already existed.
✔ If it is good for the company cash flow any of the partners can withdraw from the company
membership with their initial investment.
✔ If the company is liquidating completely the company’s resources are distributed to the
partners according to their share amount.
✔ At the time of liquidation some of the company assets are changing to cash and distributed to
the partners according to the amount of share they have.
