The resources will also be used to reach out to the poor and the needy in our society
through our Corporate Social Responsibility chatter.

Great light is coming to the continent of Africa and it shall shine to the uttermost parts
of the world. God is going to use THE REMNANT CHURCH, ordinary men and
women especially in the African continent to champion the last days revival.
This is the exact reason why we have developed a financial resource base in support
to TRUE, HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUS REVIVAL MOVEMENT that will be
spearheaded by this church. "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a small remnant,
we would have become like Sodom, we would have been made like Gomorrah
"(Isaiah 1:9).

- being the centerpiece of the company- creates


the financial pool for the company's charity and church support programs. However,
to supplement budgetary needs, the company also incorporates external funding. This
funding will be of great importance to our cause in the following ways:

1. Set the business off the ground- The first and most pivotal use of this funds will
be to get the business off the ground. Funding can help a kingdom entrepreneur
become of great value by giving him the necessary monetary support to at least
run a hypothesis on the idea and convert it into a concept.

2. Get hiring support- This funds will help the business find the best team and
make the hire. It will support the team's salary till at least the business starts
making profit or even reaching a break-even point. Apart from the salary front, a
company which gets tagged as being invested in, finds it easier to hire quality
people compared to the start-ups without any funding.

3. It will help in the operational side of the business- Another benefit to this
funding is that it will give the business the monetary support to buy land, set up
an office, or buy office equipment, invest in software and other products-
including new/ used cars. In short, it will help with setting up the operational side
of the business- at least for the initial few years, till the time the brand us able to
sustain on it's own.

i. Kenya Used Car Market analysis
Kenya's used car market is valued at USD 1.23 billion and is expected to surpass the
market value of USD 1.39 billion by the end of the forecast period by registering a
CAGR of 2%.

Kenya is one of the largest and wealthiest economies in East Africa and plays an
important regional role in the target market. Kenya's sizeable middle class,
progressive business environment, regional market access, and history of automotive
assembly positions in the country, as well as a potential East African hub.

Existing trade data precludes the analysis of used vehicles. The Kenya Revenue
Authority (KRA) hit used car importers with a new tax increase after capping the
maximum depreciation rate from 70% to 65% of the traditional vehicle price.

In the first week of September 2023, the Deputy Director of customs and Border
protection issued a directive to Kenyan Revenue Authority (KRA) officials,
instructing them to implement a revised depreciation rate for vehicles. This directive
mandates a tax increase of 14% or higher for vehicles manufactured in 2016. Notably,
the majority of these vehicles are currently being imported by dealers, as Kenya's
regulations limit the importation of used vehicles to those within an eight- year age
range.

However, Kenyan new vehicle dealers have raised their exports the East African
Market by 39.4% in the last half- year ended June, with the sales growth led by
demand for trucks, Saloon Cars, Probox/ Succeed vehicles and buses.

Data from the Kenya Motor Vehicle Industry Association ( KMIA) shows the
companies, including SCANIA EAST AFRICA AND ISUZU EAST AFRICA sold a
total of 191 units to the regional markets the review period. This was an increase from
137 units recorded a year earlier.

N ELSON GROUP MOTORS LIMITED will primarily serve customers within


the country (here in Kenya). We will serve customers in three main categories:
Urban dwellers, Suburban Residents, and Rural Communities. The residents tend to
be homeowners, upper middle-class, with growing families and the need to purchase
new or used cars.

This company exhibits elements of a Charitable Foundation. I know lots of people don't like to support
ideas or things they are not sure of, but having a comprehensive business plan can allay their fears and

i. Urban Dwellers: Compact and Maneuverable

Urban dwellers require vehicles that are suited to the challenges and demands of city
life. Compact cars, electric vehicles, and hybrids are popular choices among this
target audience due to their maneuverability, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions.
Additionally, urban consumers often prioritize connectivity features, parking
assistance and compact designs that enable easy navigation through crowded streets.

ii. Suburban Residents: Space and Versatility

Suburban residents tend to prioritize spaciousness and versatility in their vehicle


choices. They require vehicles capable of accommodating larger families, transporting
cargo, and handling diverse road conditions. SUVs, minivans, and crossover vehicles
appeal to this target audience due to their ample seating capacity, expansive cargo
areas, and robust performance capabilities.

iii. Rural Communities: Ruggedness and Utility

In rural areas, consumers often prioritize ruggedness, utility and off road capabilities.
Whether it's for agricultural purposes, outdoor activities, or traversing rough terrains,
individuals living in rural areas will require vehicles that can withstand challenging
conditions (ATVs), and Four wheel-drive (SUVs) are favored by this target audience
due to their durability and versatility.

Competitive advantages enhance and maintain market share and achieve market
leadership. It is important to identify the weak areas or the strengths of your
competitors in the industry which you're involved in, so that you may know how to
maneuver in business for your own success. The following auto dealerships selling to
the same customer market are located here in Kenya, thus providing either direct or
indirect competition for customers.

a). Rana AutoSelection Limited - Rana is a 300 store auto dealership chain selling a
huge variety of manufacturers, makes and models both new and used. Rana
AutoSelection Limited local store is located in the neighboring town of Eldoret and
receives a high volume of customers due to the variety and convenience of comparing
models of different manufacturers in one place.

Rana lacks a high level of customer service and customer report that they often feel
ignored or treated too quickly by salespeople. Rana AutoSelection Limited shopping
is therefore not a desirable experience for customers specifically seeking for
automobiles.

b). Mogo Car Yard - Mogo Kenya is part of Eleving Group, an international Fin
Tech Company operating in 17 Countries on three continents. Mogo provides car
financing options for used cars, logbook loans, Boda Boda and Tuk Tuk loans for
Kenyans. Mogo also has a large store auto dealership with a huge variety of
manufacturers, makes and models of different types of vehicles.

However, recently Mogo has been accused of being an exploitative Shylock and
conducting business in unethical standards. A twitter user revealed that Mogo credit
loans are repaid in dollars. As a result the more the Kenyan shilling weakens against
the dollar the more interest loan accrues.

We are also going to have an in - depth analysis of our competitors' strategies and it
will involve scrutinizing various facets of their operations which include:

i). Vehicle Inventory - We will evaluate the range and variety of vehicles offered by
our competitors. That means if a nearby dealership gains traction with electric or
hybrid models, it signifies an emerging market trend towards Eco - friendly vehicles
that might influence consumer preferences.

ii). Sales and Financial Approach - We are going to consider the tactics and
financing options employed by our competitors.

iii). Customer Service and Support - We will assess the quality of customer service
and post - sale support provided by our competitors. A dealership known for it's
responsive customer service or efficient maintenance services may have a competitive
edge.

iv). Marketing and Promotion - We are going to study our competitors' marketing
strategies, whether they rely on digital marketing, traditional social media influencers
or hosting test - drive events could have a unique marketing approach.

v). Technological Integration - We will observe if our competitors embrace


innovative technologies in their operations, such as virtual or online vehicle
customization tools. A dealership utilizing augmented reality for virtual car tours
might stand out in enhancing the customer experience.

The company has a plan to use several strategies to promote it's name and develop it's
brand. By using an integrated marketing strategy, the company will win clients and
develop consistent revenue streams.

content is what matters most. It can build or break. Therefore this company has a plan
to use a combination of both traditional and digital marketing techniques to reach
potential customers. This will include advertising in local newspapers, business
