3.67L Cr) (approx. 10X of SAM), Serviceable Available Market (SAM)

investment advisory firms and Mutual Fund Houses who have been
mandated by a large number of retail investors will be our huge
prospects as well.

• 
•While there are a few key competitors within the CRE prop-tech
fractional ownership industry, most of them are based out of
Bengaluru as their primary markets. Hence VOPPL has the advantage
of being one of the first in this business starting out in the western
region (Pune & Mumbai) for starters (that are amongst the top 5 cities
leading in Office Space, Retail and Industrial markets) and expand PAN
India. Other indirect competitors being financial vehicles like fixed
deposits, stocks, mutual funds, commodities, bonds, etc. some of
which like Fund Managers, Wealth Management Firms, Portfolio
Managers, etc. can be our prospective customers too.
• Very competitive in nature and lucrative in return on investments being earned on a monthly
basis (Rentals)

own a fraction / share against his / her investment.

OUR MISSION, VISION GOALS AND PHILOSOPHY
•1. Company mission statement :
•Re-inventing the deal A hassle-free, transparent and easily accessible Business to
Consumer (B2C) Prop-tech platform for Retail Investors to invest in high yielding
pre-leased commercial real estate.
•2. Company philosophy and vision :
•To democratize high yielding pre-leased Commercial Real Estate (CRE) to Retail
Investors, that is otherwise accessible only to institutional investors, HNIs (High Net
Worth Individuals) and UHNIs (Ultra-High Net worth Individuals) through our
seamless Prop-tech platform.

•3. Company goals :


•To be a SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) regulated and registered,
completely seamless digital, user-friendly and transparent fractional ownership tech-
based platform for all our Users / Clients and to reach a Client base of about 40000-
50000 users and 4000-5000 Retail Investors within a 4 to 5 year horizon with a total
AUM (Assets Under Management) spanning 800-1000 crores PAN India.

•4. Company philosophy and vision :


•Our target market would consist of mid and senior level management employees
and other working-class individuals, entrepreneurs, professionals, small business
houses, all sizes of business owners, HNIs, NRIs, Industrialists, Corporates, several
unorganized groups of individuals who we have already been helping invest, etc.
Port Folio and Fund Managers, investment advisory firms and Mutual Fund Houses
can be huge prospects as well.
•5. Industry
•Real Estate specific investments in target market segments are limited to residential
and / or land. Other traditional investment avenues being stocks, mutual funds,
bonds, FDs (Fixed Deposits), Gold, etc. While CRE has been an aspirational asset class
for retail investors since they are mostly unaffordable, highly illiquid and difficult to
administer and manage. For instance, if one buys a property, he / she will need to
maintain it, pay property taxes, find tenants, maintain and manage rental records and
accounts, needs to be compliant with all related taxes, filings in accordance with
prevalent laws, etc. If purchased or managed poorly, even a potentially lucrative
investment property too can quickly devolve into a money pit.

•Our business creates a unique opportunity for such markets, not only by making it
possible for them to gain access to asset-class high yielding pre-leased Commercial
Real Estate, without it coming at exorbitant prices, but also by not having to wait
longer to get returns started while we also manage all the above for them. This model
of Fractional Ownership has been existing for years, or perhaps for decades however
it has been seen commonly in investments like Mutual Funds, etc. or in Real Estate
but in unorganized ways mostly. REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) that are also
growing exponentially, which also enable investors to invest in them in exchange of a
share in the form of dividends. Whereas in Fractional ownership, one invests in a
property along with several others and fractionally owns it.
OUR LEGAL STRUCTURE
•As already mentioned in the Executive Summary above, fractional ownership investment industry as a whole
is currently @ $ 5 billion and is fast growing not just with more and more Startups emerging, but also with Instructions: Company Description
them receiving substantial amounts of funding from Investors. The industry is steadily and rapidly growing and
can well become a major disrupting factor / threat for / to all other competitive and similar industries such as
Fixed Deposits, Mutual Funds, residential real estate, stocks, commodities, etc. in the near future. Given the
very competitive nature and dynamics of this business and special features and benefits (as listed in the Product
& Service Description worksheet below).

•6. Legal Structure:

• VOPPL which will be the umbrella Company, is a Private Limited entity under which all management
related services will be rendered and revenue (like Management Fee, Performance Fee, etc) generation
will happen. There will be separate SPV (Specific Purpose Vehicles) Companies like (LLP Or Private
Limited) that will be formed under which A particular asset / property will be acquired and Investors
will be onboarded as Individual Partners. Considering the company law, feasibility and compliances, we
have opted for this form keeping in mind rental and capital appreciation distribution to our Investors.
The Investors will enter into an EOI (Expression of Interest) and finally a binding Agreement / Contract
with VOPPL that will define and govern the nature of relationship between VOPPL and the Investor.

• The Directors of all the Companies (VOPPL as well as all the SPVs) will be Mr. Barun Mishra (50%
shareholding). Mr. Niranjan Chavan (50% shareholding) and Investors will invest in the SPV as
Individual Partner of the particular SPV in exchange of their respective share/s / fraction/s and the
proportionate shares of their rents and capital appreciation will be distributed to them.

Ownership
Instructions: Products & Services
VENZEST OWNERSHIP
•Fractional Ownership of high-value, high-yielding pre-leased institutional asset class
CRE: Formation of the SPV for purchasing a specific, identified pre-leased property
after scanning through desired geographical markets and micro-markets, doing
extensive and rigorous evaluations using market research and market intelligence
relating to the Developer, Seller, Project / Property / Asset and most importantly the
Tenant, including but not limited to financial standing, rentals and related payment
history, etc. Once identified and shortlisted, we will initiate a dialogue with the seller
and start negotiations followed by all standard operating procedures required to
acquire a property. Once a desirable price is reached at, we enter into an in-principal
agreement in the form of an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) between the
SPV and the Seller by paying a token amount (generally between 1 – 10% of the total
consideration) to block the purchase.

•The time period agreed upon for the payment schedule (which generally ranges
between 90 – 120 days) will also be used to carry out due diligence, newspaper ad,
Title Search, etc. We list the property on our platform for retail funding and also on
other communications such as digital, Tele and print marketing, etc. listing with
property brokers, sending mailers, News letters and circulation to all databases to
reach target markets simultaneously at the time itself with the endeavor of getting
the said property 100% funded at the earliest (we target 90 days to fund every
property a 100%). Finally, we will conclude the entire transaction by entering into a
legally binding Agreement and by paying the remaining consideration to the seller,
paying the Stamp Duty & Registration to the Govt., registering the Agreement, etc.
and the said property is transferred in the name of the SPV then. Rental distributions
will start immediately to retail investors as and when they are onboarded after their
full investment is received and documentation is completed.
PROBLEM SOLVING
•We have considered an MIC (Minimum Investment Cap) @ ₹ 25,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty-Five
Lakhs Only) which will be the basis of working on all the properties we will acquire, list and get
funded. All retail investors will pay VOPPL an MMF (Monthly Management Fee) of 1% of their
Investment for all the above services relating to the said property and also for others like
property management, day to day maintenance, accounting and taxation for receiving and
distributing rental payments on a monthly basis, etc. After a specific time period (3 – 5 years of
holding the property), depending on the then prevalent market conditions, if there is a good
opportunity to exit, we would explore it and in which case, VOPPL will charge a PF (Performance
Fee) of 20% beyond a hurdle rate of 8% of capital appreciation by identifying a buyer after
carrying out a pol / survey among the retail investors and having a 70% majority to go ahead
with such exit.

• The problem the product or service solves:


•Democratizing fractional ownership in the CRE Investment sector thereby opening up large
opportunities for retail investors to invest in and diversity their investment portfolio to
mitigate market risks and earn secondary income. Grade A commercial properties located in
sought after locations of metro cities which would promise short-term as well as long-term
returns, pre-leased to quality tenants at good rental yields being the major key factor.

•3. How you will price your product or service:


•VOPPL’s top-line revenue includes a Monthly Management Fee of 1% (One Per cent) on the
total investments, a one-time Performance Fee of 20% (Twenty Per Cent) beyond a hurdle rate
of 8% (Eight Per cent) on the capital appreciation of the property at the time of selling it and a
one-time Brokerage @ 2% (Two Per Cent) from its retail investors. The above fee structure is
aligned with the market norms and may be revisited and restructured going forward depending
on any changes in the industry norms basis inflation, overall property rates and trends in the
market, price indexes, etc. This model will serve as a high-return yielding investment for our
Customers / Retail Investors at relatively lower investment tickets on a seamless, transparent
and professional tech-based platform.

Any form of investment carries certain risk. VOPPL allows its retail investors to have exposure to high-quality rent yielding properties, which may otherwise be
unaffordable. Besides one of the key advantages of investing through its tech-led platform is that the investments have very little or no volatility as they are not traded
or traded in much smaller lots privately while being extremely transparent. Each property is owned by a separate SPV so that if ever a situation arises where in the
platform goes out of business for any reason whatsoever, retail investors can hire any other company to manage the property and their money is safe. Liabilities will
Limits and Liabilities always be limited to rental distributions to retail investors however with timely fund infusion, it will be negligible or rather nil, and in turn will smoothen the whole
process and help us expand as per our projections going forward. The only risk that exists would be in a scenario where, due to some reason, a tenant vacates the said
pre-leased property and rental payments are stalled until we find a new tenant. Such case scenarios are clearly defined and captured in ‘inherent risks’ involved, which
all investments entail however, there will be no rental distribution during such period and hence will not be a liability but more of a risk thereby impacting revenues
on the specific investment for a specific period only.

Marketing plan & Research
• The total size of your industry : $ 5 bn as in Oct 2020

• Trends in the industry Exponentially and steadfast growth being seen. As already
mentioned in Pt. 6 above, the increasingly growing number of Startups entering and
raising funds $ Millions is testimony to the fact that it is a promising industry that has
immense short term as well as a long-term potential.

• The total size of your target market, and what share is realistic for you to obtain : TAM
(Total Addressable Market) considered is $ 50 billion (approx. 10x of SAM), Serviceable
Available Market (SAM) for Real Estte based Fractional Ownership in India is already a $
5 billion industry. While SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market) considered is $ 0.5 billion
(10% of SAM)

• Trends in the target market – How are customer needs or preferences changing? It is a
rapidly growing industry as fractional ownership is a new investment vehicle that helps
diversify one’s investment portfolio thereby mitigating financial risk which is what most
consumers want – Safe, stable and long-term returns. The concept of Fractional
Ownership is fast catching the attention of prospective investors as it provides a bridge
for most retail investors to invest in highly aspirational and institutional asset class real
estate which otherwise, they can only wish for.

•2. Barriers to entry:
•Being a highly capital-intensive business model is the only barrier to entry which we can
overcome. if we can seek timely funding. Some of the factors attributable to such high capital
are
• Fund flow to be deployed to acquire high-value, high-yielding asses out of a few others that
we have already identified, shortlisted, carried out an in-depth study and evaluation on as
required and assessed them in chronological order to enter into Substantial ongoing costs on
specialized technology front as we will be a PropTech meaning regularly investing in
technology and innovation so as to be at par with the competitors.
• Higher marketing costs – Significant investment in marketing channels and media partners on
an regular basis to create brand recognition and maintain the same.
• Hiring the right talent and retain at par market CTCs

•3. Threats and opportunities:


• Changes in government regulations – Not unless major changes in taxation and other policies
directly impacting the business directly are made. Generally, Govt defines policies related to
our markets and business for longer terms.
• Changes in technology – Since VOPPL will be a prop-tech platform, we will constantly aim at
being up to date in terms of technology constantly by virtue of making it a seamless and
transparent experience for our users.
• Changes in the economy – None other than the usual factors like recession, mass market
slumps or slowdowns, etc. as is the case with all other industries, however they may also
pose as great opportunities in our business context.
• Changes in your industry – Attributable to growing competition with newer entrants however
we will be quite entrenched and an established brand by then which will give us an edge to
combat such threats to a large extent, not sans experiencing more competition.

•You explained pricing briefly in the “Products & Services” section;
now it’s time to go into more detail. How do you plan to set prices?
Keep in mind that few small businesses can compete on price
without hurting their profit margins. Instead of offering the lowest
price, it’s better to go with an average price and compete on quality
and service.
• 
• Does your pricing strategy reflect your positioning? Yes
• Compare your prices with your competitors’. Are they higher,
lower or the same? Why? Same – Needs to be aligned with
market
• How important is price to your customers? It may not be a
deciding factor. – Will be important given that it is not
monopolized.

Business Name Venzest Online Platform Pvt. Ltd. (VOPPL)
Which of the following pricing strategies will you employ? Circle one.
  Value Based: Other:
  Based on your competitive advantage and brand
(perceived value)
Provide an explanation of your pricing model selection.
Pricing model in our industry is quite pre-defined and hence in principal, we have maintained the same in order to be aligned with our
competition however, we may also revisit / change / alter / tweak the same on a case-to-case basis going forward to become more
aggressive and create a competitive edge. For e.g..: we may offer the first 10 Customers / Retail Investors for a new listing an enhanced yield
of 1% for the first year to fast-track closure of / fully fund the particular listing. Similarly, we may even offer a lower Management Fee and / or
Performance Fee for a certain listing which has a slightly lower yield but a higher capital appreciation.
 
Important Note: VOPPL’s top line revenue DOES NOT get impacted in any case.

OUR EXPENSES AND
CAPITALIZATION
• 01. Start-Up Expenses:
• Download and complete the Start-Up Expenses template. In working on this
Business Plan, you should already have gathered most, if not all, of the
information you need. In the body of this section, be sure to explain all of
the assumptions behind the figures. How did you come up with these
expenses? If you’ve secured or expect to secure loans, explain the source/s,
amount/s and terms. If you’ve secured or expect to secure investors, explain
how much each investor will contribute and what percentage of ownership
each receives in return.
•  
• Be sure to include extra capital for unexpected expenses. Opening a new
business almost always ends up costing more than expected, and you need
to be prepared. List this figure in the Start-Up Expenses template under
“Reserve for Contingencies.” How much should you set aside for
contingencies? You can talk to other business owners in your industry to get
a ballpark figure. If you can’t come up with a figure this way, a good rule of
thumb is to set aside 20% to 25% of your total startup costs for
contingencies.
Instructions: Startup Expenses & Capitalization
In this section, detail the expenses involved in opening for business and how much capital you’ll
need. (Do not include ongoing expenses after your business opens; those are listed in the
Financial Plan.) Estimating startup expenses as accurately as possible helps you gather enough
startup capital.

• 02. Opening Day Balance Sheet :


• Download and complete the Opening Day Balance Sheet. Use it to detail the expected
state of your business finances on opening day. As with the Start-Up Expenses sheet, be
sure to explain the assumptions behind the figures.

03. Personal Financial Statement:


If you are using the business plan to seek financing, include personal financial statements for each
owner and each major stockholder. The personal financial statements should detail each person’s
assets and liabilities outside of the business and their personal net worth. Investors and/or
lenders typically expect business owners to use personal assets to finance a startup, and they’ll
want to see how much capital you have available from your personal finances.

After reading the Startup Expenses & Capitalization section, the reader should know how much
money is needed to start the business and how well capitalized you are.
BACK TO THE
DRAWING BOARD,
WHATS THE
PLAN?
Instructions: Financial Plan
Your financial plan is perhaps the most important element of your business plan. Lenders and investors will review it in detail.
Developing your financial plan helps you set financial goals for your startup and assess its financing needs. Include the following:

•01. 12-month profit & loss projection:


•Also known as an income statement or P&L, the 12-month profit and loss projection are the
centerpiece of your business plan. Download the 12-Month Profit and Loss Projection and fill in your
projected sales, cost of goods sold and gross profit. (Refer to the Sales Forecast you created in Section
IV). Then list your expenses, net profit before taxes, estimated taxes and net operating income.
•Be sure to explain the assumptions behind the numbers in your P&L. Keep detailed notes about how
you produced these figures; you may need this information to answer questions from potential
financing sources.

02. Optional: 3-year profit & loss projection:


A three-year profit and loss projection is not essential to a business plan. However, you may want to create
one if you expect your business’s financials to change substantially after the first year, or if investors or
lenders require it. Download the 3-Year Profit and Loss Projection template and use it to create your
projection.
03. Cash flow projection:
The cash flow statement tracks how much cash your business has on hand at any given time. Once
your business is up and running, you’ll want to keep close tabs on your cash flow statement. For
now, however, you’re creating a cash flow projection. Think of the cash flow projection as a forecast
for your business checking account. It details when you need to spend money on things such as
inventory, rent and payroll, and when you expect to receive payments from customers and clients.
For example, you may make a sale, have to buy inventory to fulfill the sale, and not collect payment
from the customer for 30, 60 or 90 days. The cash flow projection takes these factors into account,
helping you budget for upcoming expenses, so your business doesn’t run out of money.
 
Download the 12-Month Cash Flow Statement and use it to create your projections.
Instructions: Financial Plan
04. Optional: 3-year cash flow statement:
Depending on your needs and the purpose of your business plan, you may also want to
include a 3-year cash flow statement. If so, download the 3-Year Cash Flow Statement and
use it to create your projections. This is a much simpler document than the 12-month cash
flow statement but can still be useful in making plans.

05. Projected balance sheet:


A balance sheet subtracts the company’s liabilities from its assets to arrive at the owner’s
equity. You already created an opening day balance sheet in Section 1. Now, download the
Balance Sheet (Projected), and create a projected balance sheet showing the estimated
financial condition of your business at the end of its first year. The major difference
between the two is that the projected balance sheet includes any owner’s equity resulting
from the business’s first year in operation. Lenders and investors may want to see this
projection.

•06. Break-even calculation:


•The break-even analysis projects the sales volume you need in order to cover your costs. In
other words, when will the business break even? Download the Break-Even Analysis
template and, using your profit and loss projections, enter your expected fixed and variable
costs. Adjust the categories to reflect your own business.
• 
•You can even create a couple of different break-even analyses for different scenarios. For
example, your payroll costs will vary depending on whether you hire full-time employees or
use independent contractors. Creating different break-even analyses can help you determine
the best option.
Instructions: Financial Plan

•07. Use of capital:


•If you’re using the business plan to seek financing from lenders or
investors, provide a breakdown of how you will the capital and what
results you expect. For example, perhaps you will use the money to buy
new equipment and expect that to double your production capacity.
• 
•After reading the Financial Plan section, the reader should understand
the assumptions behind your financial projections and be able to judge
whether these projections are realistic.
• 
•A SCORE mentor can help you complete your Financial Plan tailored for
your business. Find a SCORE mentor.
Instructions: Appendices
•Don’t slow your readers down by cluttering your business plan with supporting documents, such as contracts or licenses. Instead, put these
documents in the Appendices, and refer to them in the body of the plan so readers can find them if needed.

You can also include any other materials that will give readers a fuller picture of your business or support the projections and
assumptions you make in your plan. For instance, you might want to include photos of your proposed location, illustrations or
photos of a product you are patenting, or charts showing the projected growth of your market.
 
After reviewing the Appendices, the reader should feel satisfied that the assumptions throughout the plan are backed up by
documentation and evidence.

• Agreements (Leases, contracts, purchase orders, letters of intent, etc.) • Blueprints/plans


• Intellectual property (trademarks, licenses, patents, etc.) • List of equipment
• Resumes of owners/key employees • Market research studies
• Advertising/marketing materials • List of assets that can be used as collateral
• Public relations/publicity
RAISING CAPITAL
FROM INVESTERS
For Raising Capital from
Investors
•Investors are looking for dramatic growth, and they expect to share in the rewards.
If the business plan is for investors, include:
• Investment amount you need :
• INR 100,00,00,000/- (Rupees Hundred Crore Only) as Round 1 in Y1 Q1
• INR 500,00,00,000/- (Rupees Five Hundred Crores Only) as Round 2 in Y1 Q3
• INR 600,00,00,000/- (Rupees Six Hundred Crores Only) as Round 3 in Y2 Q4
• How you’ll use the money and how that will help your business grow
• Estimated return on investment
• Exit strategy for investors (buyback, sale or IPO)
• Percentage of ownership you will give investors
• Milestones or conditions you will accept
• Financial reporting you will provide to investors
• How involved investors will be on the board or in management
For a Service Business
• Explain your prices and the methods used to set them.
•Prices are based on generic market practices and what competitors charge.

• What systems and processes will you use for ensuring consistent delivery of services?
•Utilization of funds deployed from anchor investors in accordance with the projections of VOPPL over 1 to 2 years horizon
will be the primary key factor to ensure AUM targets are met. On the other hand, our Investment Team’s primary objective
in tandem with our Marketing Partners will be to have each and every asset fully funded within a stipulated time-frame by
retail investors. There will be incentive-driven target-oriented tasks allocated to each Investment Manager (IM) & each
Assistant Manager (AM). Weekly Business Reviews will be conducted to understand the status on each asset and strategies
will be mapped out differently case to case basis.
• What quality control procedures will you use?
•We will emphasize on Customer Feedback at all times with follow ups to ensure quality is in check. Besides, there will be an
escalation matrix for all Customers.

• How will you measure employee productivity?


•Purely based on targets and performance.

• Will you subcontract any work to other businesses? If so, what percentage of work will be subcontracted? Will you make a
profit on subcontracting?

• Explain your credit, payment and collections policies and procedures.


•There will be a standard payment schedule for all retail investors across the board, which will be the basis of on-boarding a
Client.

• How will you maintain your client base and get long-term contracts?
•Using systems like Monthly Information System (MIS)

• Explain any new services you’re developing or services you plan to add after startup.
