MARKET ANALYSIS Target Market: Middle to Upper Middle class customers The business is supposed to operate in the selected part of the Mumbai in the beginning. As Mumbai is a Metropolitan city as well as economic capital and Fashion city of India, the interest and knowledge of the people about the brands and trends is very high. The disposable income of the people is also good which is a good sign and opportunity for starting new stores in that

locality. A result of market research done by me shows that the average customer of the target segment spends 25-30 thousand rupees annually on kids apparel and accessories. And also the frequency of visiting the stores is 6 times annually which is comparatively higher. The market of Mumbai is very attractive that’s why every companies are entering into this city.

Projected Cash Flow Our projected cash flow is outlined in the following chart and table. The table lists sales tax collected and paid out, as well as repayment of the loan we are seeking.

Important Assumptions I assume that the economic conditions will improve in the next two to three years. Therefore, business will be good in year one, but years two and years three. One, Two, Step! will be very successful.

The table below outlines the projected balance sheet. While, as a retail store, we have no plans for long-term assets, we will have a healthy cash balance, growing over the next five years. We plan to pay off our loan within six years.
