   Coat Business

    As the weather now in Chiang Mai is getting colder and colder, and a little bit of rain, so it will be good if I start to sell the rain coat and winter coat. First I would do the research on how many people will buy my products. Second, I would find a place that suitable to sell my products. Third, I need the investors and also I need to find someone who had plenty of experiences of selling coats to ask for some ideas. Now I’m on the first stage (brainstorming my ideas) and I’m getting to the second stage (research). I just got the idea, so I didn’t do anything yet. I’m going build my business as soon as possible but not now because I’ve got a lot of works to do. Anyway I have to start making my business plan now because the raining season is going to finish soon and the winter is starting.
    Everything seem to be ok but I got some problems like, there are many competitors in the market, I don’t have enough budget, I don’t have time to do my research, after the winter season is finished I don’t know where to sell those coats, I’m lazy to sell it by myself so I need someone to look after my business. I want to start my business in 15th November.

Fresh Milk Business

My purpose is to open Fresh Milk Shop in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. As I have done on my market research, I got some information about that business. There isn’t any Fresh Milk Shop in Sihanoukville (SHV) yet. So, this is a great opportunity, if we open it. We don’t have competitors. In addition, there are about 80% of people now start to drink milk.
     These are my stages. The first start, we have to create a promotion. For example, by one get one or give them coupons for discount, and we will put the advertisement everywhere. This stage is to make branch awareness. After a month, it will be normal price, but we make a member card to discount for regular member. After one year, I expect the business will show some signs of growth. So, we will expand it to other province and use milk to create other product like, Ice cream milk or something else. 
    About financial is very importance. If we don’t have money, we could open Fresh Milk Shop either. So, the beginning, I need U.S.D 500,000 to buy cow, buy tool, shop, material, and hire people. As we know the first start, we can find profit, because branch awareness and promotion. So, I will need about U.S.D 500,000 for the next six months. After our branch become famous, our business will break even.
    My current problems are: I don’t have any business partner. I need partner, and I need fund to open that business. Furthermore, I also have a problem with Milk Cow, and transport it to out location. Corruption is also a big problem. Maybe I have to pay some money to someone. The other problem is who do we buy Milk Cow from? The last one is my personal emotion. I sometime use emotion to do thing.
    I would like to start this business on the January 1st, 2012. It is the time that I finish from first semester of fourth year, and I have to go out for practice. So, this business can help me a lots.
