SKYBUS, LTD.BUSINESS FEASIBILITY PLAN.PartVIII.Section 7


PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
1. Professional Bodies
A relationship with professional associations is advantageous for both small and big business as the main aim of such association is "seeking to further a particular profession, the interests of individuals engaged in the profession, and the public interest" (lecture notes).
In Ireland there are main three professional agencies, the co-operation with which might be beneficial for SKYBus business. They are:
1. Charted Institute of Logistics & Transport Ireland  (CILT);
2. Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association (ISME);
3. Dublin Chamber of Commerce.
The below is a detailed description of listed agencies and their relationship with businesses:

1. Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport Ireland (CILT)                       
The Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport (CILT) is the recognised professional body for all professionals involved in the transport and logistics industries in Ireland. The CILT draws together members of the Transport and Logistics Industry in one common networking forum.
CILT offers, working within the Transport, Logistics or Supply Chain Management industries, companies a membership of the Institute which is nothing but advantageous for the following reasons: ability to build a wider network; an opportunity to sharpen the Logistics & Transport Skills; a chance to be heard, ability to gain recognition & credibility as well as an opportunity to manage Transport / Logistics Career. There are six grades of memberships, which vary from unemployed to charted, depending on the qualification and experience.
Upon a mutual relationship between SKYBus and CILT, it is believed that our business will have the opportunity to participate in a number of social activities (Annual Dinner) which will give us a chance to network informally and to make valuable contacts within the Logistics and Transport Industry.
Being a member of CILT, SKYBus will have an access to the institute magazine "Linkline", where it will become possible to find all information of Transport Industry and any changes within it and its laws and regulations.
Also we will be able to advertise our services and learn more of the businesses appearing in the market that can become our potential competitors. Our employees will gain access to top-level training, professional development and recognized professional qualifications in Logistics & Transport that are delivered by CILT. SKYBus will also have a free access to all the Institutes Presentations by topical industry professionals, site visits, seminars and conferences which are part of the dynamic CILT program.
The Institute acts as the Examining body on behalf of the Department of Transport and the Health & Safety Authority and hence all drivers employed by SKYBus will be able to sit the exams and get a Certificate of Professional Competence in both Road & Bus Passenger Transport Operations Management (such certificate is proof that the candidate is professionally competent to act as a transport manager).

2. Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association (ISME);
By joining with other business owners across the country, ISME lets its members to share in protecting the health of the firms and resisting the dominance of Government, Trade Unions and Big Business.
It provides a professional support and advice. Its business advice helpline offers advice on all aspects of Business and HR including: Employment Contracts, Health and Safety Obligations, Wages and Conditions, Late Payments, Maternity, Carers and Paternity Leave, Annual Leave and Holidays, Bullying and Harassment, Disciplinary Procedures, Redundancy, Work Permits, Revenue Audits, The New Legislation, etc.
Another beneficial feature of co-operation with ISME is that SKYBus will have an opportunity to Promote Online through the "Meet the Members" page on the ISME website by advertising our special offers to the ISME Community.
By being a member of ISME, we will escape the high rates of companies (that are the members of ISME). The cost reduction scheme includes Health Cover, Business Insurance, Home Insurance Phone and much more.
Just like CILT, SIME has numerous networking events, conferences and seminars across the country throughout the year. These events have proven to be fantastic networking opportunities where SKYBus will have an opportunity to meet like-minded owner managers.
Also ISME has a training and development department. The agency invites all members to attend the numerous business training programmes across Ireland. There is a significant discount for members of ISME for this training. Training programmes include; Cold Calling Techniques, Social Media for Business, How to get paid and many more.
There are monthly newsletter and regular press releases from ISME. The agency is constantly lobbying on behalf of Small & Medium Business in Ireland; therefore these publications are designed to keep all subscribers up to date on the issues that face Business owners in Ireland.

3. Dublin Chamber of Commerce

SKYBUS, LTD.BUSINESS FEASIBILITY PLAN.PartVII.Section 6


MARKETING, QUALITY, SERVICE
1. Plan for effective marketing
Service/Product
·         SKYBus is a company providing 24-hours transportation services, making the rides from/to Dublin Airport. Its route has its starting point at Dundrum Centre and runs along the following Dublin areas: Tallaght, Clondalkin, Liffey Valley and M50.
·         Upon starting up, the business intends operating two vehicles that will make in average 40 rides per day. The time of one travel between two final stops is approximately 50min (depending on the traffic implications). There will be 10min break between the rides (for a detailed timetable refer to Appendix VI.A)
·         Unlike our man competitor, which is Airport Hopper, SKYBus is expected to operate 24 hours 7 days a week. We also intend to make the rides during the holidays, such as Christmas Day, Easter Day (365 days a year without any exceptions).

Place
·         SKYBus starts its travel from Dundrum Centre and drives through the following main stops: Tallaght Square, Belgard Inn, Newlands Cross (Bewleys Hotel), Clondalkin Mill Centre, Fonthill Dunawley, Liffey Valley Shopping Centre, Clarion Hotel (Liffey Valley), Footbridge N4 and Airport.  At the main stops, listed above, the bus waits for 2 min (Airport - 10min). And at the Clarion Hotel in Liffey Valley, the bus waits for 5min. All stops served by SKYBus will have the company bus stop signs with the timetables on them (Appendix VI.B)
·         The bus serves the hotels that are located close to the operating route. These includes: Clarion Hotel (Liffey Valley), Bewleys Hotel (Newlands Cross), Louis Fitzgerald Hotel (Newlands Cross), Abberley Court Hotel (Tallaght), Maldron Hotel (Tallaght), Plaza Hotel (Tallaght), Dundrum House Hotel (Main Street);
·         SKYBus will have an offical website where all internet users will have a chance to review the information with regard to: the detailed timetable, stops served, book a ticket online or a private coach as well as reserach special offers provided by the company.

Price
·         The ticket fares will differ depending on the stop at which passenger will hop into the bus. For example those travelling from the first stop (Dundrum Centre) the fee charge will be €8, where the ticket price will reduce to €7.50 for the passengers hopping in Tallaght. €7 and €6 will be for Clondalkin and Liffey Valley stop respectively. The ticket fares will also differ depending on the age of the passenger (for a detailed price list refer to appendix VI.C)
·         SKYBus intends to provide discount bundles to the frequent users or groups. For example the 10 travels within a month will cost €45, where the family offer (up to 2 adults and 4 children) for one ride will be €20
·         Unlike Airport Hopper that offers only €8 and €6 fare charge for the adult (depending on the bus stop location), SKYBus broke the ticket price further on (€8, €7.50, €7 and €6). The family package offered by SKYBus is €20, where Airport Hopper charges the family for €29. If to compare the fares with taxi, SKYBus charges three/four times less for transportation services than any taxi vehicle (depending on the taxi station location).

Promotion
·         In order to introduce the company to the public SKYBus will be advertised by Advertising agency using such technique as press publishing, for instance ads in the most popular local newspapers. Also it is considered to publish brochures and spread around the democratic area of interest to the business so the message could reach the domestic households as well as organizational estates.
·         To increase the sales SKYBus will cooperate with the hotels and Dublin Airport. Also it will be considered to involve such advertising technique as TV commercial in order to raise awareness of our transporting services operating within the Dublin areas.
·         SKYBus is the seasonally dependent business. For example summer is expected to be a most profitable time of the year as many people travel to the airport for summer holidays flights. The number of passengers per day will also depend on the holidays periods, such as Easter and Christmas (when many foreign workers travel back to their home countries), other national holidays such as St Patrick Day (when many travel to Ireland in order to attend the St. Patrick Parade) or sport events.

2. Marketing Strategy
According to classification based on market dominance SKYBus will take lace of Challenger in the market, because SKYBus enters the existing market with a direct competitor - Airport Hopper and indirect such as Night Link and Taxi. All three competitors mentioned above provide services either for an expensive fare or serving some particular areas of Dublin.  SKYBus will concentrate on weaknesses of our opponents in the market, for instance such as a high price, inadequate service, quality and flexibility.
SKYBus will offer the competitive and cheap prices, reliable and frequent service, expand the perimeter of service market to Dundrum as well provide a night service. 
The below is a list of market strategies on which SKYBus intends concentrate its attention in order to achieve recognition as well as popularity among its users:
·         Improved service strategy;
·         Intense advertising strategy;
·         Cheaper service strategy.

3. Methods of Distribution
SKYBus intends to sell its services to its users by using both methods of distribution: direct and indirect channels.

Indirect Distribution:
Hotels and Dublin Airport appear to be the representatives of an indirect market channel, where their customers become our users. It is hoped that contract agreements with both leading customers as well as spreading of leaflets and brochures on SKYBus services at the hotels and airport registration desks will attract attention of potential users.

Direct Distribution:
Individuals hopping into the busses at the bus stops will become the representatives of the direct distribution channel. It is expected that delivering a qualitative service our business will raise a popularity rate through a "word of mouth".

4. Quality Policy
It is the policy of SKYBus Ltd, to provide its customers with a high quality service. The overall policy of the company is to provide the people, organization and resources to supply our customers with the products and services that satisfy their requirement in every respect. Furthermore it is SKYBus Ltd policy to continually improve our quality by monitoring, measuring and enhancing our Quality and Procedure System.
Implementation of the Quality Policy is the responsibility of every member of staff, starting with the Owner, who makes policy decisions which enable the correct action to be implemented throughout the organization. The owner who also acts as the Quality Manager is responsible for maintaining the implementation of the Quality Policy. The Quality Manager controls and monitors those activities in a manner compatible with achieving required service levels and obligations effectively. It is mandatory that all staff adhere to the procedures in order to achieve a consistent

The management will ensure that the quality policy:
·      Is appropriate to the organization;
·      Provides a basis for establishing and quality objectives;
·      Includes a commitment to requirements and continual improvement;
·      Is communicated and understood within the organization;
·      Is periodically reviewed for suitability;

5. Customer Service Policy

Our goal is to achieve a complete satisfaction of every customer that uses the services of SKYBus. And to achieve this we are committed to our Customer Care Policy for all jobs regardless of size:

SKYBUS, LTD.BUSINESS FEASIBILITY PLAN.PartVI.Section 5


FINANCIAL PLANNING
1. Sources Of Finance
As it was already outlined in section III, to obtain the proposed business it is required to have an access to approximately €110,000 to run SKYBus for the first three months.

Internals recourses
The owner of the proposed business currently holds a saving account with €30,000 on it and he intends to use this money as a help of starting SKYBus, Ltd.
The parents of the owner also decided to support the potential business and hence made a contribution of €30,000.

External resources
The proprietor of SKYBus is currently unemployed and hence there is no additional income that could be used for investing the proposed business. However there are two strategic plans as a result if which SKYBus can get a second half of finances for investing the start-up of its business.

Plan A
According to Department of Social Protection the owner can have the Short-Term Enterprise Allowance (STEA). In order to be eligible for this governmental support the owner must be:
·    Be getting/have an entitlement to Jobseeker’s Benefit
·    Have 104 paid PRSI contributions.
(Note: The owner has a hold of both mentioned above)
However in order to receive a permit for this support scheme SKYBus will have to be approved in advance in writing by a Job Facilitator based in Social Welfare Local Office. SKYBus may also get extra support under this scheme (if granted), for example grants for training, market research, business plan and access plan to buy equipment (www.welfare.ie)

Plan B
If SKYBus is not granted with STEA the owner will seek a loan of €50,000 from Allied Irish Bank. The bank offers a special scheme for start-up business where an “unemployed” status of employer is not an obstacle.
Once the business plan is approved to be successful, AIB gives SME Loan, which specifically caters for the needs of the young or just starting up company. SKYBus will seek €25,000 over 3 years term (3 years – subject of normal lending criteria) at the highly competitive rate of 4.40% p.a. (Refer to Appendix V.A)

2. Financial Forecast
Set-up costs
The first month will be used to set up the business. It is unlikely any business will be officially transacted. In addition to dealing with legal and accounting issues for the business, office equipment will be purchased and set up.
Once the physical office is ready we will then develop the employee policy and procedure manual. Then we will develop our training program. This will take a bit of time therefore it is very important it is set up at the beginning, ensuring that it is completed and done properly when there are far less time constraints. ( for more detailed set up costs refer to appendix V.B)

Profit & Loss
SKYBus intends to start operating in March of 2013. It is expected to have a profitable income due to the seasonal demands as many passengers start travelling at this time of the year (presence of many spring holidays: Easter, Sport events, St. Patrick, etc). The second month will be active. We will begin to field inquiries over the phone and expect to turn some of those into contracts (Co-operation with Hotels, Dublin Airport, etc). It is expected that the number of passengers using the services of SKYBus will grow up at the end of the second month.
By the end of the forth month the company expects to reduce the loss rate and make the business profitable (for a detailed Profit & Loss statement refer to appendix V.C)
The sales forecast is based on the assumption that increased demand will occur at a steady pace. This is based on the assumption that a large part for our new passengers after month two will be from word of mouth referrals. The logic is that we will gain passengers as we continue to serve current passenger. It is expected that this will happen steadily and incrementally.
Generally, it is expected to have at least one passenger per ride (during the first month of operation). After that it is believed that as a result of “word of mouth referrals” and a help of advertising agency the number of passengers will double, reaching 2400 passengers every month (depending on the number of days in one month). Following that, the growth people using our services should increase steadily. The year 2 is expected to show an increase in sales also, as well as year 3.
Note: The forecast is approximate; it is possible SKYBus will not reach the expectations due to a further economic downtime or some unexpected factors that might have a negative impact onto SKYBus developing business.



Cash Flow
The total repeating costs as it was outlined before is approximately €25,000. During the first month our business will have no profit as it will be used to set up the business. The vehicles are expected to start operating during month two. Having at least one passenger per ride (40 passengers per day), the monthly income will constitute €9,600 (where the ticket fee is €8 for adult).
The steady growth rate is expected to be seen during the month 2 and from that on. By the end of the month 5, where the number of passengers will reach 3,600, SKYBus business is expected to be in a profit of around €3,000 (for the detailed cash flow chart, refer to Appendix V.D)

Balance Sheet & Break Even Analysis
At the point of starting up the business, SKYBus is in a possession of €60,000 where €30,000 is the personal savings of the owner of the potential business and the second half is an investment of the owner's parents. The long-term liabilities, such as the bank loan, are €50,000.
The capital required to establish the business is €55,838. In order to run the proposed business it is required to have an access to approximately €25,000 per month. And also the business should be in a possession of at least €5,000 in cash for unexpected expenses (for detailed balance sheet refer to appendix V.E)
The break even analysis is based on an average monthly fixed costs of approximately €23,500. By establishing our ticket price of €8, we need only 3,600 rides per month to break even. During the summer months as well as holidays we expect to surpass the number of rides three times as much (Appendix V.F).
