Cash flow planning

Analysis of cost

Internal and cash control

·         Internet café services – customer buy airtime ticket from cashier before proceeding to browsing hall.

·         For other services (web hosting, Graphic Design, IT consulting & commercial printing) – Customers will obtain bills for any of the services from staff providing the service, pay the bills with the cashier and return to the person providing the service for the services to be rendered.

By the end of each day’s business, each sector manager will report the total billing of services offered from his sector for the day to the General Manager. On his part the cashier will also bring the total receipt paid for the day. This will represent the total billing from all the sectors for that day.

Training

We offer IT services therefore we will engage IT experts to train our essential IT staff.

Competitors

My strongest competitors are Abti ventures, City Cyber Café and First Class Computer. They are all in very good location and they have high rating from customers, but they offer only internet café services, scanning and photocopying. Hamman Yero Printing Press and a few others are my competitor for the Commercial Printing. They are still using the old fashion printing equipments, I intend to go Digital. All these competitors don’t have any serious e-commerce plans for now.

I intend to combine some of the IT services they offer like the IT consulting, Commercial printing and internet café services, so that customers don’t have to go different places for similar services.

Growth program (expansion)

We are offering IT and IT support Services for now, we intend to go into sales of selected IT Gadgets base on survey of our customers demand.

As the business grows we intend to increase the capacity of our sector managers by increasing the number of our outlets and increasing the work force under their control.
