Risk Analysis
| Type | Risk | Sevirity | Counter Strategy | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Security | Insecurity |

It is not that much harsh risk but still to be ready for any kind of threats, we will select our office in a safer location of the city. | |||||||||
| Operational | Not finding raw materials |
|
Since we are dealing with inputs (raw materials), not being able to find raw materials at the time of the production at an affordable price, would be another risk for us. To counter this, we will utilize our network outside of the country, to procure enough raw materials. |

Investment Management
investment terms
As an important part of the investment deal, we know the significance of having clear terms and conditions. Along with other importance, having concise investment terms and conditions will help us to prevent any possible confusion and conflict between us and the potential investors in the future. For this reason, we are emphasizing much on sharing the investment terms and conditions with the potential investors and agreeing upon them.
As a normal practice, the investor who wants to invest in a business is accepting to receive a portion of the company's profit in compensation of the investment amount. If the potential investor would agree with this, we are really comfortable practicing this term.
Investment managment plan
For us managing an investment amount, has become a normal practice since we are ding with it for the past years. From our understanding throughout the process, we know the importance of well-managing an investment. From the investor perspective, it really important that how an entrepreneur is managing the investment amount for generating revenue and profit for himself and the investor. To do this, we will definitely utilize our experience in this field of work. Our knowledge, skills, tips, techniques, and professional experience would help us in well managing the investment amount. We are assuring the investor that we have the capacity to manage the investment amount in its best possible way for profit generation.
Breakdown the costs
Being in the entrepreneurship community for a long period of time, we know the importance of investment amount breakdown. Most of the investors are willing to see how the entrepreneur would expense the investment amount, and how logical is the investment amount cost breakdown. Knowing this, we would have the following investment amount breakdown for our business:
- Office establishment: Using an important portion of the investment amount, we will rent a building for our physical presence since it would further enhance our work and trust in the market.
- Marketing and promotion: For us, it is really important to reach different segments of the community and make them aware of our product.
