new equipment, agile with employees and low running cost. The employment of
part-time workers will allow us to adjust to more enlarge services and output in
short term as required.
Weakness: A 30 – day credit services requisite on our products will be necessary
to gain clients, but cash purchase of equipments and machine means that the

inflow of population into the locality where the enterprise is based due to the
establishment of the tertiary institution.
Threats: there are other perfume producers within the environments, therefore
the competitive spirit is very high as well as the request for lower prices which
may affect the profitable ability of the business
