Slide 1:
Melur Neoh, Sarah Chia, and Amal Said together came up with the idea of opening a
company named Bacarca that offers three different services – barbershop, coffee shop, and
carwash service. The idea behind their thought is to save time of the people as they can get
two services in a same place. Also, people do not have to wait for their cars to be washed and
could get in the coffee shop to have a bite. They decided to start their entrepreneurship at
Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur.
Neoh and Chia used to work at a coffee chain and restaurant respectively in
managerial posts. They decided to use their experience to open their own entrepreneur
company. Along with car washing service, Bacarca also offers various car accessories such as
car cover, cleaning clothes, air freshener, GPS navigator, seat cover, tire inflator, floor mat,
and puncture repair kit. Neoh and Chia personally decided the menu for the coffee shop,
which includes a variety of coffees along with a range of snacks. The workers in the
barbershop are properly trained and skilled to provide the customers with their every kind of
demands.

Slide 2:
The mission of the company is to create a novel sustainable business in this age of
globalisation. As an entrepreneur company, Bacarca has the objective to double its customer
base in a year. With strong marketing plan and strategies, it aims to build a brand name. The
company wishes to employ a Human Resource team that is competent to manage the process
of employee hiring, staffing, training, and maintain healthy relationship and effective
communication with the employees.
The company aims to provide the customers quality services and products through the
use of latest technologies. In order to build a positive reputation, the company understands
the importance of customer satisfaction. That is why their primary object is to fulfil the
demands of the customers with quality and personalised products and services.
Building a strong relation with customers as well as the suppliers is a significant
objective of the Bacarca. With their success, the three entrepreneurs expect to inspire the
coming generation to be innovative and imaginative. The objective of the company is to
increase its value in the market in a year to gain more investors and shareholders.

Slide 3:
Ownership: The organization will be owned and operated by Coffeshop Ltd that will be
completely owned by a single owner. The company will be trading for three years with an
estimated average of 10% of turnover growth over the duration of three years.
Suppliers: The 3 in one business will have four major suppliers that will be responsible for
supplying all their consumables. One of the supplier will be based on the production of
coffee, another will be based providing car wash supplies and another supplier will be
providing barber service (Burns, 2016).
Legal structure: The organization will be have a legal position for a period of 10 years. In
this they will be required to pay a premium of $21,000 that will be amortized over the period
of legal terms. The rent review will be over when the existing legal terms gets over. The
terms for the coffee shop and care wash supplies will be present with the same vendor and
owing to the existing relationships and the existing market condition there will be no legal
premium payable for the barber site. Apart from these and proposed; legal terms there will be
no legal commitments.

Slide 4:
Political: While political stability of a country provides opportunities for a business to grow,
political crisis creates obstacle for business to develop. Malaysia is currently facing a political
unstable situation which is effecting both existing and start-up enterprises (Din et al. 2016).
Economic: The economic factor of a country has a huge influence on the success of any
business in that country. The recent economic growth in Malaysia indicates that there is a
scope for new businesses in the country.
Social: As the customers are one of the most essential element in any business, the culture,
norms and preferences of the societies are significant. The carwash business is a highly
profitable business, and coffee industry has its own stable market already. The barbershops
are also trending in the business world.
Technological: With the increasing rate of technological inventions, it is important for every
business to have advanced technological tools. In order to satisfy various demands of the
customers, the café should be equipped with newly invented machineries. The barbershop
also needs to have the modern tools to satisfy the customers. The task of carwash, on the
other hand, does not have much demand to be technologically developed.

Environmental: Environmentally sustainable business is a crucial issue in the context of 21st
century world. Therefore, reusable and greener materials and reuse of water should be a focus
of the new business (Ahmad et al. 2014).
Legal: When the laws and regulations of a country put emphasis on the growth of businesses,
it helps new businesses to grow. The regulations and acts of Malaysia are in favour with
entrepreneurships.
Slide 5
Introduction Stage: The introduction stage of an industry is the early phase of that industry.
This stage includes the development of the business and the marketing of the entrepreneurial
idea of that business. It is usual in this stage to gain low profit. As an entrepreneurial concept,
the 3-in-1 business gained popularity in a moderate pace.
Growth: The second stage is the growth stage, where the consumers acknowledge the
advantages of the industry and its products and services. In this stage, the priority is the
marketing and research, rather than profit. The 3-in-1 industry in this stage had been able to
maintain a satisfactory level of profits and successful marketing (Abdullah et al. 2018).

Maturity: In the maturity stage, the rate of growth slows down and the focus of the business
shifts to reducing expenditures. The competition increases, and thus, cash flow and market
become more crucial. This industry has been experiencing new entrances. Hence, the market
competition is likely to increase in the future.
Decline: The stage, where an industry reaches its limit of growth, is called the decline stage.
In this stage, competitive advantage becomes extremely important as weak competitors are
forced to leave the industry. With innovative products and developed services, the 3-in-1
industry could delay this stage.
Slide 6
Industry Rivalry: Carwash is a popular service in Malaysia, therefore in has numerous
existing rivals. International coffee and food chains such as McDonald’s and Starbucks have
multiple shops all over the country. The local specialised barbershops deliver better services.
New Market Entrants: The carwash industry has the advantage of smaller investment and
larger profit. Therefore, new shops providing this service are opening in a steady rate. Coffee
shops are seen at every corner of the road and more are opening day by day. It is a strong

industry and thus, there would always be the threat of potential new entrants. As a growing
industry, barbershops possess threats of potential market entrants (Munoz et al. 2015).
Substitution: Specialised barbershops and coffee shops that offer a range of quality products
and services could replace the service of the company. Consumers are opting healthier drinks.
Thus, fruit juices could replace the habit of coffee consumption.
Bargaining Power of the Buyers: As an entrepreneur company, Bacarca has less bargaining
powers than the buyers (Rahim et al. 2015).
Bargaining Power of the Suppliers: While for the coffee service the company has to
heavily rely on suppliers, the carwash and barber service do not require much supplies.
Therefore, the company has advantage of the bargaining power with the suppliers.
Slide 7
Strengths: The Company is offering three services – barbershop, coffee shop, and carwash
service - in the same place. It has the advantage of low investment. Skilled employees in all
the three services help the company to build positive reputation (Terano et al. 2015).
Weaknesses: Limitation in financial resources is a risk for the company. The managerial
skills of the executives are a potential weakness of the company. In this age of online
services, Bacarca is limited to physical shops only.

Opportunities: The economic growth of the country provides opportunity to the company to
establish a successful business. The consumer trend to prefer shops that has environmentally
sustainable business products and services. The habit of the customer to go for shops that
offers multiple services under a same roof.
Threats: There are multiple specialised foreign competitors. The political instability of the
country creates risks for the company. The changing trend of customer choices and their
bargaining power are threats to the success of the company (Salim et al. 2015).
Slide 8
The organization will be located at Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, one of
the busiest place in the nation and therefore has a scope to attract huge masses of customers.
This will be an excellent position as there are plenty of tourists and shoppers that visit that
place every day. All the three service will be provided in the same location that will be short
distance from the main food area.
The location will be decorated like a common run of the mill roadside coffee shop
with theme followed through all of the three services. This familiar theme will be used
exactly for all the locations it plans to open its business (Noor et al. 2018).

The coffee shop will be open all 24 hours for the satisfaction and flexibility of the
visitors. Car wash facilities will be available from 5.30 am to 11.30 pm. The barber shop will
be open from am to 10 pm.
The business is estimated to provide all of the three services in the market with almost
100 million industry in the Malaysian shopping malls situated in that area, with an estimated
increase in revenue outgrowing 10% annually. Being a 3 in one coffee shop, salon and car
wash services they will be offering the best food and other services with an opportunities
more than 500,000 visitors in that location thereby outgrowing the competition in the market.
Slide 9
The scope of potential customers is high as the company offers three shops, therefore,
influencing three distinctive potential customer bases. It is observed that the coffee shops
have the potential of growing a regular customer base (Stratton and Werner 2013). Since
there is a coffee shop available, the company have a potential to attract various age group of
customers. Teenagers belonging to the age group of 15 to 19 years are one of the key
potential customers that can form a regular customer base for the company. Adding to this,
the customers belonging to age group 20 to 25 years can also form a regular customer base
for the company that have the probability of visiting the coffee shop regularly. The age group

ranging from 26 to 50 belong to the working class group that have a high chances of owning
a car. Therefore these customers can be attracted towards the carwash shop as well. In
addition to this, customers waiting for the carwash services can spend a quality time at the
coffee shop as well. This shall work in favour of the company as the customers have the
option of satisfying two needs simultaneously since it offers three services at the same roof.
The barber shop that the company offers have a traditional vibe to it and therefore, this could
attract the senior aged customers ranging from the age group 51 to 60 years.
The location of the shop is in a highly favourable business location where thousands
of shoppers visit the place every day. Therefore, the key potential customers are the everyday
shoppers that visit the area (Simpong et al. 2018). Apart from this, the employees of the malls
that are situated in the busy area of Bukit Bintang could be targeted to be the regular
customers of the shop that the company can attract. Therefore, the company with its
favourable location have high chances of growing a regular potential customer base.
