Opportunity analysis and research
Explanation relating to selection of chosen market
The chosen market selected for the business idea is the retail sector that is the store where
all the organic products will be provided. In the present competitive market, the trend among the
people is towards using the organic products. This is particularly because of the reason that in
this modern environment people have become more conscious relating to their appearance,
eating habits and many other aspects. Hence, this was the only reason behind opening an organic
supermarket wherein the person will get each and every product relating to their daily need under
one roof. Whether be it products relating to food, health, fashion, beauty products or any other
aspect.
Industry analysis
Before opening the business, it is very essential for GO HEALTHY to evaluate the
industry working before entering within the operation. This is essential because of the reason that
in case the industry working is not good then it will not be beneficial for the business to enter.
Hence, for this the use of Porter five force model is being undertaken.
Element Description
Threat of new entrant In the retail sector the threat of new entrant is
low as there are many requirements for
entering within the industry (Chesula and
Kiriinya, 2018). This is pertaining to the fact
that when a person enters in the retail industry
then there are many steps which they need to
conduct and as a result of this, new people are
less in number to enter within this industry.
Threat of substitute Along with new entrant, the threat of substitute

is also low. The reason behind this fact is that
there is less product which can replace the use
of organic and healthy product.
Bargaining power of consumer In addition, to this, the bargaining power of the
consumer is high. this is particularly because of
the reason that all the working of the business
is done with aim of attracting consumers.
Hence, in case the consumer will not be happy
then this will be impacting the working of the
business.
Bargaining power of supplier Without the supply the company cannot
operate and within the area of business there
are large number of suppliers. Thus, the
bargaining power of supplier is less as in case
one supplier will not be providing good rates
than other one can be approached.
Competitive rivalry The competitive rivalry within the retail
industry is very high and this may affect the
business of GO HEALTHY (Melina and
Berliana, 2021). The competitive rivalry is
very high and this may affect the business and
GO HEALTHY need to work in much harder
manner.
Environmental analysis
Along with the industry, it is also very important for the business that they must evaluate
the environment as well. this is pertaining to the fact that the environment is very dynamic and
there can be many different changes taking place in the external environment. Hence, some of
the external factors which need to be considered by GO HEALTHY are as follows-
Element Description
Political This factor involves changes taking place in

government working and regulations.
Currently with respect of COVID 19,
government is providing some of the
subsidises to the new business and this is an
opportunity for GO HEALTHY.
Economic Currently the purchasing power of the
consumer is increasing and they are moving
towards purchasing of good quality product
and upgrading their standard of living (Perera,
2017). Thus, the opening of retail supermarket
will definitely be an opportunity to the
company to grow and develop.
Social The social factor involved the changes taking
place within the trends and attitude of the
people towards the product or the service. In
the current modern world, the consumers are
being attracted towards the use of healthy and
organic product. Hence because of this it will
be a great business opportunity for GO
HEALTHY to run the business.
Technological There are different types of technological
advancements been taking place within the
external environment. And it is very essential
for GO HEALTHY to evaluate all the different
types of technology in order to improve the
operations and processes of the company
(Nandonde, 2019). hence when go healthy will
undertake and implement all the different
technologies within these operations then the
product and services will be good and
effective.

use of penetration pricing
because they want to capture
the market.
On the other hand, Planet
Organic undertakes the use of
competitive pricing strategy
and by analysing the prices of
other competitors.

use of combination of modern
and traditional marketing
strategies.
Whereas Planet Organic only
undertakes the use of the
modern marketing techniques
only .
Marketing strategy and plan
 Product- The product is being defined as the bundle of satisfaction which is being
provided by the company. In the present case of go healthy the product range includes a
wide variety of organic food products and healthy supplements along with the organic
beauty products fashion apparels footwear and all the product necessary for person in
their daily needs (Al Badi, 2018). All these products involve organic and healthy
products which will not harm the person or the environment.
 Pricing- The pricing is being defined as theme amount of money which is being charged
by the company against which the product or services is being provided to the consumers.
it is very crucial for go healthy to decide for the effective prices so that the company
earns good amount of profit (Thabit and Raewf, 2018). Thus in order to provide the
product and services of go healthy to the customers the company will charge the prices
on the basis of penetration pricing. This pricing strategy is being selected by the company
because it will assist them in penetrating within the market with lower prices and attract
the attention of the consumers. This pricing strategy will assist go healthy in attracting
large number of customers and then slightly increased the prices of the product.
 Promotion- the promotion is the most essential aspect of working within the external
environment. The reason and the length is factors that in case the promotion of goods and

services will not be good and effective than this will not attract consumers. For the
promotion of the goods and services of go healthy the use of combination of traditional
and modern marketing techniques will be undertaken (Lim, 2021). Under the modern
marketing technique, the use of social media will be undertaken. On the other hand,
within the traditional marketing methods the use of sales promotion and discount offers
will be used. The combination of both these methods is being used in order to attract
large number of customers so that more profits can be earned.
 Place- The place is an essential aspect which needs to be evaluated before setting up the
business. The reason behind this fact is that in case the place of the operation will not be
easier and approachable by the consumers in the profits of the business will be affected
(Mahmoud, 2018). Hence in order to promote and provide the goods and services to the
customers the use of both physical and online place will be undertaken. For the physical
presence the physical stores will be set up in the areas nearby and the online website will
also be available to the consumers to order the products.

that proper and enough capital is present for the running and operations of the business. there can
be various sources through which the capital can be arranged (Ali and Khalid, 2019). This is very
important to select the best source of capital as each and every source carries some or the other
cost of borrowing the money from that source. The sources from which the owner of GO
HEALTHY collected the money are as follows-
 Personal saving- this is the source from which owner brought a part of money. This is the
money which is owned by the person and they want to use the money within the business.
this is the source of capital which does not include any of the cost.
 Bank loan- this is another source from which the owner can also arrange for the business.
Under this source the owner will take a loan from the bank and this can be both secured
and unsecured. This is a good source of arranging capital as under this the company gets
large amount of money and for that they need to pay some interest. This is a good source
of capital as here the company can get the money as and when needed.
 Equity- this is another source of finance through which company can gather the capital.
Under this the company can sell its shares within the primary market in order to attract
the people to buy the shares. This in turn will arrange for the finance for running and
operating the business in better and effective manner (Amornkitvikai and Harvie, 2018).
The cost of arranging the money from equity source is that they will have to pay for
dividend to the shareholders.
Further, the capital being collected is used for undertaking the different operational
activities for running the business. all the expenses of running the business is being done with the
help of the capital brought in by the owner only. Hence, this capital is being applied within the
conducting of the different types of the business activities in better and effective manner.
