businesses are utilising high amount of electricity in their reproduction process. So, these
corporate businesses can be potential and most profitable targets for the business idea. While
targetting a wider scope of markets can be operated through targeting the all houses electricity

promotion, advertisement, TV ad and social networking sites, emails, newsletters.
The customers wants related with the business offering is that the electricity should be
provided with the cheaper rate. Also the electricity should be provided with lower level of
fluctuation in voltage in order to receive a safe and secure connection in home and corporates.
All these needs can be accessed through advertising the various reviews and feedback on social
networking sites. The response of the customers also addressed through consulting with the
experts in markets or this can be done through developing an on market research and carrying
out a survey to get consumers response towards firm offering and products (Suddaby, Bruton
and Si, 2015).
The business is working with high profit margin as the company collecting cheap
resources from the suppliers as raw material in collecting waste and providing electricity. So, the
business can provide electricity at cheaper prices to the customers. Also the lower fluctuation in
