EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Market
Healthy life is the top issue that people focus on. More and more people go to gym when they have leisure time. Using professional facilities or wearing professional sports clothes to do sports have been accepted by lots of people.
To reduce the cost and to gain more opportunities of sales are the two main important tasks facing anyone who runs the new business. With the development of combining the real shop and E-shop, the new style of business is becoming more and more popular for the retailers.
So the Sports Bicycle Items Shop can meet the requirements of the market. Because cycling is one of the easiest sports when we do in our daily life, bicycle components manufacturers and professional sports clothes suppliers already change their sales policy from just offering products for sportsmen to the open public. The products design, materials’ choosing and after-sales service
should meet the needs of the general public.
The Company
The Sports Bicycle Items Shop project is to offer the products for people who love outdoors sports. The shop will market and sell selected bicycles, matching cycling items such as: hats, T-shirts, sports pants, shoes, bags and other products for the cycling. It is an amazing place for people who love cycling, like to catch up dressing fashion, and always want to present their individual personality. The shop also offers an opportunity for the people who would like to share their outdoor sport experience with others.
Financial Considerations
The total cost needed to start up this business would add up to RMB 21,660, since we will adapt the policy of lower inventory which makes us possible to lower the expenses and risks greatly. Moreover, we can increase sales at a high rate without increasing the operating expenses. This is because of the leverage available in use of Internet technology as our expanding marketing and sales channel.
Premises
The shop located close to the new sports gymnasium that will be used for the football matches of

Introduction
The Company
The Sports Bicycle Items Shop project is to offer the products for people who love outdoor sports. The shop will market and sell selected bicycles, matching cycling items such as hats, T-shirts, sports pants, shoes, bags and other products that for cycling. It is an amazing place for people who love cycling sports, like to catch up dressing fashion, and always want to present their individual personality. The shop also offers an opportunity for the people who like to share their outdoor sports’ experience with others.
Products and Services
The shop will offer a steadily increasing mix of three lines of products:
, Clothes: selected clothes, hats, shoes, and etc. based on the seasonal changing that appeal
to the target market, the parents of the target market.
, Fittings for Bicycles: there should be a selection of handlebars, seats, frames, pedals, drive
chains, etc. that appeal specifically to the target market, so that these adults can go to the
shop and order items for themselves or their children. In addition, of course there is also a
selection of sports magazines to be ordered by and for the people to read. , Bicycles: carefully selected Bicycles to appeal to the target market and target guests. At the same time, we offer reservation service for the guests who have D.I.Y dirt bicycles, clothes, and other items.
Financial Considerations
Our human resources cost are not as high as they might be - particularly for the talented programmers that we need. (Since most of the limited companies hire one or two shop staff to serve to the guests, thus reduce the starting cost of this proposal.)
Marketing expenses are relatively high, since without promoting it appropriately would make it difficult to gather together the traffic necessary to make this a success.
The sales forecast is based on the guests’ selections and booking increasing, and seasonal
changing.
More information is available in details in the following context.

Risk Analysis
Before putting this plan into practice, the management thinks the following problems might affect
the successful completion of the project. These problems generally fall into three categories.
第 , 页 共 18 页
Business proposal—Sports Bicycle Items Shop
, People-related:
, The shop assistant may not have good selling skills at all.
, People in local market might not be familiar with the products or the brands. And they will have not blurry concept about cycling.
,Time-related:
, All the products connect closely with the seasons.
, The reservations of E-shop may be affected by the internet. And if the real shop is short of products for the E-shop booking, it will need time to ask the manufacturers to send immediately.
,Product –related:
, Lots of customers think online deliveries may not be received as ordered. , Products may be damaged on the multilayered process of shipping and handling. , The contents and products of the shop or E-shop may not cater to the interests of the customers or visitors.
, The inventory is not easy to manage at beginning.
The management should control these possible risks in the advance, and they already thought out some solutions for managing the risks effectively.
, Give the shop associates more selling skills training, and let them get more professional knowledge of the products that could introduce to customers and improve the popularity of the items based on market research among target customers.
, Create more special selling ideas to catch up the seasonal affection. For example: Carry out special discount for opposite season’s products sales to decrease the inventory.
, Keep good communication with customers who prefer to buy things on E-shop, and give more detail information about how to measure the suitable size themselves. And double check the receiving addresses with every customer who does the reservation online.
, Use correct way to packing the items that avoid damaging them on the delivery way.
