III. Market Analysis and Competition

Tables and desks are examples of furniture that are used to hold objects at a convenient

working height or to store things (e.g., cupboards, drawers, cabinets, and shelves). Furniture is

seen as a form of ornamental art and can be a design product. The most common material used

to make furniture is wood, which is also the most adaptable, sustainable, and renewable

resource on the earth. Ajiw Furnitures focuses on creating furniture that is reliable, cozy,

effective, and cost-effective for our clients. Our ideal customer is someone who want extremely

high-end furniture with modern technologies and a traditional appreciation for exquisite woods

and fine crafting. Due to this, our target markets for this business are the building owners such

as restaurants, apartments, hotels, offices, and the people who are currently building their own

homes.

A furniture piece is a necessity in every interior design. It can be challenging to select

furniture that will properly fit your home because there are so many different furniture styles

to consider. Your house gets more charm, and the room gets better. The most important

components of home interior design are the furniture's beauty and portability. The house

becomes more important and useful as a result. Furniture not only makes a house or office look

better, but it also offers the best comfort for sleeping and relaxing.

Building and remodeling projects are part of a constant stream of change and

innovation, therefore revenues and returns are unavoidable. This company endeavor might be

successful because there is a big market for these products in this sector and neighborhood. A

more affordable and ample supply will boost the economy by satisfying demand and ensuring

P a g e 3 | 10
that there is an adequate supply, while a further decline in demand will ensure that customers

will continue to support the company.

While those who only need one or require replacements will gain from lesser numbers,

other infrastructure and building owners will benefit from bulk sales because this is for the

innovation of their area. There is no issue when compared to current rivals who may or may

not be employing this tactic because they all share the same goal: providing comfort and safety.

 IV. Sales and Marketing Plan/Analysis

Utilize adaptable furniture that provides all the comforts and conveniences of home to

create beautiful living spaces. You have more alternatives than ever with residential living

furniture from Ajiw Furnitures, which is composed of distinctive elements that work together to

create the ideal ambiance for each particular area. Ajiw Furnitures will provide mattresses, chairs,

tables, desks, benches, cabinets, drawers, cupboards, and shelves made of wood for the bedroom,

living and dining room, and storage area.

The retailer's costing system will be used initially by Ajiw Furnitures to provide precise

advertising estimates. Low cost is one of the most crucial reasons for clients to purchase at a helpful

equipment store location because it may be a country store. To determine the most effective

method of billing the goods, Ajiw Furnitures will consult with merchants.

Ajiw Furnitures is located at Dullagan, Lagawe, Ifugao. A downtown that attracts visitors

from across Lagawe, as well as nearby cities and provinces like as Lamut, Kiangan, Asipulo, and

Bagabag, Nueva Vizcaya. Because it is for all the furnishings in a house, all the products are priced

wholesale. A house does not have only one area. When it is purchased for a single piece of

furniture, the retail price is applied.

Anyone who owns a home or other infrastructure could be a potential customer for the

furniture company. A trade site, mailer, and social media campaign would be sufficient to inform

customers about Ajiw Furnitures and its products and pique their interest. Deals and packages may

help shoppers feel more empowered.

V. Ownership and Management Plan

i. Ownership Structure

The business is run by a single person. A sole proprietorship, often referred to as

individual entrepreneurship, is a type of business that is owned and run by a single person

and in which there is no legal separation between the owner and the business organization.

ii. Management Plan and Team

The business' manufacturing plan consists of a production staff that works eight

hours a day to produce furniture and fittings. The company will have 10 full-time artisans

and furniture designers who are responsible for consultancy and fixture design.

iii. External Resources and Services

The business will have a dedicated accountant who will be responsible for

preparing tax returns and accounts, managing income and expenses, auditing financial

information, and assembling and presenting reports, budgets, business plans, comments,

and financial statements. Monitoring and producing financial records for businesses is the

main duty of an accountant. They make sure that the business they work for accurately

and on time pays its taxes. For a business to operate effectively, an accountant is essential.

Without them, financial records and reports can be shoddy, inaccurate, and dishonest.

will each receive 450 each day.

VI. Operating Plan

i. Production

Furniture can also be used to store things or hold them at a convenient working

height. Furniture can be a creation of design and is a form of ornamental art. Furniture is

made by cutting, bending, molding, laminating, and assembling materials like wood, metal,

glass, polymers, and rattan. There are several different methods for creating furniture, such

as extruding and molding polymers, cutting and shaping wood, and bending metal. It has

not yet been decided because the quantity depends on the size. The longer work will take a

long time to finish.

ii. Facilities

The business will not only have a physical location, but it will also have a

manufacturing plant of its own. An industrial building is placed far from the commercial

area since it is a factory, preventing it from adding extra pollutants to the commercial area.

Large aisles, tall ceilings, and lots of open space will characterize the store's layout, which

is similar to a depot.

iii. Staffing

Numerous individuals will be employed by the business, including full-time

artisans who will oversee providing advice and making furniture at the production plant.

The production teams will then work in the office full-time as designers after that.

iv. Equipment

P a g e 9 | 10
 Since equipment must be durable assets that are used to produce other goods and

services, it will either be an American import or a British component.

v. Supplies

To make them more readily available and easier to transport than those made by

multinational brands, as well as to support our local brands, raw materials including wood,

cane, metal, leather, and fabrics will be purchased within Ifugao.
