1.1 Objectives
The company's objective is to build quality, multi-service POS that entails a plants nursery,
pet shop (birds, dogs, cats etc.), tuck shop/food court. We will initiate this project to
acquire the approval of the predominantly Islamabad community which it serves & QAU
because our park project in phase 2 is of greater magnitude in terms of development, land
and investment.
The company believes that by entering the marketplace first and by establishing quality, it
will become, and remain, a leader.
Our fundamental objective is to realize how we impact the community that we do business
in, knowing that we will stand the test of time if the local residents approve and support our
business.
1.2 Mission
Leonx Markʼs sole purpose is to establish a profitable and well managed company while at
the same time creating an atmosphere of awareness and recreation for the entire family,
with activities designed to please the local residents, as well as the substantial tourist base
of the Islamabad - Murree Road.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2. Company Overview
We are backed by our parent companies Chishty Brothers and Shaheen Associates
that are well-reputed architecture and construction, development companies.
For Phase 1 the Start-up table reflects the cost of the project, activities and 3 +/- acres.
All Construction cost are included in the initial investment, but not detailed in the "Start-up
Cost table" because these costs happen before the projected pro forma begins.
In the Start-Up Funding table there are two forms/types of investors listed:
The Seed Investors/Partners that come under #1-11, are considered the seed funding
group and company management team. Their investment is not secure and carries a
greater risk of loss. Therefore, the percentage of the company that this group receives for
their investment equals a much greater company ownership than the secure partners do
for their investment (these partners are also earning sweat equity shares for their
involvement/efforts rather than wages during development).
The Start-up Investors/Secure Partners that come under #1 -4, are considered the start-
up funding partners. They may or may not be part of the company's management team but
are the voting and percentage controlling partners. Their investment will be escrowed and
secure until the company has secured funding for the entire project. There is less risk of
loss that is associated with these investors.
The Use of Funds table details many of the Start-up Expenses.

The first proposed site / property has two different aspects to it:
1. We initiate our pilot project of Nursery Sale Point in 3 acres provided by QAU at the
juncture of Murree Road and Shahdara Road.
2. We incorporate a multi purpose sale point which will provide us with details on market
trends and guide our future direction and strategies. This involves more risk but offers
higher profits because we will need to establish a credibility once they are developed.
Therefore, within this business plan we will present a primary look at both possibilities,
including the basic business structure, the start-up cost, the company's projected growth,
the market, the local demographics, the economic impact, the industry trends, the
construction costs, the development of the land, the oversight of operations during the
development of the infrastructure and the companies future management and marketing
team.
Our proposed site is the 3 +/- acres running along the north side of the Murree Road, with
one planned future Road Shahdra Road that will link to QAU and other (roads) accesses/
easements.
The entire property is zoned commercial and the owner has stated that they supports our
project and will carry a contract. Phase 1 would place our pilot project of HRP Sale point
just west of the other existing commercial establishments.
3 SERVICE STRATEGY
3.0 Services
Our Sale Point will provide customers with a wholesome environment that
provides ambiance, entertainment, excitement, great food, relaxing atmosphere,
souvenirs and great food all while forming lasting memories at affordable prices.
To that end, the company plans to become profitable and retain a solid
leadership position in the marketplace by providing:
•" Year round sales with a wide variety of sellable - Our season never stops.
•" Seasoned, successful management team.
•" Working with Department of Tourism - National and international
exposure.
•" Family-oriented - Partnership-operated center gives the company local
insight.
• Aggressive marketing.
• Community Involvement
•" Customer Incentive Program - Reward frequent visitors/customers.
•" Easy access and exposure.
The ability of Leonx Mark to accomplish its goals and lead the local family
entertainment industry, depends upon the expertise and social conscience of the
management team. Our management team will be trained to understand these
facts and some members of our management team have been recognized in the
past for their outstanding community service and involvement.
"
This HRP Sale point will truly serve as a resource point for all islamabad residents &
community in order to cater to all their gardening needs, landscaping services, birds,
dogs and pets buying, food, snacks and juices for students, youth, families and tourists
of this area.
4 MARKET ANALYSIS
Research has indicated that the prime market for a POS is in urban areas close
to neighborhoods with large concentrations of upper- to middle-income bracket
population. Ease of access is important, and is a crucial requirement.
A ten to fifteen mile radius is considered the radial market area of a Nursery.
However, depending on competition (or lack thereof) a market area can grow to
a 25 mile radius and with easy highway access to a radius of thirty miles from
the Sale Point.
10%
12%
43%
36%
Even though, our customers can be considered all age groups, both sexes, all
races, all income levels, local residents or tourist to the area. The most
important factor behind our success is simply, THAT A PERSON LIKES THE
AMBIANCE, while purchasing.
*Even though the government did not conduct a national census in 2010, a housing
survey conducted in Islamabad revealed that the capitalʼs population has more than
doubled since the last census in 1998.
The housing survey, conducted by the Census Department in collaboration with the
Federal Directorate of Education and the local administration in April 2011, estimated
the capitalʼs current population at around 2 million, while the 1998 census put it at
800,000.
The housing survey also revealed that the number of houses has risen sharply.
“A hundred per cent increase has been seen in localities on the outskirts of the capital
like Bhara Kahu, Banigala, Tarnol, Golra, and sectors I-11, G-11, G-12, F-12 and H-13,”
said an official of the local administration.
The market for a modern Nursery and Good Food Spot in the Islamabad area is
superior to most, partly due to the tremendous population growth which has occurred
during the past five years. With the overwhelming majority of the population living and
working within 15 miles of our first selected site. Additionally, there is not a Nursery
Sale Point of this type within 20 +/- miles.
1951 95,940 0
1961 117,669 0
According to the 1998 census, the total population of the city was 805,235, with 434,239
males and 370,996 females. The average annual population growth rate from 1981 to
1998 was 5.19. The urban population of the city was 529,180, with 209,717 males and
238,463 females. The total rural population in 1998 was 276,055, with 143,522 males and
132,533 females.
"Being locally owned, you can design and operate your facility to be connected with the
community and fine-tune to meet their needs. You have to be part of the community to
be successful."
Leonx Mark is a business focusing on family entertainment where there will be sports
and activities that all ages can participate in and enjoy as individuals or as a group. It
is where grandparents can take grandchildren of all ages (it makes a great date night
or family outing).
Experts say, "If you require a big grand opening or spend a ton on advertising your
center, then you are not in the right location. The public just needs to be able to see
your location, make it look fun and they will know where you are and when to come."
4.3.2 Main Competitors
The other local, single activity businesses will not have much of an impact on our
potential customer base, especially in customized and exclusive services.
None the less our sale point will be competing with other established nurseries and
food spots for the consumer's spending. These spots are: nurseries at Peshawar More,
canteens and cafeteria at the QAU, bird shops, kennels and etc. Yet, none of these
point of sales truly compete with our project, because at our proposed location we will
offer more options custom-fit to the community and tourist.
Leonx Mark will be the first of its kind in the area to address our underserved market,
understanding that price is not the public's only buying criterion. We at Leonx Mark
believe that customers want to feel a holistic process of having fun and they expect
prompt service. Combine that with a clean environment and properly working
equipment and we are ensured that our customers will come back again and again.
5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary
Our services will be positioned to provide our customers with a premium product and
Services experience.
However, our pricing strategy at the sale point will be to charge a range from affordable
to premium price as per market standards.
The following subtopics will present our sales strategy, marketing strategy, pricing
strategy, daily customer projections and promotion strategy.
Leonx Mark will also work toward establishing community involvement programs that
will demonstrate how the business can contribute to a better quality of community life.
Such as: Community projects using the "Botanical Garden & QAU's" facilities to help
civic groups obtain their financial goals (by offering fund raising events). Schools,
churches, and other groups will be welcomed for tours of the facilities and will be
shown how the facility can be used to help raise funds for their needs.
The high standards set by our company and our location are going to make it very
difficult for competitors to enter and survive in the market area.
Our market understanding shows that the opportunity exists to provide a high-quality
service in a family-oriented environment, where we can offer competitive pricing to our
customers and still make an outstanding profit in Islamabadʼs demanding market.
Produce maximum profits, but still able to offer affordable products and services
Provide the essential products
Great food
Repeat customers/periodic events/enjoyment for kids and loyalty discounts
Allow space for other brands (reduce overhead)
Provide activities for a large range of age groups
Unique in design with comfortable ambience
Exciting work environment (free wifi)
Our customers can come from all age groups, male and female, all races, every
income level and can be local residents or tourists to the area. That is why our
marketing plan started at the construction phase; by keeping in mind, if it looks decent
people will come. Thus the main factor to our success is simply that a person can
enjoy themselves at our center because of ambiance.
Our full-time manager is a vital part of our management team, by assuring that
customer satisfaction is provided and gathering information from the public about the
types of products and services most desired. This can provide our company with the
means to stay in touch with the community and ready to meet their desires.
The following details our pricing and the # of customers per month that we used for our
cash flow projections. These projected numbers are 35% +/- of daily operation
capacity and being open for business 30 days a month, not closed on Sundays. It
should also be noted, there maybe products or services planned that are not included
in our projections.
