Business Expansion Planning

Desired outcome

A plan that outlines viable ways to grow the business, which could include expanding the customer base, expanding new service areas, and creating potential revenue streams. The objective is to expand the operation (installation and maintenance of air conditioning systems and other plumbing services) nationwide and attract new clients from large construction companies.

Initial Problem Description

The company is looking to expand, but it doesn't have a comprehensive plan to explore new markets, identify ideal customer segments, and investigate extra revenue sources, such as maintenance packages or smart home integrations regarding air conditioning and plumbic services. We are looking for a team to execute a business plan, which will involve conducting research with new potential customers and finding ways create new collaborations and grow our business. The objective of these possible collaborations is to connect with individuals active especially in the building sector.

Context

In a competitive industry, the business needs to differentiate itself from competitors who provide similar services (installation and maintenance of air conditioning systems and plumbic services). Targeted services, such as eco-friendly options or smart technology integration, could be an effective way to differentiate and attract customers. The company is dedicated to ensuring that any expansion is in line with current trends and consumer expectations, particularly in terms of sustainability and digital innovation. Furthermore, it is crucial to have information on the current customer base, geographic reach, service offerings at the national level, and financial performance. The project team can develop an expansion strategy that is tailored to the business through the use of competitor analysis and operational insights.

Connection to cross-cutting areas

This challenge connects to entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainability by seeking a team to develop a growth-oriented business plan. The goal is to reach new customers and expand our market presence with strategies that emphasize sustainable, forward-thinking practices.

Input

Conducting a study of the current market at the national level and identifying competitors is important. While not mandatory, conducting a study on the prices currently in the Cypriot market would be beneficial. The design of this plan could be aided by studying the actions of other businesses based in other countries.

Expectations

Business Plan, SWOT Analysis and Profitability Estimation: a plan that encompasses a market analysis, growth objectives, achievable actions, competitor insights, financial forecasting, and potential hazards. A recommendation for a gradual rollout of new services or geographic expansion, with budget estimates and expected returns on investment.

Desired Team Profile

Skilled in business planning, financial analysis, and market research. Ideal candidates are students and researchers focused on growth strategy, market analysis, business administration, finance/economics, marketing or data analytics, or researchers specializing in small business growth.
