6. SWOT Analysis
Due to our drive for excellence when it comes to running a standard and world – class sewing / fashion design business,
we were able to engage some of the finest business consultants in Lagos – Nigeria to look through our business concept
and together we were able to critically examine the prospect of the business and to access ourselves to be sure we have
what it takes to run a standard sewing / fashion design business that can compete favorably not just in Michigan but also
in the West African Coast.

 In view of that, we were able to take stock of our strengths, our weakness, our opportunities and also the
threats that we are likely going to be exposed to in America and also in other parts of the world that we
intend selling our African attire. Here is a of what we got from the critically conducted SWOT Analysis Ola
Clem® Fashion House, Inc.; Strength:
Our strength lies in the fact that we have state of the art facility and industrial sewing machines that has positioned us to
meet the demand of African attires in Diaspora even if the demand tripled over night or if we have a massive order to
meet and emergency need.

Another factor that counts to our advantage is the background of our Chief Executive Office; he has a robust experience in
the industry and also a pretty good academic qualification to match the experience acquired which has placed him
amongst the top flight fashion designers in Nigeria.

We are not ignoring the fact that our team of highly qualified and dedicated workers (tailors and support staff) will also
serve as strength for our organization.

 Weakness:
We do not take for granted the facts that we have weaknesses. In fact, the reality that we are setting up a sewing / fashion
design business in a city with other smaller and larger sewing / fashion design businesses might likely pose a challenge for
us in breaking into the already saturated market in Nigeria.

In essence our chosen location might be our weakness. But never the less, we have plans to launch out with a big bang.
We know with that, we will be able to create a positive impression and we have a proper handle when it comes to building
on already gather momentum.

 Opportunities:
 The opportunities available to us are unlimited. Loads of people in Lagos state put on Africa attire for
various occasions and all what we are going to do to push our products to them is already perfected.
Michigan is just ideal for this type of business simply because of the economy of scales. Threat:
The threat that is likely going to confront us is the fact that we are competing with already established sewing / fashion
design businesses in Michigan and also there are other entrepreneurs who are likely going to launch similar business
within the location of our business. Of course, they will compete with us in winning over the available market.
Another threat that we are likely going to face is unfavorable government policies and economic downturn. Usually
economic downturn affects purchasing / spending powers and unfavorable government policies can hinder the importation
of some sewing materials from other parts of the world.
7. MARKET ANALYSIS
 Market Trends
It is common trend in the sewing / fashion design line of business to find sewing / fashion design companies positioning
their business in locations and communities where they can easily have access to affordable sewing materials and also
available market.

If you make the mistake of positioning this type of business in a location where you would have to travel a distance before
you can access sewing materials in commercial quantities or where people who want to make dress would have to struggle
before they can locate your shop, then you would have to struggle to make profits and maintain your overhead and
logistics.

So also, another trend in this line of business is that most registered and well organized sewing / fashion design companies
look beyond the market within their locations or even America; they are involved in packaging and exporting African
dresses and clothes to communities abroad with robust Nigerian cum African communities. Europe and Canada and most
countries in Europe are their major targets.

Lastly, in the bid to stay afloat and continue to make profits from this line of business, most standard businesses that are
into sewing African attires tend to work hard to ensure that they also produce what is popularly called ‘English Wears’
that can favorably compete with shirts, trousers, T – shirts, Polo and dresses et al that are produced abroad. With that, it is
easier for them to maximize profits and grow the business.

Our Target Market

When it comes to sewing clothes, there is indeed a wide range of available customers. In essence, our target market can’t
be restricted to just a group of people, but all those who put on African attires and also all those who would want to try
them out.

One thing is certain; there are no restrictions to the demographic and psychographics composition of the target market for
African attires in America and the West African Coast. This goes to show that the target market for African attire is wide
and far reaching, you can create your own make niche yourself to serve a specific purpose.

In view of that, we have conducted our market research and we have ideas of what our target market would be expecting
from us. We are in business to engage in retailing and wholesale distribution cum exporting of African attires to the
following groups of people;

 Government Officials
 Religious Leaders
 Celebrities
 Corporate Executives
 Groups
 Wedding Planners (Traditional Dresses / Clothes for Bride, Groom and their train)
 Men, Women and Children in Michigan and other cities in America
 America cum African communities in the united states of America, Canada, and Europe
 Small scale businesses that are into sales and exporting of African attires.

8. Our Competitive Advantage

First and foremost, the fact that anybody with a business cum sewing skills can decide to open sewing / fashion design
business means that the business is open to all and sundry hence it is expected that there will be high – level competition
in the industry.
There is hardly any busy community that you won’t find several sewing / fashion designing business especially on a small
scale level. As a standard fashion design / sewing company, we know that gaining a competitive edge requires a detailed
analysis of the demographics of the surrounding area and the nature of existing competitors.

And even if you are successful at first, new competitors could enter your market at any time to steal your regular
customers.

Hence we will not hesitate to adopt successful and workable strategies from our competitors. We are going to be one of
the very few sewing / fashion designing company in Michigan that will also engage in wholesale distribution of African
attires all across America and also export to other countries of the world.

Another competitive advantage that we have is in the fact that we have state of the art facility and industrial sewing
machines that has positioned us to meet the demand of African attires in Michigan even if the demand tripled over night
or if we have a massive order to meet and emergency need.

Another factor that counts to our advantage is the background of our Chief Executive Office; he has a robust experience in
the industry and also a pretty good academic qualification to match the experience acquired which has placed him
amongst the top flight fashion designers in Michigan.

We are not ignoring the fact that our team of highly qualified and dedicated workers (tailors and support staff) will also
serve as strength for our organization.

Lastly, our employees will be well taken care of, and their welfare package will be among the best within our category
(startups sewing / fashion design companies) in the industry, meaning that they will be more than willing to build the
business with us and help deliver our set goals and achieve all our aims and objectives.

We will also give good working conditions and commissions to freelance sales agents that we will recruit from time to
time.

13. Startup Expenditure (Budget)

to go big by renting a place, then you would need a good amount of capital as you would need to ensure that your
employees are well taken care of, and that your facility is conducive enough for workers to be creative and productive.

This means that the start-up can either be low or high depending on your goals, vision and aspirations for your business.
The tools and equipment that will be used are nearly the same cost everywhere, and any difference in prices would be
minimal and can be overlooked.

As for the detailed cost analysis for starting a sewing / fashion designing business; it might differ in other countries due to
the value of their money. We know that no matter where we intend starting our sewing / fashion designing business, we
would be required to fulfill most of the items listed below;

machines and other software) – $1,000

business. Please note that this amount includes the salaries of all the staff for the first 3 month of operation.
Generating Funds / Startup Capital for Ola Clem® Fashion House, Inc.
No matter how fantastic your business idea might be, if you don’t have the required money to finance the business, the
business might not become a reality.

Finance is a very important factor when it comes to starting a business such as standard sewing / fashion designing
business. No doubt raising start – up capital for a business might not come cheap, but it is a task that an entrepreneur must
go through.

Ola Clem® Fashion House, Inc. is a family business that is owned and financed by Mr. Olamide Clement and his
immediate family members. They do not intend to welcome any external business partner which is why he has decided to
restrict the sourcing of the start – up capital to 3 major sources. These are the areas we intend generating our start – up
capital;

N.B: We have been able to generate about $500,000 (Personal savings $200,000 and soft loan from family members
$300,000) and we are at the final stages of obtaining a loan facility of $300,000 from our bank. All the papers and
document have been signed and submitted, the loan has been approved and any moment from now our account will be
credited with the amount.
14. Sustainability and Expansion Strategy
The future of a business lies in the numbers of loyal customers that they have the capacity and competence of the
employees, their investment strategy and the business structure. If all of these factors are missing from a business
(company), then it won’t be too long before the business close shop.

One of our major goals of starting Ola Clem® Fashion House, Inc. is to build a business that will survive off its own cash
flow without the need for injecting finance from external sources once the business is officially running.

We know that one of the ways of gaining approval and winning customers over is to offer our services and products a
little bit cheaper than what is obtainable in the market and we are well prepared to survive on lower profit margin for a
while.

Ola Clem® Fashion House, Inc. will make sure that the right foundation, structures and processes are put in place to
ensure that our staff welfare are well taken of. Our company’s corporate culture is designed to drive our business to
greater heights and training and retraining of our workforce is at the top burner.

their performance for a period of three years or more.
