Tina's feasibility study into business (1)

Tina was someone who had gotten so much into fashion business. At the beginning, she did a drop-shipping type of business. She collected orders and demanded a certain amount of money as a down-payment from her clients then went to collect the merchandise from the gross-seller.

She did this for quite sometime until she was able to collect a big sum of money that later she placed it as her capital to have a shop of her own. Before she got herself the shop, she did some studies about where she should get her shop, how it should be, what equipment should she get to furnish her fashion shop. And where to start. Should she have her shop in a hyper-commercial center or in a luxurious residential area where lived the rich and the jet-sets. The she decided pick the hyper-commercial center. She surfed the Internet for that space, then she decided the Grand Indonesia Mall. because she saw that it was in center of the Metropolitan Jakarta, where traffic was vast and had easy access. And also, there were not many tenants yet.

When she reached back home with the Mall in her mind, she started thinking the financial side of everything, and her brains turned around the Saturn planet in confusion. Something struck her mind, one of her ex-classmates in college! She grabbed her address-book and she found his numbers. This friend of hers worked in a company dealing with financial plans. She got him and she told him about her plan. Then they agreed for a meeting. When they met, her friend, before referring to his own company, suggested to her some other companies that he knew like Price Waterhouse and Coopers or Ameriprise Financial. And then her friend handed her his prospectus and quotations and a couple of module booklet for her to study.

Tina thanked her friend and promised him to let him know as she'd come to decision.

Chic 



Those above are Tina's options, which among the three type of shop she would set up. The chic type, sprotif lux or the practical which she could make a co-tenancy with person who handled franchise. The last one could be her choice. Her clients could take a little longer time and at the same time could enjoy some drinks and snacks while discussing about fashion with her.
