The city has huge opportunities in every field of industry whether it is Technology, E-commerce, Manufacturing, Retail, Automobile, Travel and tourism, Hospitality, Health care etc. But the increasing growth of E-commerce industry has intuited me to start a business where I can achieve fame, brand, profit and a dream to become a successful businessman.

Rationale behind development of business

In present scenario the people are robustly buying the products or services directly through online websites. Buyer and seller both feel comfortable while dealing the e-business. Buyer can easily access the extensive range of products and services through the virtual store of the company and from anywhere. On the other side the seller has comfort of selling different types of products and services through one platform without any physical presence and resources required. Positive factors of operating business in E-commerce industry have attract every individual, business house, company etc. to order their product or service via internet facility. I have decided to open an e-business “Apparatus Store”. This virtual store will offer extensive range of products which are required in offices, companies and business. This e-business will be operate in London only and serve the needs of customers in very efficient manner. The name of the website will be www. apparatusstore.com

E-commerce industry is at its boom position and that’s the reason and offering various opportunities to start a new business which satisfy the needs and wants of the customers at utmost satisfaction level. Moreover taking a decision to operate a business of e-commerce in London is best opportunity to fulfill the dream of businessman. I have also examined that the sales in online market is increasing year by year along with the higher demand of public. Factors and positive aspects on the basis of which online market is based is also one of the major reasons for business development in online market. The factors on the basis of which I want to justify my business plan of E-commerce website is that it eliminates the physical presence of business outlet, minimize the cost of construction and physical resource, efficient customer service etc. Another reason is that it also offers flexible business hours; eliminate the geographical boundary, less man power and also minimization of costs in different areas of business.

Aim and Objectives

The concept of this business plan development is to start a new online virtual store for selling of products and services which are required in companies and offices. Market of London is full of numbers of offices and corporate houses. The business will sell the products such as office equipments, technology products, and stationary items and also offer the service related refurbishment of office equipments. The main of this chapter is to reveal the opportunity of e-business in present scenario of e-commerce industry. One of the main components of the chapter Business Concept is mission and vision for the business plan and detail description about the products and services which are offered on the website of Apparatus Store.

Business Opportunity

In UK the internet industry is has worth of billions of pound and this industry is growing at very faster rate. The concept of online retailing in UK is continuing at very fast growth and also creating tough competition in market. Due to flexibility and ease of purchase decision, the customers are buying their products and services directly through online store (VanHoose, 2011). They want to save their time and cost and also requires the extensive range of varieties of products at one platform. This market has wide opportunity and it can be proved on the basis of some justifications which are related to the E-commerce industry of UK. Interactive Media in Retail Group (IMRG) and Capgemini has exposed that in 2012 there was 11.5% increase in growth of e-commerce industry of UK and for the year 2013, the online retail market has urged 16% growth (Ezbob, 2013). In this year the total business was amounted to £87 billion and for the year 2014 it is forecasted that online market will increased with 17% market growth and around £107 billion will be spend. It will broke the threshold limit of £100 billion (Ecommerce trends in the UK: £91bn spent online in 2013, 2014). Emphasizing on this predicted information by the Capgemini and IMRG and increasing expenditure of customers in online retain business shows a great opportunity to start an e-business or online retail business in London, UK. It was the main reason which has attracted me to plan a business which has small presence in market and gives better opportunity to develop a business.

E-commerce industry has publicized a remarkable performance due to its unique feature of click and collect’s influence. Online shopping has now become the part of every individual’s lives and its increasing growth does not shows any declining stage in this study (VanHoose, 2011). This industry has given me a chance to grab the opportunity by starting an online business. There are very few virtual stores that are totally based on selling of official equipments and resources via online store. Another opportunity which this business provides is that in present scenario due to heavy workload and competitive environment, the corporate offices and business does not have enough time to physically go and buy the office equipments. They do not have enough time that can search and buy best quality of product at one place. Starting of a business to sell online products such as furniture, technology products, office equipments, stationary items and other services helps the companies to directly order the products from their offices.

As per the report of The Guardian in year 2010, they inferred that UK has biggest e-commerce market in world when it is measured in terms of amount spend per capita. This industry has achieved year-on-year growth rate in retail business and has touched £100 billion of net worth (UK's internet industry worth £100bn – report, 2010). The research report of Capgemini and Interactive Media in Retail Group (IMRG) has projected that in year 2016, the industry will achieve significant growth that is 23%. Despite the country has encounter the downturn in its economy, the e-commerce industry of UK has grown at some steady rate as other industries have declined (Ecommerce trends in the UK: £91bn spent online in 2013, 2014). Accessing the internet for personal use, official use and for various other purposes has increased. Planning for developing a business of online retail store for selling of products required in corporate offices and companies will help to earn a good amount of profit from this e-business. Thus we have planned to operate a business in e-commerce industry by selling the products through online store. Our products will be selling to the customers when they directly order them through our website.

Research philosophy

The philosophy is related with determining a pattern through which the scholar can figure out its path on which he had to pursue. Researcher can adopt two types of philosophies interpretivism and positivism. Interpretivism states that reality is relative and multiple. As per this philosophy there can be more than one reality and more than a single structured method of grasping such real theories. While on the other side positivism there is a external, single and objective reality to any research questions despite of what the researchers belief. Under this researcher adopts a controlled and structural approach in performing the study. For this business plan study positivism philosophy is more suitable because a business plan cannot be implemented without doing the mathematical and logical calculation. The plan will also require application of statistical and mathematical techniques so that is the reason this philosophy will be appropriate for the plan.

Research Design

It is a systematic design that can be described as the systematic plan to examine a scientific issue. At this stage researcher make efforts to collect satisfactory evidence about the problem. He can adopt various designs like descriptive, corelational, meta-analytic and experimental etc. Hence for this work experimental design will be suitable because it is related with launching a new business. That indicates that researcher is experimenting the marketing and business circumstance for the new service. Along with that it will also require going through different theories, principles and concepts that is related to the new idea. The design is also appropriate because it offers an sound evidence that the study which is being adopted will certainly bring changes. Cause & effect relationship can be established also under this plan with this type of design.

Research Approach

Two types of approaches are there which can be adopted. First one is inductive approach and the other one is deductive approach. For this study inductive approach will be more suitable because there is no need of pre-determined theory to collect the data and information. It is generally related with positivism philosophy and offer valuable result to the researcher through using the real life examples.

Data collection

Data collection is the most sensitive portion of the work. It is important that all the information must be collected from valid and authentic sources. Here the data can be collected from two sources primary and secondary sources. Primary information will be collected from a sample of 50 customers who are interested in buying products like furniture, gadgets, equipments, stationary for offices, companies and business houses. Information will be collected through distributing a set of questionnaire and obtaining the responses from the participants. It will bring out the preferences and choices of the people regarding these kinds of products and services, while on the other side secondary information will be collected through books, journals, online articles, newspapers etc.

Sample collection

Sampling will be adopted with the objective of identifying the appropriate sample from which the relevant information can be collected. It makes the data collection work easier and flexible also decreasing the time incurred in the work. For this study method of random sampling will be adopted under which every individual will have equal chances of being selected. Data will be collected from a sample of 50 customers. Random sampling is more suitable because it is the best method to achieve unbiased results in the study. It includes selection of subjects from population through unpredictable manner. One of the major thing is that every sample has the equal chances of being selected. Since the subjects are randomized so it is one of the best method which can assure unbiased results. It is also much faster and often less expensive to use this kind of sampling. It also offers results and outcomes that are valid and also making it easy for the investigators to make conclusions about large populations.

Limitations of the study

The limitation of the study is that the researcher had a tight schedule to perform all the activities, to plan and evaluate data. Because of the time constraints only one method of collecting the primary information is being adopted. In case if more time was there he would have performed focus group with the Morrisons online shopping customers. Hence there will be more data for evaluation. Findings and recommendations will be made on the basis of survey taken for the sample. The sample has taken randomly as it is difficult to take the views from the entire population. The survey should be specific and must not be longer.
