CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE BUSINESS

The Crab Enterprise is a partnership company which totally holds by the Muslim. The formation of this company is starting from five members that have a good self commitment and dedication to form a company. The findings of one of our partners to reap also encouraged us to carry on the business as aware of the return of crabs that we might get later. The main business of The Crab Enterprise is to supply soft skin crabs to the restaurant, market and people in Kuala Kurau. This is because crab without a shell is a little foreign in Malaysia, but in Thailand and Vietnam, it becomes

a popular dish in restaurants and traditional farming. Soft crab is so unique because it can be eaten the whole crab including the crab tongs without removing the entire contents of the skin. Our business products which are crabs are based on Islamic practice and we are always making sure that our crabs are Halal. We are sell only one type of the soft crab which is palm crab. Palm crab a large crab (Birgus latro) of the islands of the South Pacific that live in burrows and feeds mainly on coconuts. It is prefer to make it soft because it is higher in a market price and easy to make it soft. In order for a hard crab to grow, it must periodically shed its old shell (molt) in order to grow a larger shell. Following a successful molt, the crab's new shell is extremely soft. After several days in the water, the new shell fully hardens and is about one-third larger in size. Crabs must be checked many times a day so that they can be removed from the water immediately after moulting so that they are not eaten by other crabs and so their shells will not harden. Besides that, the reasons why we chose this type of crab is because the quality and the size can be higher and bigger than feral crabs.

The entire business planning process forces the entrepreneur to analyze all aspects of the venture, market, want people needs and want. In addition, business plan are made to prepare an effective strategy to deal with the uncertainty that arise. Thus, a business plan may help an entrepreneur avoid a project doomed to failure. It is important that entrepreneur prepare their own business plan, especially as a partnership company. If an entrepreneurial team is involved, then all of the key members should be a part of that writing plan. This means that, it is important to the lead entrepreneur understand the contribution of each team member. If consultant are sought to help prepare a business plan, the entrepreneur must remain the driving force behind the plan. Seeking the advice and assistance of out outside professionals is always wise, but entrepreneur needs to understand every aspects of the business plan, since it is they who will operate that business on their own, together with the other partnership. Next, by providing this business plan earlier, it can help us overcome the problems that will occur in the future. The flow in and flow out of the money are derived from a business plan for both the entrepreneur and the financial sources that read it and evaluate the venture. Other benefits are to evaluate the growth potential of our business at the highest level.

Product/Service Strategy

Even though our business is still new to the public, we guarantee our products are in great quality. We ensure that the crabs that we rearing are healthy and free from any disease. The crabs are given the safe and nutrition food. For example, we will make sure that the food and water supply is free from harmful chemical that can damage the quality of the crabs. 3.8.2 Place/Distribution Strategy

Our location is indeed a strategic place. The intermediaries involve reseller (seafood restaurants) and retailers. On the other hand, The Crab Enterprise is taking chances regarding distribution channel by undertaking direct marketing channel which eliminates all the intermediates. Therefore, the business can deliver the crabs directly to the buyers.

INTRODUCTION TO FINANCIAL PLAN

Every business must have its own financial plan. Financial plan, in general is used as a budget, a plan for spending and saving future income.

Without financial plan, the cash flow for ones business will be unclear and will cause future projects to be in a pinch as there is no trace of where the money is coming from and going to. This is to make sure that all

contributors know where their money are going and for what purpose to avoid profit loss.

In short, financial report, the backbone of the company will help to keep tracks of incoming and outgoing money for future planning projects such as expanding the business worldwide or serving new service under the same companys name. If not, a thriving company may having trouble to pay rents and utilities.
