BUSINESS DESCRIPTION I am entering the two-wheeled industry because of my hobby-turned-love for motorcycle, performance parts and the need to provide quality workmanship and added option to the customer s choice. With numerous bike owners and shops, I ve gain the knowledge and experience I need to pursue my path to owning and operating my own humble shop. The shop will be located in Singapore. Riderz Avenue is still in it s developmental stage but plans and strategies have been established and awaits proper funding. I have set this up as a sole proprietor for the initial stage so as to steer clear of deviating influence and the need to stay firm on the path we re heading.
MARKETING STRATEGIES Part of our basic marketing tool is advertising in our local bike community forum (singaporebikes.com) with over 100,000 registered members locally and an average 500 users every 8 minutes. Social media sites have also proven success in marketing which we are taking into plans to reach to the mass. Our targets are the local bike community which have been a growing trend and as the business grows we are intending to reach the neighbouring countries bike community scene which have shown great enthusiasm through their purchase supports in the present market. Another channel we are hoping to get an opportunity at is bike exhibition event which in our local community will be held at an average twice yearly put together by different organizations.
SALES PROJECTIONS At Riderz Avenue, we are categorizing sales from 4 different channels over the complete set up of the business. GENERAL MOTORCYCLE MAINTENANCE DISPATCH MOTORCYCLES SERVICES ACCESSORIES & PERFORMANCE PARTS SALES OF NEW MOTORCYCLES

EST. MIN. MONTHLY EST. MIN. YEARLY MIN. SGD 3000 MIN. SGD 36,000
3 YEAR TARGET PROGRESS YEAR 0-1 The start up we are fully aware of it s crucial point hence we have taken the steps and plans to put in more hours and efforts into blooming the business within it s time frame. We will waste no time to market ourselves to create awareness of our presence to the local community and services we provide. We will also extend ourselves to meet with dispatch companies to commit in a Managed Services Contract to stabilize one part of our projected income revenue. We would also hope to secure distributor rights and dealership within these period to enter the upcoming year with more services. YEAR 1-2 At this point, we are looking to participate in part sponsorship to the recognized motorcycle competitions by the Singapore Motor Sports Association and Malaysia s Bike Race Series to widen our horizon and little venture studies in the Asia region of the market. We aim to secure recognition by the local community and our capabilities to provide a reliable service. YEAR 2-3 In the final part of our 3 year target progress, all four sales revenue are targeted to be established with firm up products and services. Collaboration with other partner shop is also the key at Riderz Avenue to contribute to more options in the market so we can continue our progress and move up the achievements as we go by as part of our commitment to the industry.

PLANS OF OPERATION Riderz Avenue will kick start with setting up our shop, website, online accounts and purchase equipments needed to provide maintenance service to the mass. While the shop is up and running, we will apply for distributorship with various brand manufacturer as it is their requirement for applicants to have an existing shop. The idea is to have a shop which we can house the product and attain distributorship rights to distribute in Southeast Asia. With these, we are providing more options to the community where many have demanded change and new products to add to their choices.
COMPETITORS I personally believe that competitions/pressure are healthy and at the same time it keeps you on-the-go to provide better service/products to the mass and a good reminder as not to lack behind once the business is up and running. There are a few number of successful motorcycle shops here but however I noticed a growing demand for new reputable brands to be introduce and sustainable supply for existing demands in the motorcycle industry. Apart from competitors, there are other average numbers of motorcycle shop owners who are keen and are supportive of offering sponsorship and joint ventures in participation of motorsports competitions in Asia region and offering assistance to shops in need of support.
