Executive Summary
Carswipe, the company, is a mobile application that targets the untapped mobile shopping market for
automobiles. There is no company in the market which has effectively accommodated the unique
preferences of mobile users. Carswipe is a mobile application entirely focused around mobile users that
makes the car buying process simpler and more effective for consumers and generates a steady stream
of local and qualified leads for car dealerships. The company is seeking an equity investment of
$2,000,000 to be applied towards the commercialization of the mobile application. The following
business plan presents the existing void in the mobile automotive shopping market, the solution that
CarSwipe delivers, and its approach to generating a profitable exit within five years.

Product & Service Summary

Carswipe delivers value for car buyers and sellers. Car sellers generate a steady and reliable stream of
qualified local leads verified from their mobile device. Car buyers receive a simplified mobile shopping
experience on their mobile device which is easier to use, more user friendly, and effective than any
existing alternative in the mobile space. Although Carswipe will be generating revenue from auto
dealerships, it must create value for car buyers in order to consistently generate qualified leads for
privately owned and franchise dealerships.

Market Summary

Despite the technological advancements introduced in recent years, there has been a forecast by
Sales (in millions)

PricewaterhouseCoopers for the number of automobiles sold within the United States to remain relatively
unchanged 1 . In part, this is due to an expectation of slow autonomous car adoption. Furthermore,
expected economic factors such as increased interest rates and slow GDP growth contribute to this trend
as well.

Even though the trend showcases an unchanged number of total sales, it is expected that younger
automotive buyers will begin to have an increasing share of this demand. As a result, there should be
growth in the demand of millennials despite the relatively modest changes in overall demand. Globally, it
is worth noting that expansion in the number of automobiles sold is expected. So, it would be possible to
eventually expand to larger markets after successful deployment within the United States is attained.

Three Year Objectives

Carswipe has the following three year objectives:

• Scale to an estimated X number of users in the first year and grow at least by 100% per year.
• Acquire at least X number of dealerships to purchase leads or subscribe to the monthly service.
• Maintain a profit margin comparable to the mobile application market of 20% or higher.
• Have a presence of inventory and dealerships within all fifty US states and Canadian
providences.
• Perform extensive consumer level marketing to ensure consistent mobile app adoption.
• Form strategic partnerships with dealership marketing companies and others in the retail
vertical.

Keys to Success

Carswipe has identified the following as keys to success:

• Consistently research and improve the user experience for car shopping on mobile devices.
• Be the leading option for car shopping on mobile devices within the United States.
• Generate higher quality leads for car dealerships by user authentication from the mobile device.
• Generate more targeted leads for car dealerships by the application’s GPS targeting techniques.
• Consistently have a robust, diverse, and steady inventory of cars to view on the mobile app.
• Stay ahead of market trends such as the introduction of Internet based car buying.

Mission Statement

The mission of Carswipe is become the leader in mobile car shopping by consistently researching and
implementing ways to optimize the car buying experience for anyone with a mobile device.

Financing Summary

CarSwipe is seeking an investment of $2,000,000 at a valuation of $13,333,333 of preferred equity with


the target exit strategy of a strategic acquisition within five years. The owners have already invested
$50,000 in order to complete the research, design, development, and hosting of the mobile application.
Therefore, the use of funds will be applied for commercialization and scaling of the application. The
complete set of financial projections and their assumptions have been listed in the appropriate Financial
Projections section of the business plan.

Product & Services

Product & Service Description

Carswipe serves both consumers and car dealerships more effectively than any existing alternative. There
are presently no options that have been entirely engineered around mobile consumers, most existing
market players have merely adapted their existing desktop and web applications – creating an inferior
mobile experience. The fact that Carswipe has been entirely engineered around mobile applications
generates several unique selling propositions for both consumers and car dealerships.

Consumers

• Easier to Use: The existing options for mobile consumers consist of adjusted version of desktop
and web applications. The fact that Carswipe is specifically engineered for mobile devices and the
consumer preferences for mobile devices makes it substantially easier to use than any existing
alternative.

• Geo-Targeted: Existing alternates search based on the consumer’s zip code. In some areas, the
same zip code may still mean a commute of several hours and there is no method of determining
the proximity relative to the user. The mobile application uses the GPS of smartphones to show
cars within the closest proximity to the buyer.

• Verified car listings: Many existing options for car buyers do not have verified listings; there is no
method of filtering the quality of the cars. This is highly problematic because individuals not
dealing with an authorized dealer can be duped from any myriad of scams. Carswipe is safer to
use than any alternative that has less efficient filtering and quality control procedures.

Car Dealerships

• Verified User Information: Mobile devices authenticate users more effectively than desktop
applications. Moreover, they deliver users within a closer proximity to the car seller, meaning that
the leads are more likely to show-up at the dealership given that they do not need to commute a
great distance.

• Flexible Pricing Model: Dealerships may either pay-per-lead or pay a monthly subscription fee in
order to receive an unlimited amount of leads. This pricing model enables the company to be
affordable for smaller dealerships that prefer performance based marketing strategies and also
larger dealerships with large inventory which would prefer a flat monthly rate rather than
incurring unsustainable monthly expenses.

Industry Overview

Market Needs

Car dealerships continually search for methods to increase sales. While technology has made an impact
in the sales plan of many dealers, there is still a disconnect between many millennials. In part, the
disconnect can be due to an overwhelming number of options that are available. In order to combat this
issue, an engaging application was created to bridge this disconnect.

CarSwipe allows car dealerships to connect with this lucrative target group in a verified process. Rather
than attempting to connect with all potential buyers, CarSwipe has been able to create a unique
approach that is tailored to a younger generation.

Market Trends

Forecasted Automotive Sales

Despite the technological advancements introduced in recent


Sales (in millions)

years, there has been a forecast by PricewaterhouseCoopers for


the number of automobiles sold within the United States to
remain relatively unchanged 2 . In part, this is due to an
expectation of slow autonomous car adoption. Furthermore,
expected economic factors such as increased interest rates and
slow GDP growth contribute to this trend as well.

Even though the trend showcases an unchanged number of


total sales, it is expected that younger automotive buyers will
begin to have an increasing share of this demand. As a result,
there should be growth in the demand of millennials despite the
relatively modest changes in overall demand. Globally, it is worth noting that expansion in the number of
automobiles sold is expected. So, it would be possible to eventually expand to larger markets after
successful deployment within the United States is attained.

Market Growth

In North America, there is an expectation for the continued growth rates in smartphone ownership within
the foreseeable future. While the potential customers able to utilize CarSwipe would likely increase, there
is uncertainty regarding the extent to relation of these trends.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Study, http://www.strategyand.pwc.com/perspectives/2016-auto-industry-trends

8
Although some may think proportionate user
growth could be expected, CarSwipe believes that
this assumption may underestimate the extent to
which younger user would be inclined to review
the product. Instead, it would be recommended
to analyze the trend based on the assumption
that user growth among new smartphone users
will exceed proportional relationships that may
have been present in earlier time periods. Of
course, continual adjustment to this analysis
should be completed on a regular basis in order to
update stakeholders in the operation of
CarSwipe.

Market Segmentation

Car Buyers

There are many segments of car buyers in the United States and abroad, which may be further segmented
in to used car buyers, and within that, millennial used car buyers. However, Carswipe may be used by
anyone in the market for a car. Given the rate of smartphone penetration over the past ten years, nearly
all consumers across every demographic in North America owns a smartphone and regularly downloads
mobile applications. Therefore, Carswipe may be used by 73% of people in North America. It marketing
efforts will target mobile users through in-app marketing and behavioral search marketing – targeting
consumers that have expressed an interest in purchasing a new car, as well as display advertisement
promoting the application download on content websites that provide information about used cars.

Automotive Dealerships

In general, there are two types of car dealerships in the market. The first are franchise dealers, which
represent car manufacturers. According to a report that NADA published for 2015, there are
approximately 17540 franchised automotive dealerships in the United States. The second group is
considered independent dealers, which are not associated with a particular manufacturer. According to a
report by IBIS World Industry Research published May 2016, there are 128,850 independent used car
dealerships representing a total of $106 B worth of sales. Both market segments are profitable for
Carswipe and it will target both through a combination of business development and strategic
partnerships.

9
Strategy & Implementation Summary

The strategy of Carswipe may be segmented into three primary activities including conversions for
consumers, conversions for dealers, and research & development. The dealership conversion efforts will
primarily consist of business development through personal selling and having account managers to
represent clients by geographic area and size. The consumer level conversion will primarily be done
through in-app marketing, mobile application search optimization, display marketing on car related
websites, and behavioral targeting of consumers who have expressed an interest in car buying based on
their search behavior.

The third component of the business strategy focuses on the mobile application development. The
technology will be regularly refined in order to adapt to the dynamic mobile landscape. The preferences
and behavior of mobile consumers has been known to be dynamic based upon the hardware capabilities
and application preferences. For instance, larger screens, more accessible mobile plans, and more
powerful processes make many mobile phones a substitute for activities that would otherwise be done
on a PC. Hence, the mobile application market will continue to transform and staying relevant means
adapting to consistently be ahead of the curve for consumer preferences.

SWOT Analysis

Strengths

• Functional application that has been positively received by users.


• Efficient and time-saving application for consumers as well as car dealers.
• Management team that has a technical background and understanding of the automotive industry.
• High profit margin business model that is very lean and scalable.
• Enterprise level clients that are more stable than consumer mobile applications.
• The swiping business model has proven to be highly successful with Millennial consumers.

Weaknesses

• Desire funding for extensive promotional activities in order to enhance the user base.
• Need sales agents to promote the product to automotive dealers.
• Competitors that have a strong brand reputation that the company must build.
• The company most move quickly in order to close-out prospective competitors in the market.
• The company may work with individuals attempting to sell their car directly.
• Continual improvement upon the underlying algorithms could lead to a social component.
• Underlying data could be collected from the application and sold in order for car manufacturers.

Opportunities

• The dealership marketing services market has grown substantially in the past decade.
• The existing options on the market are not aligned with modern selection techniques.
• Many dealerships are highly competitive and always in need of more qualified leads.
• The pay per lead and monthly payment model is flexible for dealerships.

Threats

• New and existing competitors could enhance their products to compete more directly.
• Dealerships may be deterred from the expense associated with the application.
• Consumers may choose to utilize ride-sharing services rather than purchasing automobiles.

13
Competitive Comparison

Within the automotive industry, there are numerous competitors that attempt to promote cars with print,
desktop, and mobile platforms. While many claim to be unique, they tend to follow a business structure that
relies on unverified listings that can be promoted for a specified fee structure. With that being noted, there
are three examples listed below that showcase major classes of competitors.

• Wyper: This is a mobile application that has an interface that is similar to CarSwipe. With this
application, the underlying search results are powered by a company known as AU.TO. Since the
underlying results are unverified and customer leads have been anonymized, revenue appears to be
primarily generated from the advertisements displayed. The estimated number of downloads on
Android devices is between one and five thousand. At the moment, this is the most significant
application that utilizes a swipe interface.

• Cars.com: This entity provides a traditional search method on both a mobile and a desktop platform.
With this service, revenue is generated primarily from dealerships and individuals that are
attempting to sell their vehicles. The estimated number of downloads on Android devices is between
one and five million. While this is an example of a successful platform, it is relatively undifferentiated
with many other applications that perform similar services.

• TrueCar: This entity provides an option for consumers to search for automobiles on both a mobile
and a desktop platform. The main mantra of this company is to provide transparent information for
consumers in order to avoid traditional haggling techniques. This service receives revenue from
certified dealers, automobile manufacturers, and third-party service providers. The estimated
number of downloads on Android devices is between one and five million. Given the success of this
application, it is interesting to note that there does not seem to be any other platforms that has
garnered success through price transparency.

In contrast, CarSwipe is an application that utilizes verified listings from car dealers and entertains buyers
with a convenient and entertaining format. Ultimately, the goal of this application is to be the #1 car buying
and selling mobile resource.

14
Marketing Plan

The marketing efforts of CarSwipe may be divided into two segments including enterprise dealership clients
and individual retail consumers. The enterprise dealership clients may be acquired through the formation of
strategic partnerships with dealership marketing agencies and other synergistic companies. A business
development team will also represent the company when approaching new dealerships to offer leads to be
generated.

Promotion Strategy

Targeted Marketing

This application will be promoted primarily through advertisements within social media applications that
allow efficient customer acquisitions to occur. While the focus on individual services may vary, it is important
to keep in mind the ideal target market. In this case, it happens to be millennials that are interested in
purchasing automobiles.

Public Relations

In order to build a positive brand image, public relation activities are quite important. In essence, expenses
will be incurred by the company in order to satisfy potential customer complaints as well as questions
regarding the services offered by CarSwipe. Simply put, these will be operational expenses that may or may
not require the utilization of full-time help.

Direct Sales

Hiring sales representatives will contribute towards the success of CarSwipe by enabling direct selling aimed
at convincing car dealerships to pay for high-quality leads that could lead to higher dealership sales. While
the representative responsibilities will include a variety of sales tactics, it is important for them to remember
that their goal is to add value to both dealers and consumers. By understanding this motive, it will lead these
salespeople to showcase principles of integrity and a motivational attitude.

15
Financial Projections

The following set of financial projections provide a three-year projection period based on an initial investment of
$2,000,000 at a valuation of $10,000,000 offering 20% of preferred equity. Given the estimates set-forth in the
financial projections this would deliver a payback period within five years and a return on equity in excess of 81%.
For the valuation, a EBITDA multiple of 13.3 based on the industry standard for Internet Businesses of similar
comparable acquisition of consumer facing mobile applications with stable enterprise client with a discount rate
of 7.0%. In actuality, the multiple from a strategic acquirer could be as high as 40 times earnings.

Wages & Payroll

Most expenses will be allocated towards development and sales. The employees will be paid competitive
wages so that the company can acquire and retain top talent and compete with large competitors. As the
company grows, it may work in options and bonuses into the salaries, but will focus on a straight full-time
salary with benefits for employees.

Projected Balance Sheet

The projected balance sheet assumes that there are no dividend draws and all cash flow is re-invested
back into the company at the end of the year. The balance sheet does not assume any line of credits or
account receivables that are outstanding at the end of the year and that the company will have paid off
all liabilities. Likewise, it assumes that all accounts will pay within thirty-days and there will be no
delinquency of payments.
