InteliChild Business Plan
1.0 Executive Summary

Introduction
InteliChild.c om offers bright children an entertaining plac e to interac t with eac h other, the
Web, educators, and the world in general. It generates traffic first, valuation for investors, and
eventually commerce and profits. It is a healthy plac e for kids to play, for parents and sc hools to
buy, and a creative and fair work environment for employees.
The InteliChild.c om e-commerce projec t is the natural evolution for the InteliChild.c om Internet
presence. The site will market and sell selec ted toys, books, and software products. It will also
produce Web products and Web applications that will increase market share, promote name
rec ognition, and maximize efficiency.
The Company
The present InteliChild.c om is a start-up company with four full-time employees. The company
was incorporated as a California C corporation owned by its principal founders, at 25% ownership
each. (Name Omitted) Capital partners ac quired 50% of the company. The company has a
single office. The initial website is at www.citruscoolkids.com.
Our key competitive advantage is the in-house knowledge base we have developed. Our
competitor spends five to 10 times the amount of money we do outsourcing to expensive
companies for services we perform in-house. The same will take plac e with the InteliChild.c om
website. We already have the SQL™ server and ColdFusion™ programming expertise, and we
will be adding the Flash™ integration of these skills.
Products and Services
InteliChild will be offering a steadily increasing mix of three lines of products:
· Toys and Games: carefully selec ted toys and games that appeal to the target market,
the parents of the target market, and educators.
· Books: there should be a selec tion of books that appeal specifically to the parents and
educators of the target market, so that these interested adults can go to this site and
order books about their children. In addition, of course there is also a selec tion of books
to be ordered by and for the kids to read.
· Software: carefully selec ted software to appeal to the target market and target
parents and educators.
The Internet reinvents itself every three months, or even faster. Therefore, our strategy for
future development is to remain positioned with enough flexibility to adapt new technologies, and
adapt to changes quickly.
The Market
The InteliChild.c om market has been expanding exponentially with the advances of tec hnology
in the teac hing sectors and the ac ceptance of tec hnology as a teaching aid. The critical
component to our entrance into the market will be approval and support from the sc hool
communities - including teachers, the PTA, and special education programs.
Our primary target markets include these four areas:

Page 1
1. The kids themselves.
2. Parents.
3. Educational institutions for children of the upper class.
4. Self-teac hing families.
While we have plans to expand into international territory, our initial launch will target our most
important market - the American upper class. We know that most of our clients drive BMW's
and have very good taste - they spend money on their children bec ause they can apprec iate
the technology that we have created. They also generally have high bandwidth c onnec tions,
and are impressed by first-class design.
Financial Considerations
Our start-up costs are high bec ause of our commitment to dominate the Internet market plac e.
The Break-even Analysis indicates we reach steady-state break-even in this first year.
The sales forec ast is based on increasing website traffic and increasing sales per unique user
session. Sales are projec ted to rise exponentially from Year 1 to Year 3. The forec ast obviously
depends on traffic increase. We plan to lose money for at least three years while we build traffic
and develop our position for the long-term future.
1.1 Objectives
· Traffic, as measured in unique user sessions: 100,000 unique user sessions in June,
Year 1; 450,000 in Dec ember, Year 1; 3.5 million in Year 2; and 5 million in Year 3.
· Sell-through, as measured in dollar sales per unique visit: a high of $0.58 per unique visit
in Dec ember of Year 1; increasing to $0.83 in Year 2; and $0.92 in Year 3.
Page 2
· Valuation, as measured in ability to bring in additional investment at economically

feasible valuations. We need to attrac t moderate investment this year, and an additional
large infusion in Year 2, with valuation performance that yields attrac tive internal rate
of return (IRR) to investors. The financial section indicates IRR of more than 100% for all
investors, with larger IRR for seed, dec lining slightly for first round and then second
round.
· Ac quisition or Initial public offering (IPO) in Year 4, with a valuation of more than $20
million. This assumes of course the market valuations based on sales and earnings,
which are relatively high as this plan is written.
1.2 Mission
InteliChild.c om offers bright children an entertaining plac e to interac t with eac h other, the
Web, educators, and the world in general. It generates traffic first, valuation for investors, and
eventually commerce and profits. It is a healthy plac e for kids to play, for parents and sc hools to
buy, and a creative and fair work environment for employees.
1.3 Keys to Success

1. We must retain the customers. The website has to be easy to use and quickly
viewable. User satisfac tion is an ultimate priority.
2. The projec t will succeed if it can capitalize on the traffic that InteliChild.c om produces,
and turn the user sessions into dollars through the commerce site.
3. The sales proc ess must be easy to administer and flexible enough to ac commodate the
needs of InteliChild, which is not ready to take on more employees to do so.
4. The e- commerce projec t should further establish InteliChild.c om presence as a

technology leader, not only returning traffic but ac tually bringing in new traffic.
2.0 Company Summary

The present InteliChild.c om is a start-up company with four full time employees. We are a high-
powered team of creative individuals. The company creates an Internet environment attrac tive
to bright kids, and is planning to sell toys, books, and software to those kids, their parents,
and sc hools. Our products will be the best reviewed in our niche.
2.1 Start-up Summary

Our start-up costs reflec t of our commitment to dominate the Internet market plac e.
Our development costs are high, but bec ause we are now loc ated in Oregon instead of the
Silicon Valley, our human resources costs are not as high as they might be - particularly for the
Page 3
talented programmers that we need. Marketing expenses are also high, but spending on the
costly development of this site without promoting it appropriately would make it difficult to
gather together the traffic necessary to make this a success.
Our loc ation leverages our partner potential, even though we are paying a premium for space
and for talent due to development costs.

2.2 Company Ownership

The company was incorporated as a California C corporation owned by its principal founders, at
Page 5
25% ownership eac h. (Name Omitted) Capital partners ac quired 50% of the company.
2.3 Company Locations and Facilities

The company has a single office. Its important website and Internet infrastructure situation is
explained in detail later in this plan. The initial website is at www.citruscoolkids.com.
3.0 Products
InteliChild will be offering a steadily increasing mix of three lines of products:
1. Toys and Games: carefully selec ted toys and games that appeal to the target market,
the parents of the target market, and educators.
2. Books: there should be a selec tion of books that appeal specifically to the parents and
educators of the target market, so that these interested adults can go to this site and
order books about their children. In addition, of course there is also a selec tion of
books to be ordered by and for the kids to read.
3. Software: carefully selec ted software to appeal to the target market and target
parents and educators.
3.1 Product Description

In the original plan this is a detailed description of the specific toys and games, books, and
software that are included on the website. This level of detail was considered proprietary and
was removed from the plan for purposes of illustration. If you are using this sample plan as an
example, then insert here a detailed list of your own products for your own plan.
3.2 Competitive Comparison

In the original plan this is a detailed description of and analysis of other channels and sources
from which the target market and parents and educators can purchase toys, games, books,
and software. It describes in general some kinds of toy shops, and then spec ifically some
catalog and web businesses that appeal to this audience.
This level of detail was considered proprietary and was removed from the plan for purposes of
illustration. If you are using this sample plan as an example, then insert here a detailed
description of your competitors for your plan.
3.3 Sales Literature

Our answer to sales literature is the web. Within six months we should also have a printed
catalog that we can send to people to go along with the Web purchasing proc ess, bec ause some
Page 6
buyers will want to refer to a hard-copy catalog.
3.4 Sourcing
In the real plan this section referred in detail to distributors and products they carried. This
detail was considered proprietary and strategic, and was omitted from the sample plan for
purposes of illustration. If you are using this plan as an example, then in this section you
should have detailed disc ussion of how the products to be sold can be purchased from
manufac turers and distributors.
3.5 Technology
The InteliChild.c om e-commerce site will be built on a three-tier structure. Driven by SQL™
servers and an IIS™ Web server bac ked with bandwidth, the site will be coded mostly in
ColdFusion™ and ASP™. We will be taking our registration databases live to be able to email
updates on products and the website to customers. We will offer customers the option to take
themselves out of the list.
The information architec ture will be based on four fundamental arenas - the free valuable
information arena, the product detail arena, the final purchasing arena, and the purchase
administration area.
The purchase arena will require a Verisign™ certificate and a Cybercash™ connec tion. That will
begin immediately bec ause dealing with Cybercash™ can sometimes be a lengthy proc ess.
The administrative arena will be hosted on mirror servers that query to the live databases for
migration into loc al databases. This server is hidden from Internet traffic and kept under high
security even within the company.
The entire set-up will be somewhat costly. We will need five servers, two for in-house
reasons, and three for Web hosting reasons. Two of the Web host servers will be serving
traffic through ColdFusion™ and ASP™ in c luster, and the third will be a dedicated SQL™ server.
3.6 Future Products

The Internet reinvents itself every three months, or even faster. Our strategy for future
development is to remain positioned with enough flexibility to adapt new tec hnologies, and adapt
to changes quickly.
4.0 Market Analysis Summary

The InteliChild.c om market has been expanding exponentially with the advances of tec hnology
in the teac hing sectors and the ac ceptance of tec hnology as a teaching aid. The critical
component to our entrance into the market will be approval and support from the sc hool
Page 7
communities - including teachers, the PTA, and special education programs.
4.1 Market Segmentation

Our primary target markets include these four areas:
1. The kids themselves. We include ages 5-9 and ages 10-14 in our market statistics
bec ause these are the breakdowns available at www.census.gov, and we include only
10% of the total in eac h c ategory.
2. Parents. We include 10% of the parents, assuming that leads to an average combined
income above $100,000. Most of these people live in suburban areas, but the urban upper
class is also a major component. [Editor note: details for this sample plan are not
necessarily correc t.]
3. Educational institutions for the children of the upper class. This includes day care
and private sc hools. Penetrating this market is excellent bec ause it generates leads to
our other targets. We include 107,000 sc hools in the U.S. in our table.
4. Self-teaching families. There is an excellent group of established customers who

teac h their children from home. The site will benefit greatly from the time available from
this target group.

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

While we have plans to expand into international territory, our initial launch will target our most
important market - the American upper class. We know that most of our clients drive BMW's
and have very good taste - they spend money on their children bec ause they can apprec iate
the technology that we have created. They also generally have high bandwidth c onnec tions,
and are impressed by first-class design.
4.2.1 Market Trends

The market for intelligent tec hnological teaching devices is growing exponentially. The key
fac tors driving this growth are the increase in salaries in the tec hnology sectors, the double-
income household and the loss of leisure time. Hardworking parents are dedicated to giving
their children every educational opportunity possible. Our target market's behavioral patterns are
changing dramatically as well - research used to happen in many plac es; now increasingly it
happens on the Internet.
4.2.2 Market Growth

The mac ro-environment is the real reason for the urgency of the InteliChild.c om e- commerce
projec t. All trends in our market indicate that strong a Web presence will not be a frivolous extra
for the company, but rather, an absolute necessity. As mentioned before, the double- income
family in the tec hnological sector is doing their research on the Internet. In order to survive,
InteliChild.c om must be present as a destination for these search results.
Page 9
4.2.3 Market Needs

The InteliChild.c om website will have to reflec t its product line - simultaneously fun, easy to
use and informative. In order to gain rec ognition for our site efforts, we are going to have to put
together a site that is worthy of attention. The design work should promote the feeling of
superior quality. The InteliChild.c om attitude will match the company's inherent value drive -
parents and educators will feel guilty not buying into these products.
4.3 Industry Analysis

The website industry is exploding. Growth is absurd, amazing. We don't have business reasons to
detail this situation in this plan, our readers are aware of it.
4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

This is sample text describing fac tors in c ompetition for website use by bright children ages 8-
14, for sales to their parents and sc hools. It details information available about the importance
of fac tors such as pricing, shipment, quality, presentation, etc.
4.3.2 Main Competitors

Our competition is the market leader - and their success is a symbol of our potential market.
We were pleased to see their Web division spin-off to its own c ompany that went public with a
tremendous initial offering. The market is too large for them to cover entirely, and as a second-
best in dollar market share, with better reviews from the critical industry leaders, InteliChild.
com stands in a position to expand our business significantly.
4.3.3 Industry Participants

This is sample text describing the different companies addressing the same target market. The
real plan included details on which c ompanies sell products (toys, books, or games) into this
market. It includes who owns them, how much market share they get (according to available
information sources), and what we know about their assorted business models.
4.3.4 Distribution Patterns

This is sample text describing the different websites addressing the same target market. The real
plan included details identifying these websites, who owns them, how much traffic they get
(according to available information sources), and their assorted business models.
Page 10
5.0 Web Plan Summary

The primary InteliChild.c om strategy is to build an impressive destination website. The
marketing of the site will be built around the core value that the site will offer. Although our
competition has built a simple store for ordering the product, the InteliChild.c om site will be
reviewed by Web award companies as a great destination. We will build our revenue and
market share around this traffic.
Our business model is based on the sales of our products over the website. Bec ause the site is
also intended to increase brand equity and awareness, we are building for high traffic. Our model
requires giving users an excellent free experience and to develop trust to increase sell-
through. We plan to lose money for at least three years while we build traffic and develop our
position for the long-term future.
The traffic forec ast is based on increasing sessions, increasing page views per session, and
increasing orders per session. The bottom line called "sell-through" is the overall dollars in
order per user session, an important indicator that should be increasing over time.
5.1 Website Marketing Strategy

Our first class design and product quality are critical to our positioning as a dot-com company
- we should be the best reviewed website in our category, and that will bec ome the key to
future sales. In the past, our design work and marketing has not matched our better-funded
competitor. However, the core experience for the children has always been better, and with a
new design team and a round of financing, the InteliChild.c om company is ready to grow with the
market. InteliChild.c om will distinguish itself from its competitor as a full learning center, rather
than just a store front.
5.2 Development Requirements

Of course the development needs to match the overall business strategy as explained in the rest
of the plan. This has to be an excellent site or we just haven't implemented. That involves both
front-end and bac k-end strategies, as explained in the following topics.
Front End
Bec ause InteliChild.c om's target customers are all affluent, we have the luxury of using the
latest technologies to impress the visitors with excellent design and animation. We plan to
release the site entirely in Shockwave™ format as almost 90% of our visitors will already have
it installed.
We will carry on the colorful and extremely well branded design of our company literature and
logo - the dec isions on basic aesthetics will not get in the way. The site will have a colorful and
intelligent design, taking the ad campaign and product art into an interac tive medium on the
Web.
Back End
Page 11
The InteliChild.c om e-commerce site will be built on a three-tier structure. Driven by SQL™
servers and an IIS™ Web server bac ked with bandwidth, the site will be coded mostly in
ColdFusion™ and ASP™. We will be taking our registration databases live to be able to email
updates on products and the website to customers. We will offer customers the option to take
themselves out of the list.
The purchase arena will require a Verisign™ certificate and a Cybercash™ connec tion. That will
begin immediately bec ause dealing with Cybercash™ can sometimes be a lengthy proc ess.
The administrative arena will be hosted on mirror servers that query to the live databases for
migration into loc al databases. This server is hidden from Internet traffic and kept under high
security even within the company.
The entire set-up will be somewhat costly. We will need five servers, two for in-house
reasons, and three for Web hosting reasons. Two of the Web host servers will be serving
traffic through ColdFusion™ and ASP™ in c luster, and the third will be a dedicated SQL™ server.
6.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

This is sample text only. The original was very proprietary, describing the company strategy in
detail. This is sample text only.
6.1 Strategy Pyramid

6.2 Competitive Edge

Our key competitive advantage is the in-house knowledge base we have developed. Our
competitor spends five to 10 times the amount of money we do out-sourcing to expensive
companies for services we perform in-house. The same will take plac e with the InteliChild.c om
website. We already have the SQL™ server and ColdFusion™ programming expertise, and we
will be adding the Flash™ integration of these skills.
6.3 Sales Strategy

6.3.1 Sales Forecast

The sales forec ast in the following table and charts is based on increasing website traffic and
Page 12
increasing sales per unique user session. Sales are projec ted to rise exponentially from 2000
through 2002. The forec ast obviously depends on traffic increase.

The milestones graphic illustrates key implementation ac tivities. The most important milestone to
reach will be the design templates. During that time we will be putting together the bac k-end
phases, and both milestones should be ac hieved at the same time. After that point, integration
can begin between the bac k-end and the front-end phases. Our next milestone will be the beta
release, followed by the full launch two weeks later.

7.0 Management Summary

Our producer, Sonny Cieliblu, will head the InteliChild.c om projec t. This full-time position will
oversee all ac tivities for the projec t. Sonny interfac es with eac h partner and staff member.
This plac es Sonny in the role of administrator and coordinator of development and marketing
ac tivities, but also requires him to implement training and individual development ac tivities for
each partner. We all rec ognize the challenge Sonny fac es as an employee, coach, and
supervisor.
More sample text here, not useful for purposes of example, describing the people involved and
the management structure.
7.1 Organizational Structure

We need an agile organizational structure that rec ognizes the need for a smooth flow of ideas
and implementation between sales, marketing, and website development. We can't allow the
team to think as if these were separate functions.
On the surfac e, however, we have the president dealing with three direc t reports: admin/
finance, sales/marketing, and web development. In fac t we are not going to manage with a
strict hierarchy, bec ause we need to emphasize the team. Still, particularly as we grow in
size, structure is necessary. We will want to preserve dec ision-making power, and the ability
to ac t, rather than trying to do everything by consensus.

7.2 Management Team

Person 1: More sample text here, not useful for purposes of example, describing the people

7.3 Management Team Gaps

We agree that the most obvious weakness at this point is the lac k of seasoned professional
management with experience. This is what the investors call the "gray haired fac tor." We will
be looking to add more experience to the team as we build our administrative and financial
capabilities.
7.4 Personnel Plan

The following personnel plan details our plans for the ramp-up. We start with the four key
founders; by the end of 2000 we should have 14 people, and 18 by the end of 2002.

8.0 Financial Plan

This is an Internet venture that, of course, depends on the developing financial prospec ts of the
growing Internet world. To make it work financially, we need to increase valuation on sc hedule
to bring in substantial additional capital. The following table defines the investment offering for
investors. Spec ifically:
1. The exit strategy is ac quisition in 2003, valuing the company at more than $20 million.
2. Equity plan and valuations at time of exit are detailed in the section that follows, "Exit
Strategy." The plan assumes an ending valuation of $20 million based on market trends,
with IRR of more than 100% for all investors.
8.1 Important Assumptions

The general assumptions are listed in the following table. Obviously these are detailed financial
assumptions, trivial compared to the underlying critical assumptions, which include:
Page 19
1. Continued growth of Internet usage. We ac cept published forec asts that say 4% of
the world's population presently uses the Internet, and that will grow to 11% by 2005.
That's strong growth.
2. No e-commerce disaster sc enarios. We'll have no huge problems with c redit card
authorization, shipping, etc.
3. Continued support of financial markets, which means continued rise in valuations of
Internet companies, even Internet companies losing money. The increase in valuation is
critical to our financial strategy.
Table: General Assumptions

General Assumptions
Plan Month 1 2 3
Current Interest Rate 10.00% 10.00% 10.00%
Long-term Interest Rate 10.00% 10.00% 10.00%
Tax Rate 0.00% 0.00% 0.00%
Other 0 0 0
8.2 Key Financial Indicators

The following benchmarks chart indicates a very ambitious increase in sales and matching
increases in operating expenses. We expec t to improve ratios of inventory, payable days, and
collec tion days.
One of the more important assumptions is that we can increase sales at a very high rate without
corresponding increase in operating expenses. This is bec ause of the leverage available in use of
Internet technology as our main marketing and sales channel.
Page 20
8.3 Break-even Analysis

The break-even analysis is a good financial indicator. The following table and chart show
break-even based on sales level per month and a high monthly fixed cost. Given those
assumptions, we reach steady-state break-even by the end of this first year.
Table: Break-even Analysis

Break-even Analysis
Monthly Units Break-even 8,948

Monthly Revenue Break-even $264,916
Assumptions:
Average Per-Unit Revenue $29.61
Average Per-Unit Variable Cost $11.84
Estimated Monthly Fixed Cost $158,950
8.4 Projected Profit and Loss

Despite the present trend towards investors encouraging losses for website businesses, we
believe that we can turn a profit by the third year. We also intend to reduce losses significantly
in the second year, as shown by the following table. Nevertheless, the investment in on-line and
off-line advertising is substantial, and the traffic justifies the loss.
