PRIMARY RESEARCH:
The idea of this business came from when we realized that we have our own designer so we can
utilise this opportunity into profit.
She has done some eminent work for her thesis also her hardworking efforts grabbed exhibition's
atention in the final year.
Designs of kurtis were so beautiful with different unique colours. Some of shirts were sold out in
the exhibition because of uniqueness. Audience came to us privately and gave us order according to
their desired colour, print and size. Se we thought if we offer as per customer desire and their
imaginary colours it would actually work in the market because some brands do promises but not
fulfil it. So this is our strength to provide good quality of product with customization.
The Primary research is realistic according to the feedback of exhibition and customer demand.
SECONDARY RESEARCH:
We have done our research on the clothing brand and also found a gap in the market regarding
service issues, customize print issues, colour range is very limited.
We also jot down some reviews about our competitor who are working in this field for so long, in
the initial stage they faced some problems to be in a recognition of customers afterwards promises
about delivery, quality was not up to the mark over all Comments about market were positive
because most of the brands are working same like others. We have differentiated our idea with on
time delivery of product including customization in colour and size of your own choice. our first
priority to provide everything which is based on customer demand.
LEGAL STRUCTURE:
We decided to go with Partnership type of business.Following are the main reasons why we chose
Partnership as a structure of our business.
Collaboration:
As compared to a sole proprietorship, which is essentially the same business form but with only
one owner, a partnership offers the advantage of allowing the owners to draw on the resources and
expertise of the co-partners. Running a business on your own, while simpler, can also be a constant
struggle. But with partners to share the responsibilities and lighten the workload, members of a
partnership often find that they have more time for the other activities in their lives.
Tax advantages:
The profits of a partnership pass through to its owners, who report their share on their individual
tax returns. Therefore, the profits are only taxed once (at the personal level of its owners) rather
than twice, as is the case with corporations, which are taxed at the corporate level and then again at
the personal level when dividends are distributed to the shareholders. The benefits of single
taxation can also be secured by forming an S corporation (although some ownership restrictions
apply) or by forming a limited liability company (a new hybrid of corporations and partnerships
that is still evolving).
7
Simple operating structure:
A partnership, as opposed to a corporation, is fairly simple to establish and run. No forms need to
be filed or formal agreements drafted (although it is advisable to write a partnership agreement in
the event of future disagreements). The most that is ever required is perhaps filing a partnership
certificate with a state office in order to register the business's name and securing a business
license. As a result, the annual filing fees for corporations, which can sometimes be very
expensive, are avoided when forming a partnership.
Flexibility:
Because the owners of a partnership are usually its managers, especially in the case of a small
business, the company is fairly easy to manage, and decisions can be made quickly without a lot of
bureaucracy. This is not the case with corporations, which must have shareholders, directors, and
officers, all of whom have some degree of responsibility for making major decisions.
Acquisition of capital:
Partnerships generally have an easier time acquiring capital than corporations because partners,
who apply for loans as individuals, can usually get loans on better terms. This is because partners
guarantee loans with their personal assets as well as those of the business. As a result, loans for a
partnership are subject to state usury laws, which govern loans for individuals. Banks also perceive
partners to be less of a risk than corporations, which are only required to pledge the business's
assets. In addition, by forming a limited partnership, the business can attract investors (who will not
be actively involved in its management and who will enjoy limited liability) without having to form
a corporation and sell stock.
8
Documents required for the Registration of our Partnership:
In order to register a partnership all we need to do is submit the following documents to the
office of the Registrar of Firms in our City/District:
LOCATION:
In the initial stage we’ll start our business from home. Which would be completely online
based afterwards when business will be settled down then we’ll go for our physical
premises.

For Second and Third Year:
Summary: The materials budget (or materials purchases budget) is used to plan how much raw
materials we need to have available to meet budgeted production. This budget is prepared similarly
to the production budget as the AESTHETIC APPAREL must decide how much raw materials
inventory they want to have on hand at the end of each quarter. This is typically determined as a
percent of next quarter’s material needs. In a materials budget, we will deal with units first and then
add the budgeted cost near the end. We also need to know how many direct materials are needed
for each unit.
At the end of first quarter, we have a little less budget of production the, reduction of 1200
rupees comparatively to the previous months. Similarly the next two quarters are left with the less
amount in the last months comparative to their first months, but at the end of last quarter the fourth
quarter the production budget first and second month was low in comparison with its last
month. The Aesthetic Apparel’s second year production cost was greater in its third year
comparative to its second year

MARKETING MIX:
Consumers are getting quickly immune to the marketing tactics of businesses, and margins are
being squeezed by demanding customers. Focus is getting shifted from mass advertising to making
of new trends. Clothing industry is a very competitive arena. Due to the highly fragmented nature
of apparels, and fashion sector, an apparel brand must differentiate itself from its competitors right
from the stage it enters the market.
Price:
In case of apparels, especially in fashion, price is not of big importance. Gone are the times when
companies competed on price. Service is the key today which will shift to focus on personality in
the future. Innovative designs are no longer a competitive advantage. New sketches are
transformed into garments and make their way in store shelves within a span of three weeks. New
disposable fashion has shortened the product development cycle from 16 months to 20 days.
Promotion:
In integrated communication is as essential part of the marketing mix. This is even more
Important for clothing industry as communication is a critical tool in creating an impression in the
minds of the consumers. An apparel, to become acceptable by public must first be adopted by a
group which has acknowledged respect in the society. Celebrities are the most influential people
who can influence public opinion. CPR (Consumer Personal Reference) marketing refers to the
process of marketing where a customer publicizes a brand by accepting the product and spreading
the trend by word of mouth.
Product:
Product not only refers to tangible items but also to intangible attributes such as brand name and
customer service. Earlier it was believed that a good product will sell itself. Intoday’scompetitive
market, there is no such commodity as bad product. So, manufacturers must focus on creating a
product or service that will satisfy the demands of the consumers. The product characteristics must
be defined with functionality, quality, appearance, brand service, support and warranty.
Place:
Apart from price and quality, the place of distribution must also be taken into consideration while creating
a right marketing mix, as the apparel industry is primarily based on perception. Store
designs must be deployed to create an elegant atmosphere emphasizing a brand image and
reflecting current trends. But in the initial stage it should be started from online afterwards business
premises can be taken. Focus must also be kept on the distribution processes and partners, without
which even excellent products will fail. Big revolutions in business have come about by changing
place. Location, logistics, channel motivation, service levels, and channel members must be taken
into consideration.
Our starting range of our Apparel will be around 2000-4000 excluding delivery and stitching
cost. Also we are providing customization. Everything you want as per your imagination In our
service we’re providing Delivery, Stitching services, if customer wants to return something so
they have 24 hours to make a final decision.
22
SWOT ANALYSIS:
Strength:
Perhaps one of our strongest points of strength could be attributed to the quality of our product,
we have our own designer who can make every possible design as per customer demand we
don’t need to go for external hiring for this purpose as it’s costly.
Weakness:
A major weakness that may count against us is the fact that we are a new clothing line company
and we don’t have the financial capacity to compete with multi – billion dollars fashion labels
like: Khaadi, Sana Safinaz, Gul ahmed et al when it comes to controlling the market.
Opportunities:
One thing is certain, whether good or bad, people will always look for clothes to wear; the
opportunity for clothing line to sell their clothes is massive and we hope to leverage on these
opportunities. We also will increase our product line with multiple accessories.
Threat:
Just like any other business, one of the major threats that we are likely going to face is economic
downturn. It is a fact that economic downturn affects purchasing power. Another threat that may
likely confront us is the arrival of a new clothing line who may want to adopt same business
model like us.
23
CONCLUSION:
We would like to conclude that Aesthetic Apparel has the potential to provide its customers the
best quality of fabric and prints in their own choice of colours with a good time management.
There is no limitations to their choice in combinations and type of fabric too.
It is the service based business and an online business we will conduct all our activities on online
basis.We are offering stitching facility to our customers and promise to deliver their order within
a given time
