6. SWOT Analysis

Due to our drive for excellence when it comes to running a standard chalk production business, we were able to engage some of the finest business consultants in Nigeria to look through our business concept and together we were able to critically examine the prospect of the business and to access ourselves to be sure we have what it takes to run a standard chalk production business that can compete favorably in the chalk production line of business in Africa.

In view of that, we were able to take stock of our strengths, our weakness, our opportunities and also the threats that we are likely going to be exposed to in Nigeria and also in other parts of the world that we intend selling our chalks. Here is a of what we got from the critically conducted SWOT Analysis Uchenna & Sons Chalk Production Company;

Our strength lies in the fact that we have state of the art chalk production facility and equipment that has positioned us to meet the demand of chalk in Nigeria even if the demand tripled over night or if we have a massive order to meet and emergency need.

Another factor that counts to our advantage is the background of our Chief Executive Office; he has a robust experience in the industry and also a pretty good academic qualification to match the experience acquired which has placed her amongst the top flight business men in Nigeria. We are not ignoring the fact that our team of highly qualified and dedicated workers will also serve as strength for our organization

We do not take for granted the facts that we have weaknesses. In fact, the reality that we are setting up a chalk production company in a city with other smaller and larger chalk production businesses might likely pose a challenge for us in breaking into the already saturated market in Nigeria.

In essence our chosen location might be our weakness. But never the less, we have plans to launch out with a big bang. We know with that, we will be able to create a positive impression and we have a proper handle when it comes to building on already gather momentum.

  • Opportunities:

The opportunities available to us are unlimited. Loads of people make use of chalk on a daily basis and all what we are going to do to push our chalk to them is already perfected. Aba in Abia state is just ideal for chalk production business because of the creativity and readily available technology and labor in Aba – Abia State.

The threat that is likely going to confront us is the fact that we are competing with already established chalk production businesses in Abia State and also there are other entrepreneurs who are likely going to launch similar business within the location of our business.

Of course, they will compete with us in winning over the available market. Another threat that we are likely going to face is unfavorable government policies and economic downturn. Usually economic downturn affects purchasing / spending powers and unfavorable government policies.

7. MARKET ANALYSIS

  • Market Trends

It is common trend in the chalk production line of business to find chalk production companies positioning their business in locations and communities where they can easily have access to chalk making raw materials and labor.

If you make the mistake of positioning this type of business in a location where you would have to travel a distance before you can access chalk making raw materials in commercial quantities, then you would have to struggle to make profits and maintain your overhead and logistics.

So also another trend in this line of business is that most registered and well organized chalk production companies look beyond the market within their locations or even Nigeria; they are involved in packaging and exporting chalks to other countries in Africa where there is a large market for chalk.

8. Our Target Market

When it comes to retailing chalk, there is indeed a wide range of available customers. In essence, our target market can’t be restricted to just a group of people, but all those who make use of chalk for teaching and also all those artisans who also make use of chalk for marking.

Our Competitive Advantage

This is so because the technology involved in the production of chalk is not complicated.

As a standard chalk production company, we know that gaining a competitive edge requires a detailed analysis of the demographics of the surrounding area and the nature of existing competitors. And even if you are successful at first, new competitors could enter your market at any time to steal your regular customers. Hence we will not hesitate to adopt successful and workable strategies from our competitors.

We are going to be one of the very few chalk production companies in Aba – Abia State that will also engage in wholesale distribution of white chalks and colored chalks all across Nigeria and also export to other countries in Africa.

Another competitive advantage that we have is the vast experience of our management team, we have people on board who are highly experienced and understands how to grow business from the scratch to becoming a national phenomenon. Our large and robust distribution network and of course our excellent customer service culture will definitely count as a strong strength for the business.

Lastly, our employees will be well taken care of, and their welfare package will be among the best within our category (startups chalk production companies) in the industry, meaning that they will be more than willing to build the business with us and help deliver our set goals and achieve all our aims and objectives.

3. Pour the solution into the mould.

WARNING: The mixed solution must be used immediately. It must be poured into the chalk mould. If not, it is wasted.

Shake the mould and use your hand to guide the solution as you’re pouring to ensure it reaches all the base of the mould, filling it completely.

NB: The mould must have been cleaned and coupled back before preparing the solution.

As we are an honest and well-paying essay writer service, writers come flying our way. Nonetheless, in the writers' community, we are known for our strict selection process. You as a client can be sure that you will be working with the best paper writer in the game no matter your subject or the difficulty of the task as all our writers go through testing and have their degrees checked. Only 3% of all applicants are accepted to work with us and even these 3% have a training program and a two-month trial period ahead. We value our reputation and only hire true experts with years of experience in academic writing behind their backs. Nonetheless, being a professional writers service has its challenges. For example, as our employer expectations are high, not all writers can handle the challenge of creating zero-plagiarism essay writing content in a short time frame, so as leading writing services we must keep everything in control.

Is essay writing service legal?

Essay writing services are legal if the company has passed a number of necessary checks and is licensed. This area is well developed and regularly monitored by serious services. If a private person offers you his help for a monetary reward, then we would recommend you to refuse his offer. A reliable essay writing service will always include terms of service on their website. The terms of use describe the clauses that customers must agree to before using a product or service. The best online essay services have large groups of authors with diverse backgrounds. They can complete any type of homework or coursework, regardless of field of study, complexity, and urgency.

When you contact the company Essayswriting, the support service immediately explains the terms of cooperation to you. You can control the work of writers at all levels, so you don't have to worry about the result. To be sure of the correctness of the choice, the site contains reviews from those people who have already used the services.

Our Team of Essay Writers.

Some students worry about whether an appropriate author will provide essay writing services to them. With our company, you do not have to worry about this. All of our authors are professionals. You will receive a no less-than-great paper by turning to us. Our writers and editors must go through a sophisticated hiring process to become a part of our team. All the candidates pass the following stages of the hiring process before they become our team members:

  • Diploma verification. Each essay writer must show his/her Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. diploma.
  • Grammar test. Then all candidates complete an advanced grammar test to prove their language proficiency.
  • Writing task. Finally, we ask them to write a small essay on a required topic. They only have 30 minutes to complete the task, and the topic is not revealed in advance.
  • Interview. The final stage is a face-to-face interview, where our managers test writers' soft skills and find out more about their personalities.

So we hire skilled writers and native English speakers to be sure that your project's content and language will be perfect. Also, our experts know the requirements of various academic styles, so they will format your paper appropriately.

Is buying essays online safe?

Shopping through online platforms is a highly controversial issue. Naturally, you cannot be completely sure when placing an order through an unfamiliar site, with which you have never cooperated. That is why we recommend that people contact trusted companies that have hundreds of positive reviews.

As for buying essays through sites, then you need to be as careful as possible and carefully check every detail. Read company reviews on third-party sources or ask a question on the forum. Check out the guarantees given by the specialists and discuss cooperation with the company manager. Do not transfer money to someone else's account until they send you a document with an essay for review.

Good online platforms provide certificates and some personal data so that the client can have the necessary information about the service manual. Service employees should immediately calculate the cost of the order for you and in the process of work are not entitled to add a percentage to this amount, if you do not make additional edits and preferences.

What if I’m unsatisfied with an essay your paper service delivers?

As we have previously mentioned, we value our writers' time and hard work and therefore require our clients to put some funds on their account balance. The money will be there until you confirm that you are fully satisfied with our work and are ready to pay your paper writer. If you aren't satisfied, we'll make revisions or give you a full refund.
