B.2 Competitive Analysis

Figure 5: Porter’s Five Forces Analysis

Page 22 of 89
 Porter's Five Forces framework provides a comprehensive analysis of the competitive
forces within an industry, helping businesses understand the dynamics that shape competition
and profitability.

Threat of New Entrants (Moderate):

While the personal safety and security device industry offer opportunities for innovation
and new entrants, significant barriers to entry exist. These barriers include high initial capital
investment for research, development, and manufacturing, stringent regulatory requirements, and
the need for established distribution channels. However, the emergence of new technologies and
the growing demand for personal safety solutions may attract startups and tech companies to
enter the market.

Bargaining Power of Suppliers (Moderate):

Suppliers in the personal safety device industry, such as manufacturers of specialized
components, raw materials, and electronic components, hold moderate bargaining power. While
there are several suppliers available, certain components may be specialized or proprietary,
giving suppliers some leverage. SafeScript Innovations, Inc. must maintain strategic
relationships with suppliers to ensure a stable supply chain and mitigate the risk of disruptions.

Bargaining Power of Buyers (High):

Buyers, including consumers and retailers, wield significant bargaining power in the
personal safety device industry. With a wide range of products available in the market, buyers
can easily compare features, prices, and brands before making purchasing decisions.
Additionally, the increasing trend towards online shopping gives buyers even more power, as
they can quickly switch between brands and suppliers. SafeScript Innovations, Inc. must focus
on differentiation and value-added features to maintain competitive pricing and retain customer
loyalty.

Threat of Substitute Products (Moderate):

The threat of substitute products in the personal safety device industry varies depending
on the specific needs and preferences of consumers. While there may be alternative solutions for

Page 23 of 89
personal safety, such as self-defense classes or mobile safety apps, RescueWrite offers a unique
combination of features, including multifunctionality, durability, and portability, which may
mitigate the threat of substitutes. However, the company should remain vigilant about emerging
technologies and consumer preferences to stay ahead of potential substitutes.

Intensity of Competitive Rivalry (High):

The personal safety and security device industry are highly competitive, with numerous
players vying for market share. Competitors range from established brands with a wide product
portfolio to startups offering niche solutions. Factors contributing to intense competition include
price wars, product differentiation, marketing strategies, and technological innovation.
SafeScript Innovations, Inc. must continuously monitor competitors' activities, differentiate
RescueWrite through unique features and value propositions, and invest in marketing and brand
building to maintain a competitive edge.

While SafeScript Innovations, Inc. faces challenges from competitive forces and
changing market dynamics, its strategic positioning, commitment to innovation, and
understanding of Porter's Five Forces can help navigate the complexities of the personal safety
and security device industry and drive sustainable growth for RescueWrite.

C. MARKET SEGMENTATION

Market segmentation is a crucial strategy for businesses to effectively target and

communicate with specific groups of customers who share common characteristics. SafeScript
Innovations, Inc. recognizes the importance of segmentation in optimizing its marketing efforts
for its flagship product, RescueWrite, a multifunctional personal safety gadget.

 Demographic Segmentation: SafeScript considers demographic factors such as age, gender,

occupation, income level, and family status. By understanding the demographics of its target
audience, the company tailors its marketing messages and product features to appeal to

 Geographic Segmentation: Geographic characteristics such as climate, city or country,

Page 24 of 89
 population density, and proximity to specific locations are also considered. SafeScript
identifies geographical areas with higher demand for personal safety devices and customizes
its distribution and marketing strategies accordingly.
 Psychographic Segmentation: SafeScript delves into the psychographic traits of its target
market, including attitudes, values, interests, lifestyle, and motivations. By understanding the
psychographic profiles of its customers, the company can create personalized marketing
campaigns that resonate with their preferences and beliefs.
 Behavioral Segmentation: The behavioral characteristics of customers, such as purchasing
habits, brand loyalty, spending patterns, and user status, are crucial for SafeScript to
understand. By analyzing customer behavior, the company can identify segments with
varying needs and preferences and tailor its product offerings and marketing messages
accordingly.

To ensure the effectiveness of its segmentation strategy, SafeScript adheres to the

following characteristics of effective segmentation:
 Measurability: SafeScript estimates the spending behavior of each segment and
evaluates the potential return on investment for targeting specific segments.
 Substantiality: The company focuses on segments large enough to support its business
goals and generate sufficient revenue.

reachable through its marketing channels and distribution networks.
 Uniqueness: The company targets segments that are distinct from one another, allowing

D. INDUSTRY AND MARKET FORECAST

D.1 Industry Profile
The Philippines' market for self-defense products has grown steadily as a result of
growing concerns about security and personal safety. An annual growth rate of 6% is anticipated
for the market. Urbanization, increased knowledge of self-defense tactics, and the availability of
a large selection of self-defense products on the market are all considered contributing causes to
this growth (ResearchReports, 2023).

F. BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS

Contribution Margin per Unit = Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit
Contribution Margin per Unit = ₱600 - ₱250
Contribution Margin per Unit = ₱350

The amount from each sale that goes toward paying fixed costs and eventually producing
a profit is represented by the contribution margin per unit. It is computed in this instance by
deducting the selling price per unit (₱600) from the variable cost per unit (₱250), getting a
contribution margin per unit of ₱350.

Break-even Point in Units = Total Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin per Unit
Break-even Point in Units = ₱516,000 / ₱350
Break-even Point in Units ≈ 1,475

This shows how many units the company must sell to break even and pay its fixed
expenses. Approximately 1,475 units are obtained by dividing the total fixed expenditures
(₱516,000) by the contribution margin per unit (₱350).

Break-even Point in Revenue = Break-even Point in Units x Selling Price per Unit
Break-even Point in Revenue = 1,475 x ₱600
Break-even Point in Revenue = ₱885,000

This indicates that the business needs to sell approximately 1,475 units of the product to
generate revenue of around ₱885,000 to cover all its expenses and break even. Beyond this point,
any additional units sold or revenue generated will result in profit.

Gross Margin on Product

Gross Margin = (Revenue - COGS) / Revenue
Gross Margin = (1,512,000 - 630,000 / 1,512,000

Page 86 of 89
Gross Margin = 58.33%

The following formula computes the gross margin for SafeScript Innovations, Inc.'s
personal safety gadget, RescueWrite. A crucial financial indicator, gross margin shows the
proportion of revenue that exceeds the cost of goods sold (COGS). Showing the percentage of
revenue that goes toward paying other operational costs and making a profit, sheds light on a
product's profitability. It shows that RescueWrite has a 58.33% gross margin. In other words,
the corporation keeps 58.33% of the revenue as gross profit after deducting the cost of producing
RescueWrite (COGS).

G. SOURCES AND APPLICATION OF FUNDS

G.1 Sources of Financing

 Personal Savings as the primary source of financing for the startup capital. This involves
using funds that the entrepreneur has saved over time to invest in their business venture.
It offers the advantage of full control over the funds and avoids the need for external debt
or equity financing.
 Friends and Family Loans who may be willing to provide a loan or investment to help
kickstart the business. This can be a less formal and more flexible source of financing,
although it's essential to establish clear terms and repayment plans to avoid potential
conflicts.
 Apply for small business loans from banks, credit unions, or online lenders. Small
business loans provide a lump sum of capital that can be used to cover startup expenses,
and repayment terms can vary based on the lender and loan type. It's important to have a
solid business plan and financial projections when applying for a loan.

G.2 Application of Funds

In the initial year of operations, the application of funds primarily revolves around laying
the foundation for sustainable growth. Operating activities including essential expenses such as
salaries, utilities, and rent, crucial for maintaining day-to-day operations and ensuring smooth
functioning. Meanwhile, investing activities focus on strategic allocations towards acquiring

Page 87 of 89
necessary equipment, initiating property investments, or exploring potential acquisitions to
bolster the company's infrastructure and capabilities.

As the business progresses into its second and third years, the application of funds
evolves to reflect the changing dynamics and priorities of a maturing enterprise. Operating
activities continue to dominate, although with refinements and optimizations aimed at enhancing
efficiency and productivity. Investing activities maintain momentum, with a sharper focus on
targeted investments aligned with the company's strategic objectives and growth trajectory.
