1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Summit Enterprises is made up of Ronan Martin, Paul Eglington, Fiachra Ó’Ciardha and Ann Miggin.
We have prepared this business plan as we have developed an innovative new product. Using this
document we will apply for a grant from Enterprise Ireland. The business plan will go into further
detail with regards the product itself, our organization, the marketing of the product and the financial
projections.
Our product is Keyzy, a unique device that allows the user to quickly and accurately guide their key
into the keyhole. Keyzy is useful for those living with Parkinson’s disease, arthritis and a broad range
of other ailments. This product helps the user to maintain confidence in their own abilities by
enabling them to live independently. Section 2 details the product specifications and our business
model.
In Section 3 our target market is analysed. The target market for Keyzy is substantial; there are
currently 135,000 living with Parkinson’s disease and 11 million living with Arthritis in Ireland and
the UK. There are currently 1.2 million people living with Parkinson’s disease and 15 million living
with arthritis in Europe. There are currently 6.3 million people living with Parkinson’s disease and
140 million living with arthritis worldwide. There is nothing like Keyzy that exists in the current
market.
Our print media campaign summary is included in Section 4, along with the 5 advertisements. In
Section 5, our marketing plan is further explained. This includes the sales strategy, pricing and
promotional campaigns.
In Section 6, we go into further detail into our plans for further research and development of other
products to build a sustainable business. Our target milestones are broken down per year, and patents
and our brand are also discussed.
The management team is delegated as follows: Ronan is our Chief Executive Officer, Paul is our
Chief Financial Officer, Fiachra is our Chief Marketing Officer and Ann is our Chief Operations
Officer. A full overview of our organizational structure is found in Section 7.
In Section 8, we have prepared cash flows, profit and loss accounts and balance sheets for years 1-3.
These accounts represent realistic projections of our financial situation going forward. They indicate
that we can build a sustainable business, as by Year 3 we will be generating a profit.
To achieve this, we will require initial funding of €75,000. This is further detailed in section 10.

2. COMPANY DESCRIPTION
2.1 Promoters, shareholders and Board
The shareholders of Keyzy will be Ronan, Fiachra, Paul and Ann. Each person will hold a 25% share
of the business. Ronan will act as CEO; his role will involve overlooking the business as a whole. The
other three will report any issues back to him. As marketing director, Fiachra will be in charge of the
promotion of our product. As Finance Director, Paul will prepare the necessary accounts on day to
day basis for the organization. As Operations Officer, Ann will be in charge of the day to day running
of the warehouse where Keyzy will be stocked and with regards the outsourcing.
2.2 Advisors
Tony Carroll, who is the advocacy manager of the Silver Stream nursing home range, found Keyzy to
be a useful product and one that would be beneficial to those suffering with mobility motor skills. He
declared his interest in the product to such an extent that he would implement Keyzy in the 6 nursing
homes on a trial basis.
Karen O’Regan, who is an executive for Accenture was also interested in Keyzy. She gave us her
contact details to help arrange meetings with John Whelan, who would help us with the production of
Keyzy.
John Whelan is the Managing Director of Seniors At Home, a personal security system for older
adults living alone that lets their family and friends know that they are OK or that they are in need of
assistance.
2.3 Products and services
Keyzy is an innovative device that allows the user to quickly and accurately guide their key directly
into a keyhole. The idea for Keyzy originated when Ronan was working in Lundbeck, a
pharmaceutical company, who work on many Parkinson’s related products. The patients emphasised
their preference for solutions that weren't based on medication. We then looked into this area and
decided to focus on simply aids to daily living. We looked at simply opening a door and the
difficulties that one could face with health difficulties. This is where the idea for Keyzy stemmed
from.
As can be seen below, Keyzy is a small device that can be positioned over the keyhole of a standard
domestic door. The functionality of the device is that there will be two guides either side of the
keyhole which will guide the key to a position directly above the keyhole. At this point the user just
needs to push the key into the keyhole as normal and the device will allow for the swivel mechanism
of the lock to function. For use during the night or in poorly lit areas, the device will have strips of a
phosphorescent (glow in the dark) material attached to either side of the guides to aid the user in such
circumstances. This demonstrates how it may be useful for almost any individual (e.g. if they don’t
have a porch light, arrive home late at night, in a rush etc.).
The unique selling point for Keyzy is that we will donate €1 of every unit sold to a relevant patient
group. We feel that customers will be more proactive when they see 10% being contributed to a non
for profit organization, which supports them.
The advantage of Keyzy to customers is that it will allow easier and quicker access to opening a door,
ultimately promoting independent living. Introducing Keyzy is a stepping stone towards encouraging
independent living as a choice for everyone.
2.3.1 Website
Our website is essential to the business process and will be our main distribution channel. This will
allow us to serve multiple international markets from a very early stage. The main functionality of the
website will be to process orders for Keyzy and to securely accept payment as well as providing
information on the device as and customer service support through e-mail. We will require a built-in

2013
Content Management System to allow us to change content ourselves, full Search Engine
Optimisation, PHP and MySQL integration and complete HTTPS/SSL support for security.
We have received an estimate of between €3,000 and €9,000 for the development of a site that will
meet our requirements; we will include €8,000 in the budget to cover this. The site development
should take no longer than 4 months and will be ready in time for a prospective product launch in
2014. Hosting costs will be $60 per year and to purchase the domain name KeyzyOnline.com (which
as of 11/12/2012 is available) will be $9.99 for the first year (GoDaddy.com).
2.3.2 Distribution
Our stock will be stored in our warehouse adjoining our office space. At this stage we have found
appropriate premises in Blanchardstown; however the location for this will be decided at a later date.
From here, we can send out the device to customers who have ordered it through our online shop.
Please see below for our Process Flow Map. The devices will be individually packaged when sent
from the manufacturing company to Dublin. We will insert this plus a product and company
information leaflet into a small padded envelope which will be sent to our customers. Postage and
packaging costs for this device will be approximately €2.40 for ROI and Northern Ireland, and €3.00
for Great Britain, Europe and Rest of World.
The main disadvantage with our product is that at this point we do not have any arrangements made
with the HSE, which would be vital for Keyzy with regards the HSE promoting Keyzy. We believe
that we can overcome this and build positive relationships with them by visiting with them explaining
the product and demonstrating how it can be implemented easily nationwide.
Key developments for Keyzy in the future will be acquiring a patent to ensure of its safety. It is vital
that we ensure Keyzy is tested by the relevant authorities to establish it is medically fit to be used.

2013

2013
2.4 Long Term Aim of Business
As we believe that independent living should be attainable for everyone, regardless of age or ability,
our mission is to become a global leader in mobility products by developing innovative solutions to
everyday problems.
2.5 S.W.O.T. Analysis

2013
3. MARKET ANALYSIS
3.1 Target market
We aim to supply our product to those who suffer from Parkinson’s disease, arthritis and other
ailments, as well as the elderly in general. With regards the Irish and UK markets, there are 135,000
people living with Parkinson’s disease and 11 million people living with Arthritis.
The end user of our product is unlikely to be the purchaser of the product. We envisage our customers
will be close relatives of the end users who can see them struggle with this task.
There is a growing elderly population globally which results in growth in the market for age related
products. Conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and arthritis are most prevalent in the older age
groups and the risk of being diagnosed increases with age.
Provided that the customers have seen someone they know struggle with this, it will be a rather quick
decision making process. The price will not be one of the key decision making factors because a
premium price is expected due to the perceived level of benefit attached to the product. It is a value
added product and could potentially be an impulse buy for younger persons.
Our target market size in Ireland and United Kingdom is already quite large and it will keep growing
– the graphs below show the ageing Irish population. This exponential growth expected within our
target market means we are targeting an age group which will ensure our future sustainability.
While the sex of a person is not a primary concern within our target, there are substantially more
women than men in this age group. This means we must ensure that women find our product both
useful and aesthetically pleasing. Other demographic factors such as social class, religion and marital
status are not relevant to our target market and will have no bearing on sales.

2013

3.2 Total market valuation
Within the UK and Irish markets, there are 135,000 people living with Parkinson’s disease and 11
million people living with Arthritis. When we expand to Europe, these numbers increase to 1.2
million for Parkinson’s disease and 15 million for Arthritis. Worldwide, we will be dealing with 6.3
million people living with Parkinson’s disease and 140 million living with Arthritis.
Other potential markets include people who have suffered a stroke, who are living with learning
disabilities, cerebral palsy, neuropathy and other neurological conditions, and the elderly in general.
3.3 Targeted share
Our target share for year 1 is 0.1% of the Irish and UK markets. This accumulates to 11,000 units
sold. This sales target is based on our investment of €10,200 in advertising, in addition to our other
promotional campaign as outlined in section 5.4. We believe 0.1% is a conservative number based on
the fact that our product will be useful to a wide range of users not just those living with the condition.

2013
3.4 Market trends
People are living longer due to advancements in health. This correlates to a larger market for Keyzy.
The tendency for elderly people living at home rather than nursing homes is increasing. As this
tendency increases, the elderly will be looking for products like Keyzy to implement in the home to
enable independent living.
Political: Unlike pharmaceuticals for example, we will not require reimbursement for this device so
the HSE will have minimal influence on us. This may change if we were to get a lucrative contract
with them to supply public nursing homes, home-help assistants etc. The product itself will be made
from widely available non-toxic plastic so we should not face any legislative issues.
Economic: The global economic crisis has resulted in consumer spending declining considerably. We
believe that the perception of the benefits our product provides outweighs the cost and so the
economic climate will have a lesser impact. The requirements for a successful loan application have
become stricter in recent years. Our trading risk is minor within the Eurozone and we can be relatively
confident about costs and price transparency. However as the UK still use Sterling this may cause
exchange rate fluctuations to negatively impact our bottom line.
Social: Longer life expectancies and an aging population results in the elderly population retaining
their independence for longer. This is set to increase, and Keyzy fits in perfectly with this emerging
mind-set.
Technological: Advancements such as electronic keypads have the potential to take market share
from Keyzy. However these devices are quite a distance from being mainstream products in a
domestic setting and it is not something that is of immediate concern.
3.5 Profile of competitors
Competitors
Collins Care Mobility Products would be our closest competitor. Their product range includes many
items that would be beneficial to our target market for example, for people suffering from Parkinson’s
-“Good Grips weighted cutlery”. The cutlery is specifically aimed at those with tremors and provides
extra weight. Irish competitors, Mobility Online and Murray’s i.e. provide a range of products from
walking aids down to smaller items like key turners. Access Mobility Products and Caregiver
Products are global competitors who stock products for a similar market.
Substitute Products
While there are numerous existing competitors in the mobility aids market, their focus appears to be
on bigger products mainly stair lifts/ramps etc. At present there are two products, the “Cheekey” and
“Keyturner”, which would be substitutes to Keyzy. However these products allow for better grip to
the key, while Keyzy focuses on alleviating the potential trouble of entering your key into the
keyhole. A brief company profile of our closest substitute can be seen below.
Company Name Annual Turnover Profit Margin Company Size
Chimerics Ltd
(Cheekey)
£11,238 £5,606 2 shareholders.
3.6 Blue Ocean Strategy
As we are the only company that is solving this problem in this particular way, it allows us to develop
a Blue Ocean Strategy to maximize the market potential. Our four differentiating strategies can be
seen below, along with a strategy canvas showing how our strategy compares with the aforementioned
substitutes.

2013
Eliminating: We will not need and a bricks & mortar outlet as we intend to sell online. We will not
incur the cost associated with running a shop and so we eliminate this cost.
Reducing: We will limit our employees to the four founding members. This will reduce our costs and
doesn’t take away from the value offered to the customer.
Raise: Competitor products are generally not aesthetically pleasing. Keyzy will have a paintable
finish which will blend in with any door. We have implemented this due to feedback from the focus
groups.
Create: Our product itself is innovative and has never been offered in this industry before, and this is
how we are creating value for the customer.
3.7 Competitive advantage
Keyzy is a unique and simple device which is easy to set up and implement. Its phosphorescent strips
and channeling guides make it easy for the user to get their key into the keyhole. Regarding price, we
will sell each product for €9.99 plus postage and packaging. This gives us a substantial margin which
will enable us to reinvest in research and development of new, more technical, products to build our
portfolio. A key element to our pricing is that we will donate €1 from every unit sold to a relevant
patient group such as the Parkinson’s Association Ireland.
We believe this is an effective strategy and one that will give us a significant competitive advantage,
as the customer will be more proactive when they see 10% being contributed to a not-for-profit
organization which supports them. We believe that donating to the patient groups is essential to
becoming a successful and socially responsible business.
3.8 Benefits to clients
We will also be developing agreements with retail outlets to stock Keyzy, as we see this as another
key route to market. Potential stockists for Keyzy could be Woodies DIY, Homebase and B&Q, as
these companies now have sections for mobility products in their stores. By stocking Keyzy, this will
increase their range of mobility products, offering more value to their customers.

2013
4. PRINT MEDIA CAMPAIGN
For our print media campaign, we have developed five advertisements each of which focus on one of
the five key characteristics of our product – accuracy, freedom, simplicity, confidence and speed.
Each advertisement has a different striking image which symbolizes one of our product benefits,
under which we have explicitly included the benefit combined with our tagline of ‘Independence is
Key’. This is a technique widely used in advertising in the pharmaceutical industry, for example the
Lexapro “Russian Doll”. Using powerful, symbolic imagery in this way allows us to accentuate the
benefits of Keyzy for the user.
There are five advertisements in total, three A4 portrait advertisements and two A3 landscape
advertisements which can be spread over two A4 pages in magazines. Please see the five images
included overleaf. As well as the metaphorical image, each advert also has a description of the
product, a link to our e-commerce website, links to our Twitter page to facilitate customer relations
and the Keyzy brand logo.
We will release all adverts at the same time as part of an intensive promotional campaign starting in
January 2014. These adverts will be included in the magazines and newsletters of the relevant patient
groups – Parkinson’s Association of Ireland, Age Action Ireland, Arthritis Ireland etc. This will
ensure our marketing communications is focused on our target market and avoid wasting valuable
resources on more general media. In addition, it will be yet another method of supporting the patient
groups which is essential to our business. This strategy is detailed further in the next section on
promotion.
All images used are either original media or open sourced images, free to use for commercial
purposes.

2013

2013
5. MARKETING STRATEGY
5.1 Marketing Strategy
The marketing strategy will be carried out by our Chief Marketing Officer, Fiachra O’Ciardha. His
role is solely focused on marketing our product, and therefore he will ensure that we reach our
marketing objectives. Both Fiachra and our CEO, Ronan Martin, have backgrounds in marketing and
this will provide us with the necessary expertise.
At first, we will primarily target the Parkinson’s disease and arthritis segments of our overall potential
market. These segments are easily definable and will get the full benefit from our product. They are
also readily accessible through their relevant patient group which makes marketing to them less
resource intensive. These segments represent a modest share of our total market, and therefore are the
perfect segments to target during the launch phases of Keyzy.
As Keyzy starts to generate revenue, this will allow us to invest more heavily in promotional activity
and enable us to attack further segments such as stroke victims, people with learning disabilities and
the elderly in general. This will be conducted in moderation as it will stretch our resources and take
attention away from our primary markets of Parkinson’s disease and arthritis. However it is important
to note that these segments are not mutually exclusive as conditions such as PD and arthritis are most
prevalent in the older age groups.
As Keyzy is a new innovation in SADL’s (simple aids to daily living) it should not prove difficult to
differentiate it from the substitute products out there. Keyzy has a number of characteristics that will
enable us to do this. First of all, we will not market Keyzy as a medical device, or a device that is for
people with a particular medical condition. This will reduce the stigma associated with this type of
product and position Keyzy as an everyday device that is useful for everyone. Secondly, we have
branded Keyzy in a similar way that other everyday consumer goods are branded. Substitute products
do not have strong brand associations, and this will provide a competitive advantage for us.
Our marketing efforts will emphasize five key characteristics of Keyzy as mentioned before -
accuracy, freedom, simplicity, confidence and speed. These benefits speak directly to our end user,
and to the potential customer of a relative, carer etc. Accuracy, simplicity and speed are product
benefits which convey explicitly how Keyzy helps. Freedom and confidence are the emotional
benefits to the user made possible by the product benefits.
We have been in contact with Tony Carroll, the advocacy manager for a chain of nursing homes in
north Dublin. He is very enthusiastic about the introduction of Keyzy and has offered us his help and
providing us with contacts in the industry. One such contact is Maurice Gueret of the Irish Medical
Directory. Having adverts for Keyzy in this publication would be invaluable as it is the main resource
used by all stakeholders in the health sector from Healthcare Professionals to pharmaceutical sales
reps to patient groups.
5.2 Sales Strategy
Initially, our main point of sale for Keyzy will be through our e-commerce website. This means that
we must invest heavily into the website at first, but over the long-term it will be very cost efficient.
We have budgeted €8,000 for website development in Year 1. This will allow us to comfortably serve
the entire Irish and UK markets in Year 1 as planned, and expand into overseas markets very quickly.
It also means that the distribution chain is completely disintermediated and we can sell directly to the
customers, and therefore benefit from the entirety of the large margin.
We can also retain full control over the positioning of the Keyzy brand and ensure that the key brand
messages do not get lost in the same way that happens to other SADL devices. As the device and
packaging is quite small, and lightweight it makes it a perfect candidate for the worldwide distribution
that the website facilitates. Developing relationships with the patient groups is vital to our business

2013
model and being able to satisfy their demand directly, in a timely manner, and will help us to keep
these relationships positive.
In addition to the website we will develop agreements directly with homecare retail chains such as
B&Q, Woodies DIY etc. While this will mean that our margin is reduced, it will allow us to increase
sales substantially and penetrate the market at a much quicker rate. It will also open Keyzys scope up
to a more general audience that would benefit from our product, not just healthcare.
5.3 Pricing
The sole income source of our business will come from retailing Keyzy through our e-commerce
website and from wholesaling Keyzy to homecare stores and other retail outlets.
Keyzy will be retailed at €9.99 plus postage and packaging to the customer. We are pursuing a value
based pricing strategy as demand for our product is inelastic due to the perceived benefits to quality of
life. This high margin will enable us to reinvest in research and development of new, more technical,
products to build our portfolio.
As stated before, a key element to our pricing is that we will donate €1 from every unit sold to a
relevant patient group such as the Parkinson’s Association Ireland. We believe this is an effective
strategy, as the customer will be more proactive when they see 10% being contributed to a not-for-
profit organisation which supports them. Our target market has a lot of spending power as declared
revenues of the over 65s in Ireland is €6.6 billion, and in the EU 75% of the wealth is held by the over
50s.
5.3.1 Manufacturing Costs
We have received a quote for the design based on manufacturing 15,000 units to cover expected
demand in Year 1. We were presented with two options for construction material - glass filled nylon
and impact resistant ABS. We decided to go with ABS due to feedback from our focus groups over
the ability to paint the device to fit in with the colour of the door. This is possible with ABS, also it is
the cheaper option and it’s thermally stable. Initial Tooling costs will be approximately $22,967 and
manufacturing costs per unit will be approximately $0.6391. This includes assembly of the finished
device including the addition of adhesive and magnetic strips.
The magnetic strips will be Ferrite magnets with a pull of 200 grams. The cost of the 3 magnetic strips
per unit is €0.00125. The strips of adhesive are double-sided foam, high tack rubber resin adhesive.
The cost of 3 strips of adhesive per unit is £0.000126. We have received an estimate of $0.07907 per
unit (2 strips), (plus delivery of $121.50 to PDM) for strips of luminance PVC-4 to be included with
the mold. We will have to source the magnetic, adhesive and phosphorescent strips separately as the
manufacturing company generally does not supply these. However they will apply these to the
finished device during the manufacturing stage at no extra cost.
From a final design stage, it generally takes 3 to 4 months to get a tool back which will need to be
approved. After that, depending on shop time they can get in-house samples done for us in a week.
From there, a realistic turnaround on production can be estimated, based on quantity ordered. We
could not yet estimate a cost for delivery to our warehouse in Dublin, but we have noted that we will
incur an export fee and have to deal with international customs paperwork.

2013
5.3.2 Competitors Pricing
While there are no direct competitors for Keyzy, there are two substitute products, Cheekey and
Keyturner. The price of Keyturner is £5.99, which is approximately €7.10 and Cheekey is priced at
£2.69 which is approximately €3.20.
There is not a huge level of competition aside from the products mentioned, there is also little
innovation in the industry and so we will continuously develop Keyzy and other related products to
increase market share.
In our market the buyer is a price taker as the total market is large and there are not many alternative
products. However if we fail to hit our sales targets in the first two quarters, and we attribute this to
Keyzy being overpriced, we will drop the price to €5.99 in order to stimulate demand.
5.4 Advertising and Promotion
5.4.1 Print Media Campaign
As stated previously during the initial launch phase of Keyzy, we will run a print advertising
campaign in the magazines and newsletters published by the Parkinson’s Association of Ireland, Age
Action Ireland, Arthritis Ireland, and Parkinson’s UK etc. This will be comprised of the 5 adverts
included in the previous section. These publications have high readership rates amongst our target
market and will facilitate a focused marketing push.
As we make a donation to these groups based per unit sold, we are confident that they will help us
during the difficult launch phase by offering ad space free of charge or at a reduced rate. This will be
our marketing strategy during the first 6 months after launch and it will be reviewed on a half-yearly
basis to evaluate its effectiveness. We are confident that they will actively promote our product given
our loyalty and support to their groups.

2013
5.4.2 Public relations
As part of our launch promotions, we plan to develop a PR campaign in conjunction with the
Parkinson’s Association of Ireland and Lundbeck (Ireland) Ltd. We envisage that this will be a
relatively standard photo-call event in order to generate buzz for the product in the Irish media,
support our other launch activities and improve public perception for all involved. As Ronan worked
in Lundbeck last year, we are confident that his contacts there will ensure this campaign will be
developed.
5.4.3 Online Marketing
As our website will be our main point of sale initially, online marketing is a fundamental aspect of our
promotional campaign. Our online promotions will be comprised of two elements - Google Adwords
& advanced Search Engine Optimisation for the website. This will enable potential customers, who
are actively searching in this area, to easily find our product online and link them directly to our
website.
We will budget €10,200 for our Google Adwords campaign, and the service is designed so that we
will not exceed this limit. This will be sufficient to reach our target sales of 11,000 units in Year 1,
when combined with our other promotional strategies.
When we are developing our website, integrating advanced SEO will be one of our priorities. This has
a higher sales conversion rate as customers don’t feel like they are ‘being sold’ a product. While this
requires investment early on, it becomes far more cost efficient over the long term when compared to
advertising.
5.4.4 Word of mouth
We will aim to get endorsements for Keyzy from key opinion leaders in this area and from satisfied
customers. This will help us to promote word of mouth for our product, and having fully satisfied
customers is essential for this. Furthermore, dissatisfied customers can spread negative word of
mouth, and this must be avoided.
Included in our advertisements is our Twitter handle and a ‘hashtag’ so current and potential
customers, and others, can ‘join the conversation’ on Twitter. We see this as being an avenue to
promote our product, complementary services, useful information and links and also provide customer
services. Customer interaction on Twitter is an immediate, transparent method to ensure we doing all
we can to help our customers. It also allows current and potential customers to interact and provide
‘word of mouse’ for Keyzy.

2013
6. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
6.1 Research and Development
Keyzy is designed so that ‘one size fits all’. This is essential to our business model as it will allow us
expand at a fast rate. While this is appropriate for the majority of standard keyholes, there are certain
designs which are not compatible with Keyzy. To address this, we will develop variations of the
original Keyzy design so that the most common of incompatible keyholes will be catered for.
In Year 3, we will develop a lock with the Keyzy functionality integrated into the design. This will
have many advantages to our product offering such as increased durability and convenience to the
user. Due to the more complicated design we will also be able to charge a more premium price for this
product. This strategy will cannibalise our current Keyzy product and so it will be important to
distinguish the original Keyzy as the mobile version of the device for our target market.
We may choose to produce in a variety of different colors and finishes in order to provide more
choice to consumers. Keyzy is made from ABS plastic which is paintable, but we can also expand the
range to offer wooden and metallic finishes to improve customer choice.
We intend to produce new products aimed at visual and physically impaired persons to aid their
mobility and accessibility. These will be centered on ideas in the technology sector to help people
when using touchscreens, keyboards etc. As a computer literate generation grows older, where these
conditions are most prevalent, there will be a need for these products in the future.
New products will typically be methods of easing ADL’s for those living with particular difficulties,
helping them to maintain their independence.
6.2 Team/Department structure
Our Chief Operations Officer, Ann Miggin, will oversee the implementation of our future product
development plans. Research and development will be outsourced to an engineering firm that
specializes in the medical device industry.
6.4 Methodology
As mentioned above, we will outsource research and development of our product range and our COO
will ensure objectives are met. This is the most cost effective solution for us, as internally we will be
focusing on business development opportunities.
6.5 Milestones to be achieved
In Year 1, we will concentrate on the sales and marketing of the original Keyzy in order to build up
enough resources to properly invest in future R&D.
In Year 2, we will develop variations of Keyzy, in order to satisfy demand for more obscure keyholes.
We will be able to use the feedback from customers in our first year of trading as a basis for our
market research. We will also start to shift our focus to technology accessibility products in Year 2, as
mentioned above.
In Year 3, we will launch the Keyzy integrated lock on to the market. At this stage the design of the
original Keyzy will be optimized and we will start to market it as the ‘mobile’ Keyzy. We also intend
to have 4 new technology products developed to an advanced stage.
In Year 4, we should have at least 1 of the technology products ready to launch which will increase
our portfolio to 3 products. Investment into continuous R&D will be increased substantially this year.
In Year 5, we should be able to launch another 2 products which will bring our portfolio to 5.

2013
6.6 Technical Partners
We will source all our magnetic strips, adhesive strips and phosphorescent strips to Dalian
Engineering (USA). They will deliver them to our manufacturer, Plastic Design & Manufactuuring.
Our manufacturer will be producing the product and attaching all the components to the product.
Product packaging is also included in their service. They will distribute the finished product directly
to our unit in Blanchardstown.
Other key partners will be the website development firm and R&D firm which we will contract to
carry out those functions.
6.7 Patents and Brands
We will be applying for Intellectual Property rights as soon as possible. This can be a long and costly
process, and there is no guarantee that we will succeed. As this will make us vulnerable to
competitors, we have developed our business model to raise barriers to entry.
As described before, the unique aspect of our business model is that we will donate €1.00 of every
unit sold to a relevant patient group such as Age Action Ireland or Parkinson’s Association of Ireland.
This will enable us to build strong relationships with the groups that have direct access to our target
market. This will make it very difficult for competitors to market a similar product as we will have the
support of the patients groups.
The Keyzy brand is designed to appeal to the consumer market. A white background is used to
indicate pureness and cleanliness, and is commonly used in medical marketing for this purpose. The
word Keyzy and the silhouette of the seagull are in black to indicate strength and confidence. The
brand is punctuated with orange which indicates creativity and freedom. The image of the seagull also
symbolizes freedom and the unlocked padlock that it is carrying relates directly to our product
offering.
Our tagline, “Independence is Key”, promotes the emotional benefits of Keyzy to the user. Consumers
don’t buy product features, they buy product benefits, and our tagline is designed to emphasize this.
When we were developing the brand, we used the concept introduced by Simon Sinek as our
inspiration – “People don’t buy what you, they buy why you do it” (How great leaders inspire action,
TED.com).

2013
7. STAFFING AND OPERATIONS
7.1 Management Organisation Chart
Our firm size will be small with four members of staff for the first year. We will be fulfilling all four
roles within the organization as outlined above, and will outsource IT.
Our organisational structure takes a functional format as it is most suited to our product offering (Low
technology, Mass production) and small firm size (unlikely to recruit more than one or 2 persons
within the first three years of trading). Our strategy is focus differentiation. It is a niche market and
we have no existing direct competitors.
Ronan is our Chief Executive Officer. Ronan has worked in the pharmaceutical industry, having
worked with Lundbeck, where they have worked on Parkinson’s disease related products. He is
currently class representative of the Business Studies course and Public Relations Officer of the
Investment Society. All managers will be reporting back any issues or potential problems to him.
Ronan is specialising in marketing and thus will have a great scope of the operations. We are
confident that he is the ideal leader for our Keyzy product.
Fiachra is our Chief Marketing Officer. He is currently specialising in marketing. Having worked for
Enterprise Ireland, he will be able to advise the team on any aspects with regards exporting. His main
roles will involve executing advertising campaigns and monitoring sales in conjunction with these
campaigns. In the 1st year the main priority will be building market awareness of our product.
Paul is our Chief Finance Officer. Paul has experience in the finance sector, having worked for
KPMG’s tax and finance department. He is the ideal candidate for this role. Paul will be responsible
for preparing the necessary accounts of the business.

Ann
Chief Marketing Officer
Fiachra

2013
Ann is our Chief Operations Officer. Her main responsibilities will include; overlooking the
production level, sourcing raw materials, securing supplies and monitoring the distribution of the
product. She has experience in this sector, having organised and managed activities in the Gaeltacht.
This role involves strong communications skills which she has experience in, having worked in the
customer service department of Allianz.
7.2 Staffing
We will not be hiring anybody during the first three years of operations. We have identified IT as a
potential skills gap, however as stated previously we have planned to outsource this role. As our
operations grow in year four and five there may be a need to hire additional staff to assist in the
running of our business.
7.3 Training Plans
Ann will complete a Masters Degree in E-commerce. This will help further build her skills to
optimize the online side of our business. Paul will begin studying tax and will complete the ACA
qualifications. This will allow him to analyse our tax liability and enable us to avail of better taxing
methods to suit our firm. Fiachra will complete the Masters Marketing Degree in DCU. This will
provide him with greater insight into subject itself, which will help improve this aspect of the
business. Ronan will undertake the MBA programme in DCU. This will improve his leadership
abilities and help guide the company to achieve its goals over the next five years.
Continuous up-skilling is essential to ensure we have the necessary skills to grow s sustainable
business. Over the first three years we will allocate funds to invest in this further training of staff
which will begin in year 4.
7.4 Operations
An outline of the physical needs of the company can be found below:
 Premises: We will secure premises in Blanchardstown which will solely be used to hold stock
prior to distribution. It will consist of offices and storage space. This will cost €2,000 per
month.
Product gross
price 60 cent
€ 1 donation
to a relevant
patient group for
every unit sold
Overheads to
be deducted
from sales
Approx €3 will be
left over after all
relevant deductions
this will be used to
fund Research and
development

2013
 Equipment: Our equipment will be minimal as we are outsourcing production. Our only
physical requirements are basic office equipment consisting of computers, internet, phones,
photocopiers and printers. We have allocated €5,000 to cover these costs. In addition to this
we will pay €16,000 in January 2014 to cover the cost of our initial mould.
 Production facilities: We have outsourced production to a company located in China. There is
a minimum order of 15,000 units at a cost of €0.60 per unit. They will then ship the finished
product to us in Ireland.
 Communications facilities: Our only necessary communication facilities are internet access
and phone lines. Predominantly communication will be via emails due to some language
barriers.
 Suppliers: We will be sourcing the ABS plastic from an American supplier called Plastic
Design & Manufacturing. The ABS plastic raw materials will be forwarded from our
American supplier directly to our manufacturer. We think this will be smooth transaction
and expect this will be quick, convenient and hassle free production.

2013
8 FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS
8.1 Assumptions
8.1.1 Cashflow
Cash Sales
All sales of Keyzy will be paid on day of purchase through a payment facility of on our e-commerce
website. We have projected sales of 11,000 units of Keyzy during Year 1 with a steady growth in
sales each month as our product becomes well known. 20,000 units will be sold in Year 2 and 40,000
units will be sold in Year 3.
Term Loan
In Year 1, we will receive a long term loan of €25,000 with €12,500 being received in January and the
remaining €12,500 being received in May.
Other Income
The figure of €50,000 as additional cash inflow is derived through a €10,000 initial investment by
each employee as well as an additional €10,000 received from successful application to the Ustart
accelerator programme.
Donations
A key part of our marketing will be a €1 donation to a relevant patient group on each unit sold. Thus
for Year 1 a figure of €11,000 is included as a cash outflow. This figure is €20,000 in Year 2 and
€40,000 in Year 3.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing cost per unit is €0.60 based on a quote we received from PDM plastic design and
manufacturing. We will order 15,000 units in Year 1 in January to cover demand for the year at a total
cost of €9,000. 25,000 units will be purchased in Year 2 and 42,000 units will be purchased in Year 3.
Website

VAT
VAT is payable every third month on sales for the previous two months. VAT is calculated on 23% of
cash sales.

AdWords, search engine optimisation as well as a print media campaign in publications aimed at our
target market.

Year 1.
Closing Stock

1 of €103,290. In Years 2 and 3 we expect to make a gross profit of €187,800 and €378,600
respectively.

exempt from corporation tax.
Net Profit
In Year 1 we expect to make a net loss of €53,925. We also expect to make a loss of €18,994 in Year
2 and to make a profit of €90,892 in Year 3.

2013
8.1.3 Balance Sheets

8.5 Breakeven
We have estimated fixed costs to come to a total of €132,040 for the year. These include interest,
salaries, donations, PRSI, website, rent, rates and advertising. Variable costs per unit amount to €0.60.
To break even we need to sell a total of 15,552 units in the year. In terms of Euro this amounts to
€155,368. We don’t expect to break even during the first year, this will happen in Year 3. A graph of
the breakeven analysis can be found above.

2013
9. SALES PIPELINE
This is our estimated sales and timeline for accomplishment. Size of deal is based on obtaining 0.1%
of those suffering from Parkinson’s disease and arthritis within that geographic market. Given these
conservative figures we are confident that these targets will be achieved by us within 5 years of
trading. We expect to exceed these targets early in year two as our brand image grows and the
business becomes more recognised within the market. We anticipate all of these objectives to be
achievable given that they have been based on a mere 0.1% of our target in each country.

to assist with cash flow.
 €10,000: The company will receive a further investment of capital through successful entry
into the Ustart accelerator programme run by DCU.
