Business:-    State what you are assessing here: Zee’s Blooms

Strengths Tangible/Intangible(Internal)         

Products to start up the business are easy to find are quite cheap when you buy them in bulks, also at specific times of the year more flowers become cheaper and on a higher demand rather than the more expensive flowers.

I have a great interest within the business and I am quiet fascinated by the way in which most people use flowers and make such exquisite bouquets.

This product can be made in many shapes and sizes with also very nice smells that combine to make one.

Weaknesses Tangible/Intangible(External)

§  My main weakness if the fact I have no previous experience from running any sort of business, also it is time consuming to make bouquets and baskets for many particular occasions.



Opportunities (Industrial/ Macro)

§  The location of my shop is quiet local and I have a great opportunity for potential customers.

§  If my business becomes successful during the next few years, I will be able to expand it and open other branches in and outside of London to make more of a profit not only for myself but also fellow colleagues that I work with.

Threats (Industrial/Macro)

§  There are also other well-known florists, that have a great reputations but are also known for the same ideas. For example:-

-         http://www.raysflorist.co.uk/ (Rays Florist)

-         http://www.serenataflowers.com (Serenata Flowers)

-         http://www.moysesflowers.co.uk (Moyses Flowers)

-         http://www.bunches.co.uk (Bunches)

§  They also have very competitive prices that are all similar but stand out with their own offers toward the customer, this means that my service should be the same which would be just right to attract the attention of many potential customers.
