    10/64

    and this cause the parent a lot of hindrances in their quest to provide their child

    help in looking after their new born baby as well as themselves. We have

    managed compile database consist of midwifes that can cater to the new mothers.

    20SITUATION ANALYSIS2.1.Swot Analysis

    2.1.1.Strength

    One of the most competitive advantage that emybabysitter.com has is that

    the firm is the pioneer in Malaysia to operate as babysitter service provider via

    online and therefore there is no direct competitors currently. Currently most

    agencies are adapted to brick and mortar business model concept and offering their

    service from offices. However, our firm is based on brick and click business

    concept whereby most of our operation is based via online. Other than that, our

    company also has efficient human resources and child therapist that can aid our

    customers regarding their request and needs related to the babysitter that they want

    for their children. This is one of the advantages that the company has over other

    competitors. Moreover, our firm also striving in creating brand and image as the

    best service provider for customers in helping them to locate the best babysitter

    service. This is achieved by providing updated database of information regarding

    the babysitters that available in all the locations. Moreover, our price for obtainingbabysitter is comparatively cost effective than other agencies and independence

    babysitters. Other than that, our service also considered fast, reliable and efficient

    whereby the clients do not face problems such as depending on only one babysitter,

    could not find babysitter in time of emergency, and others.

    11/64

    eMyBabysitter.com Business Plan

    2.1.2.Weakness

    Since in Malaysia, these types of services are not common, it may cause

    certain setbacks to the company. This is because there is possibility that parents

    will not choose to use our company service to gain information about babysitter

    availability. Other than that, agencies that offers babysitter services via online is

    often popular in countries such as New Zealand, America, Australia , Canada and

    other developed western countries and had become trend for parents and guardian

    to choose babysitter via online rather than go to maid agencies. However in

    Malaysia, this business is a very new and still hasnt become trend setting among

    parent. This can become a hindrance for our firm to develop and become

    successful among the clientele.

    2.1.3.Opportunity

    The firm had high rate of opportunity to become leader in the field since

    the company is one of the first in Malaysia to offer babysitter services via online.

    Moreover, there company also does not face direct competitors. Furthermore, as

    for 2008 economy downturn had forced many working parents to revamp their

    lifestyles and the ways to handle their household budget. Many parents started to

    seek for alternative solution in providing care for their children due to cost

    increase in acquiring foreign maids. Therefore, the firm has dazzling future to

    develop to become successful operation in Malaysia because of the economy

    crisis. The legal issues between Malaysia government and Republic Indonesia

    regarding the maid issues and Indonesia government imposing ban that created

    barriers for Indonesian maids to be recruited also lead to massive opportunity for

    local housewives and babysitters to expand their services. This will increase our

    company opportunity as well to shine and penetrate the local childcare service

    market.

    2.1.4.Threats

    The company is facing competition from foreign maid services. In

    Malaysia, the foreign maid service is highly in demand and therefore our firm will

    face competition from these agencies because most parents may choose to employ

    11

  • 7/30/2019 39734713 Business Plan for Online Babysitter Company

    12/64

    eMyBabysitter.com Business Plan

    foreign maid rather than hiring babysitters or nannies. Another threat that the

    company will probably face is economy crisis whereby people might choose

    relatives to take care of their children instead of hiring babysitters. Another threat

    that the company can face is internal political power struggle, transition of ruling

    power and others. These dilemmas can affect launching of our company in certain

    countries such as Thailand, Philippine and other even though there is vast market

    opportunity if our management planned to expand our services to other countries

    as well.

    2.2.Competitive Comparison

    The company faces competition from other alternative services such as individual

    babysitters, foreign maid agency and childcare centres. Most of this facilities only

    manage to provide child care services butThe company has tremendous advantage in the service industry especially in

    childcare services. This is because our company can be considered as pioneer in leading

    as online babysitter service provider in Malaysia. However, the firm mainly facing

    competitive from foreign maid agency, individual babysitter services and daycares

    centres. However, there are vast advantages of our company compared to these agencies

    and daycares centres. One of the advantages is cost effective for the clients. The parents

    and guardians did not have to spend hefty amount of money to the agencies and daycares

    centres. The firm only charge small amount of fee to the parents to become member and

    gain access to huge database of babysitters. Moreover, the firm also will be providing

    huge database of information of babysitter that enable the clients to choose their

    preferred babysitter.

    Other than that, one of the most important element is the customers can gain

    babysitter services without leaving house and seeking agency to hire babysitter and only

    by click of mouse. Our services also been customized whereby we cater for those

    children that need special care such as autisms children, physically-challenged children

    and others.

    Our database is created uniquely that when parents basically enter the information

    and preference that they need for the babysitter and our system will generate list of

    available babysitter according to the preferences.

    eMyBabysitter.com Business Plan

    2.3.Technology

    The firm is bricks and clicks business model whereby online website is one of the

    most crucial operation and used to cater for our clients. Therefore, technology is given

    important aspect and as for the creating and setting up the website, maintenance fee, web

    hosting and other expenses pertaining our website, the company had allocated RM

    10,800.00. The firm also had purchased software such as Microsoft Office Application,

    and MYOB as well for management and administration operation.

    30MARKET ANALYSIS SUMMARY

    In modern society, the demand for childcare had increased tremendously since more dual

    career couples, single parents and mother with children steps in the countrys labour force.

    According to the Ministry of Human Resource, in Malaysia labour force participation had

    increased from 65.1% in 2001 to 66.9% in 2006 and womans participation had increased

    from 44.4% in 2001 to 46.1% in 2006.1 Moreover, participation of parents and women with

    young children had escalated and they need to find solutions and alternatives for their child

    welfare while they are working. Furthermore, the parents and young mothers are rely on

    relatives, non-relatives, foreign maids, babysitters and daycares centres to care for their

    children.

    According to Zulkiple (2006), most of workers in Malaysia actually choose for

    unlicensed babysitter as alternative childcare due to cheaper cost compared to day care

    centre2. However, there are risks for the children such as parents did not know the

    babysitters, child safety with strangers, and other dangers. Therefore, the demands for

    childcare centre, babysitters, and hired helps had amplified and generated comprehensive

    opportunity for company like eMyBabysitter.com to expand its wing in childcare service

    industry.

    Moreover, most of the female married employees consist of 52.7% send their children to

    baby sitters and only 3% of the employees send their children to childcare centre.3

    shows that opportunity for childcare business is increasing and parents are more concern on

    finding good and safe babysitters for their children.

    Other than that, legal issues pertaining foreign maid in Malaysia also had contributed to

    the opportunity in our business. The ban and restriction by Indonesia government on

    Indonesia maid to Malaysia had caused uproar in hired help industry as well as increased the

    cost of hiring maid. This is because as for now Malaysia had to rely on countries such as

    Vietnam, Myanmar and other countries to seek for maids and hired helps. In February 2000,

    there were 679,219 registered foreign workers and 150,000 foreign maids working in

    Malaysia.4 However the legal issues among the government regarding the treatments and

    conflicts among employer and maids had decrease the number of foreign maid in Malaysia.

    Moreover, birth rate in Malaysia also is another factor that can contribute to expansion of

    our company. Furthermore, in 2009, it is estimated that 22.24 births for 1,000 populations5.

    2.5.Projected Cash Flow

    As for our cash flow projection, the cash balance is directly dependent on the

    sales of membership fee to our clients. The company do not have any additional

    financial aid form other institution. Initially the net cash flow and cash balance are on

    par and shows negative balance but towards in the end of the year of 2010, when the

    company is projected to achieve break even sales, the firm start to accumulate cashbalance. However in 2011, the projected cash flow begins to show positive sign and

    increase gradually since the company do not have start-up expanses and other

    miscellaneous expenses. Besides that, in 2012, the companys projected cash flow is

    more steady since the sales of membership is began to boost and the company

    reputations is expected to become more well-known and bigger clientele.
