CHAPTER THREE
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
1.0 Introduction
The name of the company is SM nutritious baby soy. SM is a name after the proprietor and
the majority share holder of the company Ssenkumba Maurice. It will be a family business
so that it can be passed on to grand children hence its survival for centuries.
1.1 Location of the Business
SM will be located in Kyabakuza trading centre 5km along Masaka- Mbarara high way in
Kimanya Kyabakuza sub -county, Masaka district making it an ideal location for our business.
The business will be located at Kyabakuza trading centre along Masaka Mbarara road because
Kyabakuza trading is a populated town economically growing so there is an opportunity of
setting up a baby soy company due to increasing number of schools, institutions, organizations,
banking facilities, population among others that will provide market for our products.
Availability of security is another factor that we shall consider while locating our business. We
shall locate our business at Kyabakuza trading centre because of assured security due to presence
of a police station in the area.
More so, availability of good transport and communication network will enable easy
transportation of both the raw materials to the production plant and transportation of the finished
products to the market areas and good communication networks will ease communication to both
the suppliers of raw materials and customers.
Another factor we considered while choosing the location is the availability of power and water
which are very important aspect in establishing a baby soy company. Mainly power will be used
for running machines and lighting respectively. The growing size of the population due to
increased birth rate among the people in the area and the increasing number of immigrants within
Masaka district and neighboring districts of Lwengo, Lyantonde, Rakai and Sembabule at large.
This will offer ready market for SM products hence choosing such location.
1.1.2 History of the Business
SM nutritious baby soy will be a private limited company formed under the partnership act of
1890.
SM nutritious baby soy limited is a new venture that will deal in the production of quality and
nutritious baby soy to satisfy customer needs especially the families with babies. The company
will provide convenient and affordable quality baby soy mainly to the residents of the former
Masaka region and the whole of East Africa.
The business will start its operations in November, 2013 after acquiring the share capital of
shs.40000000= and a loan from Stanbic bank of shs.20000000= to buy the necessary equipment
and the starting raw materials.
1.1.3 Description of the Product
The company will mainly produce baby soy in 1000gm, 500gm and 250gm respectively. The soy
will be in powdered form and yellowish in colour due to the ingredients that will be used, the soy
will be packed in paper bags that will be branded with the company logo so as to identify it from
the products of the competitors. The ingredient that will be used in the processing of the baby
soy will include; soya beans flour, nkejje, millet and silverfish among others.
The baby soy will be at first for babies of the age of 7months to 5 years but after two years of
operation the company will start to produce soy for elderly people so as to increase on its sales
and also capture a bigger market share.
1.1.4 Market segmentation
The baby soy will be produced for all classes namely the low, high, and middle income earners.
Our market will be divided into three categories which include;
The individual customers, these will include among others the house wives and this will be
mainly through our door to door campaign of making people aware of our products.
Organisations, these will include schools especially kindergartens and nurseries, orphanage
centers, hospitals and child study centers (Sunday schools).
And our last market segment will be retail shops and supermarkets both within and outside
Masaka town and the supermarkets will include smart shoppers, downtown, and Tabulabyansi
among others.
1.1.5 Characteristics of the product
The baby soy will be packed in 1000gm, 500gm and 250gm respectively. The soy will be in
powdered form and yellowish in colour due to the ingredients that will be used, the soy will be
packed in paper bags that will be branded with the company logo so as to distinguish it from the
products of the competitors.
The ingredient that will be used in the processing of the baby soy will include; soya beans flour,
Nkejje, millet, rice and silverfish among others.
The soy will vary from brand name which will include baby soy millet, baby soy Nkejje, baby
soy rice, and baby soy maize.
Since the product will be produced and packed in different flavors that is; nkejje, rice, millet and
maize it will attract more people to buy the product basing on their tastes preferences. However
the weakness of this product is that it will go bad easily because there will be no preservatives.
Also since the product will be packed in paper bags its likely to be prone to weather conditions
especially coldness which will spoil the soy.
These weaknesses will be solved by first packaging the soy in polythene papers then put them in
paper bags. The weakness of lack of preservatives will be solved through supplying in small
numbers so that my customers especially retail shops and super markets are not over stocked.
1.1.6 Risks expected to occur
Since the major source of energy there is a possibility of fire out break due to short circuit.
However the management will install fire extinguishers so that in case of fire out break the
extinguishers are used to stop it from destroying the company machines.
There is a risk of duplication especially from the small producers who produce poor quality
products which may tarnish the image of the company. The company will solve this risk through
monitoring the products in market so as to identify the duplicated products.
There is a risk of workers especially those in the production department to get some accidents
like cuts and wounds from the production machines. This will be solved through providing
protective gears like groves, gum boots, helmets, nose masks and overalls
Theft is also expected to be among the risks especially on the production plant so as to steal the
production equipments like grinders and mixers. The risk will be solved through hiring a security
guard to safe guard the company premises.
1.1.7 Future Prospects
SM nutritious hopes to start up outlets in the towns of Masaka, Lyantonde, Kalisizo and
Kampala and this will help the company to multiply its sales which in turn will lead to its
development and growth.
The company also hopes to expand the product line through introducing products for the elderly
and also all ages of people also the company hopes to start producing maize and rice flour.
There’s also a hope of producing to the outside world like Kenya, Tanzania and Southern Sudan.
The company also hopes to produce animal feeds most especially the pigs since the spoiled baby
soy can be eaten by the pigs also the maize brand will be used as animal feeds.
1.1.8 Goals and milestones
SM nutritious baby Soy Company expects to achieve the following during its year of production.
During the first year of operation SM nutritious company expects to be known by most of the
people around the former Masaka region and this will help the company to increase its sales at
10 percent per month.
During the second year of operation the company expects to open up an outlet in Mbarara and
this will help the company to increase and product awareness among the people of Mbarara
Lyantonde and Bushenyi.
The company also expects to expand it premises through buying land from the neighbors and this
will increase its production and storage capacity and hence the growth and development of the
company.
The company also expects to buy land so that it starts to plant its own raw materials like maize,
soya beans and millet. This will increase the production capacity of the company and also reduce
on the costs of production.
1.1.9 Uniqueness of the business
The company will be providing credit facilities to its trustworthy customers like schools,
institutions, hospitals and supermarkets this will attract more people to buy the products of the
business.
Given the fact that the business will be producing different flavors like millet, maize, nkejje, and
rice it will attract more people to buy its products due to the variety that will be produced unlike
its competitors who only have at most two flavors.
In the pack of 1000gm I will add 10gm and this will attract more customers to our products and
also reduce the prices by 100 ugx for every category compared to my competitors and this will
attract more customers to my product.
MARKET ANALYSIS
1.2 Market segmentation
The baby soy will be produced for all classes namely the low, high, and middle income earners.
Our market will be divided into three categories which include;
The individual customers, these will include among others the house wives and this will be
mainly through our door to door campaign of making people aware of our products.

centers, hospitals and child study centers (Sunday schools).
And our last market segment will be retail shops and supermarkets both within and outside
Masaka town and the supermarkets will include smart shoppers, downtown, and Tabulabyansi
among others.
1.2.1 Product strategy
SM nutritious baby Soy Company will use the following market mix to achieve its intended
objectives.
Price; The business will intend to use a competitive based pricing strategy to cater for business
objectives and market position to generate revenue. We don’t intend to charge very high price
even when our products will be of a n excellent quality compared to our competitors’.
On the market 1000gm, 500gm and 250gm cost shs. 12000, shs. 6500, and shs.2000 respectively
Product; At SM we shall deal in production of baby soy for babies between 7 months and 5
years but as time goes on we will diversify our production to cater for all the classes of people
(the elderly, children and the youth). The soy will be in weights of 1010gm, 505gm and 255gm.
The soy will be in powdered form and yellowish in colour packed in polythene and paper bags
outside beautifully branded with the company logo and description “Baby soya the mystery
behind healthy babies”.
Given the fact that the weight will exceed slightly above my competitors then it means that with
no doubt the product will meet customer’s expectations of value for money since they will be
buying more at a relatively cheaper price compared to our competitors’.
Place; SM Nutritious Baby Soy Company will be located in Kyabakuza trading center along
Masaka Mbarara road this place is strategic since the travelers will be able to see our company
and this will provide publicity to our product hence increasing product awareness among the
people which in turn will lead to increased demand for our product.
Promotion; At SM we believe that advertisement plays a very big role to the sales of the
company so the company has put aside big sums of money so as to create awareness among the
potential customers and increase its sales thus its growth and development.
The share holders will also use social functions like attending funeral ceremonies, burials, church
functions and this will help the company to gain acceptance and fame among the people. The
word of mouth advertising via quality output is a strong selling point. So the company hopes to
employ a group of foot sales representative and this will promote personal contact between the
public and the company and hence attract more people to our products.
Occasional community donations and production gifts to outstanding community figures will
also help us in achieving our objective of being in touch with our clients. We will also take the
product to the consumers and let them sample the product to help create brand awareness.
Also adverts will be taken to local radio stations which will include central broad casting
services (CBS), radio Buddu and Bukedde. These adverts will create awareness among the
public and this will attract more people to buy our product.

repeated and word of mouth sales .
Our market share will be driven by three models as shown below;
Share preference ; This will be increased through quality products, relatively low prices in
relation to our competitors and promotional changes through intensive advertisements on
radio stations, posters and many other forms of advertisements..
Share of voice ; This will be through our door to door campaign as this will increase awareness
among the people as far as SM products are concerned and this will attract more be to buy our
products and leave the products of our competitors. Thus, share of voice will increase our sales
and hence capturing a bigger market share.
Share of distribution; this will be increased through more intensive distribution.

 Organisations, these will include schools especially kindergartens and nurseries, orphanage
centers, hospitals and child study centers (Sunday schools).
 Retail shops and supermarkets both within and outside Masaka town and the supermarkets

Competition and competitive age
Basing on the survey carried out by the managing director the company is operating in a
relatively competitive market where there’s competition from locally made baby soy by
companies like Kayebe sauce packers and Maganjo grain millers and also some small scale
businesses like Balalo soy packers however these are not so threatening to the business since
they produce in small quantities and also take a very small portion of the market.
Assessment of competitors
The leading producer in this industry is Maganjo and this is because the company has existed for
a longer period and according to the survey the company was started in 1979 this has helped it to
acquire experience and trust from the public. However, this company has some weakness
operational and management operations which need improvement.
Other competitors like NUMA, Kayebe, Balalo and East African Baby Soy are not so much
known by the people though they have stayed in the market for quite long time so if SM makes
intensive advertisements it can easily out compete them.
Also given the fact that most of the companies are situated in Kampala it will be easy for SM to
take over the Masaka region and its neighbouring districts within a very short time due to
relatively cheaper costs of reaching these areas compared to the competitors who are far from
Masaka.
MANUFACTURING / OPERATIONAL PLAN
Location of the Business
SM will be located in Kyabakuza trading centre 5km along Masaka- Mbarara high way in
Kimanya Kyabakuza sub -county, Masaka district making it an ideal location for our business.
The business will be located at Kyabakuza trading centre along Masaka Mbarara road because
Kyabakuza trading is a populated town economically growing so there is an opportunity of
setting up a baby soy company due to increasing number of schools, institutions, organizations,
banking facilities, population among others that will provide market for our products.
Production characteristics
The company is going to use the following raw materials for its production;
 Soya beans, this is the primary ingredient in any baby soy recipe. Soya beans cotain
carbohydrates and proteins. These will be crushed by the milling machine which will
transform them into powdered form and then they will be mixed with other materials to
produce the baby soy. They will be got from the areas of Kabale, and Kisoro among
others plus the local farmers around.
 Millet, will also be grinded to powder form and will be mixed with other components to
come up with the baby soy. They will be got from Kabale, Tororo, Butaleja and Soroti
among others.
 “Nkejje,” this will be got from Lambu and Bukakata.
 Maize, will be got from Mayuge and Kiboga districts and also from the local farmers
around. Maize will be used because it contains proteins and carbohydrate which provide
energy to the children and also the proteins help in brain growth of the children
 Cassava, will be got from Soroti, Arua and also from the local farmers. The cassava will
be mainly used because it contains starch which makes the body strong.
 Powdered milk from Kampala by Sameer industries and Fresh diaries ltd.
 Water,

The manufacturing process
When the soya beans, cassava and maize are collected from the store they have to be put on the
shiver so that stones and other dirty materials are removed so that they do not destroy the milling
machine, then the soy beans, maize and cassava are put into the milling machine and turned into
flour which is collected in the sacks and taken to the mixer so that it can be combined with other
materials like milk, millet.
For the case of millet and “Nkejje” these are put into the grinder so that they are crushed to
powder as this makes them easily dissolved in the flour of soy and maize together with cassava.
Once that has been done then the different powdered materials are taken to the mixer and this
dissolve the different flour so that once recipe is produced with the combination of all the
ingredients.
Then once this is all done then the recipe is packed into the plastic bags which are then put into
the paper bags which are branded with our company logo of SM nutritious baby soy. However
before the sealing of the different packs they have to be put on a measurement so as to ensure
uniformity in the weights of our products and also gain trust of our customers through correct
measurements of our products.
Costs and analysis
The company will need shs 26000000= to buy the necessary raw materials which will include
soya beans, cassava(dried), millet, nkejje, maize, water and powdered milk among other.

SM is a name after the proprietor and the majority share holder of the company Ssenkumba Maurice. It will be a family business so that it can be passed on to grand children hence its survival for centuries. 1.1 Location of the Business
  • 9. SM will be located in Kyabakuza trading centre 5km along Masaka- Mbarara high way in Kimanya Kyabakuza sub -county, Masaka district making it an ideal location for our business. The business will be located at Kyabakuza trading centre along Masaka Mbarara road because Kyabakuza trading is a populated town economically growing so there is an opportunity of setting up a baby soy company due to increasing number of schools, institutions, organizations, banking facilities, population among others that will provide market for our products. Availability of security is another factor that we shall consider while locating our business. We shall locate our business at Kyabakuza trading centre because of assured security due to presence of a police station in the area. More so, availability of good transport and communication network will enable easy transportation of both the raw materials to the production plant and transportation of the finished products to the market areas and good communication networks will ease communication to both the suppliers of raw materials and customers. Another factor we considered while choosing the location is the availability of power and water which are very important aspect in establishing a baby soy company. Mainly power will be used for running machines and lighting respectively. The growing size of the population due to increased birth rate among the people in the area and the increasing number of immigrants within Masaka district and neighboring districts of Lwengo, Lyantonde, Rakai and Sembabule at large. This will offer ready market for SM products hence choosing such location. 1.1.2 History of the Business SM nutritious baby soy will be a private limited company formed under the partnership act of 1890. SM nutritious baby soy limited is a new venture that will deal in the production of quality and nutritious baby soy to satisfy customer needs especially the families with babies. The company will provide convenient and affordable quality baby soy mainly to the residents of the former Masaka region and the whole of East Africa.
  • 10. The business will start its operations in November, 2013 after acquiring the share capital of shs.40000000= and a loan from Stanbic bank of shs.20000000= to buy the necessary equipment and the starting raw materials. 1.1.3 Description of the Product The company will mainly produce baby soy in 1000gm, 500gm and 250gm respectively. The soy will be in powdered form and yellowish in colour due to the ingredients that will be used, the soy will be packed in paper bags that will be branded with the company logo so as to identify it from the products of the competitors. The ingredient that will be used in the processing of the baby soy will include; soya beans flour, nkejje, millet and silverfish among others. The baby soy will be at first for babies of the age of 7months to 5 years but after two years of operation the company will start to produce soy for elderly people so as to increase on its sales and also capture a bigger market share. 1.1.4 Market segmentation The baby soy will be produced for all classes namely the low, high, and middle income earners. Our market will be divided into three categories which include; The individual customers, these will include among others the house wives and this will be mainly through our door to door campaign of making people aware of our products. Organisations, these will include schools especially kindergartens and nurseries, orphanage centers, hospitals and child study centers (Sunday schools). And our last market segment will be retail shops and supermarkets both within and outside Masaka town and the supermarkets will include smart shoppers, downtown, and Tabulabyansi among others. 1.1.5 Characteristics of the product The baby soy will be packed in 1000gm, 500gm and 250gm respectively. The soy will be in powdered form and yellowish in colour due to the ingredients that will be used, the soy will be
  • 11. packed in paper bags that will be branded with the company logo so as to distinguish it from the products of the competitors. The ingredient that will be used in the processing of the baby soy will include; soya beans flour, Nkejje, millet, rice and silverfish among others. The soy will vary from brand name which will include baby soy millet, baby soy Nkejje, baby soy rice, and baby soy maize. Since the product will be produced and packed in different flavors that is; nkejje, rice, millet and maize it will attract more people to buy the product basing on their tastes preferences. However the weakness of this product is that it will go bad easily because there will be no preservatives. Also since the product will be packed in paper bags its likely to be prone to weather conditions especially coldness which will spoil the soy. These weaknesses will be solved by first packaging the soy in polythene papers then put them in paper bags. The weakness of lack of preservatives will be solved through supplying in small numbers so that my customers especially retail shops and super markets are not over stocked. 1.1.6 Risks expected to occur Since the major source of energy there is a possibility of fire out break due to short circuit. However the management will install fire extinguishers so that in case of fire out break the extinguishers are used to stop it from destroying the company machines.
  • 12. There is a risk of duplication especially from the small producers who produce poor quality products which may tarnish the image of the company. The company will solve this risk through monitoring the products in market so as to identify the duplicated products. There is a risk of workers especially those in the production department to get some accidents like cuts and wounds from the production machines. This will be solved through providing protective gears like groves, gum boots, helmets, nose masks and overalls Theft is also expected to be among the risks especially on the production plant so as to steal the production equipments like grinders and mixers. The risk will be solved through hiring a security guard to safe guard the company premises. 1.1.7 Future Prospects SM nutritious hopes to start up outlets in the towns of Masaka, Lyantonde, Kalisizo and Kampala and this will help the company to multiply its sales which in turn will lead to its development and growth. The company also hopes to expand the product line through introducing products for the elderly and also all ages of people also the company hopes to start producing maize and rice flour. There’s also a hope of producing to the outside world like Kenya, Tanzania and Southern Sudan. The company also hopes to produce animal feeds most especially the pigs since the spoiled baby soy can be eaten by the pigs also the maize brand will be used as animal feeds. 1.1.8 Goals and milestones SM nutritious baby Soy Company expects to achieve the following during its year of production. During the first year of operation SM nutritious company expects to be known by most of the people around the former Masaka region and this will help the company to increase its sales at 10 percent per month.
  • 13. During the second year of operation the company expects to open up an outlet in Mbarara and this will help the company to increase and product awareness among the people of Mbarara Lyantonde and Bushenyi. The company also expects to expand it premises through buying land from the neighbors and this will increase its production and storage capacity and hence the growth and development of the company. The company also expects to buy land so that it starts to plant its own raw materials like maize, soya beans and millet. This will increase the production capacity of the company and also reduce on the costs of production. 1.1.9 Uniqueness of the business The company will be providing credit facilities to its trustworthy customers like schools, institutions, hospitals and supermarkets this will attract more people to buy the products of the business. Given the fact that the business will be producing different flavors like millet, maize, nkejje, and rice it will attract more people to buy its products due to the variety that will be produced unlike its competitors who only have at most two flavors. In the pack of 1000gm I will add 10gm and this will attract more customers to our products and also reduce the prices by 100 ugx for every category compared to my competitors and this will attract more customers to my product. MARKET ANALYSIS 1.2 Market segmentation The baby soy will be produced for all classes namely the low, high, and middle income earners. Our market will be divided into three categories which include;
  • 14. The individual customers, these will include among others the house wives and this will be mainly through our door to door campaign of making people aware of our products. Organisations, these will include schools especially kindergartens and nurseries, orphanage centers, hospitals and child study centers (Sunday schools). And our last market segment will be retail shops and supermarkets both within and outside Masaka town and the supermarkets will include smart shoppers, downtown, and Tabulabyansi among others. 1.2.1 Product strategy SM nutritious baby Soy Company will use the following market mix to achieve its intended objectives. Price; The business will intend to use a competitive based pricing strategy to cater for business objectives and market position to generate revenue. We don’t intend to charge very high price even when our products will be of a n excellent quality compared to our competitors’. On the market 1000gm, 500gm and 250gm cost shs. 12000, shs. 6500, and shs.2000 respectively Product; At SM we shall deal in production of baby soy for babies between 7 months and 5 years but as time goes on we will diversify our production to cater for all the classes of people (the elderly, children and the youth). The soy will be in weights of 1010gm, 505gm and 255gm. The soy will be in powdered form and yellowish in colour packed in polythene and paper bags outside beautifully branded with the company logo and description “Baby soya the mystery behind healthy babies”.

Competition and competitive age Basing on the survey carried out by the managing director the company is operating in a relatively competitive market where there’s competition from locally made baby soy by companies like Kayebe sauce packers and Maganjo grain millers and also some small scale businesses like Balalo soy packers however these are not so threatening to the business since they produce in small quantities and also take a very small portion of the market.
  • 20. Assessment of competitors The leading producer in this industry is Maganjo and this is because the company has existed for a longer period and according to the survey the company was started in 1979 this has helped it to acquire experience and trust from the public. However, this company has some weakness operational and management operations which need improvement. Other competitors like NUMA, Kayebe, Balalo and East African Baby Soy are not so much known by the people though they have stayed in the market for quite long time so if SM makes intensive advertisements it can easily out compete them. Also given the fact that most of the companies are situated in Kampala it will be easy for SM to take over the Masaka region and its neighbouring districts within a very short time due to relatively cheaper costs of reaching these areas compared to the competitors who are far from Masaka. MANUFACTURING / OPERATIONAL PLAN Location of the Business SM will be located in Kyabakuza trading centre 5km along Masaka- Mbarara high way in Kimanya Kyabakuza sub -county, Masaka district making it an ideal location for our business.
