Description: Thobalwa Trading (Pty) Ltd is an innovative new company based in Germiston, Gauteng which will buy underused/dilapidated/old buildings and convert them to residential flats that will be resold after conversion. The company plans to rent out the buildings whilst it seeks buyers for the properties to maintain a healthy cash flow. Thobalwa Trading (Pty) Ltd was founded by Ms. Thobile Hadebe in 2016. The goal for this business plan is financial: Thobalwa Trading (Pty) Ltd needs funding of R 15 million and this document is one step in the process. It is also a road map for the company. The document gives all present and future employees, as well as the owner a sense of purpose that may exist without the business plan, but becomes more relevant after the business plan is written, reviewed, shared, and edited by all. It is a living document that will last far beyond the purpose of raising a loan, or if that doesn't occur, to bring an investor on board. This business plan is instrumental in helping the business understand the external environment, industry, market and internal environment that it shall operate in. It articulates the operational, marketing, human resource and financial requirements of the business. The business plan will be invaluable in the following areas: • Determining the commercial viability of the property business • Examining the business idea from different angles • Outlining a clear vision and mission • Outlining strategic goals and objectives and later devising comprehensive strategies • Establishing comprehensive measures to evaluate the success of the business Thobalwa Trading (Pty) Ltd.’s financials are realistic, and based on very conservative sales figures relative to the industry as a whole. That is because one of the goals of Thobalwa Trading (Pty) Ltd is to build the business one client at a time, and to serve each client as if it were the last. This is how loyalty is generated, and cultivated. Customer service is what Thobalwa Trading (Pty) Ltd will do best, and is a large part of the company's overall mission.
