Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort Business Plan

The Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort business plan presented on the following pages is based on research for a Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort business in Inawayan, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. It was developed by self-made marketing specialist, Bernardo F. Basmayor, Proprietor of Bottomline Interactive Multimedia Speech Laboratory and Educational Technology. Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort Scenario Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort is located at Inawayan, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. The currently non-operational organic fertilizer facility, containing an area of 23,240 sq. m., is available for sale at Php250.00 per sq. m.. Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort is seeking a Php7,793,000.00 loan to completely purchase the land located at Inawayan, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur and to develop the site into a memorial park, coupled with a well landscaped resort facility. The business can have a minimum total sales revenue of Php84,000,000.00 for the total 5,600 lots available for sale at a minimum of Php15,000.00 per lot, aside from the income generated from the sales of mausoleum, maintenance service fees and the resort fees. Prevailing price of memorial lots is Php20,000.00 to 79,000.00 per lot (from actual interviews and from internet sources). The purchase of this 23,240 sq. m. area is a good purchase because this is cheap and the area is very strategically located near the Inawayan cemetery; located in an area where industries are speedily booming; and the property includes: a building for the main office, a chapel, 2 dormitories, a training facility, a kitchen and dining area, a demo house, and fence Big bonuses to the purchase are the main office building, chapel, dormitories, training facility, kitchen and dining area and demo house. The dormitories, training facility, kitchen and dining area and demo house can be renovated to suit to the design of a mausoleum. By owning the facility, Blue Heaven can increase its equity for an amount twice of the loan amount or even higher, because the current selling price in the area is now at Php500.00 to Php700.00 per square meter. Aboitiz Power is buying the lots for the Coal Fired Power Plant at Php700.00 per square meter, while Abear family and other land owners in Binugao, a barangay adjacent to Inawayan, are offering their land for sale at Php1,000.00 per square meter. This is because of the sprouting investments in Binugao and Inawayan, like the following: Beer Na Beer, Virgin Cola, Pop Cola, CJ Toyota, Ayala High Ponds, Aboitiz Power and many others. Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort will establish its niche in the memorial service and resort facility. Projections for 2011 show that it is reasonable to expect expansion of its customer base to new markets and territories. Cash Flow projections support the assumption that the company

will have sufficient funds to purchase other lots and equipment and hire additional employees to support implementation of the marketing programs and expansion plans. How is this business plan organized? The Organizational and Marketing Plans for Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort reflects the companys current status and its plans for its future expansion. It is important that the marketing plan provide convincing evidence supporting the feasibility of the loan. The lender needs to know that the company has the ability to increase its market share (and revenues) enough to insure that it can repay the loan and interest and still maintain its profitability. Financial Documents need to reflect the companys history and project its future. T0 provide better presentation, it is assumed that this company has been in business for one year (2011) and is seeking a loan. Therefore, the financial documents need to begin with a summary of financial needs and dispersal of loan funds statement. The next section includes projections and historical financial statements for the 2011 business year (first year in business). They will show how well the company met its original projections and what its current financial status is. The third area to be covered in financial documents will address the companys projections for the future (2011-2015) projected cash flow, fiveyear income projection, and projected balance sheet. The closing pages of the financial section contain a financial statement analysis of the companys history and future projections. Utilizing the financial information developed previously, ratios are computed and matched against industry standards. Management: Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort is managed by Bernardo F. Basmayor. He has five prior years of experience in the funeral and memorial business, working for a local funeral parlor and as a salesman of memorial plans. Previously, he worked in a variety of service industries selling and marketing products and services. Basmayor has prospective employees to establish a strong team of very dedicated people who love to work with nature. As manager his role is to identify new business, develop and implement marketing activities, and to negotiate and close new contracts. Current Market: Today the memorial park business serves only individual accounts, with small family accounts, and currently no large corporate accounts. The services include: entombment, lawn care and maintenance. The success of the company is a direct result of Blue Heavens ability to provide personal service at a competitive rate, offering unique resort facility, landscaping and design, lawn care and maintenance, thus creating a dedicated customer base. Currently, the minimum average cost for a memorial lot is Php25,000.00. Due to congestions in public cemetery and the new law decongesting the public cemetery, memorial park becomes an important part of the society to give decent burial for the departed. Projected Market: The projected growth rate for the funeral and memorial services industry, based on the previous years is 28%. Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort is expected to be expanding its business with new location, new equipment, marketing, and additional employees to meet and exceed that demand. Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort is expecting to grow its customer base by 50% based on the demand, its unique offering, and planned marketing activities.

Loan Repayment and Loan Security: The Php7,793,000.00 in loan funds will be required for the acquisition of the 23,240-square meter lot and for its development into a memorial park and resort. Repayment of the 5-year loan, plus interest, can begin promptly in January, when loan is approved and released in November. Early retirement of the loan is anticipated, possibly by the end of tax year 2013. In addition to the property and facility, itself, the loan can further be secured by the lot to be acquired as owners equity which is, currently valued at, Php11,162,000.00, if based on the price value of Php500.00 per square meter or Php16,680,000.00, if based on the buying price of Aboitiz for the Coal Fired Power Plant at Php700.00 per square meter. The property can have a market value of Php23,240,000.00 if based on the selling price of Abear family and other land owners in Binugao who are offering their land for sale at Php1,000.00 per square meter. The lot can even have a high Php84,000,000.00 when it is based on the projected sales of memorial lots plus the sales and maintenance of the mausoleums and the revenues of the resort.

Today that service will be offered in Inawayan and Binugao only. The plan is to open markets in Digos, Panabo and Tagum over the next 3 years. It is important to note that these Memorial Park and Resort with oriental garden design landscaping are not only a unique service; they are also the companys premium high ticket service and provide a larger profit margin, directly impacting the companys bottom line.

Products and Services Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort offers three categories of memorial services to three varieties of customers. The customers consist of

Individuals, Families, and Large Corporations or Cooperatives. Each group has the option of purchasing the same types of services. A memorial service includes funeral cortege, last rites and entombment. Lawn care includes, mowing, weeding, planting, re-sod, pest control, and maintenance. The third service offered is resort viewing. This will attract more customers and advertize the memorial park through word of mouth advertizing which us now termed as Viral Advertizing. Landscaping gives the site soothing and enticing quality. All the plantings are high quality and are purchased from a local nursery that has been in the business for over 15 years. Blue Heaven also aims to have an arrangement to use the nursery as a consultant when there is a need for it. Customer Profiles The following are descriptions of the three types of customer and the services that are typically purchased by each.
1. Individuals in mid-income to high-income areas, typically purchase

memorial lots, lawn care that consists of mowing, weeding, pest control, and maintenance. Additionally, 50% of the Individual customers also purchase lawn maintenance contracts for their lots, and these customers are charged a minimal flat fee and a per call fee, with an up-front deposit to insure they get priority service. There are two people assigned per lawn care and maintenance job: two part-time college students, over-seen by a supervisor. This job can take an average of two hours to complete.
2. Family is the second type of customer. They typically consist of family

members or immediate relatives and require a mausoleum and landscaping care, weed and pest control and minimal lawn mowing. The average time required to service this type of account is three to four hours with one supervisor and two or three part-time employees. All the family accounts have a contract for maintenance and security. A pre-determined amount for the contract is negotiated in Oct. for the four months November thru February, with a per call fee for the month of May, which can have unpredictable rains. These customers require quick response times and are charged for that level of service, as they need to accommodate their own family members during visiting hours, especially during All Souls Day and All Saints Day.
3. Large Corporate Accounts or Cooperatives Accounts are the

third type of customer. They require the same services as the Individual and Family Accounts. The accounts that are being targeted will require an average of one follow up per month. This is the area to be expanded over the next three years. To support the marketing campaign every week during the marketing months, one sales representative is hired and dedicated to marketing for every company and cooperative. Corporate and Cooperatives Account contracts are negotiated individually, and may be paid through salary or membership deduction, which range from Php500.00 to Php1,000.00 per month depending on the length of installment and specific landscaping and maintenance requirements. These customers also require immediate response times especially in November during the All Souls Day, All Saints Day and anniversary visitation.

By exotically landscaping the periphery of the lot and develop a resort facility II. Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort needsPhp7,793,000.00 in loan funds to completely purchase the 23,240 sq. m. area, in Inawayan, St. Cruz, Davao del Sur. Repayment of the 5-year loan, plus interest, can begin promptly in April 2012. Early retirement of the loan is anticipated, possibly by the end of tax year 2013. Loan Fund Dispersal Statement Dispersal of Loan Funds Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort will utilize the anticipated loan in the amount of Php7,793,000.00 to purchase the facility (land and buildings) in Inawayan, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur and to support the cost of development and marketing.

2. Back-Up Statement a. The land is currently has a market value of Php6,000,000.00 to Php7,000,000.00 per hectare. Attached buildings are appraised at Php1,557,492.72. The owner, TACDRUP, through its Managing Director, Migdonio C. Clamor, Jr. issued an Authority To Sell to Bernardo F. Basmayor. b. Bernardo F. Basmayor, having the Authority To Sell from TACDRUP, through its Managing Director, Migdonio C. Clamor, Jr. for the above-mentioned parcel of land, initially offered the property to Korean nationals who expressed their interest in organic fertilizer production and to a businessman who wished to use the area as hospital waste management facility.

c. Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort came to the mind of Bernardo F. Basmayor after intensive research as he received some queries about the availability of lots in the area to be used as memorial park but these investors shy away because the price of land in the area is so high that sky rocketed to Php1,000.00 per square meter because of the massive industrial development in Binugao, Davao City and Inawayan, Davao del Sur.
d. Bernardo F. Basmayor might be so lucky that he has the

Authority To Sell the property at only Php250.00 per square meter. Purchase of the land and buildings will enable Blue Heaven Memorial Park and Resort, with no additional expense, to repay the loan + interest and to use the value of the land, as equity, which value is estimated to be at Php16,268,000.00 using the price of land purchased by Aboitiz for their Coal fired Power Plant at Php700.00 per square meter. The land can have a market value of Php23,240,000.00 when the Abear familys price of Php1,000.00 per hectare is used in the assessment.
e. The buildings sit on a 23,240 square meter parcel of land,

centrally located in Inawayan, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur, near the Inawayan Cemetery.
f. The lot is fenced and gated at the front side. There is a 30 square

meter building, more or less, that serves as the main office and a large attached training center, with 2 dormitories, a kitchen and dining area, a chapel and demo house. The Php7,793,000.00 in loan funds when approved by October can be used just-in-time in order to present it for public viewing during All Saints Day and All Souls Day.
g. When the loan is approved and released in October, loan

repayment can begin promptly on April 1st, 2012 for a 5-year period. The company has a strong cash flow and a rapidlygrowing market. Early payoff is anticipated in 2013.
