4.0 Strategic and Market Analysis

4.1 Economic Outlook

This section of the analysis will detail the economic climate, the ambulatory service industry, the customer profile, and the competition that the business will face as it progresses through its business operations. Currently, the economic market condition in the United States is in recession. This slowdown in the economy has also greatly impacted real estate sales, which has halted to historical lows. Many economists expect that this recession will continue until mid-2010, at which point the economy will begin a prolonged recovery period. Among medical businesses, there are very few risks beyond standard operating procedural risks. The demand for medical services (including ambulatory transportation) remains high regardless of the overall economic environment.

4.2 Industry Analysis

Within the United States, there are 4,000 companies that provide emergency and non emergency ambulatory care services to the general public. Approximately 30% of these business operates in a not for profit capacity. Each year, these businesses generate more than $6.6 billion dollars a year while providing jobs to more than 111,000 people. Aggregate payrolls in each of the last five years have exceeded $2.7 billion dollars.

In this section of the analysis, you should describe the type of customer you are seeking to acquire. These traits include income size, type of business/occupation; how far away from your business is to your customer, and what the customer is looking for. In this section, you can also put demographic information about your target market including population size, income demographics, level of education, etc.

4.4 Competitive Analysis

This is one of the sections of the business plan that you must write completely on your own. The key to writing a strong competitive analysis is that you do your research on the local competition. Find out who your competitors are by searching online directories and searching in your local Yellow Pages. If there are a number of competitors in the same industry (meaning that it is not feasible to describe each one) then showcase the number of businesses that compete with you, and why your business will provide customers with service/products that are of better quality or less expensive than your competition.

5.2 Marketing Strategies

Management intends on using a number of marketing strategies that will allow the business to generate revenue from its ambulatory services at the onset of operations. Prior to commencing business, Mr. Doe will develop relationships with physicians, hospitals, out patient facilities, and physical therapy clinics. Mr. Doe intends to develop an expansive brochure regarding the Company’s services that will showcase the licensure and cost effectiveness of the Company’s services.
