Sakurako liked this new business class assignment a great deal.
The Ps of business
Product: Sakurako had decided a long time ago what product she wanted to sell in her project she wrote down. "I intend for my product to be tea. Of many different varieties and flavors.
Price: "If possible I would like to keep prices low enough to be competitive but high enough to make a decent profit, the prices in my tea house in my village in the Above were normally a few copper stars, but I am researching prices in the Below to see where they range."
Promotion: "I only used word of mouth in my village, but intend to learn about more formal advertising now, such as newspaper ads and commercials."
Place: "I want to open my tea house in a busy shopping area where the odds will be high for many customs to come to my teahouse."
Sakurako said she wrote everything down on her paper for the teacher to see and hopefully give her suggestions on what she could improve on for her business plan.
Rules: Every small business has to have an owner or owners, people who start the business and run it in its first stage. You will need to determine if you are going to run a one-person business or if you are going to take on a partner. Will you manage your business on your own, or will you get help? How will management be set up? Will you hire others to manage employees? It can be as simple or detailed as you like. Getting an idea on paper is the first step to making a business.
Sakurako wanted to run her own business as the owner, she was willing to consider a co owner if there was one that had her same goals in mind for having a tea house, serving and making tea. Sakurako would likely hire a hiring manager to help with employ hiring and placement, since she didn't think she wanted to do that all by herself though she might have to do some of it herself in tell she got her business off the ground. She started writing a list of the things she would need in reference to business ownership and management.

Sakurako considered how much she needed to get her business going, she wrote "I will need enough to either buy or rent a space for my tea house, I intend to either get a loan from a bank or require a business partner. I will also need the money to get the tea, furniture, and other supplies for my tea house, as well as uniforms, and capital to hire staff to help get the business running and making money of its own." Sakurako made a list of all the things she needed and the estimated cost for each and then started on the outlook for how much she thought her tea house could make so she could go to a bank and make her presentation or find a business partner.
