Opportunity
Problem
Our computers are our lifeline. If you don’t have a reliable channel, such as a friend or company, it can be difficult to find trustworthy expertise. We solve that problem.
Solution
PC Repair will offer computer and technical consultation (repairs or training, networking, upgrade service, etc.) to both small businesses and homeowners. The company’s focus will be on quality, marketing, and customer relations.
Market
Businesses that are skilled in computer-related advice and updating customers is essential because of the industry’s extraordinary technological progress. The majority of potential customers in town are unhappy with the existing options. This creates an opportunity for innovative start-ups. Our business will generate the largest share of revenue from small businesses that use PCs. Business Week projects that the computing industry will grow at an average rate of 12%. The processor speeds will continue to improve for years to come, making it a rich source for sales.
PC Repair is focusing primarily on the small business market. These customers don’t usually have a full time IT person but need full-time support.

Competition
Secondary market research shows computer service customers tend to be very loyal to providers that do good work and satisfy their needs. Our local competitors are weaker than ours, so PC Repair’s strengths do not seem to be overwhelming.
Computer maintenance and repair is fragmented with only a handful of large national companies and many small local shops. Many computers are repaired in store near the customer. However, parts needed for the repair can sometimes be delayed by major distributors and manufacturers. Large chains have solved the problem by stocking large quantities of inventory at all times. However, local stores allow customers to trade in their trust for some time and offer customers the opportunity to interact with them.
PC Repair has a strong relationship with a local distributor. We can do special-orders quickly, which is more expensive than usual channels. However, this will enable us establish a reputation for being prompt and responsive to our customers, especially those in small businesses. We plan to use this customer loyalty as a source of great word-of mouth marketing and steady development.
