The profit after due considerations of the expenses are 1,140,000 for first year, 2,400,000 for year 2 and 3,560,000 for year 3.
The cash flow position is equally good and encouraging by the second year through the third year.

From the point of view of the analysis of our findings, the proposed project is found to be technically feasible, financially viable and economically desirable. Thus, the project offers good investment benefits and is therefore highly recommended for implementation.

PART II
2.0 Introduction of Tailoring / Sewing Business Plan

The planned MIRACLE tailoring project is the result of assessment studies undertaken in Enugu specifically University of Nigeria Enugu Campus and Enugu State University of Science and technology. The studies unveiled that the demand for good and quality clinical and pre-clinical lab coats, theatre gowns, natives and traditional wears is high among students, while there are few tailors to meet with this demand. Also it takes an experienced tailor to be able to sew this cloth material according to the standard and style expected from the university, and, I being one of the students that use this product often will be in the best position to provide them.
Vision
To be an extra ordinary and outstanding provider of tailoring services in Enugu particularly in the University of Nigeria Enugu campus and Enugu state University of Science and Technology.

2.2 Mission
To use the best cotton materials in sewing the clothes at affordable prices for students thereby adopting good marketing strategies to achieve my aim.

Key Success Factors
The use of best cotton materials gotten from reliable dealers in sewing
Use of good advertisement strategies to get products known to all and sundry
Further trainings in entrepreneurship to know new ways to best manage the business
Existence of trustworthy and accessible market outlets

2.4 Inherent Risk
a. The establishment of this business might attract competitors.
b. As a student there will be a divided attention as this business will be conflicting with the time allotted to my studies
c. If I establish my enterprise in university environment will it stand the test of time in event of any demolition of structures inside the campus?
d. There are plans to use effective methods to checkmate these identified risks.

2.5 Business Ownership
The business is a sole proprietorship entirely owned and managed by Miss Obioma Oluebube Miracle.
Location Factors
The MIRACLE tailoring project is located at University of Nigeria Enugu Campus and Enugu State University of science and technology what induced the choices of this location are
Its closeness to Ogbete market at Enugu where I can possibly get raw materials easily which includes cotton
There are buildings in the campus environment which I can rent easily.
Its closeness to students thereby reducing the transportation risk
There is reliable electrical power supply for the machines I will be working with.
There is good road network and ease of market access.

Available Market
Information from survey carried out shows that about 45,000 clinical and preclinical lab coats are demanded yearly 27,000 theatre gowns yearly and 30,000 native wears yearly are demanded among students in Enugu State University of Sciences and Technology and University of Nigeria Enugu Campus. A total of 102,000 cotton products are demanded yearly in Enugu. These figures keep rising because more people now go to the University. The current dealers are only able to meet up with
37 % of the demand thereby leaving about 63%demand –supply gap implying a huge market available for new entrants into the business. This gives hope to individuals who want to undertake the enterprise.

This is a white overall cloth covering greater percentage of the body. It is worn by medical doctors, radiographers, Nurses and students in college of medicine during their clinical postings in the hospital, when this product is ready I will sell it to these classes of persons.

Pre-Clinical Lab Coats
It is almost the same with clinical lab coat; the only difference is in the length. Pre-clinical lab coat is longer and so covers greater part of the body. It is worn by all second year students in the college of medicine both at University of Nigeria Enugu Campus and Enugu State University of Sciences and Technology during their practical exercises to shield and protect them from dangerous chemicals. I have plans of selling this particular product to them.

It is made to protect both the patient and medical personnel from cross infection. I have plans of making it available as soon as possible before they start this clinical posting which is normally as from July up till they graduate.

This is worn by students and some campus fellowships during their week activity. The whole departments in the faculties we have in the campus usually have programme, they call this week. During this programme, cultural exhibition is done among the things we normally have and students are to appear in their respective traditional attires. I have plans of getting my product ready before this cultural activity so that students who do not have traditional attires can get theirs from me.
