20. CONTROL OF
SOCIAL IMPACTS
• As all of the participants of our courses are poor children in the
community, we believe that the number of participants in our
courses is already one very direct way to measure the short-run
impacts.
• We will monitor the turnover rate of participants, collecting
feedback from tutors, students and parent, track the development
process of our students half-yearly to see if the impact is significant.
21. HUMAN RESOURCES
• Employ full-time or part-time administrative workers to process
orders.
• A promotion team to actively promote our courses, talented tutors
to teach the courses, accountants to manipulate the accounts,
public relation teams to speak to outsiders, coordination team to
book the venue and arrange the students to different courses,
social workers to deal with psychological barriers of some poor
children.
• To cope with the needs, we can recruit senior students studying
different programme to put what they learn into real use.
• Employ some supervisors to supervise the courses. We can employ
some professionals to take up the job.
22. Advisory needs
• We need advices in different fields. For instance, we need to know
important details on how to run an agency efficiently and effectively.
We need mentors from other agency company to skim through our
working procedures. Moreover, we need some social workers advise
us on the way to deal with those poor children or their parent who
may suffer from stress and depress, psychological illness or self-
containment. Furthermore, we need marketing advisors overseeing
our marketing strategy to see if it is on the right way.
23. FINANCIAL SUMMARY
• We aim at booking an office in industrial areas for our agency base. It is expected
that we need to cope with the following cost elements including the start-up cost,
salary for administrative workers, equipment and maintenance costs, rent and other
operational fee.
cost
revenue
• Our revenue is based on the commission received from our tutors. We estimate that
at the first year, there will be around 8% of poor children participating in our courses.
That is around 10000 children. Each contributes 10 dollars a month in average
participating in our course. We collect commission at 10% from our tutors. Our total
revenue would be around $180000. And we expect a doubling of participants each
year due to our increasing popularity as well as number and variety of courses.
25. Financing means:
We expect to obtain our start-up capital in different way.
• First of all, we will try to seek helps from impact investors such as the Social
Ventures Hong Kong.
• We can also get in touch with overseas investors through websites.
• Moreover, we can ask for government subsidy on social enterprises. The
subsidy lasts for two years and is enough to cover our expected net loss in
the first two years.
