The business will operate as a sole proprietorship, with the capital being used to pay and cover all necessary documents, equipment, ingredients, and salaries of employees. The initial capital required is Php 700,000.00, which will be allocated to registration and permits amounting to Php 13,050.00, equipment amounting to Php 50,708.00, packaging materials amounting to Php 37,785.60, supplies amounting to Php 3,153.00, rent amounting to Php 42,000.00, and utilities amounting to Php 58,800.00.

This initial capital is intended to cover all business expenses for one year. The business will operate from Monday to Wednesday. On Monday and Tuesday, the business will operate between 4:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon. This process includes baking, cooling, storing, and packaging the product. Deliveries will take place every Wednesday from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. It is anticipated that production will grow by about 10 percent each year, based on survey results conducted within the target market. The target market for the business is selected coffee shop restaurants in Binangonan, Rizal. Based on the study conducted through survey questionnaires, 82.61 percent of coffee shop restaurants expressed interest in adding tofu brownies to their menu, while the remaining 17.39 percent stated they were not interested. The survey findings support the expectation that many coffee shop restaurants would be willing to buy the product, which indicates a promising customer base. The projected demand for tofu brownies in the first year is estimated to be 13,248 boxes. This demand is expected to grow at a rate of 10 percent each year. On the other hand, the current supply from the top competitors in the market totals only 10,000 boxes annually. This leaves a gap between the demand and supply of about 24.52 percent or 3,248 boxes of the total demand. The business aims to fulfill 20 percent of the unmet demand. In the local market of Binangonan, Rizal, four main competitors currently control 76 percent of the brownie market and Bean and Brownie holds a strong position with 20 percent of the market share. The remaining 4 percent is shared by other smaller suppliers in the area. To compete and to match the production levels of the top competitors, the business has set its production capacity at 3,000 boxes per year. This capacity aligns with the goal of filling the gap. The company's sales are anticipated to rise annually. The estimated sales for the first year of business in 2025 are Php 864,000.00. Sales are predicted to increase by 10 percent a year in the upcoming years. Accordingly, sales are anticipated to reach Php 950,400.00 in 2026, Php 1,266,265.00 in 2027, Php 1,393,041.00 in 2028, and possibly Php 1,532,375.00 in 2029. The formula for calculating the increase in sales is to multiply the first years sales by 10 percent and then add the result to the first year's sales. Monthly sales are projected to generate Php 72,000.00, and annual sales are projected to total Php 864,000.00. Sales are expected to increase by 10 percent annually, based on demand surveys. Gross sales will be calculated after deducting the cost of goods sold or production expenses. Profits generated will be reinvested into the business for the following years.
