3. Executive Summary
• Seawave aims to provide the market with quality products
that will save the consumer time and money.
• The products in our portfolio are new generation innovative
and use the latest technology to provide electricity saving,
time saving and ultimately a water saving.
• With the drive to Go Green and save energy, these products
will help the consumer achieve their goals.
• Seawave is a company that is consistently looking for new

4. The Team
• This business is a family run sole proprietorship.
• The focus is on the sourcing quality products that help to
save energy and money for the consumer.
• Lesley – Comes from a PA back round and also has run family
businesses including Petrol stations and Distribution
companies.
• Gary – Is in the Aviation engineering field and has also been
involved in family businesses in the Fuel retail and consumer
products distribution.
5. Opportunities
• There is a potential market of 200 000 units per annum.
• Realistically a market share of 25% could be attainable.
• The largest task will be changing the mind set of the
consumer.
• There will be a need to educate the consumer on why these
products save time, energy and water.
• This will be done through advertising and demonstrations
6. Business Concept
• Our products use magnetic induction to heat the water.
• With the water heaters this is achieved by magnetic induction
resistance that heats whole storage tank. This results in the
water being heated quicker than a conventional heater.
• With the Induction cookers, the concept is the same but the
magnetic resistance is used to heat the pot and then the
product in the pot. This again results in the product in the pot
heating (cooking)a lot quicker.
• Both of these products will save time and ultimately money
7. Competition
• The competition comes in various forms.
• 1) The traditional water heater companies.
• 2) Solar heating companies.
• 3) Heat pump technology companies.
• 4) Instant water heating companies.
• Solar and Heat pumps are very costly and are not ideal to all areas of SA.
• Instant water heaters are suited to single use and therefore a unit for each
hot water tap outlet is needed.
• Our product is competitively priced to the traditional water heater and so
is a product that the consumer can see immediate results in savings.

15. Resource Requirements
• Requirements for the following resources:
– Personnel - Seawave is a family run business.
– Technology - There will be a need to travel to the factory in China at
least once a year to gain new development knowledge.
– Finances - As mentioned in the Finance plan, a capital investment of
USD300 000.00 would be needed to secure the business.
– Distribution – Seawave is in the process of signing agents in the
various provinces in South Africa and we are actively looking for
agents in the SADC region.
– Promotion – This will be done through the print media and at various
home expo and improvement shows within Southern Africa.
16. Risks and Rewards
• The only risk for this business will be the unlikely prospect of
sales not reaching the full potential. All feedback has been
very positive and we believe these products will sell
successfully.
• The possibility of these product exceeding expectations is high
and the resultant rewards will be very good.
• All funding for the start up operations will be paid back well
within the allotted time frame of 30 months.
17. Key Issues
• Near term
– The most important decision on the success of this business is the
funding to allow for continuity of stock holding and marketing.
– If this is not made available then there is a very likely chance that the
opportunity will be made available to someone else..
• Long term
– The long term issues will be for funding availability to expand the
products in our range .
– If this is not available then the business will stagnate and not grow
with new products coming out on the market.
