Competitive Advantage
The existing field players are not flexible. As for me, I would be flexible enough to sort out customers at the point of need. You get what you ask at the time you ask.
My business will be different because I will apply a group lending methodology with field visits to identify needs and tailor products towards the same.
My advantages are sustainable in that I do create client loyalty for longevity and futurity of the business.
Rationale for the deal
This field is a vibrant one and what customers need is simplicity and satisfaction. Big lenders on the other hand are requesting complicated processes and bureaucracy.
I will secure revenue streams by establishing a clientele who when satisfied will make others come for services thus drawing income from it.
Other players are raking profits from small beginnings to bigger viable enterprises.
I have 7 years of experience in the particular business area and am well familiar with its specificities and opportunities.
