Summary

4. The Project
The project aims to establish a car service station near the university.
There is no car service station near the university.
Breakdowns and servicing is challenging to access for students at the university.
The objective of the car service station is to provide convenient and affordable services for the university.

5. Analysing the problem Strengths Readily available market
Low start-up cost
Strengths – There is a ready market in place from the university students and staff. Low start-up costs are also a strength due to affordable equipment and a readily available location.
Weaknesses – Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia which reduces the available market. Another weakness is establishing an effective working schedule so that classes are not interfered with.
Opportunities – There is a high potential for growth because the proposed car service station would be the first of its kind in the area. There is also the potential to expand and add more services such as car wash.
Threats – There is the threat of potential competition once others realize it is a profitable business.
