NU 12 Week 6 - New business idea

Camille A. Dela Cruz

As everyone knows, I work as a National Key Accounts Executive under the Consumer Sales Division in Kimberly-Clark Philippines; in short I’m a salesman. If one works for the sales function, he/she is not required to stay in the office but is encourage to work outside the office. So given this scenario, we are forced to look for places where we can work, other than our own homes, after field works. Most of the time, coffee shops are the first choice however not all coffee shops provide sockets where people can charge their laptops, some don’t have wifi which is crucial requirement for us to have our work done and some just don’t allow us to stay the whole day.  Given this huge hindrance, I came up with an idea to provide a place wherein it is very friendly and welcoming for people who are mobile and don’t have offices but their homes.

The idea of the place is like a quaint library/coffee shop where people are allowed to work and eat delicious food at the same time. The place will have all the amenities of a person working in an office. The place will provide amenities and services that include, sockets, books that people can borrow or aid them of their work, magazines and newspapers for people to read, a printer, a fax machine and the most importantly delicious food and drinks. This place will definitely address a need of a growing market of people who are required to work at home but wants to work outside their homes and who are required to work outside the office. Now they have a place where they are comfortable to work in. < a business center> 4
