TESTS OF PROJECTS VIABILITY: In appraising the project, the viability tests have been made, as follows, on the basis of the factors and/or aspects prescribed in Form5:
3.1
Appraisal of the Sponsors/Entrepreneurs : The overall management and operation of the project will be under the joint supervision and guidance of the promoters as mentioned earlier. A brief description of background and experience of all the sponsors is furnished hereunder :
Engr. Bellal Hossain Shikder : The Managing Director of the Company Engr. Bellal Hossain Shikder, aged 39, is a B. Sc. in Civil Engineering from BUET and also an MBA form the University of Dhaka. He is a well experienced in Information Technology (both hardware & software). He has been running business in this sector for more than one year and has already achieved remarkable success. His success in the relevant sector made him confident enough to take up a venture in larger shape. Engr. Bellal Hossain is a social worker and he is engaged in various socio-cultural activities. Engr. Faizul Hoque Shikder : Engr. Faizul Hoque Shikder, aged 27 is a B. Sc. in Agricultural Engineering and an M. Sc. in Food Technology. He is a Director of the Company. He is an experienced businessman in IT sector, who has been doing this business for more than one year. Engr. Faizul Hoque is a young, dynamic person who is devoted to business in IT sectors. He is very much enthusiastic and confident about success in IT related businesses. Engr. Faizul Hoque is a good organizer and social worker. He is a popular person in his community and spends time to do social well being.
3.2
The project has been designed mainly for developing computer software and selling the same at both local and foreign markets/buyers. The software have been getting an increasing
demand day by day, but the supply situation (production of software) has not been at a level in relation to demand. For this reason, there prevails a demand-supply gap (i.e. supply deficiency) in this sector, especially in the western countries. The main and the most valuable component of the software industry is the IT professionals. Fortunately, Bangladesh is enriched with this type of professionals who possess the highest brilliance and excellent ideas/innovations. But this is yet to be focused in the international arena. And if this can be highlighted before the world, it could be a great source of foreign currency for the country. The project is environment friendly. So, it will put no adverse effect on the environment. Rather, it is likely to create employment for a good number of educated people and thus will play a satisfactory socio-economic role. The project is of utmost priority set by the present Government with a view to developing the software sector, which will ultimately contribute significantly in the economic development of the country.
3.3
Financial Feasibility: The project is financially feasible. This is indicated by the following evaluating factors:
Breakeven point :
60% of :
assumed capacity.
25 %
5 years 40%
and 3 months.
3.4

Factors Gross profit to sales (%) Projects Ratios
Year-1 51 Year-2 40 Year-3 39 Year-4 38 Year-5 38
Operating profit to sales (%) Net Profit to sales (%) Debt-service Coverage Ratio (times) Fixed Assets Coverage Ratio (times)
18 13 2.95 1.83
10 07 2.57 1.81
10 08 2.65 1.77
12 09 2.81 1.72
14 10 2.99 1.64
3.6
SWOT Analysis: Strengths: The project location is an excellent one and it enjoys a good communication network with all infrastructure facilities being available. All the promoters are financially sound and have the affordability of equity participation against their respective shareholdings in the company. The promoters of the project are all highly educated with bright academic records. So the project is enriched with the persons who are quite sound and capable in business management and operational aspects.
Weakness: The software industry in Bangladesh is still at its infant stage. People do not come forward to develop this sector mainly due to financial incapability and some sort of confusion about its prospect.
For competing in the international market, volume and quality should be significantly high to achieve the acceptability.
Opportunities: There is a vast market demand of the software, especially in the western countries of the world, which is getting an increasing shape day by day. So the software developing projects of the country have a lot to exploit it. Talented professionals required to run this type of venture can be obtained locally. This will enable the project to have a costbenefit advantage. The software project will be socially and economically well accepted and environment friendly having no adverse effect on the surrounding areas.
Threats: The resourceful brilliant professionals may leave the country for better prospect and living standard in absence of their desired placement. The software project may face struggle to survive in absence of vigorous marketing efforts.
Political unrest may cause some problem in case of the projects desired progression.
