INTRODUCTION

This chapter discusses regarding project background/rationale, trading name,

objectives of the study, project location, and operational definition of terms regarding the

1.1 Project Background/Rationale

The economic development in Tacurong City triggered the labor force sector,

ranging from adolescence to late adulthood; seek more ways to relieve their

stressors from school activities and office works, to stay healthy, and to maintain

body figure through an affordable wellness program. According to Dunn (1959)

wellness is a “state of health, which comprises an overall sense of wellbeing and

sees a person as consisting body, mind and spirit. Lifestyle and self-responsibility for

health see paramount in the quest for a better quality of the life. It is believed that the

term wellness has emerged from the WHO notion of ‘well-being’ and the concept of

fitness.

The concept of wellness was developed as a special state of health

comprising an overall sense of wellbeing which sees human being as consisting of

body, spirit and mind and being dependent on their environment. According to the

Stanford Encyclopedia (2007) wellbeing can be defined as ‘what is non-

instrumentally or ultimately good for a person’. It is more than just happiness.

societies because it involves dealing with the body, after the basic needs for food,

shelter and medical care base are already accomplished.

principle. The proponents of Touch Wellness Center believed that the chosen

name of the company shall communicate to the target clients a synopsis of the

business. It reinforces the key elements of the said business to convey the value

and uniqueness of those services to be offered. Furthermore, the proponents

The in-depth market research depicted in the Gantt chart will be used by the

proponents to gather and analyze useful to examine the existing wellness industry in

Tacurong City. The study is tailored in order that the proponents will be able to

determine what the prospective clients wants, market demand for wellness-related

services, and filter pertinent information how the Touch Wellness Center operate in a

dynamic business landscape. Further, this pre-operating study will expound clients’

opinions on a huge range of issues regarding services prices, package deal offers, and

recent advertising campaigns. It will help also the company reduce the risk of business

failures and also forecast future industry trend. The result of the said study will generate

relevant insights in developing the entity’s sound strategies, weighing the pros and cons

of a proposed decision, and determining the future path of the proposed business. It will

also help the proponents determine the viability and scalability of wellness center.

The strategic planning will set up comprehensive framework regarding how the

proposed entity set priorities, focus energy and scarce resources, strengthen

operations, ensure that company’s personnel are working toward common goals,

establish agreement around forecasted outcomes, assess and adjust the organization’s

direction in response to a changing environment. Further, it will lay down strategies on

how to counter the competitive edge of those wellness centers already existing in

Tacurong City.

Before the Touch Wellness Center officially commenced its business operation,

the five respective incorporators furnished memorandum of agreement to form a close

corporation. After promoting or attracting incorporators for the proposed business, the

Articles of Incorporation will submitted to the office of the Securities and Exchange

48
Commission, thereby attached the affidavit of the corporate treasurer that 100,000 of

the authorized ordinary share capital and paid at par of P24.00 per share. It is

highlighted in the said corporate charter that Touch Wellness Center will issue an

ordinary shares among its stockholders not more 20 as required by the law. Further, It

was stipulated the rights and qualifications for owning and holding those ordinary shares

and restrictions on their transfer.

Land investigation was conducted to determine if the land title is clean in all

material substance, free from any form eviction, and to register the purchase of the land

in the Registry of Property in Tacurong City. Technically, this was done to furnish

precise descriptions of the surface features of the land purchased, boundary lining,

topographic mapping and construction staking. Also land surveying is intended to

provide the evidence needed by the title insurer to delete certain standards exceptions

to area coverage.

The proposed business will start its construction design by defining its funding

availability, brainstorm and negotiate with other funder/executors or financiers. Then,

talk to City Planner. Rough sketch some ideas with executors/friends and integrate

design process. Interview architects regarding tall ceilings, massage and spa rooms

alignments, high windows, coupling functionality, and other technical aspects. Then,

hunt builders and subs; ideally, this includes a builder, plumber, mechanical, electrical

subcontractor. Architect draws up schematics for consideration. Have meeting- talk

through design goals. Produce schematic refinement and 3D model (use SketchUp).

Then develop drawings for City. Lastly, building permit will be secured from the Mayor’s

Office of City of Tacurong.

49
The process of recruitment and staffing constitutes the means by which

businesses find personnel including massage therapist, gym instructor, bookkeeper,

utility personnel and security guard. Accordingly, recruitment occurs at various times in

a company's life, although most intensively when a new business starts or when an

existing business undertakes expansion or new directions. The process begins with

extensive planning that goes on behind closed doors and continues through

recruitment, interviews and staff selection. A handful of options exist for small

businesses involved in the recruitment and staffing process.

Right after the above pre-operation requirements have been complied and the

completion of the business’s premise, the propose business shall now formally

commence its operation in pursuant of the requirement of Section 19 of the Corporation

Code of the Philippines, to wit; if a corporation does not formally organize and

commence the transaction of its business or the construction of its works within two

years from date of its incorporation, its corporate powers cease. The due incorporation

of any corporation claiming in good faith to be a corporation under this Act and its right

to exercise corporate powers shall not be inquired into collaterally in any private suit to

which the corporation may be a party, but such inquiry may be had at the suit of the

Insular Government on information of the Attorney-General.

Chapter III
MARKETING ASPECT

This chapter discusses about the market description and segmentation, analysis

of demand and supply, competitors, analysis of market gap and share, TOWS analysis,

and the marketing mix of the proposed business.

3.1 Market Description

The proposed wellness center primarily targeting those living in Tacurong

City who are part of the voting age population, earning an income equal or above

the minimum wage in the City. But it is noteworthy that the researchers will not

limit its market prospects to those financially stable, yet college students are

highly welcome having no source of income but are receiving allowances, and

also we mean not to underestimate the willingness to Tacurongnons who are

considered living below the poverty threshold yet have extra money. Touch

Wellness Center will offer no discrimination as to the income level, as long as

clients are willing to avail its services and capable to compensate it according to

the fixed price established.

During the market study conducted by the researchers, it was noticed that

there is significant opportunity in establishing the wellness industry in Tacurong

City. Additionally since Tacurong City is the center of Sultan Kudarat, a large

number of labor force is concentrated in the City, translating this fact that some of

the workers may find time to relax after work or during free day, massage and

51
spa will be one of their list where to spend their quality time to release stress and

gain body refreshment. Touch will provide in demand wellness-related services in

Tacurong City yet it will also offer additional services which have a demand but it

was not yet offered within the City, thereby capturing those Tacurongnons who

used to spend more on logistics just to avail like yoga lessons, mud bath,

hipbath, and yoga detox for holistic wellbeing.

3.1.1 Market Segmentation

The market targeted by the proposed business is the segment in the

population of Tacurong City who belong to the voting age, 18 and above. Income

level of Tacurongnon was also considered because the demand of wellness

related services will not count only as to the willingness of the target market but

also their financial capability; hence the computation of demand multiplier was

adjusted to stratify the population falls outside the threshold of poverty incidence

level of 21.6%. (PSA, 2015)

3.2 Analysis of Demand and Supply

This section of the study focused in scrutinizing the historical demand and

supply of wellness-related services within the area jurisdiction of Tacurong City.

Further, projected supply and demand will also be presented. The projections

made in this study left the statistical technique of computation because the

researchers cannot establish reasonable correlation on the data gathered for

projection, hence economic indicator was used as the yearly supply and demand

multiplier because this percentage provide a reasonable economic potential in

52
calibrating the growth of the industry being studied. The economic indicator used

is the average GNP of the Philippines from 2015 to 2017.

3.2.1 Analysis of Demand

This section focuses on the historical demand of each service to be

offered by Touch Wellness Center encompassing the period from 2015 to 2017.

Included also in this part of the paper is the projected demand covering five-year

period from the commencement of the operation of the proposed business. It is

noteworthy that the figures presented in the tables below represent the number

of service sessions demanded and not the head count of those willing and

financially capable who may choose to avail wellness-related services.

5.3 Business Assumption

The proposed business is finance by 23%-77% ratio of equity and debt

financing. This capital structure will provide the company a sound economic

opportunity by having adequate source of funding to start the business. In this

system, revenue in rendering services is recognized only when cash proceeds is

received from the customer. This payment scheme will streamline the

bookkeeping process and prevent the company from exposing in credit or default

risk arising from the financial incapacity of customer. The cash basis policy will

not require the company to establish provisions for uncollectible accounts.

The selling price is based on the competitive market prices reduced by 50

cents. The prices will remain constant within the five-year period for the forecast

of financial performance.

126
The cost of services comprises the direct materials, direct labor, and

overhead cost. The direct materials are variable cost. The direct labor is

composed of compensation to yoga instructors, gym instructors, Zumba

instructors, massage therapist, and bath assistant. Inclusive in the compensation

are the share of the employer in SSS, Philhealth, and Pag-ibig. The overhead

cost comprises the cost indirectly traceable in rendering service which includes

the supplies, depreciation, electricity, water, and repair and maintenance. A 5%

level of supplies inventory is maintained based on the gross purchase of supplies

in the current year. The depreciation includes 75% annual deprecation pertaining

to the building, and full annual depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment

but also to give chances of opportunity for those people who are looking for a source of

income to survive day to day living by means of employing themselves for work.

to perform their jobs and helps them advance their careers. They will be more

productive and efficient persons and at the same time, they will have an opportunity to

gain self-confidence and courage on how to act or perform accordingly in their chosen

field of work.

The proposed project will be subjected to a 30% tax which will eventually form

part in the income of the national government to finance their projects for social and

civic development of the country.

Chapter VII
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

After series of qualitative and quantitative analysis, surveys, computations of

financial data, and interviews of respondents, the researchers of the proposed TOUCH

Wellness Center had come up with the following findings, conclusions, and

recommendations:

7.1 Summary of Findings

redeem peace of mind. The strategic location of the business will provide greater

reach of the target market, thus attract more clients.

imposition of ethical standard will diminish the public preconception that wellness

center under the segment of massage and spa is a frontline for prostitution.

4. Unemployed Tacurongnons will get a job in TOUCH Wellness Center provided

they are competently qualified and passed the screening process for hiring.

Through work engagements and trainings, personnel will increase self-worth and

enhance their respective skills.

7.3 Recommendations

regarding the establishment of TOUCH Wellness Center:

1. The proposed establishment of TOUCH Wellness Center is feasible and market

viable, thus it is recommended that work program designed may now commence.

139
2. Operational audit should be conducted to ensure strict compliance in standard

operating procedures and service quality. The prices established must be

adjusted whenever the current market demands.

3. Customer feedback must be considered to initiate service improvement. Work

ethics should be given high value.

4. Provide a reasonable compensation to all personnel. Design programs for

personnel skills development and teambuilding activities.

5. Though the market survey of this study focused exclusively within the area

coverage of Tacurong City yet other neighboring Municipalities in Sultan Kudarat

are welcome to avail the services of Touch but it’s just that they are not included

in the demand analysis of this study due to some reasonable constraints in

obtaining dependable data.
