Business Description: (Short description of the business you will be starting.)

Talakag is a progressive municipality of Bukidnon Province. It is situated in the eastern part of District I of the

province. In the early 2000, Talakag was classified A in the classification of municipalities. The sprouting of businesses

from different industries have been causing the growing population, and the increasing demands for both goods and

services. The population of schools both public and private have increasing significantly as well. With these, the demand

for computer services and printing and its related services brought a problem that caught our attention. At present,

there is only one service provide r in the town where it serves only 15 percent of the demand for such services. Survey

shows that 85 percent of the market will have to travel to the nearest city (Cagayan de Oro) to have their computer

works and printing, bookbinding, lamination, photocopying and other related services incurring an additional expenses

like, fare, meal, and snacks.

On the basis of our desire to service the needs of students, teachers, office workers, and industries and not to

mention the huge demand for the services and a promising profit, Guinayon & Partners, Limited will venture into

the business with a business name, D’ Explorer Computer & Printing Services.

Proposed Start Date: January 4, 2018
