Answer 1

Business:

• The startup business base idea is to provide an e-commerce platform to the people with a wholesale availability to the customers. This is a service which will help the users buy more products at less price.
• We are targetting business persons, shopkeepers, etc. to be major part of our customer base. The role of Information technology is going to be a major part in building the platform as we are trying to get on with the mobile devices too as they are the most used devices nowadays and also becomes portable to operate.
• The data collected of the user can be saved in the cloud space making it possible for us to increase the performance of the application. This will also make for the backup of the data by which we will not have to focus on the backup and recovery later on.
• As we all know there are not many companies into such business plan right now which can add up to our competitive advantage. Getting the customer base first is what can be proved to be the best competitive advantage that a company can get on with.
• We would like to achieve these goals by getting on the track faster for which we would like to claim a partnership of $50000 through which we can easily speed up the development process and get on the field as soon as we can.

Hence, these are the steps that we are going to take together in order to increase the business and make it a successful business.
