EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PROPOSED NAME OF THE BUSINESS
Cozy Connections Is the name of the business. The chosen business name
– Cozy Connections, enables it to immediately attract the attention of customers
who seek a quiet spot that gives out a peaceful ambiance — as the name of the
entity suggests, where they can fully concentrate on doing their academic loads
or work.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INDUSTRY
It provides a study or working area, such as a separate or solo desk, a
shared desk, and a private conference room. The study hub will be built on a
plan that can be comfortable for the customers for their convenience and a
conducive place they can utilize for studying, working, and accomplishing tasks
to be due.
LOCATION OF THE PROJECT
The Cozy Connections will be in Brgy. Zone-4, Pasong Tala, City of
Dasmarinas, Cavite, where it is accessible to the students. The location will
provide an advantage for the business since it is close to many schools and is
therefore accessible to students who are seeking a place to study. In addition,
the location is also near some establishments and malls and accessible and
15
Business Department
visible to the market since it is along the highway, wherein potential customers
can spot it easily.
MANAGEMENT ASPECT
The management aspect of this study will analyze the effectiveness of the
organizational setup as well as the qualifications of the individuals who will be a
part of the organization's management team. Cozy Connection's Study Hub has
built a management structure that flows from its partners down to its employees.
When it comes to the form of business organization, Cozy Connections will be
organized as a general partnership where all the parties voluntarily agree to
commit to preserve and regulate the proper management of the business, which
will be applied and recognized.
MARKETING ASPECT
The marketing part of this study intended to identify the factors to be
considered in establishing the business and assess the financial basis through
the projection of demand. Moreover, Cozy Connections has determined its
internal strengths and weaknesses, as well as analyzing possible opportunities
and threats in the external environment of a business. The result will enable the
proposed business to not only assess how well it is performing currently but also
to plan for and mitigate future risks. In addition, Cozy Connection utilized modern
technology, which is social media, as well as benefit factors like loyalty cards, as
a way to promote and market its business and for the customers to patronize it.
16
Business Department
The proponents of the business also used a traditional marketing tactic, which is
through flyers directly to people as a means of making potential customers aware
of our products and services.
TECHNICAL ASPECT
The technicality of the study discusses the furniture and fixtures, the
machines and equipment utilized in the operational process, as well as other
components of the process of operations like printing. The operational and
service processes of Cozy Connections' Study Hub were also determined to
ascertain the flow of services that will be provided to the students. The costs for
machinery, furniture, fixtures, equipment, and supplies are examined to serve
their function and provide flow to the order of operations.
FINANCIAL ASPECT
The Cozy Connections Study Hub demonstrates consistent growth in net
revenues from 2024 to 2028 while showing an increase in operating expenses
and income taxes but a positive trend in net income.
The rising trend in Net Profit Margin reflects effective management of
expenses and operations, resulting in a higher percentage of net income relative
to net sales, highlighting the company's profitability and operational efficiency.
17
Business Department
The upward trend in Gross Profit Margin indicates effective control over
operating costs, resulting in a higher percentage of gross profit relative to net
sales, signaling operational efficiency and strong financial performance.

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Study hubs have been more popular over the past several years, and they
are frequently related to freelancers and other self-employed individuals.
However, several studies show that multiple users can be identified, including
students, self-employed workers, small businesses, large businesses, extended
workers, and organizations of all sizes.
Study hub or co-working spaces are no longer just for freelance workers,
remote employees, and start-ups. Student populations are becoming more
accessible in coworking spaces. Students who work from coworking spaces are
increasingly seeking to balance employment and study. Without needing to build
an entire facility to manage their business operations, these places allow them to
work alone and together.
Since most schools are now having hybrid classes, students can also find
coworking spaces conducive to studies. College students can benefit from the
flexibility and study-life balance that coworking spaces can provide. They can
take advantage of these coworking spaces for their studying sessions, project
huddles, and even space to brainstorm for their thesis. Study hubs offer a much
more comfortable, relaxed, and convenient environment where students can
focus on the tasks that they need to do. The pandemic has shown that young
19
Business Department
people can study and work remotely with no harm to their progress. However,
their productivity can be affected by the space around them. By creating a study
hub, students surround themselves not only with conveniences but also with like-
minded people who can help them in the future in a very high-quality way in life,
study, and work.
Furthermore, finding a quiet, tranquil spot to read can be difficult for many
students, which can make it challenging for them to concentrate on finishing their
academic work and meet their deadlines. With that, the proponents came up with
the idea to establish a place where students can relax while studying. Cozy
Connections is a study hub for learning and a destination for book lovers and
students alike. It provides a setting for pre-arranged meetings and conversations
with peers to collaborate on projects and group tasks and a private space for
those who want to be alone.
Cozy Connections Study Hub not only typically provides services to
students who are naturally passionate about their educational career; these
people frequently spend their time either alone or with their friends in a secure
and relaxing environment. Given that the main target market of the business is
students. This is appropriate for students, professional and non-professional
workers, and graduate students who need a peaceful space to concentrate and
focus.

partitions that the customers can choose from if ever they want a secluded area
where they can focus on working with their tasks alone, and a separate meeting
or conference area that is great for small to medium groups for pre-arranged
meetings and conversations with peers to collaborate and discuss important
matters on projects and group tasks without disturbing others.

Business Department
The proponents came up with Cozy Connections as the name of the
business. The main aim of Cozy Connections is to provide a comfortable and
quiet place for students and professionals seeking a peaceful area with fast
internet, and a conducive environment for meetings and studies. The chosen
logo shows its business name – Cozy Connections, which enables it to easily
attract the attention of customers who seek a quiet spot that gives out a peaceful
ambiance — as the name of the entity suggests, where they can fully
concentrate on doing their academic loads or works.
1.2 FORM OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATION
In establishing Cozy Connections, the proponents decided to have a
partnership as a type of business organization wherein each of the proponents
will contribute capital for the business formation. The proponents regarded
partnership as the most feasible and suitable type of business organization to
adopt, considering its advantages and disadvantages.
In terms of contribution to the organization, the partners agreed to share an
equal amount of money for the initial capital of the business. Thus, the net profit
or loss, along with the liability that will be incurred in the operation of Cozy
Connections, will also be divided equally among all partners. Moreover, they also
agreed to contribute expertise in managing the business operations to ensure
that the business will provide a quality of service.

1.6. ORGANIZATIONAL CHART
Cozy Connections will use a hierarchical organizational structure to
properly distinguish the level of authority and allow an efficient flow of
communication within the organization by determining the right person to whom
to report and raise concerns. A hierarchical structure ensures that decisions are
being made by an appropriate individual by clearly defining the roles and
responsibilities of each person in the organization, thus leading to more effective
implementation of strategies and faster decision-making (Ravulapally, 2023).

market. The business will offer a comfortable ambiance, friendly personnel, and
an engaging atmosphere that is suited to the needs of the customers for an area
that will enhance their productivity and allow them to accomplish their tasks.
Contribution to the Government
In many ways, a country's government and business entities are linked
and interdependent. Cozy Connections’ primary contributions to doing business
in the community are greater employment and discretionary income, as well as
higher tax revenue for local governments. As a Filipino citizen, the owners of
Cozy Connections will pay taxes and other fees rendered as mandated by the
law to avoid any violations happening and for the continuous operation of the
business. Taxes will enable the government to raise more funds for road repairs,
school development, and public service improvements. The outcome will
therefore provide development to the economy.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Summary of Findings
Establishing a study hub is feasible. It is a good business venture because
students or even professionals nowadays are seeking for a place that offers a
comfortable, relaxed, and convenient environment where they can focus on the
tasks that they need to do. Cozy Connections Study Hub is feasible. The
increasing trend of its return on investments means that their financial
performance is improving throughout the five-year projected operations and they
are considered profitable.
Conclusion
The proponents conclude that the proposed business is feasible based on
the study's findings, presentation, and results. Cozy Connections demonstrates a
thorough and strategic approach to establishing a study hub. The location of the
business is a perfect spot where it would be in a well-known and easily
accessible because of the nearby schools surrounding the establishment where it
is visible and noticeable to potential clients in the area. Cozy Connections Study
Hub is a great business idea because most students prefer a place where they
can work on their tasks and study their lessons without much disturbance. With a
well-defined business structure, clear differentiation strategies, market analysis,

and detailed technical aspects, the foundation of Cozy Connections is laid for a
successful launch and efficient operations. In addition, the financial projections
indicated that the business would generate a positive income during the first five
years of operation. The projected cash flow statement and income statement
outcomes substantiate the business’ viability and are financially feasible. From
the information given, it is possible to determine that this proposed business is
feasible.
Recommendations
Based on the following studies, the researchers suggest the following:
• The proponents recommended keeping up with the current trends in the
industry to keep up with market competition. It is also important to
maintain a high customer volume by improving the services offered.
Employees should also be more cooperative about the business and how
to improve their work, as well as to support their professional
development.
• The part-timer to be hired should have related training or be
knowledgeable in managing facilities, especially since the main goal of the
business is to satisfy the needs and expectations of the students or any
possible customer and to always be able to approach.
127
Business Department
• Establishing a study hub is highly recommended to give the business its
distinct feature. The proposed business, like any other study hub in its
early stages, is far from perfect but can be improved over time, and this
business should be applied and operated for further research.
• Maintain a cozy and conducive environment with reasonable prices.
• Annually, the business should measure customer satisfaction to identify
both the positive and negative aspects. The goal is to improve service
quality, increase customer satisfaction, and build trust.
• The researchers propose extending the facility and branching out after five
years in nearby towns where there are no or few direct competitors.
