Business plan is vital to company success

Proposal is formal attempts to convince someone to approve, sponsor or a project and it is a persuasive offer to solve problems. At first, Mdm Farah and Mdm Liza introduce us what is business proposal are all about. There are 2 types of proposals: solicited and unsolicited proposals. We are focus on solicited proposals and it is the situation when large companies published a Request For Proposals (RFP).  RFP is an announcement for specific projects and outlines what proposal should cover.

The components of proposals include:

1.    Copy of RFP

2.    Letter of transmittal

3.    Executive summary

4.    Title page

5.    Table of contents

6.    List of figures

7.    Background, problems, purpose

8.    Schedule

9.    Staffing

10.  Budget

11.  Appendix

We were asked to come up with the ideas or projects and make proposals. Our group’s (Super Synergy) chose the project on “Production of Bioplastic from Food Waste”. The reason why we chose this topic is because it is relevant issue regarding the abundant of food waste and to capitalize the cheap source to more useful products.

The purpose of our project would be to invent alternative biodegradable plastics from low cost sources, and to create awareness about the importance of using bioplastics in the society. In this activity, we are exposed on how to write effective proposals and work together with the group members. Cooperation and team players is very important to make this project successful!
