  • Alfresco LLC is a startup business based in Managua, Nicaragua. The aim of Alfresco is to help create healthy nutrition habits in Central America’s homes by providing fresh, organic, high quality products with no sugar added and free of lactose and gluten.
    The salad dressing industry in Nicaragua is relatively mature and it’s characterized by a medium level of fragmentation. However, organic salad dressings are currently inexistent, therefore, this would be a disruption in the lifecycle of the industry. Moreover, since there are no competitors in the organic segment, there is a market gap that has not been covered yet; that is exactly the segment that Alfresco will target.
    An initial investment of $4,362 is required to start the business. As shown in the financial section, we forecast to recover the investment in year 3.
    One important risk is the fact that there are a lot of substitutes for salad dressings. However, the busy consumers’ lifestyle backed with the heavy advertising efforts and the high quality of our product, will help us overcome this obstacle and succeed in the industry.
    Overall, we believe that there is a big opportunity in this industry and we expect to break even before the forecasted time.
