2.2 Models/concepts/frameworks
Porter’s five forces: is a model that explain why a variety of industries and companiesare able to sustain different levels of profitability and how to analyze the market takinginto account the activities of the competitors, this is a way to critically overview theopportunities and properly define the market.PEST: Companies aim to serve their customers, but they must do so in anenvironment with many other Influences. At the widest level is the macroenvironment ofPolitical, Economic, Social and Technological (PEST) influences that all organizationsface. Besides this companies also face a unique micro environment, including suppliers,competitors, channels of distribution and publics - such as employees and the media - thatare not necessarily customers. (Philip Cotler, 1999)SWOT: this analysis draws the critical strengths, weaknesses, opportunities andthreats (SWOT) from the strategic audit. The audit contains a wealth of data of differingimportance and reliability. SWOT analysis distils these data to show the critical items fromthe internal and external audit. The number of items is small for forceful communications,and they show where a business should focus its attention (Philip Cotler, 1999)

6.1.1 Supplier relationships
The supplier that the business will take care the most will be the electric bicycle fabricin China because they are going to be the base of our business and will supply us with theelectric bicycle and all its parts, so we will need to create a strong and long termrelationship with them in order to get the best prices and the product on time, the electricbicycles will be replaced entirely after 6 months of usage to always deliver the bestexperience to our clients, so we are going to make two orders per year of electric bicyclesand parts, and if it’s necessary there will be visits to the fabric to ensure the quality of theproduct that is shipped to Honduras.The second most important supplier will be the souvenirs supplier to enhance theexperience of the customers, this mean that we have to ensure that will be a long lastingand high quality souvenir, this relationship will be based in the quality of the deliveredproduct to make the customer happy with their gifts.Renting the bicycles; this activity is the main activity of the business it will include toshow the bicycles models to the customer and show the functioning of it and what kind ofactivities the customer can realize in the island with the bicycles and offering the freecycling tours to enhance the experience.

conclusions
The business shows very positive indicators to make the investment, ithas profitable revenues according to the low investment and low operations costs, itwill return all the investment in 18 months, the investment is beneficiated by the,low entry and exist barriers. It will be successful because There is no directcompetitors to the business and all the political, social, legal and economicenvironment is positive to develop this business plan in the island, indicating thatthe business can be developed with ease in the island The most important part of this business plan is the relationship with thecruise lines who have ships in Roatan without them the business cannot berealizable and the cost of operation could vary depending on the deal that ournegotiator can get with this companies, that is why I recommend to start thenegotiations with this companies before starting any of the operations needed forthe business. The success and the sustainable growth of the business model depends onthe creation of a strong brand and a high corporate social responsibility. Accordingto the recollected data the tourism sector will grow more in the coming years, thisis especially true in an island like Roatan that focus all their efforts on tourism. The implementation of this business will have a direct impact on thecommuting in short distance trough the island for the tourist and the local, creatinggreen alternative ways to serve as an example for other cities in the country and thefirst seed in the change of paradigm on the way of transportation in Hondurasbecause there are no green commuting alternatives until now.
