This business plan begins by introducing us to the growing problem of chronic non-communicable diseases, which have a high mortality rate, so a solution is proposed by introducing into the Peruvian market a yogurt made with the probiotic strain Lactobacillus Plantarum, known for its functional properties that promote intestinal health and offer other benefits for general health. This business plan is justified by the shortage of products that are characterized by containing this probiotic strain, recently studied for its potential positive impact on health. The product stands out for the aforementioned characteristics, and for presenting a creamy “Greek Yogurt“ style texture, and for being natural, because it does not contain added sugars or flavors. Market research reveals a growing demand among people aged 18 to 64, belonging to medium and high socioeconomic levels, driven by awareness about the importance of a healthy lifestyle, thus providing a growth opportunity for the project. This research was carried out through a survey aimed at people enrolled in a wellness and health program in the district of Surco, using quantitative methodology. Happygurt's marketing strategy is based on offering our product, establishing an initial price with a 5% discount. The communication strategy includes advertising campaigns on various platforms, highlighting the benefits of the product accompanied by promotions to promote the product. Delivery will be carried out through home delivery services as well as in physical establishments, with the intention of expanding in response to an increase in demand and also achieving a presence in supermarkets. Regarding the projection of demand, a monthly sales objective of 2,400 units of yogurt in a one-liter presentation has been set, with the purpose of covering costs and achieving the desired profit margin. Detailed operations planning has been carried out, implementing operational policies in key areas such as quality control, inventory management, customer service, human resources, occupational health and safety, and supply chain management. The production process has been documented in detail using a flowchart and activity diagram, ensuring clear understanding and efficient execution of tasks. A solid production plan, purchasing and stock management, as well as quality management has been established to ensure efficiency and consistency in production. On a financial level, a cost structure has been developed that covers materials and production expenses, including direct and indirect labor, costs related to equipment and utensils, as well as indirect manufacturing costs. Assumptions have been considered in investments in fixed assets, depreciation, sales projections and financing analysis. According to the evaluation of the Net Present Value (NPV), both from economic and financial perspectives, it shows a positive value (s/115,754 and s/133,652, respectively), indicating that the project is viable. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR), applied to the financial cash flow, reveals an annual return of 60.44%, significantly exceeding the shareholder's opportunity cost (15%), which suggests that the project is attractive. Furthermore, the Investment Payback Period is 2.04 years, an acceptable time given the long-term projection of the business, and positive flows are expected to increase from the third year onwards. Together, these evaluation tools support the viability of the project.
