The aim of this report is to form a business plan about an entrepreneurial venture.

Lockout has been declared at a lot of places to prevent the spread of the virus and people are confined within their homes. Schools and colleges are mostly closed since the last year end conducting only online classes. Some of the students are facing issues with it add most of the teachers who used to teach live are also not comfortable with the online approach. The aim of this business to simplify the studies for the students through interactive features. The teachers will not just teach the students about various facts but will also show them those with the use of interactive features. This will enhance the understandability of the students. Regular tests will also be taken so that the students can check their knowledge.
Efficient teachers will be hired can teach from their homes. Graphic designer will be higher can make interactive slides of the topics that the teacher will cover. For now, only website platform will be used. In future, apps will be made. Several courses will be designed based on the standard syllabus of Australian schools and colleges. Every topic will be covered from primary school to graduation level in every stream of subjects.
The learners will be able to attend the class at live session with the teacher and can interact with the teacher. In case, the timing of the life class does not suit the student or he want to revise and check the class later, then he can access the recorded version of the class later as well as per his convenience. If the student gets any query at the time of accessing the recorded class, he can send the query to the teacher, who will reply him within a stipulated amount of time. The student can interact at any time with the teachers through video call.

4. Ethical issues:
It is very important to continue business with honesty, integrity and morality in order to sustain in the long run (Bauman 2013). it is desirable for the business organization not to adopt any unethical practices or policies. It is very important to maintain the data privacy of the students as well as of the teachers from the hackers and cybercriminals. Theft of data has become common crime in the age of internet and technology (Son et al. 2013). But the company is responsible for the data integrity. In case of loss of vital data, there is both reputational risk and financial risk for the business organization. It will not only lose the reputation in front of its consumers and other key partners but also will have to pay litigation fees and other kind of settlement fees to the aggrieved parties which will cause loss of financial resources.
