Document Control
The proposed capacity of High School (Franchise) is 480 Students in one year.
Initial capacity utilization is estimated at 60% with a growth rate of 15% per
annum. This production capacity is estimated to be economically viable and
justifies the capital as well as operational cost of the project. However,
entrepreneur’s knowledge of education industry, experienced management,
qualified faculty and location of franchise are key factors for the success of this
project.
Total project cost is estimated as Rs. 5.801 million with capital investment of Rs.
5.121 million and working capital Rs. 0.680 million. Given the cost assumptions
IRR, Payback and Net Present Value are 33%, 3.62 years and Rs. 4.526 million
respectively. The project will provide employment opportunities to 27 people
including owner CEO. The legal business status of this project is proposed as
‘Sole Proprietorship’.
3 INTRODUCTION TO SMEDA
The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) was
established in October 1998 with an objective to provide fresh impetus to the
economy through development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
With a mission "to assist in employment generation and value addition to the
national income, through development of the SME sector, by helping increase the
number, scale and competitiveness of SMEs", SMEDA has carried out ‘sectoral
research’ to identify policy, access to finance, business development services,
strategic initiatives and institutional collaboration and networking initiatives.
Apart from carefully studying the whole document one must consider critical
aspects provided later on, which form basis of any investment decision.
The franchise networks advertise their business on national print and electronic
media for brand recognition. These advertisements provide a competitive edge to
the franchise over the single branch schools. Keeping in view the industry
situation, it is suggested to buy the rights of a franchise instead of open a school
with new brand name.
This pre-feasibility study describes investment opportunity for setting up of a high
school (franchise) in any small city of Pakistan to provide education to the children
of middle and lower middle-income group. The school will start its operation by
starting classes from Nursery to Matriculation (Secondary school). Providing
education from primary level onwards ensures consistent quality of education from
an early stage.
By offering quality education and modern facilities, the school is expected to earn
early recognition and parent’s trust and preference. The school can be opened in
major cities across Pakistan. The area should be selected near the residents of
middle-income group. The proposed project will provide employment generation to
27 peoples including owner himself as CEO of the business. The legal status is
proposed to be ‘Sole Proprietorship’.
6 CRITICAL FACTORS
Good working relations with Parent company for on time official work.
Experienced and well-qualified school-teachers are the most important
factor for success.
Proactive administration department is necessary in order to do all
administrative work.
Effective marketing campaign of franchise through different media like local
newspapers, cable networks and social media.
Campus location is key to success. If the location of campus is not easily
reachable for target market; franchise won’t be able to achieve sales
targets.
Interior of school campus and friendly behaviour of admission office staff
are critical as it gives the first impression to parents and students.
Continuous extra-curricular activities play a vital role in student growth &
development and parent’s optimism on school.
Regular parents-teacher meetings regarding students’ performance will
provide confidence to parents.
The following table shows internal rate of return, payback period and net present
value of the proposed venture.
