Feasibility Study

Feasibility Study Deliverables — Business Plan & 10-Year Financial Model

Our feasibility engagements culminate in two bankable deliverables: a Business Plan that translates research into strategy, and a 10-Year Financial Model that quantifies CapEx, OpEx, fees, staffing, and cashflows. Together they de-risk site selection, format/board choice, fee strategy, and launch timing for greenfield K-12 schools.

Why these deliverables matter

Investors, lenders, and boards need decision-grade documents, not slideware. The Business Plan aligns concept, positioning, facilities, staffing, marketing, and risk; the Financial Model validates sustainability and scenarios (ramp-up, sensitivity, IRR). Used together, they convert a market thesis into a practical, financeable plan.

Deliverable 1: The Business Plan (what it contains)

1) Background & Market Validation

Context, catchment, paying capacity, board preferences, and why the location/format makes sense now.

2) Concept & Vision

Vision/mission, learner profile, values, and differentiators that will anchor pedagogy and culture.

3) Academic Model & Student Experience

Board(s) (CBSE/ICSE/IB/Cambridge or mix), learning stages, co-scholastic program, technology enablement, transport & safety.

4) Facilities & Space Program

Campus concept, collaborative learning spaces, indicative facilities matrix (capex/premium-ness/revenue opportunity), and phasing options.

5) Organisation & Staffing

Operating model, leadership structure, staffing plan (teaching/admin), hiring & retention approach, and non-monetary incentives.

6) Brand, Admissions & Marketing

Positioning, value proposition, channel mix (ATL/BTL/digital), collateral, parent engagement flow, and budgets.

7) Risk Register & Mitigation

Regulatory/land/execution/competition risks with mitigation strategies and governance rhythm.

8) Roadmap & Milestones

Launch plan, break-even goals, accreditation pathway, medium-term brand/academic milestones.

Deliverable 2: The 10-Year Financial Model (what it covers)

  • CapEx: land, civil & finishing construction, furniture/fixtures, equipment, IT, pre-operatives, corpus; with phasing.
  • Ramp-Up: grade-wise student ramp for Years 1–10; fee growth and capacity thresholds.
  • Revenue: tuition, admission/annual/transport/ancillary where applicable.
  • OpEx: salary by role bands, housekeeping/utilities per sq ft, IT/AMC, consumables/materials, training %, repairs & maintenance.
  • Staffing & Ratios: student–teacher and student–staff ratios; leadership & support headcount by year.
  • P&L, Cash Flow, Balance Sheet with working-capital view.
  • Sensitivity & Scenarios: admissions ±X%, fee ±Y%, salary inflation, capex overrun; impact on break-even/returns.
  • Investor Pack: summary metrics (EBITDA timing, payback windows, IRR bands) for decision meetings.

Our approach (how we build these)

  • Translate research → plan: your market study’s facts flow into concept, facilities, and fee strategy.
  • Co-design with promoters: align board/format, site phasing, and admissions positioning with your constraints.
  • Finance-first discipline: every assumption is traceable (capex/opex drivers, staffing tables, grade-wise enrolments).

What you receive (files & formats)

  • Business Plan (PDF) — 60–90 pages with executive summary, strategy, facilities, org, marketing, risk, and roadmap.
  • 10-Year Financial Model (Excel) — fully linked sheets for CapEx, staffing, fees, P&L, BS, CF, and scenarios.
  • Board Deck (PDF) — 25–35 slides distilling the decision story.
  • Data Room Pack — assumptions register, source list, and editable templates for future updates.

Indicative timeline & working style

  • 4–6 weeks from kick-off:
    • Weeks 1–2: assumption lock-in, data room, early model skeleton
    • Week 3: first cut model + plan structure
    • Week 4–5: iterations, risk & roadmap, scenario tests
    • Week 6: sign-off and board presentation
  • Weekly check-ins and a mid-project playback ensure no surprises.

Sample outputs (what the documents show)

  • Facilities matrix (capex vs premium-ness vs revenue opportunity) guiding optional add-ons.
  • Grade-wise ramp & staffing tables aligning teacher hiring to admissions reality.
  • Marketing budget roadmap by channel (ATL/BTL/digital/PR) for Years 0–3.
  • Risk register with probability/impact and mitigation owners.
