Critical Negative Variables and Risks

• Wages and benefits may change as new bills come into play.

• Inflation is a factor, having been higher than usual in 2011 with escalation of fuel prices.

• Weather patterns – rains, less clients especially the mariner when it rains.

• Competition when it builds up.

• Political situation – elections 2016/7

Critical Positive variables

• Lakefront and people’s love for water

• Investment license:

- 5 year tax break with investment license- purchases (a percentage of VAT (currently at 18%) is reimbursed

• Tourism figures steadily and significantly increasing as are expatriate staff working and living in country.

• The Oil industry – more jobs = more people with income to spend

• Enthusiasm for spa and leisure (including mariner)

Return on Investment

• Though with initial loss in the first year because of initial investment costs and fewer running days, it will start to generate profit the second year

• Profit momentum builds in the third year and the original investment can be paid off by the fourth year.

• High IRR allows for contingencies that are still being looked at. Having this buffer makes the feasibility of the project good.

In conclusion…

• Like anything, there are conditions and hard work that must be met, and challenges that must be overcome, but….

• From the base business plan: a promising venture, and good investment.

• Good charismatic outlook.

• A definite potential winner!
