The economics look feasible: estimated monthly profit ranges up to $13,462 and break-even is projected in just 3 to 7 months, supporting a fast path to cash-flow stability.

Facteurs de risque

• Price sensitivity risk from $1000 GDP/capita may pressure class fees and limit growth
• Revenue volatility risk given the wide monthly revenue band ($15,120 to $25,920)
• Seasonality and enrollments risk that could extend break-even beyond the 3 to 7 month window
• Competitor density risk (65 nearby) increasing customer acquisition costs and promotional needs
• Operational cost escalation risk if staffing/equipment increases faster than profits ($5,686 to $13,462 range)

Plan d’exécution

1. Define clear beginner-to-advanced packages (kids, adults, and private sessions) priced to fit Kigali’s affordability reality
2. Differentiate the school with measurable outcomes (belt progression, fitness testing, sparring standards) and publish results on-site and online
3. Secure reliable facilities and equipment (mats, protective gear, uniform supply) to reduce downtime and improve retention
4. Launch a targeted local acquisition campaign with community partnerships (schools, youth clubs, churches/mosques) and referral discounts
5. Implement a monthly enrollment system with retention tracking and makeups to stabilize revenue within the $15,120–$25,920 range
6. Monitor unit economics weekly (cost per lead, conversion, average class attendance) to protect the 3 to 7 month break-even target
