Facteurs de risque

• Revenue volatility: $7,875 to $13,500 range makes profitability unstable
• Negative-profit scenario: monthly profit can be as low as -$236
• Extremely long and uncertain break-even: 11 to 999 months
• Low affordability pressure: GDP/capita of $516 may limit memberships and retention
• Market sensitivity risk: with 0 nearby competitors, demand uncertainty can’t be benchmarked

Plan d’exécution

1. Validate local demand in Bangui with a 2-week enrollment campaign targeting 2–3 nearby neighborhoods and tracking lead-to-member conversion
2. Design pricing packages around affordability (e.g., intro month, student/senior tiers, class packs) to stabilize the $7,875–$13,500 revenue band
3. Optimize utilization by staffing schedules to fill peak times and offering beginner/rehab-focused classes that typically drive retention
4. Reduce fixed costs immediately (smaller initial room footprint, negotiate rent/utilities, use part-time instructors) to shorten the break-even window
5. Launch partnerships with gyms, physiotherapists, and corporate groups to create consistent weekly signups and referral pipelines
6. Implement a retention and reactivation system (onboarding + attendance targets + monthly membership offers) to avoid churn that causes profit swings
