Facteurs de risque

• Revenue range variability ($189,000–$324,000) may pressure cash flow if occupancy is slower than expected
• Break-even assumes stable demand; delays could extend beyond the 3–5 month target
• Low GDP per capita ($1,773) may limit pricing power and the proportion of paying members
• Competition pressure from the nearby competitor (1) could force discounts or reduce differentiation
• Brick-and-mortar fixed costs in Kaolack could reduce margins if utilization drops

Plan d’exécution

1. Choose a visible, accessible Kaolack location and secure 12–24 months of lease terms with controllable rent increases
2. Launch tiered memberships (hot desk, dedicated desk, meeting room passes) aligned to local willingness-to-pay and target utilization
3. Create flexible event offerings (startup meetups, training, coworking days) to drive steady member acquisition
4. Differentiate with reliable internet, power backup, and practical services (mail handling, printing, phone-booth style spaces)
5. Implement a 90-day occupancy plan with weekly KPIs (walk-ins, conversion rate, member churn) and adjust pricing/promos quickly
6. Build partnerships with local businesses, universities, and freelancers to stabilize recurring bookings and corporate day passes
