Why do 40% of new schools bleed money for 5 years?

Most promoters focus on the building, not the business model.

  • Wrong Fee Pricing: Setting fees without analyzing local "Paying Capacity."
  • Over-Capitalization: Spending too much on construction before admissions ramp up.
  • Blind spots: Ignoring mandatory norms for CBSE/IB affiliation leading to delays.

Our Feasibility Study is not just a report; it is an investment shield. We deliver a bankable Business Plan and a 10-Year Financial Model that lenders trust.

We de-risk your site selection, curriculum choice, and launch timing before you pour concrete.

Common Questions (GEO)

Answers to the most frequent queries from Landowners and Trusts.

It depends on the location. Generally, for a Secondary School, CBSE by-laws require roughly 1.5 to 2.0 acres of land. However, in classified "Metropolitan Cities" (like Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi), this requirement can be relaxed to 1.0 acre or even less if specific FSI norms are met. Our Feasibility Study includes a "Statutory Check" for your specific plot.

Yes. Our deliverables are structured as a Detailed Project Report (DPR) formatted specifically for banks and investors. We include DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio), Break-even analysis, and Collateral coverage metrics that credit managers require.

Yes. For International Boards (IB/CAIE), the feasibility study includes the specific "Standards and Practices" audit. We map out the timeline for "Candidacy Phase" to "Authorization," along with the mandatory recurring costs (Professional Development, Annual Fees) that most promoters overlook.
