Confidential Business Plan
Khula Retail
A modern, community-anchored retail concept for Gauteng — built to capture a share of South Africa’s growing, urbanising retail market through a capital-efficient, customer-centric store model — structured as an investment-grade R4.6-million opportunity for lenders, equity partners and strategic stakeholders.
South Africa’s retail market is worth roughly R1.43 trillion and is forecast to reach about R1.84 trillion by 2030, driven by digital adoption, urbanisation and rising middle-class aspirations — yet many community catchments remain under-served. Khula Retail captures a share of this expansion with a community-anchored, capital-efficient store concept — an R4.6-million project reaching break-even in month 8, full payback of invested capital by Year 3, and scaling to R19.8 million revenue by Year 5 at a 15.2% net margin and a 34.8% five-year IRR.
