Risk Analysis & Mitigation
A structured risk register and the mitigation measures covering credit, funding, operational, regulatory, market and execution risks.
The risk register below prioritises the risks that independent
analysis has shown to be material, rather than a generic list. The four
analytical findings map directly onto the top four risks.
| Risk | Likelihood / impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Warehouse facility not secured | Medium / Critical | Arrange in principle at close; stage-gate G3; slow rollout if unfunded |
| Debt service uncovered in ramp | High / High | Extended grace, DSRA, equity-first sequencing, cash sweep |
| Margins below sponsor case | Medium / High | Underwrite to normalized case; refurb margin as upside |
| Store-maturity drag on revenue | Medium / High | Cohort ramp tracking; pace openings to funded capacity |
| Warehouse rate rises | Medium / High | Hedge floating exposure; price into loan yields within NCA caps |
| Credit / collateral loss | Medium / Medium | Conservative LTV, valuation engine, forfeiture recovery |
| Intake of stolen goods | Medium / Medium | ID verification, fraud detection, police database links |
| Regulatory (NCA/NCR) | Low / High | Ring-fenced registered entity, compliant cost-of-credit model |
| Execution / rollout velocity | High / High | Franchise leverage, stage gates, experienced operators |
sensitivity
Because the book is funded ~75% by a floating-rate warehouse
facility, warehouse interest grows to R277m by Year 5 — the largest
single interest cost in the plan. A 200bps rise in the warehouse rate
would add roughly R57m to Year-5 interest, compressing net profit. This
exposure should be partially hedged and, to the extent the NCA
cost-of-credit caps allow, priced into loan yields. It is a first-order
risk that an EBITDA-focused reader would miss entirely.
