Shareef Corner
Ruskin Felix Consulting LLC partnered with Shareef Corner to prepare a comprehensive valuation report. The report highlights the financial viability of the project by laying emphasis on the business risk, credit risk, competition risk while also analyzing the projections. The infrastructure outlay forms a significant part of the report. To understand how financially viable the project is, we have highlighted the projected turnover and projected expenses. The financial metrics further helps to understand the NPV and IRR, payback period and the capital that is required to be raised.
Some of the key risks associated with this type of business are as follows:
- Scalability and cost of acquisition
- Revenue maximization practices
- Distribution Network – Selection and Operation
- High reliance on specific distribution KDRs
There will be a credit risk that Shareef Corner will be exposed to as well if some parts of the operations are funded through debt. In such a case the assumed WACC of 10% may also change. Even with higher demand and opportunity in the market. Businesses that have focus on food products run the risk of depreciation or obsoletion of output produced in case of long-term storage. This increases the cost of warehousing as well as the need for assured demand for the output. With various players in the field, the sudden increase in competition might affect the long-term view of the business as product differentiation and distribution will be key to the operational success.
