Financial Plan

Budget for Expansion:

The estimated budget comes from a detailed assessment of Kenya's travel sector conditions
that combines operational expenses with cost structures together with industry price points
from the travel and tourism domain. This cost analysis includes actual expenses regarding
office space occupancy along with staffing and marketing budgets together with technology
and operational spending which all consider local living environment and salary rates as well
as commercial building lease rates. These expenses obtained from Numbeo (2024), Knight
Frank (2024), and CEIC (2024) align with local financial business standards which promote
project financial sustainability.

The expansion budget is made to balance the first investment with future profits. Key
expenses include office space, staffing, marketing, technology upgrades, licensing, and
training. These are mostly one-time investments needed for business growth.

Additionally, annual operational costs such as utilities, office supplies, and logistics ensure
smooth daily operations. The total budget for the expansion is planned, and long-term
growth will be supported by company funds, partnerships, loans, grants, and profits.

Below is a comprehensive budget:

 Partnerships: Seek 6,000,000 ETB from local investors.
 Loans: The company plans to secure 5,000,000 ETB from domestic financial
institutions with operations in Ethiopia.
 Government Grants: Companies should pursue tourism expansion grants which both
domestic and international institutions release funds for.
 Revenue Reinvestment: A system will channel first and second-year revenue streams
into operational investment.
 Crowdfunding: The public fundraising effort aims to gain 2,500,000 ETB by
targeting members of the Ethiopian diaspora alongside people interested in visiting
Ethiopia.

ROI Analysis
Using the projections:
The planned expansion demonstrates its profitability through the Return on Investment
(ROI) evaluation.
 Initial one-time investment: 10,000,000 - 20,000,000 ETB
 Ongoing operational costs (5 years): 8,500,000 - 12,500,000 ETB
 Grand Total (after 5 years): 18,500,000 - 32,500,000 ETB
 Estimated expenses starting from 18,500,000 -32,500,000 ETB over five years
produce a projected 880,000,000 ETB in revenue thus resulting in exceptional
profitability.
A break-even period of minimal duration is predicted for the second year of operations as the
company project shows complete recovery of its investment.
