From concept to investor-ready: How we helped build a credible business case for a salt refinery in Mozambique.
A client approached us with a clear vision: establish a premium salt refinery to serve Mozambique’s food processing industry – a market with no local supplier of triple‑refined, free‑flowing iodized salt.
But a strong idea alone doesn’t secure investment. What was missing was a robust, data‑backed financial and strategic foundation.
We partnered with the client to turn that vision into reality through:
📊 Market research – Analyzed trade flows (OEC data), national production statistics, and import volumes to quantify a 127,500-ton domestic consumption gap and validate import substitution potential.
📈 Realistic financial projections – Built a 5‑year cashflow model with monthly phasing, production ramp‑up (10 tons/hour capacity), seasonal inventory buffers, and break‑even analysis.
⚙️ Operational & cost modelling – Detailed CAPEX allocation (machinery, warehouse with crane, vehicles, software) and OPEX (labour, raw salt procurement, logistics, utilities) to ensure every dollar of the $1M investment ask was justified.
📉 Sensitivity & risk analysis – Presented best‑case and worst‑case scenarios, giving investors a transparent view of potential outcomes.
The result: An investor‑ready business plan that doesn’t just describe an opportunity – it proves the numbers behind it.
If you’re building a capital‑intensive business and need more than a pitch deck – you need a financial model that withstands scrutiny – let’s connect.
