2 PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT


The objective of the pre-feasibility study is primarily to facilitate potential entrepreneurs in project identification for investment. The project pre-feasibility may form the basis of an important investment decision and in order to serve this objective, the document / study covers various aspects of project concept development, start-up, production, marketing, finance and business management. The purpose of this document is to facilitate potential investors in Driving School by providing them with a general understanding of the business with the intention of supporting potential investors in crucial investment decisions. The need to come up with pre-feasibility reports for undocumented or minimally documented sectors attains greater imminence as the research that precedes such reports reveal certain thumb rules; best practices developed by existing enterprises by trial and error, and certain industrial norms that become a guiding source regarding various aspects of business set-up and its successful management. Apart from carefully studying the whole document, one must consider critical aspects provided later on, which form basis of any investment decision.

3 INTRODUCTION TO SMEDA
The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) was established in October 1998 with an objective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). With a mission "to assist in employment generation and value addition to the national income, through development of the SME sector, by helping increase the number, scale and competitiveness of SMEs" , SMEDA has carried out sectoral research to identify policy, access to finance, business development services, strategic initiatives, institutional collaboration and networking initiatives. Preparation and dissemination of prefeasibility studies in key areas of investment has been a hallmark of SME facilitation by SMEDA. Concurrent to the prefeasibility studies, a broad spectrum of business development services is also offered to SMEs by SMEDA. These services include identification of experts and consultants and delivery of need based capacity building programs of different types in addition to business guidance through help desk services.

5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This particular Pre-feasibility is for LTV Driving School. Driving is a skilful task that needs proper training and knowledge of traffic laws and regulations. There is a tremendous increase in the number of vehicles particularly in the urban cities of Pakistan. Moreover, the government has been taking steps towards effective implementation of traffic regulations. This has created a demand for formalized driver training and provision of road safety information, thereby creating an opportunity for establishing a Driving School for a prospective entrepreneur. The project is proposed to be set-up in a suitable locality of any urban city such as Lahore, Karachi, Sukkur, Hyderabad, Faisalabad, Sargodha, Multan, Quetta, DI Khan, Nowshera and Peshawar. Keeping in view the nature of services, there is a minimal requirement of establishing a formal office. The facility will comprise of 3 vehicles and employ 4 individuals including the owner/manager. The total capacity of the training service center will be to train 720 drivers annually. During the sessions, trainees shall be familiarized with the basic rules of driving along with traffic signal system, awareness about traffic rules and dealing with emergencies and accidents. Total investment in the project is Rs. 1.8 million with Rs. 1.6 million as capital investment and Rs. 0.2 million as working capital. NPV and IRR of the project is Rs. 8.07 million and 57% respectively with a payback period of 2.35 years.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

The proposed Driving School can be started as a home based business without having any formal office set-up, with the legal status of Sole Proprietorship. The facility will acquire three second hand vehicles for practical training and hire three trainers / instructors for imparting training. The instructors will also brief trainees

Driving School

on traffic regulations and road safety information. The driving school will train 360 individuals in the first year.

7 CRITICAL FACTORS
The following significant factors may be taken into account while making investment decision: Hiring of quality trainers / instructors with a special focus on engaging female drivers. Effective marketing / awareness of the service particularly with traffic police & drivers licensing section. Competitive fee structure offering value for money. Efficient utilization of idle capacity by offering Pick & Drop facilities to office executives on need basis, as an additional business opportunity. Timely and cost effective repair and maintenance of vehicles due to major / minor accidents during the training.

8 INSTALLED & OPERATIONAL CAPACITIES


The facility will consist of 3 vehicles out of which two are 800 cc and one 1000 cc vehicle. The Driving School will offer a 10 day training program. The total capacity of the driving school will be to train 720 students annually. The capacity of the facility is calculated on the basis of available vehicles, and drive time of 40 minutes per trainee per day. In the first year, the training service will operate at 50% capacity and will provide training services to 360 individuals.

9 POTENTIAL TARGET MARKET / CITIES


Due to development and expansion of roads and increase in the number of vehicles, the Driving School can be started in any suitable area of a big city such as Lahore, Karachi, Sukkur, Hyderabad, Faisalabad, Sargodha, Multan, Quetta, DI Khan, Nowshera and Peshawar.

10 PROJECT COST SUMMARY


A detailed financial model has been developed to analyze the commercial viability of a Driving School under the Prime Ministers Youth Business Loan scheme. Various cost and revenue related assumptions along with results of the analysis are outlined in this section. The projected Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement and Balance Sheet are attached as appendix

10.1 Project Economics The Driving School will train 360 drivers at 50% capacity in year one with three vehicles and three trainers. The following table shows internal rates of return and payback period.
Table 1: Project Economics

Description Internal Rate of Return (IRR) Payback Period (yrs) Net Present Value (NPV)

Details 57% 2.35 Rs. 8,070,195

Returns on the investment and its profitability are highly dependent on trained staff, marketing, and competitive fee structure. In case the Driving School is not managed efficiently, it will not be able to capitalize on the potential market and recover payments; hence cost of operating the business will increase. 10.2 Project Financing Following table provides details of the equity required and variables related to bank loan:
