Problem & Solution

Single-location grooming concept with proven cost base, ready for revenue rebuild

The Problem

The studio's 2025 operating year recorded only one revenue-generating month, producing ~$29K full-year revenue against a ~$42K cost base — a net loss of ~$13K. Underutilization of the fixed cost base (rent, license, salaries) is the core issue, not unit economics.

Our Solution

An operating turnaround that re-deploys existing infrastructure (paid-up trade license, fitted premises, trained staff) into a re-launched membership and premium-services model. Recurring grooming packages, corporate B2B contracts, and a digital booking flow target consistent ~$8K–$12K monthly revenue against the existing ~$3.5K/month cost base.

Market Opportunity

$4.2B GCC TAM addressable today

~12% CAGR through 2030 across the GCC men's grooming segment

Walk-in services (60%), monthly/annual membership packages (25%), and B2B contracts with offices and hospitality groups (15%). Average ticket size ~$35; target 6 customers/day at maturity.

Traction & Proof Points

Moat & Exit Strategy

Defensible Moat

All fixed setup costs are already absorbed (license, fit-out, visas) — incoming capital deploys directly into revenue generation rather than infrastructure. A proven single-month revenue test (~$29K) demonstrates demand exists when activation occurs.

Exit Path

Sale to a regional grooming chain or roll-up acquirer within 3–5 years once the membership book and B2B contracts stabilize; alternatively, multi-location franchise expansion using the same operating template.
