Executive Summary

Executive Position and Investment Thesis

Ubuntu Ability Care (Pty) Ltd is a Johannesburg South-based community disability support provider delivering NDIS-style services across Gauteng, with planned expansion into North West and Mpumalanga. We serve people with physical, intellectual, and psychosocial disabilities through in-home support, community access, transport to appointments, group day programmes, therapy coordination, and supported employment coaching.

The business is built for families that need reliable, culturally familiar care with clear reporting and accountable service delivery. Our model combines person-centred support with disciplined operations, so clients receive practical help and funders receive evidence they can trust.

We are seeking ZAR 600,000 in total funding, made up of ZAR 200,000 in equity capital and ZAR 400,000 in debt principal. That capital will support launch readiness, fit-out, registrations, branding, and working capital while we scale from first clients to a stable recurring base.

Market Opportunity in Gauteng

Our primary market is low- to middle-income households in Johannesburg South, Soweto, the Vaal, and surrounding urban and peri-urban communities, where disability support is often fragmented, expensive, or inconsistent. We are targeting families earning between ZAR 6,000 and ZAR 25,000 per month who need dependable support that can be funded privately, through NGOs, or through social-funding pathways where available.

The reachable market is large enough to support meaningful scale. Based on the catchment profile and disability prevalence patterns, we estimate 5,000 to 8,000 households are realistic buyers of ongoing support services, which gives Ubuntu Ability Care a strong runway for repeat revenue and long-term retention.

Why Ubuntu Ability Care Will Win

We compete on trust, flexibility, and integration. Families do not want separate providers for care, transport, reporting, and employment readiness, and our model brings those services together under one accountable relationship.

In Year, our founder and managing director with 7 years of experience in community health programmes and disability outreach projects, leads strategy, partnerships, and quality. He is supported by By Month, our operations manager with a social work diploma and 10 years of community care coordination experience, plus Nomsa Mbeki, a registered professional nurse with 15 years in rehabilitation and home-based care.

:::reassure
Our operating model is already structured for execution.

• Clear supervision and care planning
• Local-language and township-aware service delivery
• Transparent family reporting
• Blended revenue streams across care, transport, and coaching
• Lean startup structure with controlled overheads

Headline Financial Outlook

Our five-year forecast shows a disciplined growth path from ZAR 3,000,000 in Year 1 to ZAR 5,676,328 in Year 5. Gross margin is held at 60.0% throughout the forecast, which gives the business enough room to fund supervision, compliance, and growth while remaining commercially viable.

Year 1 is a launch year, not a maturity year. The model shows EBITDA of ZAR 54,000 and net profit of -ZAR 26,000 in Year 1, followed by a strong step-up into ZAR 280,554 net income in Year 2 as utilisation improves and fixed costs are spread across a larger client base.

Break-even is reached at ZAR 3,043,333 in annual revenue, with timing at approximately Month 24. By Year 5, the business is projected to produce ZAR 708,380 in net income, giving investors a clear path to value creation from a real operating base rather than speculative growth.

Funding Rationale and Use of Capital

The funding request is designed to protect service quality during launch. Our priority is to secure the office and training base, complete registrations and market entry, and maintain enough working capital to absorb early ramp-up pressure while client volumes build.

The ZAR 400,000 debt facility is supported by the forecast cash generation profile, which improves materially from Year 2 onward. Cash from operations turns positive in the projection period, and the business ends Year 5 with a closing cash balance of ZAR 1,811,757, which supports debt service and future expansion planning.

:::warning
The first year carries normal startup pressure.

• Year 1 net profit is negative at ZAR 26,000
• Year 1 DSCR is 0.42
• Growth depends on disciplined client acquisition and strong retention
• Cash reserve discipline is essential until the model passes break-even
  :::

Strategic Growth Path

Our growth plan is to build in Gauteng first, where referral relationships, local understanding, and route density are strongest. Once the Johannesburg base is stable, we will extend into North West and Mpumalanga using the same care model, same reporting discipline, and same service standards.

By Year 3, the business is targeting ZAR 4,485,000 in revenue, and by Year 5 it reaches ZAR 5,676,328. That trajectory is driven by recurring demand across in-home support, group day programmes, transport, and supported employment coaching, all of which reinforce one another inside the same client relationship.

Ubuntu Ability Care is investable because it serves a real and growing need, operates with controlled startup costs, and converts service quality into recurring revenue. The business is positioned to deliver both social impact and commercial return in a market that still lacks enough reliable disability support providers.

Company Description

Company Identity and Legal Structure

Ubuntu Ability Care (Pty) Ltd is a South African private company based in Johannesburg South and built to deliver community-based disability support across Gauteng, with planned expansion into North West and Mpumalanga. We operate from a small office and training centre close to major transport routes so that our support workers can move efficiently between client homes, schools, clinics, and community venues.

The business was founded to solve a practical gap in disability care: families need reliable, person-centred support that is structured enough for funders and flexible enough for real life in township, peri-urban, and urban settings. Our model combines home-based support, assisted daily living, transport, therapy coordination, and supported employment readiness into one accountable service relationship.

We are registered as Ubuntu Ability Care (Pty) Ltd, a Private Company under South African law. All trading, reporting, and investor documents are prepared in ZAR, and the company is being positioned to meet the compliance requirements relevant to disability care, healthcare support, and social development service delivery in South Africa.

Ownership and Governance

I am the founder, majority shareholder, and director of Ubuntu Ability Care (Pty) Ltd. I lead strategy, stakeholder relationships, service quality, and growth execution, and I remain responsible for the business’s compliance posture and operational integrity.

The ownership structure is intentionally simple at launch so that decision-making remains fast and accountability remains clear. The funding structure reflects this balance as well, with Equity capital of ZAR 200,000 alongside Debt principal of ZAR 400,000, creating Total funding of ZAR 600,000 for launch and early operating stability.

Core leadership roles

Our leadership team is structured around delivery quality, compliance, and client continuity.

• In Year, founder and managing director, has 7 years of experience managing community health programmes and disability outreach projects with local NGOs.
• By Month, operations manager, has a social work diploma and 10 years of experience coordinating community-based care teams.
• Nomsa Mbeki, part-time clinical supervisor, is a registered professional nurse with 15 years in rehabilitation and home-based care.
• Sibusiso Maseko, finance and compliance lead, is a qualified bookkeeper with 8 years of SME finance experience and experience in NPO and health-sector reporting.
• Lerato Ndlovu, lead employment coach, brings a background in occupational therapy assistance and supported employment for people with disabilities.

This leadership mix gives Ubuntu Ability Care practical strength across service delivery, finance, supervision, and client development. It also gives funders a visible chain of accountability, from daily client service to compliance reporting and performance tracking.

What We Do

Ubuntu Ability Care delivers NDIS-style, person-centred support services to people with physical, intellectual, and psychosocial disabilities in Gauteng and surrounding provinces. Our work is designed for people who need dependable assistance at home, in the community, and on the path to greater independence.

Our core service mix includes:

• In-home support and community access
• Assisted daily living
• Transport to appointments
• Therapy coordination
• Supported employment readiness and coaching
• Group day programmes
• Independent living support

We serve both children and adults, with the highest demand coming from low- to middle-income households that need structured support but cannot access it reliably through fragmented providers. Many of these families are balancing caregiving, work, transport costs, and administrative pressure while trying to maintain dignity and continuity for a loved one with a disability.

Our customers are typically households earning between ZAR 6,000 and ZAR 25,000 per month, especially in Johannesburg, Soweto, and the Vaal. They need a provider that understands local languages, township realities, and the practical constraints of transport, time, and funding.

:::tip
Our service model is built around one principle: the family should not have to coordinate five different providers to get one person supported well.

Mission and Positioning

Our mission is to improve everyday independence, safety, and participation for people with disabilities through reliable, culturally aware, and transparent support services. We exist to make disability support more consistent, more respectful, and easier for families and funders to trust.

Ubuntu Ability Care is positioned as a community-based provider with a strong service standard and a practical local footprint. We do not compete on institutional scale or residential capacity. We compete on responsiveness, reporting clarity, language familiarity, and the ability to combine care, transport, and employment readiness under one service relationship.

That positioning matters in our market because many households need a provider that can adapt to short-notice needs, weekend support, school and clinic transport, and changing family circumstances. Our model is built for that reality.

Client Base and Service Geography

Our primary catchment area is Johannesburg South and the wider Gauteng corridor, including Soweto and the Vaal. Over time, we will extend services into North West and Mpumalanga through additional care teams and local partnerships.

We are focused on clients who are likely to value consistency, documentation, and human connection. That includes families managing long-term disability care, caregivers seeking respite, and adults with disabilities who want more independence, community participation, and a pathway into employment readiness.

:::reassure
Ubuntu Ability Care is already aligned to a market with substantial unmet need. Our target area contains tens of thousands of people with moderate to severe disability, and we are designed to serve the households that can realistically sustain ongoing support with some external funding or family contribution.
:::

Revenue Model and Commercial Purpose

Ubuntu Ability Care earns revenue through hourly and programme-based service fees billed to clients, families, NGOs, and funding partners where available. The business is structured to generate recurring demand rather than one-off service spikes, which supports client continuity and operational planning.

Our commercial purpose is to build a sustainable disability support provider with enough scale to maintain strong margins, invest in staff training, and expand into adjacent provinces. The 5-year model shows revenue growing from ZAR 3,000,000 in Year 1 to ZAR 5,676,328 in Year 5, with gross margin held at 60.0% throughout the forecast.

Year 1 is intentionally conservative and reflects the cost of establishing brand trust, compliance systems, and care capacity. The business reaches stronger profitability in later years as utilisation rises, overheads stay controlled, and client relationships deepen.

Why We Are Structured This Way

Ubuntu Ability Care has been designed as a lean, service-led company rather than a heavy asset business. That choice keeps capital requirements manageable and allows us to direct funding into front-line capacity, compliance, and client acquisition rather than into expensive infrastructure.

Our Year 1 forecast includes Total operating expenses of ZAR 1,746,000, EBITDA of ZAR 54,000, and Net Profit of -ZAR 26,000. By Year 2, the business moves clearly into profitability with Net Income of ZAR 280,554, and the cash profile strengthens each year after that.

That progression matters to investors because it shows a business that is not dependent on unrealistic early margins. It is built to absorb launch-stage pressure, reach break-even on a sustainable base, and then scale with discipline.

Long-Term Vision

By Year 5, Ubuntu Ability Care is expected to serve 250 to 280 active clients across Gauteng and at least one neighbouring province, while expanding specialist programmes in supported employment and independent living skills. We will also continue formalising quality assurance, compliance systems, and funding relationships so that the company can become a trusted partner to private households, NGOs, and institutional funders.

Our long-term objective is simple: to become a recognised South African disability support provider that families can rely on, professionals can refer to confidently, and investors can back with conviction.
