Executive Summary

AfriBridge JAMB CBT Centre (Pty) Ltd

AfriBridge JAMB CBT Centre (Pty) Ltd is a Johannesburg-based specialist education business serving Nigerian and wider West African students in South Africa who need JAMB-standard computer-based testing, mock exams, prep classes, and registration support. We operate as a private company (Pty) Ltd from a rented commercial facility in Gauteng, with a service model built for families that want a safer, more professional, and exam-accurate alternative to generic computer centres and informal online tutoring.

We are founder-led and operationally disciplined. In Year, our Managing Director and majority shareholder, holds 80% equity and leads strategy, financial control, and partnerships, while the team around us brings direct experience in training labs, tutoring, systems support, and student administration.

The business exists because our target customers are already in South Africa, but their admissions pathway often remains tied to Nigerian exam requirements. They need a venue that combines stable computers, fast internet, exam timing, guided practice, and practical administrative help, and we built AfriBridge to serve that exact need in one location.

The market opportunity in Johannesburg and Gauteng

Our addressable market is concentrated in Johannesburg, Pretoria, and surrounding Gauteng communities with strong Nigerian and West African family networks. We are targeting students aged 16–26, plus parents and guardians who fund education support and want visible progress, reliable communication, and a trusted service provider.

This market is large enough to support repeat demand, not just one-off bookings. We estimate 10,000 to 15,000 potential JAMB-related and exam-focused users in our service area over a 3–5 year horizon, which is more than enough to support a few hundred active users per month and still leave room for expansion.

Our commercial model and revenue base

AfriBridge earns from four connected revenue streams: JAMB-style mock exams, JAMB prep classes, CBT/computer access, and registration and admin support packages. The strongest commercial driver is the prep-class offer, while mock exams bring in new students and create the most natural path to repeat use.

At a glance

• Business: AfriBridge JAMB CBT Centre (Pty) Ltd
• Location: Johannesburg, Gauteng
• Legal structure: Private company (Pty) Ltd
• Funding required: ZAR 750,000
• Founder equity: ZAR 250,000
• Debt finance: ZAR 500,000
• Year 1 revenue: ZAR 2,940,000
• Break-even timing: Month 1 within Year 1
• Year 5 revenue: ZAR 6,649,558

Our Year 1 revenue forecast is built on a realistic mix of service usage and repeat customer behaviour. By Year 3, revenue rises to ZAR 5,199,390, and by Year 5 it reaches ZAR 6,649,558, reflecting higher utilisation, stronger retention, and broader community referral activity.

Why investors should back this business now

AfriBridge is not speculative. It is a focused, service-led education business with clear demand, strong unit economics, and a niche that existing generic centres do not cover properly. Our model combines high gross margin with recurring customer relationships, which creates a strong platform for growth from one Johannesburg site into a second branch in Pretoria.

The forecast supports the investment case. Year 1 gross margin is 83.7%, Year 1 EBITDA is ZAR 599,898, and Year 1 net profit is ZAR 323,681. The business remains cash generative from launch and scales into a stronger earnings profile as utilisation rises through Years 2 to 5.

:::reassure
Our financial profile strengthens quickly after launch.

• Year 1 EBITDA margin: 20.4%
• Year 3 EBITDA margin: 41.9%
• Year 5 EBITDA margin: 45.6%
• Year 5 net profit: ZAR 2,107,273

Funding ask and capital use

We are seeking ZAR 750,000 in total launch funding. This consists of ZAR 250,000 from the founder and ZAR 500,000 in debt finance at 12.5% over 5 years, giving the business enough capital to complete the launch and maintain working capital through the early ramp-up period.

The funding is aligned to our actual operating needs, not excess capacity. ZAR 470,000 is allocated to equipment, furniture, fit-out, backup power, registration, and branding, while ZAR 280,000 is reserved as working capital to support the first phase of trading.

:::tip
The capital structure is deliberately conservative.

• It funds the lab properly from day one
• It protects service quality during the build-up phase
• It leaves enough liquidity for marketing, payroll, and operating stability
  :::

Leadership and execution capability

The business is led by In Year, who has a background in education support and IT and several years of experience helping students prepare for CBT exams remotely. Our Operations Manager, Refilwe Mahlangu, a degree holder in Information Systems with 7 years of experience running training labs and exam centres in Gauteng, keeps the centre organised, secure, and operationally tight.

Academic quality sits with Kagiso Motsepe, a qualified mathematics and science educator with 6 years of tutoring experience for high-stakes exams. Systems reliability is supported by Themba Mthembu, our part-time IT and Systems Technician with a diploma in Networking and 8 years in computer lab support, while customer-facing administration is handled by Khanyi Radebe, our Customer Service and Admin Officer with 5 years of front-office and student support experience in private colleges.

The headline investment case

AfriBridge JAMB CBT Centre is a specialist education platform with a clear customer need, a defensible niche, and a scalable revenue model. Our service offering is anchored in trust, exam realism, and practical support for families who need JAMB preparation in South Africa without compromising on quality.

The business is already designed to generate repeat revenue from the same customer relationship. A student can begin with a mock exam, continue into prep classes, return for hourly computer access, and still use our admin support during registration periods, which raises lifetime value and supports long-term profitability.

Our investor case is therefore straightforward: a ZAR 750,000 launch package, a ZAR 2,940,000 first-year revenue base, break-even within Month 1 of Year 1, and a forecast path to ZAR 6,649,558 in annual revenue by Year 5.

Company Description

AfriBridge JAMB CBT Centre (Pty) Ltd

AfriBridge JAMB CBT Centre (Pty) Ltd is a South African private company established to serve Nigerian and wider West African students living in South Africa who need JAMB-standard computer-based testing, structured preparation, and registration support. We operate from Johannesburg, Gauteng, in a rented commercial facility positioned to serve families and students around Yeoville, Hillbrow, and surrounding commuter routes while maintaining a safer, well-managed learning environment.

The business was founded to solve a practical gap in the market. Nigerian students in South Africa often face fragmented access to proper CBT practice, stable computers, reliable internet, exam-style timing, and guided support for the JAMB process. AfriBridge JAMB CBT Centre gives them one place to prepare, practise, and build confidence under conditions that closely mirror the exam experience.

We are incorporated as AfriBridge JAMB CBT Centre (Pty) Ltd, with all operations and reporting denominated in ZAR. The company is structured as a private limited entity to support disciplined governance, investor participation, and clear separation between ownership and day-to-day management.

Ownership Structure and Strategic Control

The company is majority owned by the founder, who holds 80% equity and is responsible for the long-term strategic direction of the business. The remaining 20% equity is reserved for a strategic partner or early investor who can strengthen the company’s capital base and support growth into a second location and additional exam offerings.

This ownership structure keeps control aligned with the original mission while leaving room for institutional discipline and growth capital. It also ensures that decision-making remains focused on student outcomes, operational consistency, and sustainable unit economics.

Governance and Decision-Making

We run the company with a hands-on leadership model that keeps customer experience and service quality central to operations. Key operational decisions are made around lab utilisation, tutor deployment, pricing consistency, session scheduling, and customer retention.

The business is managed with a commercial mindset, but it remains service-led. Our target families are investing in education outcomes, so our standard for quality is high and our response time must be fast.

Our Location in Johannesburg

Our base is in Johannesburg, Gauteng, close to communities with a strong concentration of Nigerian and West African households. That location matters because our customers are not casual walk-ins; they are parents, guardians, and students who need regular access to a trusted centre for mock exams, prep classes, and registration support.

We selected a rented commercial block rather than a residential or informal venue because exam confidence depends on professionalism. Students need a quiet, secure, supervised, and technology-stable environment that feels closer to an actual CBT room than a cybercafé or shared classroom.

The Johannesburg location also gives us access to transport links, nearby schools, community associations, churches, and youth networks. These channels support recurring student traffic and make it easier for families to attend orientation sessions, mock tests, and support appointments.

What We Do and Who We Serve

AfriBridge JAMB CBT Centre provides JAMB-style mock exams, JAMB preparation classes, CBT/computer access, and registration and admin support packages. Our service model is built for students who need both academic preparation and practical exam familiarity before sitting JAMB or similar CBT-based assessments.

We serve four core customer groups:

• Nigerian students aged 16–26 living in South Africa
• West African families seeking structured support for university admissions in Nigeria
• Students who need exam-condition CBT practice before high-stakes testing
• Learners who require computer confidence, digital navigation practice, and admin guidance

Our customers are typically families that value education and are prepared to pay for reliability, structure, and convenience. They come to us because generic computer labs do not provide the subject-specific support, timing discipline, or test simulation they need.

The Student Problem We Solve

Many of our students know the content they need to learn, but they do not have access to the right environment to practise it effectively. They struggle with unstable systems, poor connectivity, limited supervision, and confusion around registration steps, timelines, and exam readiness.

AfriBridge JAMB CBT Centre closes that gap by combining the following in one place:

• exam-standard computers and headsets
• controlled timing and test simulation
• guided tutoring in key subjects
• admin and registration support
• a calm, professional venue for repeated practice

Our Mission and Positioning

Our mission is to make JAMB preparation in South Africa more accessible, more structured, and more effective for West African students who want serious academic results. We exist to help students pass on the first attempt by giving them a setting that is technologically reliable, academically relevant, and emotionally reassuring.

We position AfriBridge as a specialist education support business, not a generic internet café and not an informal tutoring side business. That distinction matters because families need trust, consistency, and a clear sense that the centre understands the JAMB process from end to end.

We are building the most focused JAMB CBT and exam-prep centre for West African students in Johannesburg.

Founding Date and Development Stage

The company was established to formalise an opportunity already visible in the market: West African families in South Africa need a dedicated CBT support centre that speaks directly to their admissions pathway. We are at the launch and early-growth stage, with the core infrastructure, team structure, and service model designed for immediate implementation and scalable expansion.

From day one, the business has been designed for repeat use, not one-off transactions. Students may start with a mock exam, then move into prep classes, then return for computer access and registration support as their needs evolve.

The Team Behind the Business

The company is led by the founder, who serves as Managing Director and brings a background in education support and IT. The founder oversees strategy, partnerships, financial discipline, and service quality.

Operational delivery is supported by Refilwe Mahlangu, our Operations Manager, who has a degree in Information Systems and 7 years of experience running training labs and exam centres in Gauteng. Kagiso Motsepe serves as Lead Tutor, bringing 6 years of tutoring experience in mathematics and science for high-stakes exams.

Themba Mthembu supports the technical environment as a part-time IT and Systems Technician. He holds a diploma in Networking and has 8 years of computer lab support experience. Khanyi Radebe manages customer service and administration, drawing on 5 years of front-office and student support experience in private colleges.

As the business expands, Mandla Nkosi will join as Marketing and Community Outreach Coordinator to deepen school visits, church presentations, and digital outreach. This structure gives us the operational discipline needed to maintain service quality while scaling.

Why AfriBridge Is Different

We are not trying to serve every learner in every subject. We are building a purpose-built CBT centre for a specific market segment with a real need and a clear willingness to pay for quality.

Our differentiation comes from:

• specialist focus on JAMB and similar West African CBT needs
• a venue designed for exam realism and student concentration
• support that includes both learning and administration
• strong local accessibility for Nigerian and West African families in Gauteng
• a service culture built around reliability, trust, and follow-through

That focused identity is central to our long-term value. It allows us to build brand recognition within a defined community, earn referrals, and expand later into additional CBT exams once the core JAMB service is established and trusted.
