Executive Summary

Precision Imaging Centre Zimbabwe at a Glance

Precision Imaging Centre Zimbabwe (PICZ) is a Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) based in Harare and built to deliver X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, and basic MRI services to patients, referrers, employers, NGOs, and medical aid schemes. We are positioned as a fast, reliable private imaging provider for a market that still faces long public-sector queues, limited appointment flexibility, and inconsistent reporting turnaround.

Our commercial model is straightforward: we charge per scan, we keep direct costs controlled, and we grow by winning repeat referrals from doctors and institutions that value speed and clinical reliability. The centre is structured to serve both cash and medical aid patients, with digital workflow, same-day reporting on most studies, and a service promise that is designed around access rather than delay.

PICZ targets the Harare private healthcare corridor and referrals from surrounding Mashonaland areas. Our core customer is an adult aged 25 to 65 who wants fast diagnostic answers, can pay cash or through medical aid, and does not want to wait in a congested public system.

The addressable demand is real and recurring. Harare has enough imaging need across trauma, maternity, respiratory disease, orthopaedics, oncology, and chronic disease monitoring to support a specialist centre, and our forecast is built on capturing a modest share of that demand rather than assuming unrealistic market dominance.

We are building a focused diagnostic asset that turns delayed imaging demand into a repeatable private healthcare revenue stream.

Why PICZ Wins in the Market

Our strongest advantage is service speed. We offer extended hours, digital image handling through RIS/PACS, and same-day reporting on most studies, which makes us easier for doctors to trust and easier for patients to choose.

We also compete on clarity. Our pricing is transparent, our workflow is structured, and our reports are designed to move quickly from scan room to referrer without the friction that often slows larger or more fragmented facilities.

What makes the model investable

• High-demand service mix across routine and advanced imaging
• Strong gross margin profile of 67.2%
• Recurring referral potential from GPs, specialists, NGOs, corporates, and medical aid schemes
• Digital operations that support rapid reporting and image sharing
• Lean start-up team with clinical, operational, financial, and business development leadership

PICZ is led by me as founder and Managing Director, with Casey Brooks, a board-certified radiologist with 10 years of experience in public and private hospitals in Zimbabwe and the region, overseeing clinical governance and reporting quality. Blake Morgan, our Operations Manager with a degree in Business Management and 8 years of outpatient diagnostic and laboratory experience, handles daily operations, scheduling, and supplier coordination.

Morgan Kim, a part-qualified chartered accountant with 7 years in healthcare finance, manages billing, claims, and financial control. Reese Johansson, our Marketing and Business Development Lead with experience in medical marketing, drives referral development, digital visibility, and corporate outreach.

Funding Ask and Capital Use

PICZ is seeking USD 700,000 in total funding, structured as USD 400,000 equity and USD 300,000 debt. This capital is sufficient to complete equipment acquisition, fit-out, licensing, pre-launch marketing, and working capital support for the Harare launch.

The business is capital intensive because diagnostic imaging requires specialised equipment before revenue can begin. Our funding structure is therefore designed to avoid undercapitalisation at launch and to preserve enough liquidity for the early ramp-up period.

Capital allocation

Use of funds	Amount
Equipment, fit-out and IT infrastructure	USD 605,000
Regulatory licences, insurance, legal and professional fees	USD 30,000
Pre-launch and first year marketing	USD 25,000
Working capital reserve	USD 40,000
Total funding required	USD 700,000

The equipment line includes the CT scanner, digital X-ray machine, ultrasound units, basic MRI unit, RIS/PACS infrastructure, shielding, and core fit-out. The working capital reserve is ring-fenced to support operating stability while utilisation builds and collections normalise.

:::reassure
PICZ is already positioned with:

• A registered Zimbabwean company structure
• A defined Harare operating base
• A high-demand imaging service mix
• A capable leadership team
• A clear route to recurring referral revenue

Headline Financial Outlook

Year 1 revenue is projected at USD 450,000, with gross profit of USD 302,490 and EBITDA of USD 49,490. The business is not net profitable in the first year, closing at -USD 48,510 after depreciation and financing costs, which is expected for a launch-stage imaging centre with significant capital investment.

The path to profitability is clear. Net income turns positive in Year 2 at USD 4,486, and the business scales to USD 618,638 in revenue by Year 3 and USD 782,963 by Year 5. Break-even on an annual basis is reached at USD 522,166, with timing at approximately Month 48, which places full break-even in Year 4.

By Year 5, PICZ reaches USD 182,104 in EBITDA and USD 86,719 in net income, supported by improved utilisation, stronger referral flow, and a more efficient cost base. The financial logic is simple: once the scanners are in place and the referral engine is active, each additional study contributes meaningfully to profit.

Company Description

Our Legal Identity and Operating Base

Precision Imaging Centre Zimbabwe (PICZ) is a Private Limited Company (Pvt Ltd) registered in Zimbabwe and structured to deliver specialised diagnostic imaging services from a single, high-access site in Harare. We operate in USD, with our model built for private patients, medical aid patients, referred cases, and institutional clients that need dependable imaging capacity in a market where delays and fragmented service remain common.

Our registered name, PICZ, reflects our focus on precision, speed, and clinical reliability. We are positioned as an independent imaging provider rather than a hospital-based radiology department, which gives us greater flexibility in pricing, patient flow, turnaround time, and referral relationships.

What Precision Imaging Centre Zimbabwe Does

PICZ provides X-ray, ultrasound, CT scan, and basic MRI services to patients in Harare and the surrounding catchment areas. We serve walk-in patients, referral patients from general practitioners and specialists, corporate clients, NGOs, and medical aid schemes that need prompt, clear, and professionally reported imaging.

Our service model is built around three priorities:

• Fast access, with early and late appointment slots to reduce waiting time
• Reliable reporting, with same-day reports on most studies
• Transparent pricing, designed to work for both cash-paying and medical aid patients

We are not building a high-volume, low-acuity screening centre. PICZ is structured to handle clinically meaningful diagnostic work across trauma, obstetrics, abdominal scanning, chronic disease monitoring, orthopaedics, and oncology support, with a workflow that supports both clinician referrals and direct patient demand.

Where We Operate and Why Harare Matters

Our centre is based in Harare, in a medical complex close to major private hospitals and easily accessible from the city centre. That location gives us immediate proximity to the core referral market, including private GPs, specialists, and patients who already seek care in the city’s medical corridor.

Harare is the right launch market because it concentrates the highest density of middle-income patients, medical aid users, referral doctors, and employers who need accessible private imaging. It also serves as a referral hub for patients arriving from Mashonaland provinces, where access to advanced imaging is often limited or delayed.

:::tip Location advantage
Our site strategy is built to capture patients who value:

• Short travel time from central Harare
• Access near private hospitals and specialist rooms
• Convenient parking and straightforward patient navigation
• Faster service than public-sector queues
  :::

Mission, Positioning, and Patient Promise

Our mission is to improve access to modern diagnostic imaging in Zimbabwe by combining clinical quality, operational speed, and service consistency. We want to be the first centre doctors trust when they need prompt images and clear reports, and the first centre patients choose when they want to avoid long delays.

We exist to make imaging faster, clearer, and more accessible for patients and referrers in Harare.

Our positioning is practical and commercial. PICZ competes on turnaround time, digital reporting, and a patient experience that is more responsive than many hospital-based radiology departments. We also serve patients whose decisions are influenced by affordability, so our pricing structure remains transparent and suitable for cash and medical aid billing alike.

Ownership Structure and Governance

PICZ is majority owned by me as founder and managing director, with minority stakes reserved for a medical radiologist partner and a silent investor. This ownership structure keeps operational control aligned with the strategic vision while ensuring clinical credibility and capital support.

The company has been incorporated, and we are in the process of finalising regulatory approvals and equipment importation. That means PICZ is moving from formation into operational readiness, with the legal framework already in place for a funded launch.

Ownership and control

Stakeholder	Role in the business	Ownership position
Founder and Managing Director	Strategy, partnerships, financial oversight, business development	Majority shareholder
Medical Radiologist Partner	Clinical governance, reporting standards, quality oversight	Minority shareholder
Silent Investor	Capital support, no day-to-day management	Minority shareholder

This structure is deliberate. It ensures that commercial decision-making stays disciplined while the radiology function remains clinically led and compliant.

Leadership and Core Operating Roles

The business is led by me as founder and Managing Director, drawing on prior experience running a chain of primary care clinics in Zimbabwe and a background in health administration and finance. I oversee strategy, lender and investor relations, referral development, and overall performance management.

Our lead radiologist is Casey Brooks, a board-certified radiologist with 10 years of experience in both public and private hospitals in Zimbabwe and the region. Casey Brooks oversees clinical protocols, image interpretation quality, and reporting standards across the centre.

Blake Morgan, our Operations Manager, holds a degree in Business Management and brings 8 years of experience in outpatient diagnostic and laboratory services. Blake Morgan manages daily operations, scheduling, procurement coordination, supplier relationships, and service consistency.

Morgan Kim, our Finance and Administration Officer, is a part-qualified chartered accountant with 7 years in healthcare finance. Morgan Kim manages bookkeeping, billing, medical aid claims, reconciliations, and financial reporting.

Reese Johansson, our Marketing and Business Development Lead, has experience in medical marketing and leads doctor outreach, corporate account development, and digital acquisition.

These roles are lean but complete for a first-stage diagnostic centre. They allow us to run with tight oversight, clear accountability, and specialist competence in clinical, operational, financial, and commercial functions.

The Customers We Serve

PICZ is built for adults aged 25 to 65 in Harare and nearby towns who need fast diagnostic imaging and can pay through cash or medical aid. Our core customers also include:

• General practitioners and specialists who refer patients regularly
• Orthopaedic, obstetric, oncology, and internal medicine practices
• Corporate wellness programmes
• NGOs working in TB, HIV, maternal health, and community health
• Employers and institutions that need efficient imaging access for staff or beneficiaries

Our market is not limited to one diagnosis or one payer type. We are designed to serve repeat demand from clinicians and episodic demand from patients who need imaging for injury, pregnancy, abdominal symptoms, chest complaints, chronic disease monitoring, or specialist follow-up.

Long-Term Strategic Direction

PICZ is designed as a scalable healthcare platform, not a one-off clinic. In Year 1, we focus on building referral trust, stabilising operations, and delivering a consistent imaging experience in Harare.

By Year 3, we intend to expand capacity in MRI and CT services and support an additional outreach model for smaller towns. By Year 5, our goal is to operate as a recognised private imaging brand with a second satellite unit in another major city such as Bulawayo or Mutare.
