Executive Summary

Mazvikadei Dimension Stone (Pvt) Ltd is built to serve Zimbabwe’s granite demand gap

Mazvikadei Dimension Stone (Pvt) Ltd is a Zimbabwean private limited quarry business near Mutorashanga in Mashonaland West, and we produce cut granite blocks, polished slabs, cobbles and pavers, and crushed aggregates for construction, infrastructure, and memorial customers. We are positioned to supply Harare and the wider growth corridor with consistent quality, shorter lead times, and USD-priced local stock that removes the uncertainty buyers face when sourcing from distant quarries or imports.

Our commercial model is straightforward: we extract, process, and sell dimension stone to contractors, tombstone manufacturers, hardware chains, and civil works buyers who need reliable supply at scale. I lead the business as founder and Managing Director, supported by Avery Singh, a mining engineer with over 10 years of open-pit experience in Zimbabwe, Alex Chen, a qualified mechanical engineer, Reese Johansson, a chartered accountant, and Morgan Kim, a sales and marketing lead with building materials and B2B digital campaign experience.

The market opportunity is immediate. Zimbabwe’s construction and memorials sectors still face supply inconsistency, variable sizing, and high transport costs, while Harare and the surrounding towns continue to generate repeat demand for stone products. Our quarry location gives us a practical logistics advantage into the region, and our product mix allows us to serve both volume buyers and higher-margin finished-stone customers.

Why this quarry can scale quickly

We are not entering the market as a raw-stone trader. We are building a processed stone business with recurring offtake, contract-based selling, and a clear route from quarry face to customer delivery. That structure matters because it supports both project buyers who need dependable material and resale buyers who value stock availability and specification certainty.

Our Year 1 revenue is projected at USD 1,600,000, with gross profit of USD 880,000 and EBITDA of USD 46,000. Year 1 ends with a net loss of USD 87,000, which reflects the realities of commissioning a capital-heavy quarry and building market share before full utilisation is reached.

By Year 2, the model turns profitable with net income of USD 139,293, and by Year 5 we project revenue of USD 4,575,585 and net income of USD 988,702. Break-even is reached at approximately Month 24, which aligns with the ramp-up profile already built into our operating plan.

At a glance

• Business: Mazvikadei Dimension Stone (Pvt) Ltd
• Location: Near Mutorashanga, Mashonaland West, with a Harare sales and admin office
• Core products: Cut granite blocks, polished slabs, cobbles and pavers, crushed aggregates
• Year 1 revenue: USD 1,600,000
• Break-even timing: Approximately Month 24
• Year 5 revenue target: USD 4,575,585

:::reassure Investor-ready operating profile
Our revenue is diversified across four product lines, which reduces dependence on a single customer type and gives the quarry more resilience as demand shifts between construction, roads, and memorial work.
:::

The funding ask is sized to reach production and sustain the ramp-up

We are seeking USD 900,000 in total funding, made up of USD 300,000 in equity and USD 600,000 in debt. This capital base funds quarry development, processing equipment, working capital, and contingency cover so the business can move from setup into stable production without starving operations of cash.

The funding structure is intentionally balanced. The debt facility is modelled at 12.5% over 5 years, and the project is designed to generate the cash flow required to service it as output stabilises and margin expands.

Capital requirements by priority

• Quarry development, equipment, licences, and infrastructure: USD 580,000
• Working capital for the first 6 months: USD 240,000
• Contingencies and capacity expansion: USD 80,000

:::warning Startup capital discipline
The quarry’s early cash position must be protected from avoidable leakages. Equipment commissioning, fuel control, maintenance scheduling, and receivables management will be treated as board-level priorities until the plant is stable.
:::

The economics support a clear path to scale

Our model carries a 55.0% gross margin across the forecast period, driven by value-added stone processing rather than block extraction alone. That margin structure is strong enough to absorb the early fixed-cost base and then expand into stronger profitability as production volume grows.

The operating trajectory is disciplined and credible. EBITDA improves from USD 46,000 in Year 1 to USD 309,280 in Year 2, then rises to USD 622,244 in Year 3 and USD 1,381,924 in Year 5. Net margin improves from -5.4% in Year 1 to 21.6% in Year 5, showing that the business becomes materially more efficient as the quarry matures.

Debt service capacity follows the same pattern. DSCR improves from 0.24 in Year 1 to 1.72 in Year 2, then to 3.77, 6.53, and 10.24 in subsequent years, which gives the business increasing room for lender confidence and future expansion.

What gives us confidence in the market

Our target customers are not speculative buyers. They are medium and large building contractors, civil engineering firms, tombstone and monument manufacturers, hardware chains, and smaller builders operating across Harare, Chinhoyi, Bindura, Norton, and Chegutu. These buyers value delivery certainty, product consistency, and fixed or indexed USD pricing more than the lowest headline quote.

We will win them through direct sales, plant visits, framework supply agreements, and digital responsiveness. Morgan Kim will drive online visibility through Google Business Profile, Facebook, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp Business, while I personally manage key customer relationships and contract conversion.

Commercial advantages that matter to buyers

• Short haulage into Harare compared with more distant quarry suppliers
• Processed products, not only raw blocks
• Faster quotation and ordering through digital channels
• Predictable sizing and finish for downstream fabrication
• Supply continuity for repeat project demand

:::tip Why the model is investable
The project is built around a known market, a clear logistics advantage, and a product mix that converts granite into multiple revenue streams. That combination gives Mazvikadei Dimension Stone (Pvt) Ltd a practical route to scale without relying on a single buyer segment.
:::

Mazvikadei Dimension Stone (Pvt) Ltd is therefore an industrial quarry business with defined demand, a strong local market position, and a financing structure that matches the ramp-up period. With the requested capital in place, we can move into production, secure recurring customers, and build a durable Zimbabwean dimension stone supplier with meaningful long-term value.

Company Description

Mazvikadei Dimension Stone (Pvt) Ltd

Mazvikadei Dimension Stone (Pvt) Ltd is a Zimbabwean private limited company registered to extract, process, and supply granite-based dimension stone from a quarry site near Mutorashanga in Mashonaland West. Our operating base is positioned to serve Harare and the surrounding growth corridor efficiently, with a small sales and administration office in Harare to support customer engagement, order management, and logistics coordination.

We produce cut granite blocks, polished slabs, cobblestones, pavers, and crushed aggregates for the construction, infrastructure, and memorials markets. Our business is built around one clear commercial need: Zimbabwean buyers need a dependable local source of consistent-quality stone that arrives on time, meets specification, and avoids the cost and uncertainty of long-haul sourcing from distant quarries or imports.

The problem we are solving in the market

The local market still suffers from irregular supply, inconsistent sizing, and delivery delays in dimension stone. Contractors and fabricators lose time and money when stone arrives late, does not match the required finish, or adds unnecessary transport cost to a project.

We solve that problem by operating close to the main demand centres and by supplying processed, ready-to-use products rather than only raw quarry output. That gives builders, memorial manufacturers, road contractors, and hardware chains a more reliable procurement option with shorter lead times into Harare and nearby towns.

Our legal structure and ownership

Mazvikadei Dimension Stone (Pvt) Ltd is structured as a private limited company in Zimbabwe. I hold the majority shareholding and serve as Managing Director, giving the business clear leadership and accountability from day one.

Our equity structure is intentionally designed to support both technical execution and future expansion.

Ownership Position	Stake
Founder and Managing Director	Majority equity
Technical Partner	Minority equity
Future Investor	Minority equity reserved

This structure keeps strategic control with the founder while leaving room for a technical partner who adds operational capability and for an external investor who can support scale-up, working capital, and equipment upgrades.

Our mission and commercial focus

Our mission is to become the preferred local supplier of dimension stone in northern Zimbabwe by combining reliable quarry output, value-added processing, and disciplined customer service. We are not positioning ourselves as a bulk-only extractor; we are building a market-facing quarry business that can supply both high-volume civil works and higher-margin finished stone products.

Our commercial focus is on customers who buy regularly and value certainty. That includes medium to large building contractors, civil engineering firms, tombstone and monument manufacturers, and hardware or building material chains in Harare, Chinhoyi, Bindura, Norton, and Chegutu.

Who we serve and how we fit their buying needs

Our typical customers are procurement officers, project managers, owners of construction firms, and operators of memorial fabrication businesses. They need dependable supply, consistent quality, and the ability to secure volume at agreed prices without frequent renegotiation.

We serve them with direct quarry sales and distributor-supported supply. That makes us relevant to both project-based buyers who need scheduled deliveries and repeat buyers who need a reliable monthly source of stone products.

:::reassure Why the location matters
Our site near Mutorashanga gives us a practical logistics advantage into Harare and the wider Mashonaland market.

• Shorter haulage times to urban customers
• Lower delivery friction for repeat orders
• Better responsiveness for urgent project requirements
• Easier coordination through our Harare sales office
  :::

Our operating identity

Mazvikadei Dimension Stone (Pvt) Ltd is built as a vertically coordinated quarry business. We extract stone, cut it to specification, process it into saleable formats, and move it through a sales model that blends direct contracting with distributor relationships.

That operating model matters because it turns a mineral resource into a customer-ready product. We are therefore positioned across multiple use cases:

• Structural and decorative granite blocks for construction
• Polished slabs for architectural and finishing applications
• Cobblestones and pavers for paving and landscaping
• Crushed aggregates for roads, concrete, and general building works
• Memorial stone products for tombstone and monument manufacturers

The team behind the business

The company is led by me as founder and Managing Director, with direct responsibility for strategy, operations, customer relationships, and investor communication. My background in civil construction materials supply and aggregate logistics gives me practical familiarity with contractor requirements, turnaround expectations, and the realities of quarry-linked distribution.

I am supported by a technically focused leadership team built for quarry execution.

• Avery Singh, a mining engineer with over 10 years of open-pit experience in Zimbabwe, serves as Technical Director and leads mine planning, blasting, and equipment optimisation.
• Alex Chen, a qualified mechanical engineer with regional crushing plant maintenance experience, oversees plant uptime, mechanical reliability, and maintenance discipline.
• Reese Johansson, a chartered accountant with mining and manufacturing client experience, manages finance, budgeting, reporting, and investor-facing controls.
• Morgan Kim leads sales and marketing, drawing on experience in building materials sales and B2B digital campaigns for hardware customers.

This mix of operational, technical, financial, and commercial leadership is designed to keep the business focused on delivery, margin control, and repeat sales.

Why investors should understand this company clearly

Mazvikadei Dimension Stone (Pvt) Ltd is not a speculative quarry concept. It is a focused industrial business serving a visible domestic demand gap in Zimbabwe’s building and memorials value chain. Our competitive edge comes from proximity to market, processed product capability, and the ability to offer predictable supply to customers who cannot afford downtime.

:::warning Core business discipline
The first priority of the company is execution quality.

• Maintain consistent stone size and finish
• Protect delivery reliability into Harare and surrounding towns
• Keep quarry production aligned to market demand
• Build repeat customer relationships rather than one-off sales
• Preserve cost discipline while scaling output
  :::

We are trading in USD as the base currency for contracts and reporting, which adds pricing clarity for customers and supports easier financial planning with investors and lenders. With registered company status, a defined management team, and a market already shaped by construction demand, Mazvikadei Dimension Stone (Pvt) Ltd is structured to move from development into dependable production with a clear commercial purpose.
