This proposal offers an investment opportunity in founding a boatyard on Pulau Batam, Republic of Indonesia, and to create a company which builds pleasure and commercial vessels to highest world standards for export to a proven international market, with two serial productions of sailing catamarans already confirmed. These catamarans are placed in a specialist niche with low levels of competition, higher unit profit margins and in a fast growth sector.
The working partners offer the necessary skills in boat building, management and marketing, and additionally have long experience in Asia and Indonesia. The Founder and the proposed General Manager are both European Muslim and able to set-up a company in compliance with Shariah rules (e.g. cash balances stored in Islamic banks, Islamic insurances etc)
The proposed location of Pulau Batam offers advantageous tax laws (no import/export duty, no VAT), Indonesian labour rates and its position near Singapore provides one of the best supply logistics in Asia. This location provides a significant advantage over the other few competitors (the expanding market is such that all good boatyards in Asia have forward orders for years)!
An investment of US$ 790.000 is required for land, buildings, equipment and working capital. It would be an advantage if the investor could provide additional funding allowing further contracts to be secured, which is a distinct possibility even in the short term, once basic facilities are set up. Further growth will depend mainly on the investor’s financial attitude.
This operation is forecast to give more than 30% ROI p.a. within three years of operations commencing and a pre-tax profit of over US$1.400.000 from one serial production alone, with a proportion of the profits being used to fund further expansion.
Many companies are at present seeking production facilities at strategic locations like Pulau Batam. This together with the standardised buildings and layout allows an exit strategy to possible any time.
