Feasibility Study for an Import and Export Company in Egypt
In import and export, profit is decided before the shipment moves: the purchase price, freight, customs and the exchange rate at the time of payment. A small change in any one of them can wipe out your entire margin.
Where your money goes
- Shipment value
- Sea or air freight and insurance
- Customs duties, fees and clearance
- Storage and inland transport
- Registration in the relevant importers or exporters register
- Transfer costs and exchange rate exposure
Where the money comes from
- Margin on sales to distributors or factories
- A commercial agency for a foreign brand
- Export revenue earned in foreign currency
What makes Import and Export businesses lose money
- Exchange rate swings between contract and payment
- Delayed customs release
- Shipments delayed or rejected at conformity inspection
- Capital locked up in a single shipment
What the study answers
- The full landed cost per unit at your warehouse
- The capital needed for the first and second shipments
- How exchange rate changes affect profit
- The right shipment size for your capital
To make the numbers accurate, we ask about: Import or export?, Product and country, Approximate first shipment value (EGP), Do you have buyers lined up?.
The numbers are calculated for your project: your city, your capital and the size you plan to start with. Not generic figures copied from the internet.
