Lagos Premium Secondary School — Second Campus Expansion Capital

Requirement

An established Lagos private secondary school delivering the IGCSE curriculum to 450 students is raising expansion capital for a second campus. This is not a startup school — it is an operating institution with a filled roll, examination results, and the alumni and parent network that determines whether a second site fills quickly or slowly. That distinction carries most of the investment case. The dominant risk in private school investment is enrolment ramp: a new school with no reputation burns capital for three to five years before reaching sustainable occupancy. A second campus under an established brand, drawing on an existing waiting list and parent referral base, compresses that curve substantially. The Nigerian private education market is estimated at $2.5 billion and continues to grow as public provision fails to keep pace with a population where the median age is under twenty. $1.5M-$3M is sought for site acquisition and development, facilities and the working capital covering the enrolment ramp. Investors should be underwriting the existing institution's academic and financial track record, because that record is what the second campus is actually monetising.
