1.0 Executive Summary

1.1 Business Overview
PrimeFeathers Agro Ltd. is a proposed medium-scale chicken processing venture situated in Ikorodu, Lagos. The business will focus on the slaughtering, cleaning, packaging, and distribution of processed chicken to supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, and households across Lagos. With growing health awareness and demand for hygienically processed meat, this venture is strategically positioned to address the supply deficit in Lagos’s poultry value chain.

1.2 Our Vision
To become a leading, trusted supplier of hygienically processed chicken in Southwest Nigeria, starting with Lagos State.

1.3 Our Mission
To provide high-quality, affordable, and hygienically packaged chicken products to Nigerian consumers through efficient processing, cold-chain logistics, and excellent customer service.

1.4 Business Objectives
Within the first 5 years, PrimeFeathers Agro Ltd. aims to:

• Process and distribute up to 1,000 birds daily by Year 3.
• Expand its distribution to cover 70% of Lagos supermarkets and major hotels.
• Achieve monthly revenues of ₦25 million and a 25% profit margin by Year 4.
• Implement full cold chain delivery with branded refrigerated vans.

1.5 Start-up Capital Requirement
The business requires ₦18.2 million in start-up capital, allocated as follows:

1.6 Funding Request
We are seeking an investment or loan facility of ₦18.2 million to kick-start the operation. The investor will receive either equity or a loan return at 20% annual interest.

2.0 Business Description

2.1 Industry Background
The Nigerian poultry industry is worth over ₦1.6 trillion, with Lagos accounting for a significant chunk due to its large population and food service industry. Yet, over 60% of poultry consumption in Lagos remains informal and unhygienic, dominated by live bird markets. This gap presents a huge opportunity for hygienically processed, packaged chicken delivered with traceable quality assurance.

2.2 Business Opportunity
Many consumers prefer clean, quick-to-cook options, especially working-class families and institutional buyers. However, they face challenges such as inconsistent supply, lack of trust in hygiene, and limited access to processing centers. PrimeFeathers Agro Ltd. seeks to resolve these issues through a well-located, compliant chicken processing facility with direct-to-retail distribution.

2.3 Business Ownership & Legal Form
PrimeFeathers Agro Ltd. will be registered as a Limited Liability Company with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and certified by NAFDAC and the Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture.

2.4 Products and Services
The business will offer:

• Whole frozen chicken (cleaned and packaged)
• Chicken parts (wings, thighs, drumsticks, breast)
• Offals (gizzards, liver, heart)
• Bulk supply to restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets
• Home delivery in Lagos (subscription-based)

2.5 Unique Selling Points
PrimeFeathers Agro Ltd. stands out due to:

• ISO-compliant hygiene and safety protocols
• Cold-chain delivery vans
• Branded packaging with expiration & batch numbers
• Live slaughter option with video feed (for transparency)
