Projects

Ko Lanka is a leading manufacturer of handloom silk and cotton products.

We wish to make a step change in the costs of production with a consequent increase in the volumes of good sold. We will do this by constructing a dye plant, increasing the number of handlooms and opening new retail outlets for both finished products and yarn. The estimated costs are in the region of Rs20 million. Over a five year period the internal rate of return on this investment is estimated to be in the region of 40%.

Neotrophs specialises in the provision of processed herbs, spices and related products. There is a significantly expanding market for organic produce. This proposal seeks funding and assistance with export markets to enable significant growth to take place in this business. The owners have been working in the spice business for many years. The Neotrophs factory is well located with excellent expansion potential, and the ability to take advantage of its position within a BOI( Board of Investment) industrial park in Kandy. This proposal would enable in the region of 240 metric tonnes of finished product to be shipped annually (current market value around $3million). The payback period is less than 2 years and the investment can easily show a return in excess of 40%.

The firm of Royal Construction has maintained a splendid reputation in the sphere of building construction over a period of 18 years. Those who left their homes in the north and east of Sri Lanka and migrated abroad because of the civil war are now coming back as normalcy is being restored in these formerly war- torn areas. This has created a great demand for new homes and constructions. The estimated cost of this proposed luxury housing complex is Rs. 14.7 million. The project is expected to be completed in one year with a net profit of Rs. 3.5 million.

Eco-tourism is a widely-discussed concept in today’s world. Much attention is paid to it in Sri Lanka nowadays. The New Flamingo Safari & Villa Safari Hotel project too, is based on the ecotourism concept. In order to further enhance this project, which is already on a good footing, and to strengthen its management and also to attract tourists directly from abroad through the TOURIST DESK, a capital investment will be required. The capital thus needed amounts to Rs. 1.2 million.
