Factores de riesgo

• Demand sensitivity that could push break-even from 3 months toward 7 months
• High competition density (433 nearby) increasing customer acquisition costs
• Revenue variability risk if monthly revenue underperforms the $15,120 lower bound
• Profit compression if fixed costs (rent/instructors) reduce the $5,686–$13,462 margin range

Plan de ejecución

1. Choose 1–2 disciplined niches (e.g., BJJ/kickboxing/kids self-defense) and build a clear curriculum and belt progression
2. Secure a high-visibility Guatemala City location and optimize class schedules for peak attendance (after-school and evenings)
3. Launch with retention-focused offers: free trial week, member onboarding, and monthly packages to stabilize the $15,120–$25,920 range
4. Implement a local acquisition engine: Google Business Profile, WhatsApp leads, neighborhood partnerships, and referral rewards
5. Control unit economics by staffing with qualified part-time coaches tied to class capacity and tracking cost per enrolled student
6. Monitor KPIs weekly (lead-to-trial conversion, show-up rate, churn) to protect the 3–7 month break-even timeline
