Restoring Pride in Our Memon CentreA complete funding & operating partnership
We will fund the entire £1.8 million refurbishment, transform the centre into a 5-star wedding and conference venue, and run a premium daily kids' homeschooling centre — all at no cost to the Association. In return: a 100-year lease, 20% of revenue to our business, and every remaining pound first repaying our capital, then flowing fully to the Memon community.
A centre worthy of the Memon name
Two complementary, professionally-run businesses inside one beautifully restored building — bringing daily life, weekly celebration, and long-term income back to the community.
Our trustees have worked tirelessly — but the building has fallen into disrepair, and community fundraising alone has not delivered the refurbishment the Centre needs.
We say this with deep respect for everyone who has given their time and money. The path forward needs a different model: a fully-funded, professionally operated partnership that removes risk from the Association while preserving the Centre as a Memon asset for generations to come.
5-Star wedding & conference venue
The main hall complex becomes a premium venue rivalling the best in London — fine finishes, professional service, and proud Memon hospitality.
Daily kids' homeschooling centre
The front of the building runs as a commercial homeschooling programme modelled on Atlanta's Moonrise — premium, professional, fee-paying.
A revitalised landmark
Once again a vibrant hub of the community — a place that brings pride, daily activity and lasting income to every Memon family.
Clear, transparent, written in good faith
Six terms. Nothing hidden, nothing complicated. Designed so trustees, members, and our children's children can all read it and understand exactly what is being offered.
Funded entirely by us — personally and directly. No loans, no asks, no community fundraising.
A long-term commitment to operate, maintain and care for the building as a Memon asset.
A fixed, transparent business margin — the same percentage for the entire 100-year period.
Used to repay our £1.8M investment. Once repaid, 100% flows to the Memon Association trustees.
No financial exposure, no operating responsibility, no maintenance liability — at any point.
The Association retains full freehold ownership throughout. The Centre always remains ours.
A 100-year promise to the community
Once our £1.8M is recovered, every pound of excess profit — for the remainder of the lease — belongs to the Memon Association to deploy on whatever community goals the trustees choose.
- No cost to members
- No risk to trustees
- Full Memon ownership
Built entirely from the Memon Association's own numbers
All figures are taken directly from your Projections tab — the conservative 3 hires per week scenario (Hall 1: 3 days, Hall 2: 2 days, Hall 3: 1 day), 42-week operating year, with the 10% annual growth assumption already in your model.
Projected annual revenue
Venue hire + rental income (first 12 years)
Operating surplus & community flow
Excess profits first repay the £1.8M capital. From 2031, the entire community line flows to the trustees.
Year-by-year breakdown
First 10 years — full 100-year model continues at +10% YoY thereafter.

*Sensitivity note: even at these baseline numbers, the £1.8M capital is fully repaid in 2031, after which the community begins receiving substantial annual surpluses. Operating expenses are estimated at 45% of gross revenue based on your Projections tab cash-paid-out figures (excluding loan and contractor lines, since refurbishment is funded directly).
From repayment to a community dividend
Capital is recovered in 2031 — just 5 years after opening. Every pound after that benefits the Memon community.
