AFRICA IS YOUR MARKET. ZIMBABWE IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
Build With Us From the Beginning.
To African entrepreneurs, traders, manufacturers, investors, innovators and business owners:
Africa is rich in people, ideas, skills, cultures and natural resources. Yet many African businesses still struggle to find one another, access larger markets and build lasting partnerships.
Africa International Market (AIM) was established to help change that.
Developed by New Africa Barter Alternative (NABA) (Pvt) Ltd, AIM is a planned 22-hectare International Barter Trade Marketplace located in Zaka District, Masvingo Province, Zimbabwe.
Our vision is to create one marketplace where Africans can trade, invest, innovate, exchange cultures, share skills and build businesses together.
Zimbabwe's Open for Business policy and Ease of Doing Business reforms encourage investment, entrepreneurship and economic growth. AIM seeks to contribute to that vision by creating opportunities for businesses of all sizes.
AIM IS CURRENTLY IN ITS FOUNDATIONAL DEVELOPMENT STAGE
Road opening and site preparation have begun.
This is an opportunity for entrepreneurs, businesses and investors to position themselves early and become part of the foundation of a marketplace designed for long-term growth.
The greatest opportunities often belong to those who believe in a vision before it is fully realised.

SLIDE 1: TITLE SLIDE

AFRICA INTERNATIONAL MARKET (AIM)

Building Africa's First Integrated Marketplace — Cash and Barter, Side by Side

📍 25.83 Hectares | Clear Day Market Village | Zaka, Jerera, Zimbabwe

Powered by New Africa Barter Alternative (NABA) Pvt Ltd

---

SLIDE 2: THE PROBLEM — TWO SHORTAGES CHOKING AFRICAN TRADE

Africa's SMEs face two structural crises:

🔴 Crisis 1: No Integrated Trading Infrastructure

· Between Harare, Chiredzi, and Beitbridge — Africa's busiest border post — there is zero structured, multi-sector marketplace
· Traders operate from roadsides, informal clusters, and fragmented locations
· No single location combines retail, logistics, tourism, and services
· Result: High transaction costs, low visibility, and no ecosystem benefits

🔴 Crisis 2: Chronic Working Capital Shortages — Not Everyone Has Cash

· Over 80% of Zimbabwean SMEs are cash-constrained
· Forex shortages make importing and trading difficult
· Credit is inaccessible for informal and semi-formal businesses
· Result: Many willing buyers and sellers cannot transact simply because cash is unavailable

👉 The market is demanding a solution. None exists yet.

---

SLIDE 3: OUR SOLUTION — AIM

Africa International Market is an integrated economic platform that serves everyone — whether they have cash or not.

Problem AIM Solution
No integrated marketplace 14-zone serviced ecosystem on 25.83 hectares — retail, logistics, tourism, culture, services all in one location
Cash shortages block trade NABA Barter Platform — an optional tool enabling goods and services exchange when cash is tight

AIM is a normal marketplace first.
NABA Barter is a voluntary tool for those who want it.
Cash and barter operate side by side. No one is forced. Everyone is welcome.

---

SLIDE 4: THE NABA BARTER OPTION — AN OPEN DOOR, NOT A REQUIREMENT

What NABA Barter Is — and What It Is Not

NABA Barter IS NABA Barter IS NOT
✅ Optional — any tenant can choose to participate or not ❌ Mandatory — no one is forced to barter
✅ Complementary — operates alongside normal cash transactions ❌ A replacement for cash — cash is still the primary medium
✅ Inclusive — embraces those who lack cash, includes those who have it ❌ Exclusive — does not create two classes of traders
✅ A tool for liquidity — helps businesses trade when cash is scarce ❌ A closed system — open to all AIM tenants and registered external participants
✅ Voluntary — join, use when needed, stop when you don't ❌ A permanent commitment — businesses use it as and when it benefits them

How It Works (For Those Who Opt In):

1. Business A has maize but needs transport — pays transporter in NABA credits (optional)
2. Transporter needs shop goods — uses NABA credits at participating AIM shops (optional)
3. Shop sells goods for cash to customers — earns cash and NABA credits (optional)
4. Every transaction is tracked — building a trade history for participants
5. Businesses can convert between cash and barter as they choose — no lock-in

The Principle:
"If you have cash, use cash. If you don't have cash, use barter. Either way, trade continues."

👉 NABA Barter is a bridge, not a wall. It brings more people into the economy — it does not divide them.

---

SLIDE 5: WHY BARTER MATTERS — EVEN THOUGH IT'S OPTIONAL

Investor Question: "If barter is optional, why is it important to the investment case?"

Answer: Because optionality is exactly what makes it powerful.

Benefit Explanation
Wider customer base Businesses using NABA can access customers who lack cash — expanding their market without risk
Tenant resilience When cash is tight (forex shortages, economic downturns), tenants can still trade via barter — reducing default risk on leases
Ecosystem stickiness Businesses that benefit from barter stay longer — it's a retention tool, not a requirement
Platform revenue Every optional barter transaction generates a small facilitation fee — diversified income for AIM
Financial inclusion Informal traders, farmers, and artisans who are excluded from formal banking can participate in the formal marketplace
No one loses Cash users are unaffected. Barter users gain a tool they didn't have before. AIM benefits from higher overall activity.

👉 Barter is not the main event — it is the safety net and the growth accelerator. Optionality is the strength, not the weakness.

---

SLIDE 6: LAND TENURE & LEGAL STRUCTURE — TRANSPARENT & DEFENDABLE

The Legal Framework

Level Entity Instrument Term
Head Lease Zaka Rural District Council → NABA Pvt Ltd Lease Agreement with Council Consent to Sublease Annual renewable
Sublease NABA Pvt Ltd → Investor / Tenant Registered Sublease Agreement with Council Consent Annual renewable, aligned with head lease

How It Works

1. Council leases 25.83 hectares to NABA — Annual lease, renewable. NABA pays annual lease to Council.
2. Council grants consent for NABA to sublease — This consent is embedded in the head lease agreement.
3. NABA subleases individual plots to investors/tenants — Each sublease is a formal, registrable agreement.
4. Council consent is obtained for each sublease — Ensuring legal standing and enforceability.
5. Renewal is annual — Both head lease and subleases renew yearly. You pay your annual sublease fee each year to renew.

Defending the Annual Renewal Model

Concern Reality & Mitigation
"What if the Council doesn't renew?" NABA maintains an active, transparent relationship with Council. The project delivers on Council's own development mandate — job creation, infrastructure, SME growth. A non-renewal would harm Council's own constituents. Council has every incentive to renew.
"What if my sublease isn't renewed?" Your sublease is registered with Council consent. As long as you comply with terms (pay your annual sublease fee, operate lawfully), non-renewal without cause would be legally challengeable.
"Annual renewal creates uncertainty." Annual renewal means annual accountability. NABA must deliver value every year. Long-term leases can breed complacency. Our model forces performance.
"Can I get bank financing with an annual lease?" Registrable subleases with Council consent are recognised legal instruments. We are developing relationships with financial institutions familiar with this structure.

Path to longer tenure: As the project matures, NABA will negotiate extended lease terms (e.g., 5–10 year renewable blocks) with Council. Early anchor tenants will have first right to convert when available.

👉 We do not hide the annual renewal. We explain why it works and how tenants are protected. Council is a partner, not an obstacle.

SLIDE 9: HOW THE MODEL WORKS — ANY SIZE, ANY ZONE, WELCOME

Investor comes to AIM. This is what happens:

Step Action
1 You tell us: "I want to build [business name] and I need [X] square meters"
2 We tell you: "That belongs in [Zone Name]"
3 We show you available plots in that zone
4 You choose your exact plot size — any size you want
5 We calculate your annual sublease fee based on your size
6 You pay the annual sublease fee (paid each year to renew)
7 You build your own structure (warehouse, restaurant, pharmacy, lodge, garage, etc.) — one-time cost for you
8 You pay a monthly service fee for water, security, and refuse collection
9 You operate your business. You keep your revenue.
10 Optional: You join the NABA Barter network — or not. Your choice.
11 Each year, you pay your annual sublease fee again to renew your sublease

What AIM provides:

· Serviced plot with roads, water, electricity access, security, waste management
· Council-consented, registrable sublease (renewable annually)
· Placement in the correct zone for your business
· Optional barter platform
· Zone-specific events and marketing

What you provide:

· Annual sublease fee (paid every year)
· Monthly service fee (paid every month)
· Your own building construction (one-time cost for you — to AIM design guidelines)
· Your own business operations
· Your own working capital

👉 We do not build for you. You build. We enable. You pay annually to stay.

---

SLIDE 10: PRICING — ANY SIZE. YOU CHOOSE. SIMPLE FORMULA.

We do not limit you. You tell us the size you want. We calculate.

Formula:

· Annual Sublease Fee = (Your size in m² ÷ 2,500) × $17,500 (paid every year)
· Monthly Service Fee = (Your size in m² ÷ 2,500) × $200 (paid every month)

Minimum monthly service fee: $50 (for plots under 625 m²)

Examples:

What you want Size Annual Sublease Fee Monthly Service Fee
Small pharmacy 300 m² $1,400 per year $50 (minimum)
Restaurant 2,500 m² $17,500 per year $200
Warehouse (2 hectares) 20,000 m² $140,000 per year $1,600
Craft shop 500 m² $3,500 per year $50 (minimum)
Large warehouse (5 hectares) 50,000 m² $350,000 per year $4,000
Daycare 2,500 m² $17,500 per year $200
Car wash 1,000 m² $7,000 per year $80
Garage (auto repair) 2,500 m² $17,500 per year $200
Fuel station 5,000 m² $35,000 per year $400

What the annual sublease fee covers:

· Council head lease (your share)
· Roads to your plot
· Borehole water allocation
· Electrical connection (grid + solar hybrid)
· Perimeter fencing (your share)
· Survey and legal (Council consent, sublease registration)
· Project management and masterplan

What the monthly service fee covers:

· Water usage
· 24/7 security
· Refuse collection and waste management

Total Year 1 Cost for 2,500 m²:

· Annual sublease fee: $17,500
· Monthly service fees (12 months): $2,400
· Total: $19,900

Year 2 and beyond: Same $19,900 each year (plus your own maintenance)

👉 No hidden costs. No surprise levies. Every tenant knows exactly what they pay for — and when.

---

SLIDE 11: WHAT AIM DOES NOT DO — BEING HONEST

We do NOT Because
Borrow money Annual sublease fees fund infrastructure year by year
Build your structure You build what you need for your business (one-time cost for you)
Reject anyone Tell us your business and size. If it fits a zone, you are welcome.
Limit your size You choose any size from 200 m² to 5+ hectares. Only limit is available land.
Force you to barter NABA Barter is optional. Cash is always welcome.
Offer permanent land ownership Land is leased from Council. You hold an annual renewable sublease.

👉 We are an enabler, not a controller. You pay annually. You stay as long as you pay.

---

SLIDE 12: DEFENDING THE FEES — HONEST COMPARISON

"Why should I pay an annual sublease fee when I can lease raw land elsewhere cheaper?"

Cost Item Raw Land (Self-Develop) AIM Serviced Plot (2,500 m²)
Annual land access $500–$2,000 per year Included in annual sublease ($17,500)
Borehole drilling $5,000–$15,000 (once-off) $0 — shared via annual sublease
Electricity connection & transformer $3,000–$10,000 (once-off) $0 — shared via annual sublease
Access road construction $10,000+ (once-off) $0 — shared via annual sublease
Perimeter security $2,000+/year $0 — included in monthly fee
Customer footfall guarantee None Events, ecosystem, 500+ businesses
Complementary businesses nearby None 14 zones of co-located enterprises
Access to barter network None Optional NABA platform access

Total Year 1 Cost (Approx. for 2,500 m²):

· Raw land (self-develop): $21,500–$38,000 first year + ongoing variable costs
· AIM: $17,500 annual sublease + $2,400 annual service = $19,900 fixed, predictable

👉 The AIM model reduces total cost of operating a business by aggregating infrastructure costs across hundreds of tenants. Alone, you cannot afford a borehole, a transformer, a road, and security. Together, it works. And you pay annually — not all at once.

---

SLIDE 13: PHASED DEVELOPMENT PLAN

We do not build everything at once. Annual sublease fees from plot buyers fund infrastructure year by year.

Phase Timeline Area Scope
Pre-Development Months 1–6 — Surveys, masterplan, regulatory approvals, Council sublease consent framework
Phase 1A Months 7–12 Area 1 Primary roads, boreholes, grid connection, fencing, gatehouse
Phase 1B Months 13–24 Area 1 + partial Area 2 Secondary roads, additional boreholes, solar array, waste system
Phase 2 Months 25–36 Area 2 Extended services, accommodation zone, health & education facilities
Phase 3 Months 37+ Makota EPB Automotive, expanded logistics, warehousing

👉 Infrastructure is funded by annual sublease fees from plot buyers. We do not borrow. As more tenants join, more infrastructure is built.

---

SLIDE 14: REVENUE MODEL — SIMPLE AND SUSTAINABLE

Revenue Stream Type Description
Annual sublease fees Recurring (yearly) Paid by each investor based on plot size — funds infrastructure
Monthly service fees Recurring (monthly) Water, security, refuse collection
Event coordination fees Occasional Zone-specific festivals, markets, gigs
NABA Barter fees Optional upside Transaction fees for those who opt in
Advertising & sponsorship Ancillary Billboards, naming rights

👉 The core model (annual sublease fees + monthly service fees) sustains operations year after year. Barter and events are upside.

---

SLIDE 15: MARKET VALIDATION — THE GAP IS REAL

Indicator Data Point
Cross-border traders via Masvingo corridor (annual) 500,000+ (estimated)
SMEs in Masvingo Province 40,000+ (formal and informal)
Annual informal trade Zim–SA border $3–5 billion+
Integrated formal marketplaces on this corridor 0
Nearest comparable facility Harare (>300km) or Musina, SA (>50km from border)

👉 The Harare–Beitbridge corridor is one of Africa's busiest trade routes. It has no structured, multi-sector marketplace. AIM fills this gap — for cash and barter users alike.

---

SLIDE 16: STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT — POLICY TAILWINDS

Policy / Initiative How AIM Aligns
Zimbabwe Vision 2030 Job creation, industrialisation, SME growth, rural development
African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Physical infrastructure for intra-African trade
SADC Trade Protocols Facilitating cross-border commerce and logistics
Government Decentralisation Agenda Creating economic nodes outside Harare and Bulawayo
Financial Inclusion Policy NABA Barter brings unbanked traders into formal economic activity
Local Council Development Mandate Zaka RDC directly benefits from AIM's success — rates, jobs, economic activity

👉 AIM is not working against policy — it rides multiple policy tailwinds. Council is a partner, not a regulator.

---

SLIDE 17: TRACTION — WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED

Milestone Status
25.83-hectare site secured via Council head lease ✅ Confirmed
Site survey and subdivision complete (500+ plots) ✅ Makota survey plan
14-zone masterplan designed ✅
Council consent to sublease ✅ Confirmed
NABA Barter platform concept ✅ Design phase
Government & Council engagement ✅ Ongoing
Anchor tenant discussions ⏳ Active conversations
First annual sublease agreement ⏳ Ready to sign

---

SLIDE 18: INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY — HOW YOU PARTICIPATE

You are not "investing" in the traditional sense. You are becoming an AIM tenant with an annual sublease.

Your role What you do
You choose Your business type and zone
You choose Your exact plot size (any size you want)
You pay Annual sublease fee based on your size (paid each year)
You build Your own structure (one-time cost for you)
You pay Monthly service fee for water, security, refuse
You operate Your business. You keep your revenue.
You renew Each year, you pay your annual sublease fee again to continue

Or you can invest as a passive partner:

· Fund infrastructure for a zone
· Receive share of annual sublease fees and monthly service fees from that zone

👉 Minimum plot size: None. Maximum: Until land runs out. Everyone is welcome. You pay annually. You stay as long as you pay.

---

SLIDE 19: RISK & MITIGATION — HONEST & COMPLETE

Risk Reality Mitigation
Council non-renewal of head lease Council benefits from AIM — jobs, rates, development Strong, active relationship with Council; AIM delivers on Council's mandate
Annual renewal uncertainty for tenants Annual leases are common in Zimbabwe Subleases are registrable with Council consent; compliant tenants have legal protection; path to longer terms
Low initial tenant uptake Every development faces this Flexible sizing; multiple zones; anchor discussions before major infrastructure
Remote location perception Zaka is not Harare Event-driven destination strategy; transport corridor integration; clear cost advantage
Infrastructure ex*****on Building roads, water, power is hard Phased approach; experienced contractors; shared-cost model funded by annual fees
Barter adoption is slow Voluntary — some won't use it That's fine. The model does not depend on barter fees. Barter is upside, not survival.
Tenant non-payment of annual sublease Sublease expires Clear terms. Non-payment = no renewal. No ambiguity.
Regulatory or political change Zimbabwe has history Council partnership provides local political cover; multi-stream revenue provides resilience

👉 Every risk is acknowledged. Every risk has a planned response. The core model works without barter.
