जोखिम कारक

• Break-even risk: 4 to 9 months can extend if leads drop or discounts increase
• Revenue volatility: wide range ($12,600–$21,600) suggests demand fluctuations by season/event calendar
• Competition pressure: 33 nearby competitors may force price/offer wars for weddings and events
• Low local purchasing power: GDP/capita of $2,695 can limit premium package uptake
• Margin compression risk: profit range ($3,260–$8,660) indicates sensitivity to staffing, rentals, and marketing spend
