First of all good luck.

I think your time frame will be longer than one year especially with the introduction of EASA due.

Also the J1 isn't available for aviation anymore, and the H1 is so tight on requirements it's very rare for aviation H1s to be issued - so the biggest problem will be getting EASA qualified staff legally - there are plenty of other schools which operate in the grey/dark side of the law and have been doing so for a while as immigration complicates the issue.

The price you seem to be suggesting also seems a little high if it is just shy of CTC's prices and has FAA instructors - why not go elsewhere for cheaper? Unless you can provide the direct airline connection your looking at being at least half the cost of CTC if not lower to compete.
