Get a good location, start smallish, but very nice, hire great staff and pay them well, jump through the government hoops. With luck you'll break even within the first 18 months. Then ask your great teachers to find more great teachers and expand. In 5 years you'll be doing well. In 20 years, you can compete with ACE, the biggest player in the crowded, but not overcrowded market. Good luck!
Market is beyond saturated, unless you have (literally) millions you can afford to lose on the roll-out, accreditation and the first years of drought, forget it.
