Default Where can I find a business partner/investor

Dear everybody, Where can I find a business partner or a sleeping investor to move this business forward.


I have had comments on Remortgage your house. At this moment in time here in Spain. Banks are not lending. But what I would be willing to do is take a second charge on the property to cover the investors outlay. That is how much I believe in this business. So, all budding Angels have got nothing to lose. This is the perfect time to get into this business here in Spain. We are about to suffer a severe water shortage this year.



The company is a high end firm with a reputation for integrity, quality and excellence in management. In the past 3 years of operation, sales have increased to well over 40,000 euros per month at the Guardamar office.

The company was formed 3 years ago. The company has experienced steady growth throughout the Costa Blanca since its inception. The company is located in Urb La Marina & an additional office in Guardamar.

95% of gross sales derive from our product. At the moment there are 8 permanent employees on the payroll and a number of sub contractors excluding sub contracting companies at the Guardamar office.

(The product is Artificial Grass) There is a huge demand for this product especially with local town halls that will have to stop watering their parks, green areas and road sides etc due to the water shortages here in Spain. Residential clients are seeing the benefits and durability of the product with No slippery tiles, No hot tiles, and the value it brings to the garden areas. Children love it.

In addition to the grass, our display shop has Stone statues, Water features, Garden lighting and Teak Garden furniture which compliments our main product. In addition to this we would add, BBQ’s, Spa’s, Pergolas, Sheds, Swimming Pool products, Garden accessories, in fact anything that was to do with the garden and outdoors.

The company’s short term objective for the next 3 years is to increase activity in all areas of Spain including the Canary Islands, Majorca, Ibiza, Portugal and the UK.

Its long term objective is to maintain a sales level of over 500,000 euros per year or 95% market share and move into additional countries and franchise the concept thereafter.

To implement these objectives the company is only seeking an equity investment of
€45,000 for 50% share of the La Marina Display shop.

The product is heavily advertised and distributed throughout this current area. The company is to appear on Sol TV very soon and has a large advertising presence here in Spain. It will also be featured in well known UK magazines this June. The inquiries that are generated by this media exposure will be split between the Guardamar office and La Marina office. With ongoing signed six figure contracts to Elche Council. Our office in La Marina is firmly in place to become extremely pro-active this year.

We anticipate offering to sleeping partners an annual ROI of 40% for the next 3 years. Possible exit strategies can include the sale or merger of the La Marina office, or a management buyout.

The La Marina office costs 80,000 euros. It is currently being extensively refurbished this April and will hold a valued stock of over 25,000 euros.

The Company has recently created an Internet presence which will include multiple language usage for international clients/product. Using our extensive knowledge of SEO. Search Engine Optimisation we would be able to generate extensive interest in the product on a global scale.

The prospects for the company’s continued growth are excellent, with contracts underway exceeding 500,000 per annum in the Guardamar office alone.

For equity the company in La Marina has the shop/office valued at 80,000 euros. This is well undervalued. In addition there is also ongoing contracts, and goodwill. The company’s objective is to satisfy that market segment that demands this product and to maintain a steady growth in sales volume that will sustain the company for many years to come.

This company is now a recommended choice for many customers due to the excellence of this product/services and management. Market research shows that we intend to pursue this market vigorously. There is currently no opposition or rival that can match our estimates and product.

Financial Objectives over the next 3 years La Marina Office

Year 1, Sales 250,000
Year 2, Sales 500,000
Year 3, Sales 1,000,000

These figures are net income before tax; these figures would be generated from the La Marina office. I anticipate opening additional areas throughout Spain etc over the next 5 years.

Monthly rent currently set at 1700 euros Inc: IVA. La Marina office
Water & Electric nominal
Telephone @ 150 euros per month

I am either seeking an entrepreneurial minded hands on/pro-active person or a sleeping business partner. There will be extensive travelling involved for future business relationships. Bilingual would be an advantage, but we would anticipate employing a company representative to accompany one of us. Full product training will be given at the Guardamar location.

In addition to the above offer, the company has secured a licensed distribution contract for the whole of the Costa Blanca on an additional promotional product. This alone can produce over 80,000 euros a year.

Please review the business plan and investment proposal, and of course feel free to ask additional information or explanations. Please make an appointment at your convenience, so that we may discuss this investment opportunity in further detail.
I look forward to a mutually profitable relationship with you.

Yours faithfully
