Growing Forward
Thank you for visiting this page. I own a local mailing equipment business that I started from scratch in February of 2015 as a one man operation. I sell and service products that deal with mail creation and postage stamping. I cover 42 of 67 counties in Alabama as well as some in the Florida panhandle and West Georgia. Since opening my doors in 2015 I have 191 customers as of today. This brings me to a good/bad problem. With the amount of customers I have now, my service calls have increased this year, thus decreasing the amount of sales I have compared to the last couple of years. This problem is making my overall growth flat line. So, in order to get back on track for growth I need two things. I need to hire a technician to handle all of my service calls, and I need to hire an additional sales person to help me cover more territory at the same time. A technician would be the first hire and a sales rep afterwards.
The way we sell our equipment is through leasing. The average lease is 60 months. Which means next year all of the contracts that we signed in 2015 will be up for renewal. This will position my company to see unprecedented growth because we will renew 99% of our existing contracts next year, but also be able to bring in new customers as well. With your help 2020 would position us to reach $600,000 or more in equipment sold. In comparison I myself sold $300,000 in equipment in 2015. So there is a real expectation that, with your help, these numbers are attainable. But I cannot do it without your help. Did I mention that I am the ONLY local business that does what I do? So the potential is enormous for us here.
Why don't I just go to a bank? Well, I started this business by going into debt. That debt is a small portion of what is holding me back from being able to expand today. Since I still am paying down debt the banks are not willing to do any more than they already have.
What is in it for you?
I am offering out 1,000 shares of my company to people who would like to purchase them at $100.00 each. *More shares can be offered if enough inquiries occur*
Each shareholder will have the option to have their shares paid back to them monthly at $10.00 for 20 months, so a 100% ROI. Or, we can place your $10 in an interest bearing account each month and at the end of 36 months we can send you one check for the total amount including the accrued interest. By choosing this method, shareholder would receive a report for his/her account from chosen financial institution.
Each shareholder will get a share certificate mailed to them, along with their choice of either a hat with the company logo or a set of 2 stadium style plastic cups with the company logo as an appreciation gift for your purchase.
