Business
Time , Planet Earth welcomes a new generation of industrial firms, firms with a whole new zeal for the extraordinary; These are firms that are razor sharp, competitive ,profitable and yet deeply sensitive to the environment-both natural and social–we are 1 such company. For starters we use highly innovative clean technology applications and practices that will redefine the very fundamentals of a whole range of everyday use luxury fashion - call us LVMH of tomorrow .
We are looking to scale up to match global demand , the total investment required is in the range of USD 55 million but to start with circa 3-5 million should be good enough to start trading in reasonable volumes,we are confident that once we cross Stage1 funding we have a number of other funding avenues open for the company to quickly move on.
Approx. $ 8,500 of which Operational overheads incl. establishment infra cost is coming to $3,100,inventory is coming to another $3000 , $ 1000 towards interests and debt repayments, balance is going into marketing.
At least 2 more rounds are planned to ramp up geographic scale as well as to expand product range, the 3rd round would in all probability be an IPO or any other suitable form of large scale funding
Typically they are upmarket consumers of Super Luxury brands
