Since it’s launch in July 2009, www.nzwineonline.com.au has proven to be a successful business model with enormous opportunity for future growth. In just choosing to sell NZ wine, we have created a point of difference in our website, as well as creating significant value for the NZ wine industry in Australia.

Our website has been professionally designed with clean, clear ordering processes to ensure and outstanding customer experience online. The site has also been designed to maximise advertising revenue opportunities that provide a sulf-sufficient business model for further site enhancements and maintenance. Further site functionality enhancements are being rolled out in July 2010 to drive better results across the key areas of SEO, traffic and conversion rates.

Our Wine Club business model has been proven and with investment will become a highly profitable growth area for our business. Increasing sales capacity and volumes will provide the business with excellent forward sales figures and drive significant volume discounts, further increasing an already profitable operation.

Our business model of e-tailing is an almost perfect one with several key benefits:

-         Minimal fixed costs and overheads

-         Our products are all premium wines attracting high margins

-         Excellent cashflows

-         Minimal stock-holding requirements

-         Streamlined and efficient operations – minimal staff cost requirements

With this proven model, we are now looking to aggressively expand our Wine Club membership and marketing databases. This expansion provides the potential for excellent Net profit and ROE figures from 12 months onwards. NZWO is looking to raise AUD$325k in total to fund the expansion. The potential return on investment is significant and the long-term opportunities for the business in expansion and diversification will ensure NZWO remains an attractive investment beyond the short-term.

I look forward to meeting with interested parties to discuss more about the business and the exciting prospects ahead. A full business plan is available for interested parties and a detailed 5 year forecast will be available on signing the appropriate NDA.

After over 30 years in the lighting industry we have established an independent lighting agency specialising in energy-efficient lighting products. Products include Dimmable and controllable HID Control Gear, high-quality LED lighting, as well as performance HID and fluorescent light fixtures manufactured both in Australia and the US.

We require $350,000 to set up an experienced sales and marketing network and to establish modest inventory and facility requirements. Our detailed marketing plan is in place, orders have already been received and we have a number of potential projects in the works.

Our accountant, a seasoned professional with business start-up experience, is willing to discuss the business and financial projections with serious potential investors.

We have an experienced team who have won awards for their creative lighting solutions.  We are committed to providing environmentally friendly lighting for the local and state government and commercial markets.

We have the ability to research, develop, manufacture and install unique lighting solutions that provide greater energy savings and lower maintenance costs than our competitors.  This provides a faster pay back time and less impact on the environment.

We are currently developing, down light, fluorescent light and street light replacements that use 50-80% less power and can last 10-15 years without maintenance.

We offer the opportunity to invest directly in projects or to take equity in a fund that will hold a spread of investments.

We have web-based projects, a property project, a franchise project, an environmentaly friendly project, a SME networking project and a continual pipeline of new projects and opportunities that are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Adding value to projects through expert input, resources and funding; and

Leveraging the value created through each stage until exit
