Bringing Imagination to Life
Let me start out by thanking those who gave us great advice regarding raising capital. From the investor’s point of view, I realize it can be a daunting task to look at hundreds of funding requests, only to find a handful of solid leads to follow up on. From the entrepreneur’s perspective, the task of seeking capital is important in the long term success of a company. As my grandfather said, “Hard work will pay off…”
Great Lakes Toy Company Holdings Incorporated (GLTC), a leader in toy and game innovation, is seeking funding to launch the second phase of our business. Within a very competitive industry, GLTC has proven to be a strong contender in the toy industry. Our sales team has strong relationships with several mass market distributors as well as smaller stores.
Our sales projections for 2011 are in the upper 7 digits. We are a small company focused on positioning our company in the industry for a future acquisition. The funding requested will allow us to move forward with our manufacturing and operational costs. I know the funding listed here states $500,000, but we actually are looking for funding in the amount of $150,000 to $200,000. This would help us reach our goal and be more aggressive in the market.
We take the success of GLTC very seriously and look forward to working with serious investors who share in our vision of success. If you are interested in more information about this opportunity, please feel free to respond. Our business plan is available upon request, as well as our five,seven and ten year projections if so requested.
I would be willing to accept an investor who would be interested in a Advisory Board position. I'm sure there is much we can learn from each other.
