Subject Line: Turf Feeding Systems for Golf Courses, Landscaping, Sports Fields and Agriculture
Our Company, Turf Feeding Systems, Inc., is seeking $250,000 in expansion capital to grow its business, add inventory of its injection systems, expand its production facilities, and for marketing funds to penetrate existing and new markets in this multi-billion dollar industry. With an influx of capital, we expect that revenues for 2016 can be more than triple the revenues achieved for the 2015 year. Founded in 1986 by Michael Chaplinsky, the Company has been in business for over 29 years with its initial focus on systems for golf course irrigation and fertilizing.
The Company is a manufacturer of complete packaged systems, including accessory components, mixers and tank systems. It is a leader for irrigated landscapes, sports fields, golf courses, resorts and agriculture sites across the United States and around the world. Its fertigation systems inject liquid fertilizer into irrigation water to make it lightly sweet with all the nutrients for the plants, and it is the most efficient method to irrigate and fertilize simultaneously. The cost of landscape maintenance and water use has dramatically increased recently. With its systems, products and technology, we can reduce water use by up to 50% and reduce fertilizer and chemicals by up to 60%, while improving the quality in irrigated operations. These systems can save golf courses (water and fertilizer usage) from $20,000 to $75,000 annually. Similar savings can be obtained in other applications as well.
