Description:
Colorado Case Company makes four different branded lines of musical case products. Three of the brands are made in the USA at our Colorado facility. The fourth is in partnership with Boulder based Case Logic and are made in China. All of our brands are very well known and recognized in the world of professional musicians.
Our products compete well in the market place due to our unique design features and proprietary materials that offer benefits unavailable anywhere else. We have many testimonials from professional musicians and almost all big touring bands or solo acts have members using our products. This includes bands such as Tim McGraw, Dixie Chicks and Lyle Lovett along with many popular solo acts such as John Mayer, Pepe Romero and Jose Feliciano.
We are comfortably stable, but have several opportunities in front of us that we can't capitalize on due to lack of access to capital. We also believe that now is the time for a significant retail push as we come out of recession and retail stores start to bring on new lines. But to do so we need sales/marketing staff and budget.
We are not looking for "gimick" lending brokers. In fact we would prefer to only deal with direct lenders directly, though nothing is off the table completely.
