Description: Crazy Steve's Concoctions, LLC is a manufacturer of shelf stable pickles and salsas. Their products are gourmet and positioned at the high end of the market in terms of both quality and price. Crazy Steve's Concoctions is in its third year and has grown in popularity, branding and repeat business, currently in 10 of the more than 70 Whole Foods that is approved for. Crazy Steve's Concoctions has several objectives that they will achieve within the next three years. The first is an increase in sales reaching two million dollars by Year 3. Crazy Steve's Concoctions also would like gross margins to be above 55%. Crazy Steve's Concoctions also hopes to have 40 different outlets that will distribute their product. Lastly, they aim to become known as the premier condiment food producer in the area with an ever-expanding geographic distribution area. Currently, Crazy Steve's Concoctions has two main line of products. Their flagship product is their pickles, renowned for its crispness, unique flavors, and quality ingredients. Originally introduced with one flavor, Crazy Steve's Concoctions has expanded to 5 varieties, each being different in flavor and use. Crazy Steve's Concoctions offers five different salsas as well each with 2 different heat levels, which are used with chips or as a variety of cooking accompaniments. Crazy Steve's Concoctions is the brainchild of Steve N. Zielinski Sr. Steve is the President and has 12 years of food industry experience and over 10 years of sales experience. His fresh unique ideas and marketing approaches have helped jettison these concoctions into 70+ grocery and specialty food stores, has been sold to consumers in over 5 states and nationwide through the internet. Crazy Steve's Concoctions forecasts a net profit this year. The commensurate modest profit margin will be achieved from sales. The financials within the plan further reinforce the exciting nature of this business. We are looking for $100K in equity financing to expand our business and meet projections.
