New Opportunity
Last week, the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment announced that EU has made available 256million Euro to finance 65%-80% of units and producers who want to modernize and make use of technological advances to improve customer (Agriculture Producers’) product quality and be able export goods to European markets at fair prices.
Our company has a great reputation in the local market, but our sales are slow due to the fact that local farmers can’t afford new equipment every year. With Cyprus’s accession into the EU, this substantial amount of funding will allow farmers access to newer and more efficient equipment. Local farmers will only purchase equipment that is proven to be efficient. Our experience has shown that the best way for them to be convinced is to bring equipment to their fields.
Kouros Brothers Ltd.’s earnings and assets are good, but we don’t have enough cash to buy the demonstration equipment we need in order to realize the sales potential provided by the Government funds. To promote its sales, the company plans to hire local people and provide extensive training on its products and services. Through word-of–mouth, loyal customers help to expand company’s business.
We have identified potential customers and communities willing and able for the new product series to be tested. More importantly, the equipments from the pilot program will be used in the October International fair for agriculture and livestock, which will be held at Nicosia, Cyprus. And also, the company plans to participate in the Thesalloniki state Agricultural fair that will take place on the 28th January next. The company will be the sole agent and sales representative in Cyprus, Greece, and Syria for a series of Wheat plant systems. It must promote its products to every marketing opportunity.
For the expansion of the company, the company needs funding in the amount PS50,000. To expand the business, additional equipment will be purchased to enable the company’s products and services to be promoted and displayed. The expansion plan also includes the hiring of additional personnel. The loan will be repaid over 6 years at 8.5% Interest and principal payments of just PS5,833/year. This loan is in addition to the existing 10,000 loan that will be repaid within the same timeframe at approximately PS1,666/year.
Our projected revenues for year 1 will reach PS274,200 with the new demonstration equipment and well-funded customers. By Year 5, we expect to reach PS400,000.
