I’m very interested in your “investment” but the math doesn’t add up. You state you will do 13,000 cases per year at full capacity. You also state you will charge your clients $40 per case so you are at a top line gross rev of $520K. Less expenses how will you even begin to repay your investors? What am I missing?
Hi, Jack! Thanks for the well thought-out question.
This site is just a summary, but a full prospectus with financials is available…. and it will more thoroughly answer your questions. But basically, there are several other revenue streams besides just the crush services.
For any others with questions, if you leave your full email address when you comment then I will send the financials to you. Also feel free to contact Chris directly at 714-470-6400 or ckhoskins@aol.com.
One more thing … Jack — you didn’t leave an email address, so we can’t get back to you. Please contact us directly, or leave another comment with your email. Thanks!
I m curios too..what is the expected return on the investement. The idea sound brilliant, but what is the “upsides vs downsides” ?
These questions are always best answered by having the WHOLE prospectus … it has financials on it. Lars, it looks like you left an email, so I’ll have Chris email that to you. Thanks!!
Thanks for the info! Please send me a prospectus. I’m also interested in being a potential customer. You can email me details, but I would be intereted in having you take the grapes from delivery through to ready-to-cask.
