We have a small, profitable business that serves specific niche in the food service/meal prep arena. We have built this company to be expandable by creating specific, well documented processes and procedures, with the plan being to expand into new markets (up-island > lower mainland > the rest of Canada) either by opening new locations or as a franchise model. We currently have: loyal clients, great social media, corporate partners, documented processes, recipes/ingredient lists, automated systems and custom built software, fully functioning website with affiliate/referral/subscription features There are 3 owners - one focused on social media and accounting, one on technology and business, and one on operations and staffing We have 5 staff members currently. Owners work 2 out of 7 days per week in the kitchen. Our problem - we are not marketers. We can get some new customers via social media, but we have not been able to put together a proper marketing/advertising plan. We have wasted money on traditional media (newspapers) with little to show. Currently we are at about 10-20% of our goals for Victoria. The opportunity: We are looking for a mutually beneficial arrangement. Seeking someone with a marketing or advertising background to invest ~$40,000 and then design and execute a $30,000 advertising plan over the next quarter. We are specifically looking for a fourth partner to buy in and take ownership of this area of the business. Valuation negotiable, assuming 20% range. If done correctly, this marketing plan should raise annual revenue by $250,000 minimum (this would be adding 100 subscribers). Then repeat up-island and for each new market we enter. If this sounds like something you can help with please reach out!
