Venture Capital Opportunity   Defiance Photography, LLC

Currently Located in The Wisconsin Dells    (Wishing to relocate back to Colorado)

Defiance Photography is looking for $100k in startup capital so that we can expand our Retail business. Defiance Photography is located in Baraboo, WI and currently has gross sales of $250k or Less. Below, I have included some other important details about the funding that we need. Defiance Photography is primarily interested in these funding sources, but will consider all inquiries: - Equity Funding (Venture Capital, Angel, Private Equity, etc) Once fully funded, we intend to use this capital for these purposes: - Operating/Growth Capital (Payroll, Sales & Marketing, etc)

Defiance Photography LLC is an established photo service company, formally located in Grand Lake, Colorado. Since the loss of our lease in Grand Lake we have relocated to The Wisconsin Dells area in Wisconsin. With the state of the economy being as it is, we are having a difficult time of re-establishing our business. We would dearly love to return to a brick & mortar business. We are, at present, researching areas that would be pristine as well as profitable. As we are foremost landscape photographers, we do require living in a rural area and not a city. We bring to this business a multitude of talents, including, but not limited to, business management, excellent customer service, honesty and professionalism. We are a mature couple and lend our years of life experience to everything we do with zest and competence.

We are open to any type of venture capital, whether it be a short term loan, gift, or partnership. We have past records that show numbers that pertain to the operation of this store.

We have a spread sheet containing the projected budget for 2008 (available here), and at the time of losing our lease we we're meeting these goals

We are looking for a working partner or silent investor that might also be looking for a short term or long term relationship. In a short term relationship we would prefer a one or two year agreement with an equitable return on your investment. A long term situation might include a working partner or one who has a business that wishes to expand with us. It is our belief that this current economic situation is short term, but with proper customer relations and advertising we can be immune to all but a complete economic failure. The location of the new store is open to discussion. We find we do best in tourist areas with a close metropolitan population base from which to draw.

Key Risks

Due to the softening of the economy we believe that 2011 will hold to the numbers in the financials.

  We will focus on photography as the overhead will be low, with a higher return.  At present the photo inventory is approximately $6000.00 in printed material, and the mechanical infrastructure is in place. 

The figures in the protected area represent the old store and it's operation and are variable, depending on a new store and overhead, etc...  The figures represent an outline, as to the requirements that will be feasible to the solvency of the new store.  If it appears that it won't work on paper we won't do it.

What we need

A building, modest inventory, and operating capital.
