Operating Plan
The company will grow organically with the 3 principle founders responsible for the day to day running of the products and services using their field expertise and their versatility in all areas.
Outsourcing of requirements will be utilised alongside the hiring of the correct personnel as and when the business demands. The fund-raising arm of the business will be largely automated but will be governed and moderated manually.
With such a lean structure of executives initially, communication will be more efficient, and the inclusion of an advisory board of key contacts will ensure any growth is balanced by the hiring of personnel.
Product & Services
Stronger buying power and more efficient administration for grass roots sports clubs with aligned requirements to benefit from.
White label gambling platform offering centrally administrated fundraising solution.
Progression to reduced costs for other aligned requirements using innovative solutions in selected industries - eg; segregated cell insurance
Although the business will benefit from a runway of funds to meet expenditure, organised administration will enable costs to be met through confirmed sales orders prior to payment of suppliers.
Outsourced distribution channels will be integrated. Again, sales orders will be received prior to payment of distribution invoices.
The Golazzo fundraising platform operates on a commission led basis received immediately from the top line, leading to that side of the business becoming cash generating at outset.
Client benefits include:
Reduced expenditure
Reduced time resource of volunteers
White label popular fundraising platform
In addition, Golazzo will eventually operate with a percentage of profits utilised in a philanthropic manner to aid clubs and sports organisations with donations and sports sponsorship.
Financial Analysis
The revenue model of the business is separated for the two strands. The Golazzo ‘buying club’ revenue model is based on a membership fee coupled with a percentage commission charged per order. The Golazzo Fundraising Platform will charge a monthly usage fee alongside an immediate commission from total money staked.
Financial projections can be viewed in a separate document.
We believe our assumptions to be conservative given the offering and the relative ease of route to market.
The founders are all self sufficient at present, and intend to take their compensation via dividends from available profits.
Funding to date has been provided by one of the founders. All three founders and the two advisors have promised to meet the investment required to build the business and provide it with a runway of funds for two years, despite the cashflow projections indicating profitability within a short time frame.
