For our company’s B2B target market we use the B2B recurring revenue model because is a business model where the revenue is predictable, stable, and likely to continue in the future.
For our B2C target market, CARIAL uses the transactional revenue model. For our B2C target market, our company uses also the B2B2C business model as a fusion of the B2B and B2C models that overcomes one of the biggest challenges of this market segment – accessing a wide range of consumers. The B2B2C business model relies on a close partnership between our company, our partners from the B2B segment, and the final consumers from the B2C segment, and is designed to slowly build a dedicated consumer base for our company over time.
Money will be spent on
The company is seeking first-round financing for the purpose of acquiring outsourcing, starting inventory of raw materials, purchasing land, building construction, utility hook-up, and site improvement, machinery and equipment, working capital, legal and accounting costs, and miscellaneous start-up expenses. Additionally, the company will seek second-round financing for second-year Phase II operations. Projected revenues will double during the 2021 to 2024 period.
Factor 1- Crisis - The worst scenario for many businesses is the fear of the next lockdown as a crisis factor for failing of their business. Although the chances for the global lockdown are low, there is a possibility that different countries may confront a periodical lockdown due to the higher impact of COVID19 on their territory. That is why for the Phase I – the development phase, our company requires investment for outsourcing. Working with partners to outsource the development of different parts or the manufacturing of our products can bypass the impact of these factors to its success.
Factor 2 - New technologies – The disinfecting robot technology – The stringent government regulations in many regions represent a major factor in increasing the development and use of disinfectant robots. This new technology does not pose a threat to our company although there is a direct correlation to reducing infection risk for people because it’s costly and not available to everyone, which are the two major competitive advantages of our product.
