Financial Plan

Our financial success depends on reaching desired market share and maintaining superb customer retention rate. Additional rounds of investor financing must be secured in years one and two to ensure the company growth until it reaches the self-sustaining level of sales. At the moment, the company seeks seed financing to cover the initial costs.
