2. Vision
With the ever increasing speed
of globalization and proliferation
of people living outside their
country of birth, physical
proximity to the things and
people they love is impossible.
We will bring customers
something familiar from home to
help deliver the emotional
proximity they crave.

18. Why Is This A Good Investment?
With the increasing speed of Globalisation comes the proliferation of migrant workers. This poses an
exciting, untapped and growing marketplace for ‘Home Sweet Home’ globally.
Its a unique idea. Where Amazon & Shopwiki have started offering some products from other
countries, it is not their key business focus. We have a scalable and differentiated offer - aggregating
smaller niche sites and engaging large brands looking to break into new markets.
Its the kind of ‘find’ that you’d instantly tell your ‘ex-pat’ friends about. It has great talkability, social
currency and feel good factor as it brings diaspora the things the love from home - #tasteofhome
#homecomforts
Not only are revenue projections (which are conservative) promising for the pilot but as we expand
into new markets, new countries and new customers - the data we collect for each market, which
comprise of very specific audiences, is also very valuable.
With an initial set-up cost of £274,300 for year 1 and profit (ebitda) estimated at £514,450 and solid
business case to grow profit 10 fold to circa £5.8m by year 4 - we’re confident of the success of Home
Sweet Home.
