 Property
 We have the opportunity to purchase our largest processing facility in Croydon, Surrey (24,000 sq ft) and
 take advantage of a very cheap property deal we built into our lease. This will yield a truly high return for the
 business and also provide us with cheaper rent for the foreseeable future.

 Once complete it will also bolster the company’s assets – which will, in turn, enable us to also obtain much
 better credit terms with our suppliers.

 Financial Review – To successfully complete on the deal. Budget required - £340,000.



 Marketplaces, Websites & Customer Relationship
 Management Software
 We need to finish intergrating with all the online marketplaces (50+) while also finish building our own
 websites and our own customer relationship management software (CRM).

 We have already achieved most of our goals. All that is left to do is finish building our own market leading
 websites, and finish our CRM software so we can communicate efficiently with our customers (currently over
 200,000). Here are some of the online markets we currently work with (currently 28 in total):




Financial Review – To successfully set up and operate on all online marketplaces and build our websites and
CRM software. Budget required - £150,000.
New Books Supply Chain
We want to integrate the world’s new book supply chain into our custom built price
comparison technology. To achieve this we will need to integrate with 100s of suppliers.

Once complete we will have one of the world’s most comprehensive and competitively priced
book databases. To simplify this vision:

1.     Every day each supplier sends us files of the books available for sale and their prices
2.     We then review every single supplier and list the cheapest title up for sale

Financial Review - Each supplier will cost between £3,000 - £5,000 to completely setup.
Budget required £360,000.
