Newly Established Shisha Cafe Investment Opportunity in Marbella, Spain

- Business that has designed and elevated shisha to a world class design experience.
- The brand is strategically positioned to become a lifestyle brand and gain the stage in the shisha industry and beyond. Its storytelling and aspirational Italian luxury references and design have strong traction, especially in Dubai and the Gulf area.
- The company strategy is to operate in 3 main business lines:
- Hookah - design, manufacturing & distribution of luxury shisha pipes;
- Experience - flagship lounge & Italian fusion cuisine, bringing the brand experience to life & source of content marketing.
- Flavors - production and distribution of unique tobacco blends inspired by Italian flavors and mixology.
The 3 lines are mutually supportive and together we forecasted a turnover of over EUR 30M in the next 5 years.
The products and brand have been designed and engineered since January last year.
- Our supply chain is ready to start volume manufacturing and we have interest from distributors and customers all over the world, who are waiting for samples to evaluate and close the orders.
- We are kickstarting the Experience biz line with our luxury shisha catering in Marbella, together with private chefs, to reach out to a wealthy target of connoisseurs. A similar service is in the talk with our distributor in Dubai.
- We launched in World Shisha Dubai in February this year, welcomed by industry experts and influencers.
We have grown our audience on Instagram and received outstanding feedback on the quality of our design.
- We expect running costs for the first year, including distribution, sales and marketing to be at a minimum EUR 100-120K per year (2 global fairs participation, hiring a mid weight sales rep or agency, travel and marketing cost). Excluding costs for manufacturing and restaurant/lounge acquisition and running costs.
- Shisha is a $4.5 billion global market, with an average annual CAGR of 8% forecasted through next 5 years.
- We foresee to grow the revenue to EUR 6-7M in 3 years.
- We have customers in the funnel for EUR 70K and we need to manufacture and ship test-units to secure the deals.
- The business owner is currently in Spain where the business is already registered and operating, and planning to open an outlet in Dubai.
- We manufacture high-quality premium products, which justifies the higher pricing. Additionally, we offer catering services, enabling us to achieve strong monthly sales despite having a relatively small team.
