Business Overview
- 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.
Products & Services Overview
Our business sells luxury shisha pipes online, through distributors, and via direct sales to resorts, hotels, restaurants, lounges, and private consumers. We will particularly target Dubai and the UAE for the opening of our flagship luxury lounge. Shisha is a $4.5 billion global market, with an average annual CAGR of 8% forecasted through next 5 years.
Assets Overview
Tangible assets include inventory (shisha and shisha pipes) worth EUR 600K.
The intangible assets owned by the business are brand, patents, prototypes, website, Instagram, supply chain, and industry mid weight. These intangibles are valued at EUR 400 thousand.
Facilities Overview
We have a registered entity in Marbella, and since there are no employees right now we do not require a fulltime facility.
Capitalization Overview
- No loans.
- No debts.
- 100% founder owned.
- There are no recurring costs at the moment. All operations bootstrapped and managed by the founder. We have deals with suppliers, and local distributors for free warehousing in China, Dubai and Milan, Italy.
