Exclusive Distributor For Australian Designer Seeks Start Up Capital

Opportunity Summary

I am an Australian, living in Dubai, UAE, who has signed Exclusive Distribution & Marketing  Rights for two Australian Companies to wholesale & retail their lingerie products to the Middle East & Regional areas. 

Both companies have operated successfully, using wholesale sales and Party Plan ( In Home Personal Shopping Service ) for the last 14 years, and through my personal association of 10 years & management skills, they have approached me to expand their labels to the Middle East.

With the undergarment industry turning over 12 Billion USD in 2007 to 2008, wouldn't you  want to tap in to this market?

Also another recent local & international report at the end of April 2009, clearly stated that the Middle East has had a 2% increase in the demand for designer and high class product, bucking the current worldwide economic trend.

Currently, the labels available in the Middle East are of poor quality, and most Middle East local population often travel outside their country to purchase in the UK, Europe or USA to purchase their undergarments.

My company will be offering an IN HOME PERSONAL SHOPPING SERVICE, whereas our clients have the opportunity to indulge in selecting my Exclusive Australian Designed Lingerie Labels & have a correct fitting in the comfort of their home, or from personalized online ordering.   The knowledge that they are getting a product exclusive to their social network, not like the mass produced and poor quality range available in the current Middle East Retail Outlets, will only expand the business, as already achieved successfully by the two companies in Australia.

Lingerie is a great business in the rag trade, as it is not seasonal.  Everyone needs their underwear all year round!

This type of service will be attractive in three ways:

1.  Eliminates the large overheads of a retail store & ongoing rent & upgrade/fitouts.

2.  Suits the nature of the Arab culture, where most women eat together, socialize as a family group at home, and like to dress up for their husbands.

3.  Female staff are put through a 3 day training programme and are paid on a generous commission only basis.

With more recent reports coming out of Saudi Arabia, with the complaint from women experiencing Male Shopkeepers when selecting their undergarments & no service for fitting, and no opportunity to make incomes, could you not see where this business could go?

Company Logo & Name - done, Website - done (needs upgrading), Catalogue - done, Associated Administrative forms for printing - done, Stock samples - done & available.

All the hard work is done.  Capital start up is all that is needed.

Your response is welcome.
