MARKETING SLOGAN – “Natural Alternatives To Toxic Chemicals In Agribusiness.”
BUSINESS – Company operates in the rapidly growing bio-chemical sector of the multi-billion dollar agri-chemical industry. USBO was established to develop, manufacture, market, and distribute biological based (bio-degradable, non-carcinogenic, non-toxic) bio-chemical fertilizer, bio-fungicide and bio-insecticide products for both soil and foliage applications. The Company has conducted extensive research and development (the founders have worked for over 15 years in this field) on product formulation and testing.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY – No national brand name currently exists in the bio-chemical fertilizer and related markets. Dominant companies in the fertilizer industry cannot risk damaging existing business by entering the “green” bio-chemical market, since this would highlight the fact that their existing products may be harmful, toxic or carcinogenic.
STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN SEGMENTS – Agricultural Crops – commercial farms, greenhouses, etc. Consumer Lawn & Garden – residential homeowners. Professional Lawn Care – landscapers, golf courses, parks, sports playing fields, etc. Trucking Distribution – distribution of Company products and outsourced trucking services.
CURRENT OPERATIONS – Agricultural Crops Segment commenced small scale production in 2005 but has not yet achieved economies of scale or operating profits. Trucking Distribution Segment also began operations in 2005 and is currently cash flow positive and profitable. The Company is seeking to negotiate a licensing agreement with a leading national brand name consumer lawn and garden care products firm (USBO would license its product formulations and possibly manufacture and distribute the products, while the partner would contribute its leading brand name and marketing capabilities). Professional Lawn Care Segment will be last to launch.
