Aquarium Store Investment
Pitch Deck

Why is now the right time for this business?

The aquarium hobby is booming, but the market is fragmented and often fails beginners. New and experienced hobbyists alike face a critical gap: a lack of trusted local retailers that provide healthy, quarantined livestock and expert, hands-on guidance for things like fish tank setup, preventing costly and frustrating mistakes.

The Market Opportunity

• High failure rate for beginners due to poor quality livestock and advice.
• Growing demand for 'aquatic artistry' and advanced aquascape design.
• Lack of one-stop-shops offering premium reef tank equipment and expert services.

What is your unique solution and competitive edge?

We are a one-stop-shop offering a curated, 'success-focused' experience. Our core value is providing guaranteed healthy quarantined fish for sale, paired with premium aquarium supplies and expert aquarium consultation services. We win by building a community through workshops and becoming the trusted local authority for both freshwater and marine aquarium enthusiasts.

Our Winning Proposition

• A rigorous quarantine process that guarantees healthy livestock.
• Personalized, expert guidance from setup to long-term aquarium maintenance.
• A community hub with events like an 'aquascaping workshop near me.'

What is the financial outlook for this business?

You're projecting losses in Year 1 (-$187k EBITDA) and Year 2 (-$137k EBITDA), which is defintely expected for a retail build-out with significant upfront CapEx. The model hits breakeven in June 2028, about 30 months in, and turns profitable in Year 3 with a $32k EBITDA. The key lever is driving store traffic and improving the visitor-to-buyer conversion rate from 6.0% to 9.0% by Year 3, which is what gets you to sustained profitability.

Key Financial Milestones

• Breakeven achieved in 30 months (June 2028).
• Year 5 EBITDA projected to exceed $1,003,000.
• Full investment payback projected within 53 months.
