Overview
LD Holdings, Inc., (Symbol LDHL), has adopted a business model that seeks to
capitalize on the massive transfer of generational assets as the “Baby-Boomer”
generation transitions from the ownership of small businesses into retirement.
The Baby-Boomer generation is represented by individuals born between 1946
(currently 64) and 1964 (currently 46). There are currently about 80 million
Boomers in this age group.
Over the next 20 years as these Baby-Boomers are retiring, there are going to be
businesses worth trillions of dollars that need to be sold by this Boomer
generation. Baby-Boomers make up at least 25% of the population in every state
except Utah.
Historically, the sellers typically wanted to provide minimal or no financing to
the buyer. These types of transactions were too large for most individuals to
finance, too risky for banks based upon the company’s individual merits (as
opposed to the buyer’s personal balance sheet) and too small to interest most
institutional investors (hedge funds and private equity groups) to consider. The
lack of liquidity made it difficult to raise funds privately from anyone but
relatives.
The company seeks to take a seemingly negative funding situation and turn it
into a positive one. Many of these Baby Boomer businesses being sold, whether
the sellers want to or not, will be forced to provide a major portion, or all,
of the financing in order to sell their businesses or will be forced to sell
them below their true market value in order to get the business sold.
The company plans to focus its efforts on becoming a “known buyer” of small
companies that meet its acquisition criteria, which it intends to widely
distribute to business sellers directly and to others on its websites. The
5-Year Plan is to accumulate at least 45 of these small companies and to slowly
meld them into cohesive business units whenever possible. Using $10 million of
revenues as an average, this will result in consolidated total revenues of $450
Million by the end of 2015.
The company’s objective, through aggressive use of the Internet, is to put an
outside investor base in place that shares the company’s vision and objectives
while the search for acquisitions is being conducted. The company will stress on
its affiliated websites and in its investor information that it is looking for
long-term investors who are willing to hold their positions for a year or more.
In our first full year of operations (2011) the company plans to acquire at
least 3 companies with $25 million sales and EBITDA of $2.0 million. At 8 X
EBITDA this would place a market capitalization of $16 million on the company.
In order to accomplish its objectives, and as explained in this Business Plan,
the company has developed a 5-Step Process.
Once the company has its investor base in place, the company intends to quicken
its acquisition pace as shown in the table below::
| Year | New Acquisitions | Total Acquisitions |
| 2011 | 3 | 3 |
| 2012 | 6 | 9 |
| 2013 | 9 | 18 |
| 2014 | 12 | 30 |
| 2015 | 15 | 45 |
