Idea

Introduction

Re-opening one of Ibiza's much-treasured nightclub venues – drawing on our local knowledge, experience, professional strengths and skill sets, extensive international music industry contacts and connections within the entertainment, tourism, hospitality and press sectors.

Designed by Lluis Güell (the mastermind behind the Café del Mar & Es Paradís), the venue is the transformation of a basement into a spectacular large space filled with split columns, marble staircases with angels and sculptures adorning the walls and ceilings.

Alter Ibiza intends to serve up quality entertainment and beverages for the more mature, affluent clubber (25+) now representing the majority of Ibiza's fast-moving tourism sector. Where music lovers can enjoy a relaxed, stylish, intimate setting with a soundtrack from teams of proven promoters and artists – with huge, loyal followings and simply spectacular brand experience and histories.

Offering true value for money in Ibiza's 'must-visit-club' scene.

Intended impact

Ibiza is constantly in a state of redevelopment and improvement. Many areas of Ibiza are now bursting at the seams with VIP beach clubs, super clubs and new super-hotels raising the price of drinks and entry in Ibiza to the highest levels of all time.

Alter Ibiza is a disruptive brand looking to shift the island's focus back on true value for money for our demographic. Spectacular music entertainment, quality products and service – jumping away from the extreme commercialisation and extortionate overpricing across most of Ibiza's club scene.

Whilst drinks pricing will be positioned to make profit, we intend to build exceptional customer brand loyalty by bringing levels back within more rational limits. We expect that this customer loyalty will quickly create brand stability to expand in to other market sectors.

Substantial accomplishments to date

• Extensive market and location due diligence and research completed.

• Renovation/Update planned and will be undertaken by the team.

• Full 6 year forecast and sensitivity analysis completed.

• Exclusive 6 year leasehold to freehold property contracts in negotiation.

• Office/smoking area lease contract in negotiation for adjacent property.

• Licensing in place and currently undergoing annual sound level/capacity checks.

• Branding phase and marketing/merchandise concepts completed.

• Marketing and PR strategies planned.

• Grand opening plan complete subject to artist availability.

• Outstanding roster of high profile promoters/artists ready to commit.

• Sponsorship direct contacts acquired and talks underway.

• EPOS/WIFI/Sound & Light systems selected and ready to lease/purchase.

• Human resources requirements identified and team selection in process.

• Rapid market sector expansion growth planning in place.

Monetisation strategy

REVENUE MODEL

Profits largely generated from drinks revenue in core, middle and potentially winter season.

Percentage of promoter ticket/door money returns to the business.

Sponsorship revenue opportunities optimal in Ibiza.

Potential for off season hire (Corporate/Private/Pop-up/Launch Parties).

MARKET EXPANSION GROWTH.

Live online radio broadcasting with online monetisation model.

Merchandising opportunities optimal with Ibiza club brands.

Brand franchising opportunities including CD compilations.

Use of proceeds

Investment will be utilised to permanently secure the 6 year exclusive leasehold to freehold contract. Funds will be used to kick-start the business, implement initial renovations/refurbishment and systems updates, put marketing/PR plans in action and book opening night artists/performers – resulting in a summer 2016 launch with exceptional market impact and rapid brand growth into multiple market sectors.

Market

Target market

Alter Ibiza offer an alternative boutique clubbing experience, tailored to 25+ demographic. The more mature, affluent clubber (25+) now representing 70%* of Ibiza's fast-moving tourism sector.
*REF: Balearic Government Statistics.

"Over the past couple of years we have seen a dramatic increase in excess of 38% year-on-year in the number of over-40s booking packages to clubbing hotspots."
Mr Waldron – Broadway Travel.

"Younger ravers could find themselves partying alongside their parents this summer."

Daily Mail.

"The original one-nighter generation are now 45 to 50-plus... There are many people for whom clubbing was a way of life but are no longer sure where they should go."
Dave Swindells, Nightlife Editor, Time Out.

Alter Ibiza will be the only nightclub in this particular beach resort which we estimate to have over 10,000 tourist beds. Balearic news stations report that Ibiza will likely reach full hotel occupancy in August 2016. 30 of the 52+ hotels in the area are fully booked in August already.

With the opening of a huge new beach club in 2012, just a few minutes walk from our location, the area has seen an additional influx of tourists activity. Due to music licensing laws, outdoor venues must close at midnight. Alter Ibiza becomes the closest nightclub destination – not just to those staying in the area, but also to huge numbers of happy party-goers leaving this renowned beach club 7 days a week.

Ibiza is a fairly small place and whilst we expect clientele to purposefully head in our direction from any location on the island, the key to targeting optimal market penetration lies within our ethos... .

Characteristics of target market

Ibiza Airport broke all previous records in 2014, closing the year with 6,211,882 passengers, every year the record continues to be pushed with more tourists arriving in summer and winter months.

The Balearics had the highest hotel occupancy rate in August 2015 of any region of Spain. Occupancy was 92.9%, which represented an increase of 2.3% in terms of overnight stays compared with August 2014.

As of 26 February 2016, San Antonio Town Council passed an ordinance prohibiting the sale of alcohol in supermarkets and shops from Midnight to 8am throughout the municipality, further driving late night holiday makers to late night venues.

"Prices in Cala de Bou are clearly stabilised, it is assumed that the next experience will be a rise in quality and is it well positioned for investment."
Mila Gonzalez – Respected Ibiza realtor.

Marketing strategy

Our team is highly skilled in strategic marketing both in the UK and Ibiza, with a speciality and proven track record in the music/club sector. We consider ourselves to have heavy-duty brand, social, press, print, radio and digital skills. With nearly 9 years experience on the island, we know exactly which techniques are most effective within this fast-moving tourism sector.

Sara Altman (MD), has run a marketing business for the majority of her career with direct experience with the likes of Pacha Ibiza Merchandise. She is directly responsible for the brand creation of the hugely successful Ocean Beach Club and Amante (Awarded Best Beach Restaurant for 4 years running). She specialises in strategic ROI-led branding and marketing.

Steven Altman (CD), has extensive experience working as a DJ/Promoter alongside multiple promotion teams and club venues. We feel his music and industry knowledge is simply outstanding. He brings significant overall experience to the project with powerful social media skills. Steve has a huge following of house music lovers over various Facebook pages perfectly positioned for our demographic targeting with a promotable reach of over 8 million.

Steve broadcasts a weekly radio show live from Ibiza on Castle Club Radio. This online station has a global following of listeners. Steve also holds a regular show on Ibiza Live Radio. Both these shows give him the opportunity to promote events/artists at his discretion.

Thanks to Steve Altman's personal contact base in the music industry, we have some of the best promoters in their genres ready to jump on our roster. Teams of skilled marketeers that specialise in targeting music genre specific demographics on rotation every week or month to maximise impact.

We have direct, personal links into best local businesses specialising in 'tourism broadcasting' – allow us access to optimum databases to target our audience during their visit using digital technologies and print.

FUTURE COMPETITORS.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future.

This campaign for Alter Ibiza Nightclub has been approved by Seedrs Limited (trading as Republic Europe) ("Republic Europe", "us" or "we"), as of 31 May 2016 as a financial promotion. Republic Europe is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 550317. In approving this campaign, Republic Europe has concluded that the information, taken as a whole, is "fair, clear and not misleading." This means that for factual statements we have reviewed evidence of their accuracy, and that for aspirational statements we believe they are phrased appropriately in light of their speculative nature. You should note that in the case of factual statements, the evidence we review is provided by the business, and we do not audit it, which means that we may not be able to identify forged or altered evidence. You should further note that in the case of aspirational statements, the nature of the type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform is such that they are likely to have high ambitions, and we may approve statements that convey those ambitions even where we do not believe, or we do not have a view on whether it is likely, that they will be fully realised. The pre-money valuation and investment sought in the campaign are those set by the business: they are not reviewed or established by us, and the valuation is not an independent view of what the business is worth. Given the nature and type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform, it is possible that the business has very little cash remaining prior to receiving this investment, and the investment sought may be necessary for the business's on-going existence.

Republic Europe does not make investment recommendations to you. No communications from Republic Europe, through this website or any other medium, should be construed as an investment recommendation. Further, nothing on this website shall be considered an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Republic Europe does not provide legal, financial or tax advice of any kind. If you have any questions with respect to legal, financial or tax matters relevant to your interactions with Republic Europe, you should consult a professional adviser.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £260,000

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Seedrs.

Pitch type

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Learn more about pitch type on Seedrs

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Seedrs campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).
