Introduction

SRSLY (pronounced “seriously”) is a leading healthy food company that has already served tens of thousands of people and is on a mission to help millions more.

Born from Andy's own need for easy nutritious food, SRSLY has already been part of 4.5 million meals.

With over £6 million in revenue to date*, marked by an 79% repeat order rate and 35% subscription rate, SRSLY are in prime position to enter both local and international retail markets.

Having recently secured an NHS England contract and our first US retail order, we are excited to deliver on our business plans, with the aim of becoming the global leader in our field.

Proven market fit:

• Our weight loss customers say they experience longer satiation, reducing snacking.

• Our diabetes customers tell us they can avoid sugar spikes, often reducing insulin and reintroducing foods like bread and pizza

• And with 70% of adults seeking healthy options for their food, there's endless opportunity for SRSLY to meet our customer's needs!

“We believe we can empower millions more families to regain control of their lives by offering convenient, healthy, beneficial and tasty food” Andy, Founder & CEO

Monetisation strategy

B2C: Loyal Customers

We have established B2C revenues in the UK, with a robust 79% repeat order rate and 12% conversion rate (well above industry average).

B2B: Retail & Food Service

We have a defined B2B strategy aimed at cultivating national & international partnerships with distributors, retailers, and food services. Discussions have already started with six major retailers in the US & UK, with plans to expand this to retailers in the EU.

Summary

With a concrete foundation in B2C, and an evolving B2B strategy, we aim to further our global reach and strengthen brand loyalty through focused marketing, cultivating retail partnerships, whilst sustaining quality and trust.

Use of proceeds

SRSLY's retail and international strategies have already seen traction, with a contract signed with the NHS, along with our first US retail order & interest from major UK and US distributors.

We are now raising an immediate EIS bridging round to help us deliver against our pipeline of interested retailers, ahead of a larger round planned for next year.

With the funds from this fund we aim to achieve the following:

1. Use our proven digital marketing strategies to build on our B2C traction, and cement our position as a leader in the space.

2. Cultivate retail partnerships to build on our B2B pipeline

3. Begin work on our 5 year business plan

Working with our devoted customer base, we want to continue promoting SRSLY as the trusted brand synonymous with extremely healthy food.

With over 50% of our campaign pre-registrations already coming from existing customers, we believe there is strong loyalty to support our mission to reach more people and drive down the cost through retail economies of scale.

Key Information

Founders Interests

The Founder and CEO of SRSLY Ltd also fully owns another company known as Fulfilly Ltd. However, he does not partake in the management of Fulfilly Ltd; it is independently managed by its own full-time CEO.

SRSLY constructed its own fulfillment operation, which currently processes in excess of 95,000 SRSLY B2C orders per annum. SRSLY leases excess capacity to Fulfilly and invoices it for the utilization of services to provide an additional income to SRSLY

Background:
Before 2022, SRSLY worked with smaller health brands and provided resale on their website and logistics support (third party fulfillment). Due to the organic increase in third party clients SRSLY management chose to dispose of the burden of managing other companies’ brands, but still benefit financially through the rental of SRSLY equipment and staff.
SRSLY continues to receive a revenue stream from the lease to Fulfilly but there is no burden on the SRSLY management team.

An arm’s length agreement is in place and ensures that SRSLY remains undistracted in its core objectives, while Fulfilly manages the logistical needs of the transferred clients.

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 SRSLY Low carb has been approved by Seedrs Limited (trading as Republic Europe) ("Republic Europe", "us" or "we"), as of 22 September 2023 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.

Tax Relief (SEIS)

This business is eligible for SEIS relief - providing qualifying investors with income tax relief of 50% of their investment and certain other tax reliefs. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future. Click to learn more.

Tax Relief (EIS)

This business is eligible for EIS relief - providing qualifying investors with income tax relief of 30% of their investment and certain other tax reliefs. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future. Click to learn more.

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £8,149,000

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).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

Nominee investment

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Nominee investment.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Learn more about Custodian here

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Find out more

Direct investment

This is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Nominee investment). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Seedrs. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
