Company Description

iDiva is ready to compete for the large demographic of full-figured women who want ready-to-wear clothing and accessories that are stylish, affordable, and truly divalicious. Our business plan is simple - we will build our local retail business slowly while our brand grows organically through ecommerce and social media. The initial investment will fund the opening of our first store in the Central Valley in California, where we live and work. We also have a vibrant online business which has already begun attracting customers. The funds raised will be used to secure a location (preferably in a strip mall), advertising, and purchasing of inventory, as well as working capital. With 68% of American women wearing a size 14 or above, we are targeting a niche market that has sold more than 22 billion dollars worth of ‘curvy’ clothing and accessories in just one year.

Key Deal Facts

Investing in a niche market in our new customer centric marketplace makes a lot of sense, especially with a market that is growing at almost 4.1% annually according to MarketResearch.com. Market sales are expected to reach just under $26 billion by 2020 (LaRosa, February 2018).
Whether the economy is in a recession or thriving, women always care about their appearance and look.
iDiva solves the “pain” that so many full figured women experience at not having trendy and stylish clothing and accessories available both online and in a local store.
We are offering investors the opportunity to make every woman feel like a Diva.

Use of Proceeds

If the maximum is raised the money will be used to secure a leasing space which is estimated to be around $30,000 for the year upon talking to our potential landlord. In the event we do not land the strip mall location, we have met with a few other realtors that understand our vision and would be delighted to have us lease as well. $15,000 would be used to purchase inventory and equipment such as clothing racks, hangers, and jewelry displays. $1500 will be allocated toward the upkeep of the website as well as other small advertising and marketing projects. $1000 would be allocated toward the research and development of the fabrics used in the plus sized industry. We would like to retain $33,080 for working capital. As stated before we will incur irregular use of proceeds that may include but are not limited to the following over $10,000; salary made to one's self. Nephateri & Funzell both have full-time jobs but will be spending approximately 30+ hours each to make this venture launch successfully. Allocating $20,000 to their salary with a breakdown of $10,000 each is how the funds shall be distributed. The company projects to start turning a profit during the 6th month of operation
