Executive Summary: Data is The New Oil

GAUK Ai represents a brand new,  automated evolution of the GAUK platform, a provider of high-quality market data since 1999. Originating as a simple PDF directory of UK auction houses, it evolved into an online platform encompassing a global catalogue of auctioned items countrywide.

The manual uploading of data became unsustainable, prompting the development of a new platform, self-funded to a 90% completion level, positioning it for market entry. We are now at the stage of inviting initial investors to join us as we re-enter our familiar domain.

In its previous incarnation, GAUK generated £3 million in revenue with a 90% net profit, achieved through a strategic combination of effective SEO, affiliates, and email marketing.

GAUK is a new SAAS, marketplace platform driven by our industry disrupting aggregation engine (GAUK Ai). Meticulously collecting datasets from auctions, classifieds, and dealers worldwide. Our innovative mobile phone scanning app empowers users to explore, evaluate, find parts and value classic cars, vehicles, and antiques like never before. With a simple scan, users gain instant access to extensive datasets, exploring a wealth of information at their fingertips.

Our First Funding Round: Fueling the Next Phase of Growth and Expansion

Introduction:

As we embark on the next phase of our journey, we are thrilled to announce our Series A funding round.

With over 20 years of success in the market, Government Auctions UK (now GAUK®, a registered trademark) has firmly established itself as a leader in the auction intelligence sector. Our dedication to innovation and customer-centricity has driven a loyal subscriber base and strong market demand. Now, we are seeking investment to capitalize on our foundation of success and propel GAUK into a new era of growth and expansion.

The Problem:

Over the years, GAUK has tackled the issue of inefficiency and fragmentation in marketplace information across various sectors, with current focus on the motor industry.

This funding round marks an exciting milestone for GAUK. Having successfully navigated through our early stages and proven our market viability, we are now ready to accelerate our growth and seize new opportunities.

    The Money

    Raising: £500,000

    

Financial Snapshot:

    Total Revenue £3M: Through the previous platform
    Combination of paid subscriptions and affiliate sales via email marketing.

    Investment £1M: The business has been self-funded through bootstrapping and personal investments, demonstrating our commitment and confidence in the venture.

    Debt £0: Zero outstanding debts, showcasing a strong financial position.

    Equity £0: There is currently no external equity. GAUK is currently run through our family trust. A new company will be formed.

    Financial Projections

    GAUK’s revenue model has grown organically over many years in response to market observations and feedback. It is uniquely positioned, defying the traditional approach that often leads to failure. Conventional methods tend to target businesses within a finite pool, limiting their potential earnings. Additionally, new and even existing platforms often struggle to gain traction, dedicating significant resources to marketing before businesses engage. Yet, these efforts result in limited inventory listings, diminishing visitor attraction.

    In contrast, GAUK supports the business by listing their entire inventory. All they have to do is maintain their own site, which they already do. GAUK employs a pay-to-search strategy that minimizes risks. Our platform benefits from aggregation, ensuring comprehensive inventory regardless of visitor numbers. And by offering invaluable market intelligence and user tools search, save, compare, alerts etc we have a robust revenue stream that is even more relevant today. This approach is bolstered by a vast user base seeking information, providing a strong foundation for sustained growth.

    Revenue Forecast:

    Despite the promising opportunities and diverse revenue streams outlined in this pitch, we have opted for a deliberately calculated revenue forecast, considering a straightforward SAAS model.

    Top of Funnel: We project top of funnel free registrations to reach 15%, with targeted marketing and enticing value-added upgrade options. These registrations have proven to be extremely valuable and responsive to affiliate promotions via email. (Not factored into revenue at this stage)

    Premium Users: With an upgraded conversion rate of 2%, we factor in a higher cancellation rate of 25% and set a weekly subscription fee of £5.00.

    By employing this combination, we envision a steady and sustained revenue growth from our expanding subscriber base. This carefully crafted approach ensures that our revenue projections are realistic and align with the expected growth of our platform.

    The Golden Milestone: 1,000 Premuim Subscribers

    At 1,000 paid subscribers, we reach a significant milestone, achieving sustainability, profitability, and setting a clear roadmap to attain all key performance indicators (KPIs). To reach this target, we are working with a 2% conversion rate and factoring in a 25% cancellation rate.

    Based on these metrics, GAUK would need to drive approximately 66,667 visitors to acquire 1,000 subscribers.

    Time Period Subscribers Monthly Revenue Monthly Costs
    3 Months 1,000 £20,000 £16,550

    Our robust revenue forecast indicates significant growth potential based on a 2% conversion rate and 50,000 monthly visits growing at 20% per month.

    Cashflow:

    To support our growth and expansion efforts, we have allocated resources to various areas, including marketing, technology infrastructure, staffing, and operational expenses. These expenses are carefully managed to ensure efficiency and maximize profitability.

    Gross Margin:

    Based on over 20 years experience with a subscription-based digital business model, we expect a healthy gross margin due to the low marginal cost of delivering digital services. This allows us to generate substantial revenue while maintaining a favorable cost structure.

    Year Subscribers Gross Profit (GP)
    1 11,000 85.38%
    2 32,000 91.01%
    3 57,000 88.89%

    Revenue Milestones:

    Our financial projections are based on our in-the-trenches experience and driving a relatively small amount of traffic.

    Year Subscribers Visitors/Month Revenue (£)
    1 11,000 61,000 £746,750
    2 32,000 116,000 £4,805,200
    3 57,000 140,000 £9,814,500

    Based on GAUK’s unique and extensive experience, we have set realistic goals for subscriber acquisition, aiming to drive 3,800,000 visitors over three years resulting in 57,000 subscribers.

    This is entirely plausible and achievable as Government Auctions UK experienced 100k visitors a month at a 3% conversion rate. Our marketing and sales strategies are designed to attract and retain a large user base, and we have implemented measures to optimize customer acquisition and minimize churn.

    Additionally, we have identified key milestones in our expansion plans, such as enhancing our technology infrastructure, expanding our coverage of multiple verticals worldwide, and forging strategic partnerships.

    Setting a Budget

    Establishing a realistic budget is a crucial step when purchasing a repossessed car. It’s essential to consider not only the purchase price but also additional costs that come with owning a vehicle. Here’s a breakdown of factors to consider when setting your budget:

    1. Purchase Price:
      • Research Market Value: Conduct thorough research to determine the market value of the type of repossessed car you’re interested in. Compare prices from different sources such as auctions, dealerships, and online platforms to get an idea of the average price range.
    2. Additional Costs:
      • Registration Fees: Check your local DMV or relevant authorities to determine the registration fees associated with owning a repossessed car. These fees may vary depending on your location and the specific vehicle.
      • Taxes: Consider any applicable sales taxes or transfer taxes that need to be paid upon purchasing the repossessed car. Check with your local tax authority for the specific rates and requirements.
      • Insurance: Contact insurance providers to get quotes for insuring the repossessed car. Insurance premiums can vary depending on factors such as the car’s make, model, age, and your driving history.
      • Potential Repairs: Repossessed cars may require repairs or maintenance due to their previous ownership. Consider budgeting for potential repairs, especially if the vehicle’s condition is unknown or if it has been sitting for an extended period.
    3. Financing Options:
      • If you plan to finance the purchase, consider the monthly loan payments and interest rates. Shop around for competitive financing options, comparing rates from different lenders or credit unions.
    4. Contingency Fund:
      • It’s wise to set aside a contingency fund for unexpected expenses that may arise after purchasing the repossessed car. This can help cover unforeseen repairs, maintenance, or any immediate issues that need attention.
    5. Affordability and Affordability:
      • Evaluate your financial situation and determine how much you can comfortably afford. Consider your income, monthly expenses, and any other financial obligations you have. Avoid stretching your budget too thin, as it can lead to financial strain.

    Inspecting the Vehicle

    Prior to finalizing your purchase of a repossessed car, conducting a thorough inspection is essential. By carefully examining the vehicle and seeking professional advice, you can make an informed decision and avoid potential issues. Here are the steps to follow when inspecting a repossessed car:

    1. Visual Inspection:
      • Examine the exterior of the car for any signs of damage, such as dents, scratches, rust, or mismatched paint. Look closely at the body panels, doors, windows, and roof.
      • Check the interior for signs of wear and tear, including the condition of the seats, dashboard, steering wheel, and flooring. Ensure that all features and accessories, such as lights, air conditioning, and infotainment systems, are in proper working order.
    2. Mechanical Inspection:
      • Perform a test drive to assess the car’s performance. Pay attention to how the engine starts, accelerates, and idles. Test the brakes, suspension, and steering for any abnormalities or unusual noises.
      • Check all fluid levels, including oil, coolant, transmission fluid, and brake fluid. Look for any leaks or unusual smells.
      • Inspect the tires for proper tread depth and even wear. Uneven wear patterns may indicate alignment or suspension issues.
      • Verify that all necessary documents, such as the vehicle’s title, maintenance records, and service history, are available and match the car’s details.
    3. Professional Mechanic’s Opinion:
      • Consider taking the repossessed car to a trusted mechanic for a comprehensive inspection. A professional mechanic can identify any underlying mechanical issues that may not be apparent during a visual inspection or test drive. They can also provide an estimate of potential repair costs.
    4. Vehicle History Report:
      • Obtain a vehicle history report, if available, to learn more about the car’s past. The report may include information about previous accidents, maintenance records, ownership history, and any reported damages.

    By thoroughly inspecting the repossessed car and seeking a professional mechanic’s opinion, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of its condition. This step is crucial in making an informed decision and avoiding potential pitfalls. If significant issues are identified during the inspection, you can reassess your decision or negotiate repairs or a lower purchase price.

    Participating in Auctions

    If you’re considering buying repossessed cars through auctions, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with the auction process to ensure a smooth and successful experience. Here are the key steps to follow:

    1. Research Auctions:
      • Identify reputable auction houses or online platforms that specialize in repossessed car auctions. Look for well-established and trusted sources that have a track record of conducting fair and transparent auctions.
      • Check the auction schedules and locations to plan your participation accordingly. Some auctions may take place in person, while others may be conducted online.
    2. Understand Bidding Rules:
      • Review the auction’s bidding rules and procedures. Familiarize yourself with the registration requirements, bidding increments, and any specific rules set by the auction house.
      • Determine if there are any pre-qualification requirements, such as providing a deposit or proof of funds, before participating in the auction.
    3. Thoroughly Research Available Vehicles:
