Hello everyone. I apologize if my writing skills are not the best & non-understandable. I know it could be alot better. Please bear with me. Okay so I was thinking a couple of days ago. What is holding me back from providing a service to a certain market right across the border down south.In which it would provide civilian armored vehicles to the middle class and upper high class of the Hispanic market. I know alot of you have been following the news or pick up a newspaper once in a while.To see that the violence across the border is well "violent"! The cause mainly on the news is due to the drug trafficking organizations trying to dominate by force areas deemed theirs.Also another factor is due to the large gap in wealthy and poor people.So this creates an environment where unfortunately innocent people get killed for there valuables. One country that has taken the armored vehicle business by storm is Brazil.There quality in armoring vehicles,also pricing, is so good that they are making them affordable to purchase by civilians.When only the privilege to own an armored vehicle was to the wealthy.They are also great producers of armored components for vehicles that ship to many countries.There standards are high, if the Brazilian Army does not approve of it.It does not enter the market. There biggest fierce competitor in this market is Italy.But this is where I am getting at.The biggest armored company here in the US Centigon Ogara brings in over $1.5 billion globally in armored vehicles.Thats not including all other companies in the same business that bring in more than $100 million in sales. Yeah I know maybe after deductions of costs and etc this amoutn would be reduced dramatically.Yet the cash revenues are extremely high for a much needed service around the world.But all I am talking about is focusing on a small segment of that market.That would be Mexico & Latin America. Labor in Mexico is cheap,plenty of intelligent fabricators,welders and body shop specialists.Not just these type of specialists but also vehicle armor specialists. You could source the components from Brazilian manufacturer's at such a discount rate that costs will be very low to always turn a profit.Charge potential customers US Currency. No pesos allowed.Set up an LLC here in the US in charge of sales and etc.This should be right across the border just in case we would need to see how operations are going across the border.There is plenty more to this.All I am saying is the world is getting more violent and it sucks to say this but you can profit of this.I know that I had mentioned the Latino Market being a huge business/cash potential.One thing I did not do was reveal a very specific Latino Market. This is what I would call my niche.Hispanic Celebrities is the niche.This I feel would be very good PR Marketing for this type of business. In Mexico celebrities are always targeted and there safety is always looked out for. But sometimes things happen where there children are kidnapped and killed. Or they themselves are killed.Just google for these such Hispanic Singers that have met some very horrific deaths ( remember these are just examples).Here are their names Valentin "El Gallo Elizalde"-Sergio Vega "El Chaka"-Sergio Gomez:Grammy nominated singer- and etc. This is the eighth star of the Grupero genre of Latin music to have been murdered in recent years.Yet no one has does anything to fill this niche in providing these vehicles to them. I cannot say that alot of these folks would of been saved if being in an armored vehicle.But it could of saved some of them. That is what counts.To put people and principles first and then profit from it.Well I know I am not the best writer.I hope that you at least understood what I meant.Hopefully,somebody in the armored business can chime in and give me some pointers on how to get this moving forward.:thankyousign:
