The Opportunity: The U.S. hotel industry is in a stage of deconsolidation, with hotels and resorts across the country looking to outsource the cleaning of dirty towels and sheets due to the high costs of labor, equipment, and utilities that hotels pay relative to industrial users; Few laundry operators specialize in serving hotels, and even fewer utilize modern equipment and technology or have the proper service mentality to satisfy hotels and hotel guests; The commercial laundry business is very capital-intensive, and most laundry companies don t have the financial resources necessary to operate at maximum effectiveness; Water usage and water rights are expected to become significantly more prohibitive in many markets (primarily in the western United States), which will provide a valuable long-term competitive protection; Coast to Coast Linens is an investment partnership created to build a portfolio of commercial laundries across the United States (in partnership with high-quality management companies wherever possible) in order to serve major hotels and resorts.
Business Plan Coast to Coast intends to develop 20-25 laundries between 2014 and 2020 Each laundry will cost $2.0M to $3.0M to build and will be located in markets with large numbers of first-class hotels and resorts Coast to Coast will invest between 20% and 50% of required equity and will seek equity partners (EB-5 and conventional) to co-invest on each project Coast to Coast will either manage the properties or will partner with a local management company (if available) Laundries are an excellent Direct EB-5 investment option because they are very labor-intensive and are typically located in Targeted Employment Areas each laundry will employ between 30 and 70 full-time workers
Partnership Terms EB-5 Investors join LLC that directly owns the property and are appointed to the Board of Directors; Funds not invested until I-526 is approved (held in escrow) and business is open; EB-5 Investors are paid a 4% Preferred Return, and their Investment matures and is repaid 6 months after approval of the I-829 petition; Each EB-5 Investor invests and matures separately not contingent upon what happens with other investors If EB-5 Investors are not repaid within 6 months of I-829 approval OR if the project doesn t create at least 10 direct jobs per investor, the EB-5 Members take full control over the company and can hire more employees, liquidate the company, etc; EB-5 Investors have the option to convert their investment into pro-rata common equity in the venture.
