Flipping Big Dreams into Big Deadly
Big Dreams has been operating from Naarm/Melbourne Victoria, Australia for over 18 years now, and the owner has decided to move on to concentrate on other ventures.
This is where Big Deadly Dreams (BDD) comes in.
The goal is to crowd-fund the acquisition of Big Dreams within the remaining months of the campaign, and to:
1/ transfer ownership to The Deadly Culture Collective (DCC) and
2/ re-transfer ownership, control and fully self-determined operations to a relevant First Peoples person, business, organisation or collective,
Help us make this dream come true, and feel free to reach out with any queries via our links or [email protected]
Nga mihi! (with thanks!)
James Brown & The Deadly Culture Collective
Budget Overview
The asking price for the Big Dreams business on High Street, Northcote includes stock handover and continuation of key brands, long-term lease of the business premises, staff training and onboarding, and all other aspects of acquisition of a small business.
The owner is happy to assist The Deadly Culture Collective (DCC) and Big Deadly Dreams (BDD) with this along the journey, as for many it will be their first or earliest involvement with a First Peoples organisation or operation.
$0-$50k will enable initial purchase yarns to commence with gusto.
$50k-$150k will enable law and lore focussed yarns to begin aligned with the short and long term vision for DCC & BDD.
$150k-$350k will enable the acquisition of the business without the current stock in store/available.
$350k-$400k+ will enable full acquisition of the business, current stock, branding (if needed) and other relevant pieces of the DCC/BDD process.
No Reward
$50-$100 will gain you an item from the store along with a handwritten thank you note (excl. delivery costs). Pick-ups welcome!
