Great Plains Holdings’ business strategy consists of
targeting and acquiring controlling interests in small to middle market
companies. Great Plains Holdings maintains a diverse business model through two
wholly owned subsidiaries for multiple revenue streams and for consistent hard
asset growth. These two subsidiaries are Ashland Holdings, LLC, a real estate
investment company that acquires, develops, and manages residential and
commercial properties; and Lil March, Inc., which engages in the manufacture and
sales of the Lil Marc training urinal for young boys in the United States.
At present, Ashland Holdings’ real estate portfolio consists
of the following:
• One
1,400-square-foot corporate office building
• One
800-square-foot warehouse for LiL Marc’s operations
• Two
adjacent parcels of land, one of which includes a manufactured home that is
rented out for additional income
The real estate investment company’s business plan calls for
targeting the American Southeast, South, and Midwest for acquiring more real
estate holdings. Ashland Holdings also made a foray into oil and gas leases
with its completion of a private placement investment in TexStar -Preferred
Partner Joint Venture III, LP related to a 150-acre Texas lease in Guadalupe
County, Texas. Ashland Holdings will receive income based on net revenue on the
lease. It is estimated that around 2.99 million barrels of oil are available
for extraction at this lease. Recent oil spot price quotes put the extractable
oil reserves at a value of over $300 million. There are about fourteen wells
actively producing on the lease at present.
For LiL Marc, Great Plains Holdings has made the LiL Marc
training urinal available for purchase through LiLMarc.com as well as through
select retail channels. Great Plains Holdings’ management team has rolled out
an aggressive marketing plan as for the LiL Marc training urinal, and is
building a client list of retailers with brick and mortar stores and other
consumer outlets to participate in the broader retail market.
For acquisition targets, Great Plains Holdings looks for
investment opportunities primarily within the manufacturing, distribution,
consumer products, and real estate spaces. Ideal acquisition targets meet
narrowly-tailored criteria, including: having an experienced management team in
place; having significant upside growth potential; having low risk for becoming
obsolete in their technologies or products; and others factors.
Currently, Great Plains Holdings is looking to acquire
private and profitable businesses owned by baby boomers looking to retire.
According to Pew Research, since January 2011 roughly 10,000 additional baby
boomers reach the threshold of retirement age on a daily basis. That is a trend
set to persist until around 2030. A 2007 business owner survey conducted by the
U.S. Census Bureau also provides further illumination. The survey found that in
2007, 36.5% of surveyed business owners were 55 years of age or older and 29.6%
of surveyed business owners were between 45 and 54 years of age. Great Plains
Holdings will expand its portfolio by offering a viable business exit strategy
option for these business owners as they prepare themselves for their next
stage of life.
