Introduction

We’re on a mission to make the healthiest snacks on the planet! But we don’t just care about your health, because every snack we make tastes good, does you good and doesn’t mess up the planet.

Consumers increasingly want to ditch biscuits and chocolate and switch to a healthier snack. But so-called healthy snacks are often crammed full of sugar, unhealthy fats & some taste like cardboard!

Perkier bars are leading-edge, nutritionist approved and selling in some of the fastest growing market segments. Our range has:

- 60% Less Sugar*

- 100% More Fibre*

- Vitamins for immune support

- Billions of probiotics for a happy healthy gut

- Nutritious energy to avoid the afternoon slumps

- Plus, they’re All Natural. Gluten free. Vegan. Palm Oil Free

Our founders quit their jobs in the food industry to disrupt the snacking market. The global snack bar market is worth $22bn and growing fast. Join us and make the world a perkier place.

*Based on company research.

Substantial accomplishments to date

· 17 million bars sold. 1 Perkier bar sold every 10 seconds

Exponential Growth on Amazon: Perkier launched on Amazon in May 2020 and revenues have grown exponentially.

87% of consumers agree Perkier bars are tasty and achieve a 4.7 star rating on Amazon

Being 100% plant-based, Palm Oil Free and using only recyclable packaging, we believe we are way ahead of our competitors on sustainability:

Monetisation strategy

Perkier operates across 4 key channels: Retail, Online, Foodservice and Export.

We have exciting plans and intend to accelerate our growth through the following:

1. Grow brand awareness and increase sales with current customers: Amazon, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and ASDA plus our Foodservice partners Compass, Brakes and Bidfood

2. Acquire new customers: We are in discussions with major supermarkets, high street and convenience chains to increase our distribution

3. Leverage our Strategic partnerships for select export markets including EU, North America, UAE and Australia

Use of proceeds

We will invest the funds in 3 key areas to accelerate our growth

(1) Expand Our Team: All our success to date has been with a team of 4!
We will recruit a Sales Manager and Sales Exec to drive even stronger growth on Amazon and secure new distribution

(2) Increase Digital Marketing: Our digital campaigns are proven to be effective in building awareness and sales and securing loyal customers across Amazon and Retail; with more investment we intend to deliver higher sales.

(3) Innovation: We will continue to Innovate and bring outstanding products to market meeting the most exciting consumer trends.

This is your chance to invest, join us today! And let’s make the world a perkier place!

N.B. Perkier being the UK's fastest growing snack bar is based on Neilsen June 2021 data.

Pitch type

There are 5 types of investment pitch available on Seedrs.

  • Equity
  • Convertible
  • Fund
  • Cohort
  • Secondary

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Seedrs nominee

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Seedrs nominee.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale.
