Imagine an investment that combines the vibrant energy of a sports academy, the heart of a community hub, and the streamlined efficiency of a scalable franchise model—all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Bohol Island, Philippines. This is not a hypothetical scenario; it is the foundation of the Bohol Coconuts Baseball & Softball Club, a pioneering social enterprise poised to transform youth sports and community development.
Today, we are inviting eight visionary investors to join us in this groundbreaking venture for a US$9,000 investment in exchange for a 5% equity share, as we seek to raise a total of US$72,000 for a 40% stake in the business.
This is more than a club; it’s a dual-impact engine built on the proven expertise of founders Merv and Lerma Moore. Merv, an award-winning coach with a history of building national teams in Europe and Asia, is on a mission to create the Philippines’ next generation of baseball and softball standouts. Lerma, a local councilwoman, is dedicated to uplifting her community through accessible nutrition and opportunity. Together, they have crafted a business model where profit and purpose are seamlessly aligned, offering investors a chance to generate significant returns while driving tangible social change.
The Investment Proposition: A Triple-Threat Revenue Model
Your capital will fuel three powerful, interconnected revenue streams designed for rapid growth and sustainability:
The Flagship: Our Volunteer Abroad Program. This is our financial cornerstone, projected to generate 49% of total revenue. We offer an unparalleled 14-day immersive experience for international volunteers—primarily American collegiate softball players and sports enthusiasts—at $499 per participant. This program provides expert coaching to our youth, reduces operational staffing costs, and creates a consistent, high-margin income flow. With a dedicated 5-room Bed & Breakfast at our headquarters, we have built the infrastructure to scale this program immediately, ensuring a strong, recurring revenue base from day one.
The Expansion Play: Club Franchise Sales. With baseball and softball in its infancy on Bohol, we are not just building a team; we are building an entire league. Our strategic plan involves selling 8-10 turnkey club franchises across Bohol in the next 3-4 years. Each franchise sale represents a $20,000 injection of capital. As the founding model, the Bohol Coconuts will receive franchise fees and establish a competitive ecosystem, turning our initial club into the hub of a thriving regional sports network. This stream is projected to contribute 27% of our revenue, offering immense scalability.
The Community Heartbeat: Integrated Services. Our facility includes a low-cost Soup Kitchen and a member-exclusive Food Store, addressing critical food insecurity while creating a loyal membership base. These services, alongside apparel, sponsorships, and events, form a stable 18% of our revenue, deeply rooting us in the community and ensuring consistent cash flow.
The Dream Pipeline: Scouting Tomorrow’s Stars
Beyond the balance sheet, we are investing in human capital with monumental potential. The Philippines has a rich baseball history but a current lack of structured development. Under Coach Merv Moore’s proven system—which transformed Swiss baseball and developed 14 national team players—we will train youth 250 days a year. Our goal is clear: to forge a pipeline for elite athletes to earn Philippines college scholarships, compete for spots on the Philippine National Teams, and, for our most talented baseball players, sign professional minor league contracts. We are not just running drills; we are building futures, and the first club to unlock this talent will reap unparalleled rewards in reputation, network, and success.
Why This is a Unique & Low-Risk Opportunity
Proven Leadership: Merv’s 30+ years of international coaching success and Lerma’s entrepreneurial and political acumen provide an unmatched foundation.
First-Mover Advantage: We face no direct competition on Bohol. We are creating and dominating the market for structured baseball and softball.
Community-Driven Model: Our use of local volunteers and an international volunteer program drastically lowers overhead, protecting profit margins from day one.
Clear Financial Path: With detailed projections showing break-even by Month 8 and a net profit margin rising to 31% by Year 2, the path to return on investment is clear and achievable.
