Verity Corp Business Plan
Verity Corp has grown from three employees in one facility in South Dakota with customers in three states to twenty-four employeesin three facilities servicing customers in seven states (the added facilities are in Iowa and Georgia). Significantly, most southern states have two planting seasons for certain crops thereby doubling Verity's potential business in those regions.
The business model for Verity Corp enables the company to build its revenue base through recurring and growing revenues from a customer/farmer base which order Verity's products and services each planting season. With each passing year, more farmers return and increase the percentage of their overall acreage converted to using Verity sustainable agriculture solutions. Verity Corp is prepared to meet the rapidly growing needs of farmers that are interested in learning how to transition from conventional farming methods to healthy and natural agricultural techniques by incorporating a focus on the health of the soil through the use of natural fertilizers and revitalized water. This comprehensive selection of products and services differentiates Verity from other sustainable agricultural companies with the vertical integration of technologies such as revitalized water, non-GMO seeds and natural fertilizers that rebuild farm soil health.
The GMO labeling controversy which has been highlighted by Whole Foods' announcement that they will require their suppliers to label their ingredients as "GMO" or "non-GMO"virtually predicts that the non-GMO market will grow exponentially over the next few years--a market that Verity has developed significantly.
