WHAT ARE YOUR AMBITIONS
FOR MARY SHELLEY ’ S HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN ? The horror industry is scarily big business and we have big ambitions to expand the attraction beyond its four walls . We plan to host a series of ‘ Monster Balls ’ at Halloween each year as well as a number of other themed events . With such a marketable brand there are so many opportunities to be explored . Our spreadsheets with low , medium and high expectations , show that even in the worst possible scenario the concept is profitable , from day one . The reasonable scenario is very healthy , and the best is breathtaking .
The company we ’ ve formed , Bath Attractions Ltd , offers HMRC- approved EIS tax benefits ( 30 % cashback , plus 0 % Capital Gains Tax ).
If you want to join us as a partner , sponsor or investor , now would be a really good time . The opportunity is simply not going to be around for much longer . Would you have invested in the first London Dungeon , before it was snapped up ? We ’ re 65 % subscribed . Interested ? Please get in touch .
