Interview With The President

Q1. What type of business do you have?

A themed limousine service that supports local and state charities affiliated with the police, sheriff's departments and state patrol.

Q2. What is the purpose of this business?

Hot Pursuit Limos, Inc. sells licenses to individuals desiring to go into business for themselves. It is to teach them the business basics in order to be successful. It is to grow the business nationwide.

Q3. What is the key message or phrase to describe your business in one sentence?

Providing the tools to business people in order to provide a unique and fun experience to the guest utilizing a themed limousine.

Q4. What is your reason for starting your own business?

While currently growing the racing themed limousine service into a national company, I felt that the value of the licensee investment had grown so much that it was hampering those that wanted to go into business for themselves due to the higher investment threshold.

Q5. What is your product or service?

Limousines designed to look like a sporty security vehicle. Vehicles utilized are the new Dodge Charger. The Hot Pursuit Limos are painted, numbered and lettered to pay tribute to the law enforcement community. Party busses are made to look like prisoner transport vehicles.

Q6. Can you list three unique benefits of your product?

The only security themed limousine business in the world. One of the few ways to learn how to start a limousine business from the ground up. The only transportation service that is an extension of law enforcement by participating in charity events and generating money to police benevolent groups.

Q7. What is the product application?

Unique weddings for those involved in law enforcement (one of the largest employers in your local area), bachelor/bachelorette parties and other nights out on the town, children's birthday parties, law enforcement charity support sponsorships.

Q8. What led you to develop your product?

Early in the start up of the racing themed limousines, I also looked at additional themes I felt would be successful. I registered the domain name www.prisonbus.us several years ago in preparation for the launch. Only recently did the timing come together for this business venture.

Q9. Who is your competition?

There is no similar product. This company has different demographics than the racing themed limousine service, and the product has limited competition from the traditional black or white Lincolns.

Q10. How is your product differentiated from that of your competition?

The car is security themed. The car exterior features include a front bumper bar, search lights, a light bar on the roof, 4 corner strobe lights and all the markings of a typical security vehicle. Inside, there's a metal cage divider separating the security personnel from the "prisoners" in the back.

While having security trim on your Hot Pursuit Limo is legal; in some states, modifications to the vehicle are required. Our License Development Manager Dave Ziccarelli will be glad to answer your questions about your particular area. You may reach him at dziccarelli@hotpursuitlimos.com.

The Prison Bus is gray on the outside with prison "bars" on the windows and all of the appropriate markings including the words: HOT PURSUIT LIMOS PRISONER TRANSPORT VEHICLE.

Q11. What is the pricing of your product versus your competition?

The national average for a Lincoln limousine is $85 per hour. This product may be positioned at a higher level due to the uniqueness of it.

Q12. Are you making any special offers?

Yes, we are offering several incentives: They include:

• Low advance royalty. Because we are in the launch phase of a national company, we anticipate increases in the advance royalty. This provides built in equity for the licensee.
  
  
• $500 travel deduction. When both parties agree that it is in their interest for you to become a licensee of Hot Pursuit Limos, we allow you to deduct $500 from the advance royalty in order to meet the president of Hot Pursuit Limos and attend the Business School.
  

Q13. What plans do you have for advertising and promotions?

There is no national ad fund contribution by the licensees; therefore all advertising is at the discretion of the local Licensee.

Q14. Do you have the management team needed to achieve your goals?

The management team will grow as the needs dictate. Having been the President and Chairman of the Board of a multi office company with over 150 employees, I am prepared for the future and understand the need for infrastructure and delegation.
