Frontline is a cleantech company in the built environment providing energy-efficient facilities management services to corporate and local authority sectors. Frontline has two divisions: (a) Facilities management covering essential building services and energy management, and (b) District Energy Schemes based around Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems through Energy Supply Companies (ESCOs). The government’s white paper on energy identified CHP as a core energy technology that can play a vital role in reducing CO2 output: these local “mini power stations” are significantly more efficient than using electricity and gas from the National supply grids. Frontline, a proven operator, already operates 3 sites in Dublin. The Company is now seeking €2m to fund its ESCO development plans. Revenue comes from 15 year energy sales agreements with end user blue-chip companies. The funding is required only when the supply agreement is in place. ESCOs are well established in most of Europe, and the highly experienced Frontline team are now planning to deliver a tailored model in the UK, Ireland and Poland, where they will use their proprietary Energy Flow™ systems to ensure an efficient design/build/finance/operation model. www.frontlineenergy.co.uk.

The Laparojet solves a key challenge facing surgeons in the fast growing field of laparoscopy (keyhole surgery through the abdomen – a worldwide market of 11m procedures) – to maintain continuous operative vision. A laparoscope transmits an image of the operative site to a screen, acting as the surgeon’s eyes. The lens becomes soiled by blood, fat, condensation and other contaminants. To clean it, which can happen 6-10 times per hour, the laparoscope is removed from the patient and cleaned manually. As a result the surgeon’s work flow and concentration is broken, patient risk is increased whilst potentially adding upto 10 minutes per hour of operative time. Because the image is temporarily removed from the screen, the surgeon has to relocate the operative site, The Laparojet is a patentable disposable which retrofits all laparoscopes and, activated by the surgeon, delivers a jet of carbon dioxide across the lens, to clear instantly. The end user price is to £70 (£100 in the US where prices are higher), acceptable for supplies to laparoscopies costing between £2,000-£10,000. Distributor margins are estimated at 50% worldwide. The total cost of goods is estimated at £7.46 per disposable unit. Funding is sought to complete development, tooling, regulatory approval, and launch by July 2011. The company is targeting breakeven in Year 1 of trading and pre-tax profit of £1.9m in Year 2.

Individual E-Traders can set up niche vending operations in specialised sectors and with low overheads and using channels such as eBay and Amazon Markets, they can mop up large proportions of these specialist markets. The top 4 ‘Powersellers’ on eBay turn over £10,000,000 in mobile phone accessories between them. Many potential entrepreneurs would be tempted to become online sellers of products if they could leave sourcing, stocking and fulfilment to other parties.

The seller only has to set the selling price and select one of Slice’s established sales channels. Most items will retail for less than £18 thus taking advantage of a VAT gain in Jersey. SLICE generates revenues from member subscriptions and a commission on sales value. The concept has been twelve months in development and is ready for launch. £200,000 is now sought to fund the construction of the web platform and to finance seeding stock.
