Business Name:

Cortexblu Ltd

Description:

I have designed and innovated a new piece of home fitness equipment that has a world PCT patent and European/USA design patent (granted). I was offered a license contract by a major manufacturer in the U.S but due to the poor royalty rights and clauses in the contract I am now seeking to take this product to market myself. I have designed this product to be lightweight, portable, easily dismantled, over 100 exercises and be cheaper then my competitors. I am working in conjunction with southampton Solent university to develop and update my original design. The fitness market is one of the largest markets and with obese on the rise people are trying to find new ways of keeping fit and healthy and are willing to pay 'top dollar' even in todays economic climate. The 'ab lounge' marketed on informercial TV, in its first year turned over hundred million dollars and the 'Total Gym' over the last eight years, One Billion dollars. On a personal level, I have just been selected by The Observer and Courvoisier as the next generation of up and coming successful businesses.
