Mantis Clothing Group Pty Ltd is a custom apparel and retail fashion business focused on premium sportswear and lifestyle clothing, positioned within the wholesale teamwear and direct-to-consumer retail market. Through its integrated consultation, production, and retail model, the Company delivers high-quality custom garments and proprietary lifestyle brands to sports clubs, schools, corporate workplaces, and retail consumers. This is not an early-stage concept. The foundation has been established: Nine years of established wholesale operations across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Company-owned Gladstone headquarters and retail showroom successfully operating Secured multi-year supply partnerships, including the Cook Islands Rugby League Successfully launched proprietary Menswear, Activewear, and Audio product lines The business is now positioned to move into a national retail expansion and scaled wholesale acquisition phase.

OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW

Mantis Clothing Group Pty Ltd is seeking to raise capital to fund a strategic five-store retail rollout and secure major sporting league registrations. The opportunity exists within a market that is: Highly fragmented within the custom apparel sector, requiring reliable, relationship-based suppliers Experiencing strong demand for culturally authentic and identity-driven community apparel Presenting significant crossover potential between wholesale club networks and direct retail consumers The Company is designed to capture this opportunity through: Recognised expertise in culturally significant and identity-driven garment design A dual-revenue engine combining wholesale B2B contracts with direct-to-consumer retail Established regional supply chain and production coordination systems Exclusive in-house brands (Menswear, Activewear) and premium Audio partnerships This creates a clear pathway from a regional custom supplier to a prominent South East Queensland lifestyle retail network.

CORE MODEL

The business generates value through a structured model: Wholesale Custom Apparel Primary B2B revenue driver supplying uniforms and merchandise to sports clubs, schools, and corporate clients. Company-Owned Retail Brands Direct-to-consumer sales of proprietary Menswear, Activewear, and Monster Audio ranges. Recurring Wholesale Contracts Repeat annual ordering cycles from established sporting leagues, community groups, and educational institutions. Retail Network Rollout Expansion pathway via high-foot-traffic locations to capture direct retail margins and brand visibility. This model combines initial revenue with ongoing and scalable income streams.

EXECUTION STRATEGY

The business is executing a staged growth plan: Phase 1 (0-6 months): Finalise QRL (Queensland Rugby League) registration and upgrade the Gladstone headquarters. Phase 2 (6-12 months): Launch the flagship Pacific Fair, Gold Coast retail destination and expand the in-house sales team. Phase 3 (12-24 months): Execute sequential retail openings in Brisbane City, Browns Plains, and Chermside while scaling digital commerce. The strategy is to scale in line with demand and operational capacity.

MARKET POSITION

Mantis Clothing Group Pty Ltd is positioned within a clearly defined gap in the market. The Company sits between: Large-scale offshore volume suppliers limited by poor service and rigid communication Small local garment decorators limited by narrow product capabilities and lack of scale Single-channel wholesale providers limited by a lack of direct-to-consumer retail presence The business combines: Premium product quality with relationship-led client consultation Culturally informed design expertise for highly specific community needs A physical showroom experience supporting both B2B consultations and B2C sales A highly scalable dual-channel growth model driven by experienced operational leadership This positioning supports sustainable growth and competitive advantage.
