Situation
Liberty Firearms is a firearms retailer positioning for growth and financing — a regulated industry where lenders and investors weigh compliance, operations, and market as closely as the products themselves. The business needed a complete, credible capital package that addressed every dimension a funder examines.
The engagement
CMA built the full package, structured the way a regulated retail business is underwritten.
Company, services, and team
The plan opened with a company overview, a read of the current services and offerings, and a dedicated team section — because in regulated retail, a lender underwrites the operators and their discipline as much as the inventory.
Market and growth
A market-trends and industry overview, a market analysis, a marketing plan, and sales strategies built the growth case on evidence rather than assertion.
Proof, financials, and deck
Testimonials provided third-party proof; a financial plan with a needs assessment defined the economics and the funding required; and a brand identity and pitch deck, aligned to the plan, completed the package for lenders and investors.
Why the structure mattered
The framing decision was to meet the regulation head-on — foregrounding operations, team, and market discipline rather than leading with product. In a regulated category, a plan that reads as disciplined and compliance-aware is what earns a lender’s confidence.
Impact
Liberty Firearms left with a financing-ready package — plan, model, brand, and deck — that presents a regulated retail business with the operating discipline and market clarity capital looks for.
A regulated retailer earns capital on operating discipline and a clear market.
