BANKERS

 

According to our from previous years, working with:

Israel Discount Bank Ltd., Rishon Le-Zion Branch (No. 055), Rishon Le-Zion.

Since officials refused to cooperate, we were unable to confirm current status.

Based on our checks, we assume subject is also working with:

Mercantile Discount Bank Ltd.,

Mizrahi Tefahot Bank Ltd., branch data unavailable.

 


CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Despite our efforts, we were unable to speak with subject's officials, as they were always unavailable. We left messages which so far remain unanswered.

 

In previous interviews we were informed only the very general details.

 

This is a very long established family business.

Bar-Dayan family has other holdings and involved in other companies.

 

In 2008 we visited at subject's premises in Nachalat Yehuda, Rishon Le-Zion. It is called "Floralis". This is a large store, well designed and contains quality products. At the time of our visit, there were plenty of customers, indicating the place is doing well.

 

We estimate the store space at 600 sq. meters. At the back of the store we saw warehouses, containing large amounts of stock (mainly in carton boxes). In addition, around the built premises, there is a large open area. According to our files, all the land and properties are owned by either subject and/or the Bar-Dayan family. In addition, the family is known to hold other real estate assets.

 

According to our files, back in the 1980s-1990s subject used to grow flowers on part of these areas, deal (import, export) and market mainly dehydrated flowers. We assume subject ceased the growing activities.

 

Garden furniture market in Israel is estimated at NIS 100 million annually according to sources in the branch in June 2008. Demand is considerably higher towards the summer period. The market has been growing in latest years due to the growing numbers of private houses, penthouses and garden apartments, as well as the increasing trend in balconies in the local construction, all part of the increase in standard of living in Israel.

 

From CBS data, import of Household Utensils in 2010 rose by 15.8% from 2009 summing up to US$ 549.3 million, comparing to US$ 474.2 million in 2009 and similar to 2008 level. The growth trend continued in the first 8 months of 2011 –close to 8% rise (compared with 2010), totaling US$ 406.3 million.

 

The local household products market is considered highly competitive after reaching market saturation. It includes household textile, tableware and kitchenware and utensils, bath accessories and ornaments &decorative items, ceramic and glass ware, etc. According to estimations, the local household products market volume reaches NIS 2.5 – 3 billons annually (of which circa NIS 1 billion for “home textile”), and includes retail, wholesale, institutional markets (Retail chains capture 30% of the market share, specialization stores 20%, while the institutional and workers unions sector has 50% share).

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Notwithstanding the lack of update data, considered good for trade engagements.

Maximum unsecured credit recommended US$ 50,000.
