Investing in a DAB radio company
(1/9) > >>
ocset:
Hi,
I have been offered the chance to invest in a company making reliable, small  DAB radios in UK…”British designed and built, with full warrantee”
How can I find out whether or not the company is simply middle-manning  them in from China?
The Soulman:
Yeah, must be chinese old-stock, everybody is moving to DAB+ now.

Joking aside, just visit the place where they do their designing and building?
If they're reluctant, you'll know enough.
Gyro:
The DAB market is pretty well populated with established UK manufactureres, you've got Pure, Roberts, Revo, and Ruark... all British, not to mention the multinational players, mainly Sony [Edit: and a bunch of cheap Chinese OEMs.]

If this is a startup, then you're going to need to offer something that they don't, and be able to match their buying power when it comes to parts. Not to mention brand awareness and marketing. If it's one of the established companies, I doubt that they would be looking for small investments.

Have you done any research at all on this?  It sounds like your worst nightmare - trying compete against decent British companies with no excuses!  ;D
greenpossum:
If they spell warranty that way perhaps you should not DABble in them, hahaha.

Does anyone even use DAB in the UK? I personally don't know anyone who does. FM is likely to remain king here for a long time yet, any attempt to enforce a switchover will probably just lead to rise in the pirate stations.
