HOUSTON, TX-- via eTeligis - SMART VENTURES, INC. (OTC Pink: SMVR) announces new extensive growth plan for 2014. We have an extensive growth plan to emerge as one of the largest oilfield services companies providing high quality engineering services to oil majors. Our goal is to create more jobs as a full service turn- key engineering firm, midstream transportation and independent oil and gas production.
We plan to expand our services into transportation hauling services through acquiring a fleet of trucks. We have engaged a full service logistics and transportation company located in Houston, Texas to manage our trucking fleet on an outsourced management basis. We decided to enter into the midstream asset business of transportation because of its relative high profit margins of 40-50% which should provide our stakeholders a better share price evaluation through increased revenue, strong assets and a more diversified business. We plan to acquire a fleet of tractor trailer trucks soon and are already lining up contracts for the big rigs to begin hauling as soon as we take delivery.
We have also begun to explore several key acquisition opportunities in proven producing oil fields and potential bidding for University Oil leases for turn-key drilling and exploration. As we invest in communities, we pursue long-term projects with strategic goals that are aligned with global and social priorities as well as our business strengths. We seek to have a more meaningful impact by focusing the majority of our spending on significant challenges in the regions where our operations are based Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. We are committed to becoming part of the United States solution to oil and gas independence.
Our business took several steps forward in 2013 and emerged as a microcap company leader with an A list of clients as a result of our subsidiary contracts through Merlin ERD. We strengthened our balance sheet, expanded our assets, and increased revenue. We are proud of our accomplishments and even more excited about our opportunities going forward into 2014.
We have several key institutional investors committed to our growth and success who will provide the growth capital needed to support our growth plans on a debt and equity basis. We expect to shore up our cash on the books in coming months through expanded services with higher net profit margins and capital raise. We have been in discussion with our legal counsel to develop the best strategic capital raise plan for the company and our shareholders. We are exploring private placement, Reg. A, or registered offering and senior secured debt as options. The investment community has reached out to us because of our subsidiary companies' extensive operating history since 2000 and management's extensive operating experience in the oil and gas industry for more than 30 years. We expect that in coming months we will become a fully reporting company and plan to up list to the NASDAQ exchange if we meet their qualifications for approval later this year. We are located in the heart of one of the best states and city for economic growth, Texas.
