DENVER, Oct. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DC Brands International, Inc., a publicly reporting company trading under the ticker symbol (OTC: HRDN), today announced that it has entered into an agreement with the financial partnership group of HARD Save LLC, the entity that controls a majority of the voting power of the Company's securities, to provide the Company with a funding package, giving the Company immediate access to working capital.
