Lightbulb Invesment required for online business in profit
03-12-2007, 03:26 PM
  #1  

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read our post, we run an online business in the equine/horse world which has been in the building process for just over 12 months. We went live with the business just 14 weeks ago but in this time it has become very popular and is already in profit, we did not expect it to grow so fast and in fact have over 2000 members, 100+ paying advertisers and around 400,000 page views.

Due to the speed at which we have grown we now feel we need to keep the excitement going and are in the middle of updating the business to offer a unique feature to this industry which will increase the website traffic and in turn profitability further. We already have the backing of some big businesses for the new feature as they want to be involved and as well as paying to advertise are giving us items to be given away on the website.

However as you may know this can be a strain on any new start up business and although we have returned over £5000 in profit we are still some way from having all the required funds to compete in this arena with the big boys. we have grown faster than any other business in this field and already are very well known in the horse world and our main competitor has a turnover of around £80,000 p/week we feel we have a greater chance of taking a larger market share than them as we have the ability to implement changes faster.

What we are looking for is a silent partner who can expect to receive a good return on their investment within 12 months with the investment amount being returned on a weekly basis over 12 months. We are looking to offer up to a 40% share and would consider taking multiple investors but would like it to be one if possible.

We do not want to give to much away here and would ask any interested parties to email or pm us for further details.

Again thank you for taking the time to read our post.

Hi

Well done on making what sounds like a good start.

Can you confirm if you are looking for a loan over a 12 month period or an investor who will own 40% of the company and the initial investment will be paid back within the first year.

It would help if you advise the level of funding required so that we can decide whether to contact you or not, no point wasting each others time if we are not in a position to invest the amount.

Cheers

James

update: we have also managed since we placed this advert to sign up 3 large UK companies as sponsors to the new feature that is being added to the website as soon as we can.

Along with this we have this week increased profit to over £7600.

Thanks for reading......

considering you left no contact email or have any contact information on your profile then that becomes a big problem for anyone even intrested in your offer

Well happy xmas to all and of course a great new year)

We are still looking for investment in our business we have had many private messages and we would like to say thanks but we are not just looking for cash here we are looking or a partner we can work with long term. We are already making good profits and we have even managed to launch the second part of the business 6 months ahead of our plans.

Please feel free to ask questions as we now have a short list of investors and time to get involved is running out.
