Before we begin, here are a few quick facts:

-63 percent of Australian household has a pet and the industry is worth 5 billion AUD annually
-eCommerce is growing at 15% yearly while traditional retail is growing at 2% yearly
-There is still no dominant pet product ecommerce company in Australia yet which leaves a great spot for anyone good enough to take it.

The above facts demonstrate that there is a great potential for a ecommerce pet products company.

We are young and energetic, and full of ideas to grow our company. We managed to grow into a 400K AUD turnover company despite starting with just less than 10K AUD capital, within a period of two years.

Our main revenues comes from:
-ebay
-websites
-comparison shopping sites such as shopping.com, myshopping.com
-affiliate incomes
-online marketing services to others

We are now seeking to a funding of 150K~200K to propel into a medium size player in the pet and ecommerce industry. We hope to be a version of Deals Direct (www.dealsdirect.com) in the pet industry, which also happens to grow from a ebay seller to a 40 million turnover ecommerce company.

In return of the fund received, we will give out shares in the company and details could be discussed with full business plan provided.

The funding will be channeled into the following areas:
-Bulk purchase and importing of goods from mainly China
To expand the current range we have and to be able to meet suppliers MOQ requirement, while ensuring the lowest cost possible;

-To further enhance site capability and attractiveness to both encourage buying behaviour and loyalty as well as increasing the capability in satisfying and delighting the customers;

-To set up a buying office and storage in China to lower cost of operation as well as to stay close to the suppliers. This will allow the company to be able to buy items in bulk in order to be the most competitive on the web and ebay.

-To engage staffing and technical expertise.

Thus far, we have achieved the following:
-Great supplier contact and great product knowledge
-Brand recognition with a email database list of 3000 members (all are customers who bought from us)
-Selling presence on different ecommerce and internet avenues
-A operational system
-Exclusive distribution rights for certain product range in Australia

We have also won the ebay Top Store Award due to the innovative and cool product offering.

We are confident that the investor will be able to recoup the investment within a period of 2 years, with an eye on exponential growth.

We welcome you to talk to us and grow this company and make it fruitful to all of us.

Regards,
Ian

Established in 2001, this company provides innovative workflow software and business process management (BPM) solutions that are applicable to any business/industry seeking to improve its processes and organisational efficiencies.


Based in Melbourne Australia, this company differentiates itself by the purely web-based nature of its software solutions, its focus on small business units, both SME's and larger organisational business units, the speed in which it can deliver customized process solutions and its ability to cross sell within larger organisations. These competitive advantages have allowed it to attract high profile clients in Australia, the US and UK, as well as doubling its revenue each year since commencement in 2005. This has been achieved in a highly competitive environment.


Business process management (BPM) tools allow businesses to automate their processes and attain enterprise operational efficiency. Gartner EXPPremier (2007) identified business process improvement as the number one business priority for senior executives within the coming years.


The company’s flagship solution is the product of 4 years of extensive R&D and can cover any business process including: supply chain management, recruitment, financial approval, project management, performance reviews, new product development, cost control, purchase requisition.


The company is headed by its two founders, who have 20 years experience in the IT industry and extensive expertise in the BPM sector.


To date this company has generated strong growth, including major sales into US and UK with limited sales and marketing resources. It continues to receive a constant stream of new leads/clients, both within Australia and overseas primarily via its web presence, from companies seeking innovative, customizable workflow solutions. This is providing strong validation of the demand for its solutions and larger opportunities, where it can increase its exposure and market presence. It is also struggling to meet current demand and having problems converting the high number of US & UK leads due to a lack of ‘on ground’ presence.


The company is now seeking external capital to address these issues. It will be used to expand resources to meet existing demand and expected ongoing growth, sales and marketing resources to increase exposure and take greater advantage of broader market opportunities and to further enhance the product offering to provide greater scalability.

Our mission is to become one of the three leading on-line job boards in Asia & the Middle East within a 3 year period. We intend to achieve this by offering two of the most comprehensive, technically advanced and content rich online job boards in the world.

The business of searching for jobs on-line has grown from niche to multi-billion dollar market, rapidly consolidating an industry that relies on the eager search activities – and employment dreams – of millions of job-seekers. It has also proven to be the ultimate recession-proof internet business. As other technology companies flounder, on-line job search sites remain key resources in the wake of layoffs and uncertain employment prospects;

My business is a start up IT venture that aims to provide online booking of services to the community. We offer a fully hosted content management and booking engine to allow small, medium and large business the ability to expose their available time slots. This is effectively a lastminute.com or wotif.com for businesses that provide services around a fixed timing model eg) massage therapists, naturopaths, accountants etc. The system is stable, production ready and whilst I am able to provide any amount of technical expertise, I lack the business knowlege and capital to push forward. I am seeking an investor or more accurately a partner that has the business knowlege and time to invest to spread the load, with the potential to earn substantial revenue. We have only one other competitor and I believe that I have a much better product that has been built utilising over 10 years of experience building enterprise scale web applications for the mining and defense industries.

Short Summary:

I have built a major web site targeted at the heavy vehicles, equipment and machinery market. I need an investor to provide some capital and operational funding for it's marketing, promotion and deployment.

Long Summary:

I would like to attract intelligent accountant types, or persons in the cars/trucks/machinery field who would be capable of managing thousands of paid listings and the bookkeeping associated with such a venture. Literally hundreds of small to medium payments daily and weekly.

Our site will give users access to thousands of classifieds listings, photos, reviews, upcoming events, industry directories and much more. This is a turnkey business model which can be run by a small team successfully.

This business opportunity speaks volumes to anyone wanting to invest online... our network will allow us the optimum base for vehicles, equipment and machinery sales in Australia and the world.

Having attained the top search position for Australian sites going back at least 7 years, my keyword promotions through having the best, most generic TLDs, will contribute to any future success for our business.

The brand is a marketing dream and easy to remember... and by having such a large array of products/services in demand to include in our genre, we'll never have a time when the content is not making sales... on-top of which, membership and community endeavors will not be hard to accomplish at all.

This business already includes, a business name registered with ASIC and the business names registry, domain registrations, trademark papers completed and paid for, operational scripting and user registration/management, graphic designs, HTML templates/logos and a payment gateway already setup.

From the moment you make your investment, we will be able to generate sales with little to no "paid-for" marketing, then as needed, we will choose what methods will best suit our endeavor. From advertising banners, affiliate programs, ad sense integration, newsletter subscriptions, paid event spots, referral based sales, this idea has many avenues for cash flow and many fall-backs.

Some of the scripting included within my business model, allows for "automatic" updating of content through various internet technologies: RSS & API integration. I can lower overhead to an absolute minimum until we decide to grow.

Your security comes in the form of direct ownership of this business if my resolve doesn't satisfy our contract. I will also provide security in the form of IT based assets if required (depending on investment).

This idea will serve as a test model (albeit a proper money generating business from day one), for much greater things... from employment to dating, we can achieve a lot with my 12 years of internet based knowledge. I have the ideas, just not the cash which is required to prevent your foot from being chopped off.

Contact me and we'll have a chat, I am eager to do this right away, so if you're in a position to get to work quickly and without too much red-tape. I am probably your key to taking on the giants of IT.

Although we can't go into detail here as we have to keep our methods secret.   We've got some excellent SEO systems for marketing to search engines like Google, Yahoo and Windows Live Search.  We've got the technical know-how and skills, now we're just looking for capital to market our services properly.  Really, any input is welcome though to prevent things getting complicated we request that the minimum amount invested is $45,000.  That way we should be able to make our budget with four entities taking part ownership of the company.  To elaborate on the potential of this business website owners typically pay between $300-$5000 per year for SEO services.  We're very optimistic! Feel free to contact us through this site if interested.

Investors have been found for this project.

We are a startup company located in Perth. We have implemented Carrier Grade IP Centrex technology offering new generation Broadband Voice services for the very lucative Australian Business Market.

We are looking to raise $500k to assist in launching our service in phase 2 and 3 of operations. The company’s IP Centrex (hosted services) offers customers the lowest cost of entry, with the lowest technology risk when moving to these new services. The Australian small to medium enterprise (SME) market is enormous. Current IP Telephony penetration is only between 2% and 3% within the SME market.

This is a unique investment opportunity as our vision is to go national. To request a detailed Information Memorandum contact me directly.

Minimum Investment: $100k to $500k
