Looking for an investor :D

Me and a couple business partners are looking for a start up investment, product is ready, market is set up, demand is set up (already have BULK orders set up), field testing has been completed, some testing has already been done, and a business plan has already been made.

I legally cant add any more details without a legal non-disclosure signing.

If you want to make some quick cash from a short term investment please PM me. We can accumulate enough revenue to pay you back in 3 to 5 months after the first order is sent out.

Just posting this here so I can give back to the ft86 community.



So close to being finished, this is the ONLY thing holding our business back. I would be forever in your debt if someone, anyone could help us out!

BLOW hey... turbo hey...

Best of luck mate, needing money yesterday is quite an issue, best put that ol' house up for a second mortgage and go from there, you know if you think the product is as good as it is, theres no issue.

you can post estimated ROI percentage and equations based on demographic information to make it a better sell.

You can also walk in to a bank with a request for a small business loan, provided you have a solid business plan it will be no issue to get that filed and filled in a day.

100k to 180k, it is the last step, all other sources of assets has been used up

If anyone willing to invest would be happy with the returns you would not have ANY trouble acquiring private placement. Who doesn't want easy money. You are having trouble because the returns are not as assured as you make them sound. Also, why should I invest in a company with no history that cant accurately estimate its start up costs? You are already over budget, not a good way to start.

We don't have a problem estimating start up costs, we just have more companies stepping in willing to give free help every day, our costs keep going down for that reason. I'm here to give the enthusiasts in my community first dibs, we are already working on the process of procuring an investor, but that process takes weeks sometimes months, especially with the way the economy is.

I just can't talk about the product too much, I can be vague at most. Sorry but I legally just cant spill the beans on everything we are working on over the internet.

My understanding is that NDA's needing to be signed before the idea is even discussed are a massive turn-off to potential investors.

Also it's nice that you considered the club here, but it's probably a waste of time considering the amount you need and the price/target market of the car.
