A few words about me and my business:

I am a real person, with a real business, looking for investors and/or partners. I am also here to help and learn from the other small business owners. Please feel free to contact me if you are looking for serious feedback, help, or serious contacts regarding my business. My business is in the very early stages. It is an online site that will rival EBay. It is similar but there are 3 very important differences that will drive professional and freelance merchants to my site and give them a competitive edge over sellers on EBay. I have visited over 10 large flea markers on the east coast personally talking with merchants about what I was developing. In my business plan I set out and achieved gaining as many potential clients as possible with my limited budget. I have information for 855 sellers of different levels of involvement from 1 or 2 sales a month to hundreds. They have provided me with their contact information and agreed to be notified when the site was launched. They were told they would receive 3 months free listing membership at a certain level of membership, which they could upgrade for a better package and pay the difference if they chose. This again was implemented in my business plan to ensure that in our launch phase when we are trying to drive customers to the site, there would be a wealth of products for potential customers as well as being a drawing point for additional sellers to sign up. I am very confident in the sites success, and we will begin seeing nice profits after 3 months of the launch date. We will see initial income for the advertisers I have already secured that will pay as soon as the site is up with their add in place. This money will be used first to pay back any investors that join the team. If I simply get and take an offer for partner that money will be the start of our future income and will be used for the costs associated with obtaining new customers with such as advertising, travel, site maintenance and server upgrades for increased capacity. I am open to either the partner being simply a financial partner who wants to sit behind the scenes and reap the rewards, or if they are interested in being very involved with the business if they are capable. I am willing to discuss in detail my full business plan with seriously interested persons whom are willing to sign a confidentiality agreement. Please feel free to contact me at: Janaka@ptd.net If you prefer phone conversation, email me your number or let me know and I will send you mine. I just do not want to post me phone number for all to see. Thanks for all who have taken the time to view my profile and message posts, and good luck to all the future and existing business owners. Thanks for your time, Janaka (John) D. Carl
