Selling 20% of My interest in an Online Website Content Provider Service

[bethoven]

Hi! everyone I'm joebert owner of a Website Content Provider Service here in the Philippines. Our website content service (popular term would be outsourcing company) and we are operating since Nov. 2010 and we are currently serving a few clients all over the world providing content solutions for their websites. We started developing our systems since November of 2009. In other words, our marketing website is already live.

Currently, I am raising capital investment to fund our operation and expansion of our business. The total capital I am raising is $200,000 for a total of 20% stake of our website content service business divided to $10.00 per share once incorporated.

The fresh capital will be used to:

1.) Incorporation of the Business under Philippines Laws and you as an investors would be part of the incorporators (foreign investors are allowed under Philippine Laws)
2.) Copyright/Trademark registrations of our logo and others
3.) Investment in Computer equipment
4.) Marketing & Management Personnel Training
4.) Online Marketing Activities
5.) Others


Stated above are in general terms and if you want to learn more send me a pm, a background of yourself and your email address and I am going to email you our confidentiality agreement. After agreeing with our confidentiality agreement we will schedule for a skype conference and we will send you our Business Plan.

Kirk,

Hi! As much as I want to send the link of our website but stakeholders of our business have decided not to provide any other information other than the stated information above until you have signed our confidentiality agreement. I hope you understand that we need to protect our proprietary rights. I'm sure if ever you decide to be part of our investors you want to be protected as well. I hope you understand. I'll send you our confidentiality agreement once approved by our lawyer on Monday and that is if you decide to pm your email and a short background of yourself. Thank You

Hey Joe,

I can appreciate your wanting to hold back information for your company. But, it would make more sense if your company was an invention, or something that is not already being shared with the public.

If I understood correctly, you have a website that was launched in Nov 2010? Wouldn't you want to share that website and brand your product and company. That is how you get more clients, is it not?

You're looking for $200,000 for 20% of your company. That is a $1,000,000.00 evaluation for your company. It just seems to me that if you have a company that is currently running and is worth a million dollars, you would want to share the name and website of the company.

If I am way off, please let me know.

Thanks,
Kirk

I perfectly understand how you feel, yes its true that in order to market online as much as possible you want to promote the website online and off line to potential targeted clients however I'm in a forum where it breeds potential competitors rather than clients to our service.

It is very difficult to make an informative decision if you lack the information, right? A business plan would be sent to you with all the details that you need from Historical data dating back to our development stage and a 5 year financial and operational forecast and details of operations. Well, in today's world of where it is easy to copy everything and proclaim that its his is a scenario we want to avoid. "Just to cite an example Facebook, who would have thought an 11,000 startup capital would be worth billions after 7 years, and almost $360M where paid in settlement fees to the persons claiming that its his. All because they forgot to sign a written agreement"

It is stated above that we have "No" trademark registrations yet. Anyone can claim our pictures our text that its his.

Evaluations.... good point? our asset valuations would be specifically detailed in the Business plan once approve (just to give you a hint assets would also include Land where our office is located, website development cost, Vehicle, Equipment Organization Costs, Intangible assets (once trademark approve and others)

You are valuing your "idea" at $1MM right now. Even Zuckerberg at the time of inception of the FB idea couldn't raise that kind of money even though he had a revolutionary idea. I understand you want to keep things private (as FB is a prime example of how ideas can get lifted), but to say you have a $1MM idea right now is pretty out there.
