We are located in pennsylvania and have all permits required for scrap tire recycling.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;here is a summary of our business plan. I have the full plan if anyone would like to look over it. I can send it via email&lt;/P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;P&gt;SUMMARY OF BUSINESS:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;Tire Visions, Inc. ("TVI") was incorporated in June, 2003 for the purpose of acquiring business opportunities in the tire shredding and recycling industry, and currently seeks to develop an operation which manufactures crumb rubber from the recycling of scrap tires. From the millions of newly scrapped tires that become available each year, two products consisting of crumb rubber and steel scrap will be produced and subsequently sold as feedstock to various manufacturers of a wide range of end products including both stand-alone products and products that require installation. According to &lt;U&gt;Scrap Tire News Online&lt;/U&gt; in February, 2003 over 270 million scrapped and discarded tires are available to be processed annually in the United States. In our more immediate geographical region, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has indicated more than thirteen million tires are scrapped and available for processing each year in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania alone. With this type of volume, it can be inferred that the business life expectancy of this proposed business will be indefinite.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;The selected lease site north of Northern Cambria, Pennsylvania was previously used originally as the main complex of a mining operation by Greenwood Collieries, which was a subsidiary of Pennsylvania Mines Corporation, which itself is a subsidiary of PPL Utilities. The property to be leased to TVI includes buildings of more than 42,000 square feet located on slightly less than 11.50 acres, and while located in a secluded area, it is sufficiently close to major highway access. A description of the property and a map of the general area are shown in Exhibit "A". This proposed reuse of the property for development of a new crumb rubber recycling business represents a positive step for continued redevelopment of former industrial property within northern Cambria County&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;The operations of the business will be performed internally, although selected operations or services may be purchased from third parties as necessary. A summary processing flow sheet of the main parts of the proposed operations is attached as Exhibit "B". Arrangements have been discussed with a number of companies for the marketing and sale of crumb rubber and steel scrap, and as part of these discussions, TVI has received four letters of interest from crumb rubber purchasers to take selected quantities of crumb rubber products at a specified (market) price. This volume of crumb rubber effectively represents more than 125% of the forecasted production levels.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;The business will consist of the importation of scrap tires for a tipping fee followed by the shredding, separation of metals and subsequent packaging for shipment of the crumb rubber. The steel scrap will similarly be collected and packaged for shipment to steel mill customers. These processes will require the use of rotary shear shredders and granulators for the recycled tires, screens and conveyors for the sizing of the product, and the use of magnets for the extraction of the scrap metal. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;The annual business projection is attached as Exhibit "C" and assumes a very short period of start-up operations, after which annual crumb rubber production is expected to level off at more than&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;17,000 tons of crumb rubber annually. At these forecasted levels of production and based on assumptions listed in the attached projections, TVI expects to realize the following annual production levels in the first full year of operation:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;Tires processed&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;Truck 20,280 tons (405,600 tires)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;Automobile 3,380 tons (338,000 tires)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;Annual Revenues $ 4,445,545 &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;Annual Expenses $ 2,255,764&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;Annual Net Income (AT) $ 1,201,747&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;This business plan outlines the need for the development of bank loans supported by USDA Business Development Programs to fund the start of operations and purchase of equipment, for working capital financing supported by accounts receivable and inventory as generated by the business, and the use of limited equity capital. Assistance from state and county business development agencies will be developed as needed and as available. Some of the used equipment, such as the shredders and other crumb rubber equipment will be obtained through capital equipment loans to be acquired by TVI through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and in other instances, through private loans.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;Both state and county development agencies, particularly the Northern Cambria Community Development Corporation (NORCAM) and the Cambria County Industrial Development Authority, have been very supportive of the project with the anticipated creation of more than 35 full-time hourly and salaried jobs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=justify&gt;The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will be requested to provide a General Permit for Processing/Beneficial Use for Residual Waste, specifically for the processing of waste tires. Additionally, TVI intends to employ a local consulting firm for the preparation of all permit applications and for any required follow-ups with Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.</description><pubDate>Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:51:50 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jhobor</dc:creator></item><item><title>Looking for Investor for a Start-up Business</title><link>http://www.forums.vcfodder.com/Topic1070-84-1.aspx</link><description>&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3&gt;Heelo to all,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3&gt;I have been quietly searching for funding for my business for 4 years now, to no avail.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;Just can't seem to find the right investor.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;Oh, I had had a few potential investors:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3&gt;The "professional co-worker/friend" that took my money and tried to screw me for $15,000.00.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;Took me 2 years to get my money back plus interest, court costs and lawyers fees all paid by him.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;Lesson learned.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3&gt;The "investor with money" that said he was interested.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;Needed 3 months to tie up some loose ends and then decided (3 months later) that he wasn't interested after all.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;Another lesson learned.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3&gt;I can't openly advertise for investors locally.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;I have to do it quietly.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;If my plans get out, others in town will jump on the idea and I will be out in the cold.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000 size=3&gt;I have posted on Go4Funding.com.

Why not, for a change, let investors come to YOU?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We will perform the following services:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Write a tantalizing and informative 3-5 page article about you, your project and your goals with the project, as well as mentioning your desire for investor funding. With this article in hand, we will contact various magazines, newspapers and other printed media to introduce you, and a press request to publish.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Design and create a press release suitable for introduction to the media, which will then be broadcast to global media sources, targeting several countries currently funding in your industry.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Write five more articles related to your project's field or industry, and publish these as social media marketing to be read by the masses.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Think about it. Why is it so hard to find investors? Because 99 times out of 100, THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF YOU. You are an unknown, with a business they've never seen or heard of. There is something so much better that you can do rather then taking your project to investors who have never heard of you. Our services allow you to TAKE INVESTORS TO YOUR PROJECT. Investors will read about you in a professional medium, and THEY will contact YOU.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For more information, please contact Scribes Unlimited at 216-371-4752, or by email at info@scribesunlimited.com.

One of them has been a reasonably successful upscale home builder in the US for over 20 years.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;They have a preferential position on the acquisition of some land in the Caribbean (DR). This is due to a multi year relationship with the landowner. Suffice to say, they could buy in to a piece of land at 20-30% less than current market value.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;They are looking to develop and build a very high quality townhome and private villa community with a golf course. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regardless, other than the relationship with the landowner, they have no money. One of them has worked for the last year or so (and probably spent $100K or so) putting together a master plan, meeting with 5-star architects, engineers, water treatment people, real estate sales and marketing companies, etc. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Total project expense is projected at $325-350 million.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Total project income is projected at $450 million.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have seen the numbers, and agree with these estimates. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Problem is....they need about $30-40 million to get started. Infrastructure, excavation, etc.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here's the debate....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;* my opinion is that they are kidding themselves to think they can raise that type of money, with none of their own invested.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;* they feel that since they have a complete presentation, including financial projections and a preferential position on the land, that they will be able to borrow the money from "somewhere". Either a bank loan "guaranteed" by a "backer", or from a "hard money" lender(s). Obviously, they are willing to repay the note inside of 4-5 years, with interest (10% ?)PLUS 30% of the net ($35 million?) to the backer. According to them, they have a "committment" from a NYC hedge fund to do the deal....but no meetings or money has materialized yet (it's been a month).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I say "BS". What do you say?</description><pubDate>Thu, 17 Apr 2008 10:23:08 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>cdmotor</dc:creator></item><item><title>On demand printing for all your business needs</title><link>http://www.forums.vcfodder.com/Topic1094-84-1.aspx</link><description>If you need to print a business plan or private placement memos you can do it all with the click of your mouse.

This caused immense destuction to the Central American countries of Nicaragua and the Honduras.  This hurricane turned virgin rainforest into a tree cemetary.  In order to allow the rainforest to grow again these trees need to be harvested.  This also will provide a third world country income to rebuild and eliminates a huge fire hazard.   Costa Rica Premier Realty represents a company with timber concession rights with the Nicaraguan government.  Because of the size of the devastastion and the amount of timber that needs to be harvested they are selling 1000 shares at $10,000 each for a total of $10,000,000.  Most of this money will be used to purchase equipment to harvest the lumber.  Estimates exceed 2,500,000 cubic meters of lumber with a market value of $1 Billion.  The investors' share is projected to be $175,000,000 or $175,000 per share.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For more information please contact Dan at Costa Rica Premier Marketing.&lt;br&gt;dan@crpremierrealty.com&lt;br&gt;877-609-9562</description><pubDate>Mon, 24 Mar 2008 15:30:12 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>chambedj</dc:creator></item><item><title>Seeking capital</title><link>http://www.forums.vcfodder.com/Topic1077-84-1.aspx</link><description>GEONAZCA is seeking $500K to acquire used drilling rigs, compressor and support vehicles that we can overhaul.

The production prototype would require about three months to complete and it would include all the relevent suppliers of parts and supplies. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The sales potential is about 2 billion dollars per year in the U.S. alone. The compitition is limited to two companies that control the entire market and by their own studies will not wish to convert to a newer technology. Their own study shows that this product will capture 80 percent of the market if it reaches it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The problem I have is that I am an inventor, not a money finder. I don't move in those circles and don't know how to even start getting their attention. I have tried many times in the past without any luck except to attact the scammers.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I need someone who is willing to foot the upfront cost of the production prototype and acquire all the expansion capital required. The enitial prototype was in operation for a year and proved to be quite impressive to all that saw it. The problem with a product of this size is the amount of expansion funds that must be available. Once the demand for the product is established by actual exposure to the trucking industry, any delay in getting the product to the buyers will result in start-ups that will look for a way to get into the demand. Only a well financed company could maintain its "first out" advantage and would not have to worry about any start-up competing with it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a very comprehensive business plan backed by 30 plus years of designing, manufacturing and marketing this type of product to another industry. I am looking for someone, or company, that can supply the management while I share in the development and marketing. I wish to retire in a few years and would like to see the product completed with an eye on future income.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you would like further information, I would be happy to discuss my plans or product with you. No proprierty information will be disclosed in preliminary discussions.</description><pubDate>Sun, 21 Oct 2007 12:14:52 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>OregonInventor</dc:creator></item><item><title>Funding for a new international US-Based Healthcaresolutions/BPO company</title><link>http://www.forums.vcfodder.com/Topic1005-84-1.aspx</link><description>&lt;STRONG&gt;Katonia Tech Solutions (KTS)&lt;/STRONG&gt; is an US based international company that provides high quality health care services and management solutions to physicians, clinics and hospitals in the U.S. market.

Then other services will come along like selling advertising for other web pages, offering streaming online content and even our own internet access.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Uruguay is a small country with 3 300 000 inhabitants where more than 50% of them are internet users (according to official sources). The main email service providers have no antispam filters and offer low drive capacity and that is the main cause for the need of a new free local email service.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Running costs will be low (we are a cheap country) and the initial investment should be around US$ 100 000 - 150 000. That should be enough for, at least the first year of operation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have been browsing past posts and have realized that such amount is considered small, too small to ask a VC for it and too big for me to raise between friends and relatives, so where should I go for financing?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks in advance for your advice!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Esteban.-</description><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jul 2007 17:09:53 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>mail.com.uy</dc:creator></item><item><title>New company seeking an investor</title><link>http://www.forums.vcfodder.com/Topic977-84-1.aspx</link><description>We are a new company that recycles scrap tires.
