Default Do you have what it takes?

I am always open to new ideas. If you want to impress me with a business idea and have the guts to take something from ground up, then I may be interested in getting involved in helping you get your project off the ground.

There are no limitations, I am interested in any ideas you may have, regardless of the market. If you can convince me that you have a project that is worthy, I will introduce you to my board of Directors who have skills in various areas of business and help you arrange finance if required.

You do not need Business skills, we can help you develop the project and fill in the gaps.

I am not easily impressed, but I am open to anyone that wants a break with the right idea. Post or PM me.

I have a degree in cowardice,

But the wife ain't scared of anyone.

Had this knocking around a few years and don't have the time or skills to market it further.

sold about 50 in 2 years all owners report great idea.but lost interest as not the flyer we had hoped.

Hi IP2,

It seems to me you are like the Dragons Den of this business forum, which is great as any new starters can utilise your skills, experience, sources of finance to push good business ideas into reality.

However, since I am new in here. May I ask what is your background? What credentials do you have?

I would love to hear from you.

Hope you don't find this intrusive.

Surprised that that doesn't fit naturally with your other businesses Al as an add on sale...your site for it doesn't do it justice, looks quite odd in FF and I would be put off from buying by the strange endorsement at the top of the page...but you weren't asking for a web review so I will shut up on that. Do you make them? Anyway mate, whilst an interesting challenge...I am not looking for a project to takeover, my time is also v tight, looking for ideas where I can help a startup get off the ground or to the next level.

As those that know me on here know I don't discus my businesses. Suffice to say I have 23 years experience in creating and running my own in many fields. I started early!

As I have said privately, interesting idea with potential that I am happy to help advise you on...and possibly get involved in... keep that brain churning, I suspect there are a lot more great ideas in there too
