You might want to fix your link. The comma at the end screws up the link for anybody who clicks on it. 
Here is the corrected link. |

Good luck on starting your business. The interface seems to be done very well, but a couple things on your site seem to raise red flags.
- For example, the contact information is obviously fake.
- Simple things like spelling and grammatical errors show a lack of professionalism.
- Also, you do not have any qualifications listed. No intelligent investor will take this risk without verifying that the company is qualified and capable of doing the things that they promise.
There are a myriad of other problems as well, but I suggest that you take a look over your business plan again and try full disclosure of your business practices. I hope that I am not being too harsh and that you do not take any of this personally. However, you will find that it is difficult to attract investors no matter how pretty your site is. Good luck! |

I agree. Even though I really like the design of the website, I know myself, and most people, will not sign up, because of this lack of profesional atmosphere.

I've fixed your link. Usually this would go in the advertising forum, but if we are going to discuss it I'll let it slide.
That header is kind of scary. For 1 I think it's entirely too big...especially for those with smaller screen resolution. You have to scroll down to see the content. For 2, the black color of the header usually doesn't instill too much confidence, but more mystery. I'm not too sure the colors go together at all, but I could be wrong!
Fix that contact info ASAP though...search engines will scan the page and it may show up in different places for years ahead.
Just some thoughts, good luck on your Venture! |

One of the first things I would fix is your percentages on your investment plans. The percentage of return on investments and other financial instruments is typically calculated on a APY (Annual Percentage Yield) or APR (Annual Percentage Rate). Your "3 month 10% Return" vehicle actually appears to be a 120% APY.
My question to you is this though...if you can truly secure a 120% return, why not just borrow from the bank or some other lender at much superior rates? Even credit card cash advances will provide a much better source of capital than the venture that you are proposing. This way, you can keep more of the profits from your investing. Most investors will probably think there is something wrong with your business plan and tend to stay far away. |

| Loans take way to long, by doing it the way i have it will be fast and people will get money back faster, but later on percentages will drop. They are high now to help get things going. |

The my percent rates works like this,
Starting amount X percent=monthly earnings
monthly earnings X months on term+starting amount=Amount Paid to my customers when term has expried |

But I am not talking about just loans. If you just go and get a credit card cash advance, or even just PayPal yourself the money from a credit card, you will be saving yourself a lot more money than paying out 120% or more! If you cannot begin to understand that, no investor will trust you with any sum of money. |

Impressive site layout...
A few questions for you:
-Could you explain in more detail where exactly a customer's money is going?
-If this concept is legitimate, could you expand on the reasons for avoiding personal loans or fund rearrangement (as thrilla has suggested)?
-Can you offer some investing/education background?
-While I understand people "buy packages", the product is an investment. Seeing as PayPal does not allow investing activity, could you explain how you got around that? Am I a little outdated on PayPal policy?
While your site is nice, your service screams HYIP to me.
Forgive me if I'm mistaken, and perhaps the answers to my above questions will help clear up any misunderstanding. |

| I am with you Mac. It actually screams more like a scam to me with the fake contact information and lack of credentials/qualifications. Just waiting for the poster to respond with something a little more meaningful. |
