RE: UKNM: anyone got capital?

[tristan]

Thought a comment was in order on this thread in general.


My experience is that there is start up capital available in the UK, both

large and small amounts. I agree with some of the earlier postings that a

good business plan and a demonstration of some prior achievement helps,

even if its just a half good employed career earlier.


What I have found though is that because many of us who start in this

industry are relatively inexperienced at the begining,  we can tend to be a

little naive in terms of what is expected from the point of view of the

size of investment on day one.


If you take Corpex as an example (no plug intended) Corpex was started with

a relatively small amount and has been self funding from nearly month 3.

Manageable growth has allowed us to become a major force in our niche - to

the extent that people trying to by us for substantial amounts  is becoming

a weekly  event.


My overall point therefore is this. If you have a good idea and want to

make it work - do persist, but bear in mind that investors are nervy about

their cash on day 1.


If any of you wish to start a new business in this industry, or have a

venture that really needs a boost, don't hesitate to contact me as we may

well be able to help as we are always looking to invest in new or exciting

projects.

There's plenty of good businesses being built today in the UK.


What about QXL?  And for that matter Eclipsis with travel?  And then

there's

Cardcorp.com with an interesting proposal for business cards.


Also, the folks at Infront with Alphabet and Audio Street and all the other

streets they've got!


And not forgetting the guys from the likes of RealCall, Netcall, PhoneMe

etc

who are offering call back and fax back services for business.


There's some good stuff out there and people doing good things.
