Description: (URL removed) is a reliable Canadian solution provider for the disposition of unwanted wireless devices including cellular telephones. We have developed a process profitably and environmentally responsibly acquire, evaluate, and maximize the value recovered from used wireless devices. Our business model is to: (a) buy unwanted wireless devices from organizations and consumers and (b) evaluate and sell reusable functioning devices to end users and resellers. Non-reusable devices are sold for refining to domestic metals recovery firms. In our second year of operations, several factors have combined to create an ideal scenario for our company to seek expansion capital including a reduction in handset subsidies offered by major carriers and escalating commodity values. In addition, our commitment to preventing the export of non-reusable devices to developing nations positions our company to become certified as a Basel Action Network e-Steward, the most stringent and highest standard of third party accreditation of companies involved in the reuse and recycling of e-scrap. We seek $100,000 of equity to build a tri-lingual (English-Spanish-French Canadian) e-commerce platform to improve acquisition, processing, and resale operations, and equip and operate a processing and sales facility with the ability to scale to process 5% of the annually available unwanted wireless devices from the Canadian market at an initial rate of 160 handsets per day, scaled up over four years to a capacity of 2,400 handsets per day with incremental staff additions to handle growth. Growth in future years will be self-funded. For further information, contact: Patrick Hebert President / Customer Experience Officer (URL removed) 55 Burke Drive Barrie, Ontario L4N7H8 Tel.
