Description: (URL removed) is a private limited company founded and run by Jonathan Hoblyn. I trained as a copywriter in Ireland's biggest ad agency, McConnells, in 1987. I went on to work with FCB in Perth, Western Australia and Wilson Hartnell (Ogilvy & Mather) in Dublin in 1992. In 1993 I began my own independent creative business and work with ad agencies, design companies, web development companies and directly for clients throughout Ireland and the UK. From Kelloggs to Guinness, Nike to AIB, I have worked in every media imaginable for every major brand and company. (URL removed) is registered in Ireland and accounts are available for the last 5 years. I'm looking for an investor for a start-up company to develop a global digital publishing service. We will start trading in Dublin in January concentrating on the Irish market for 12 months to hone and perfect the services we offer. We can then take it to the UK market with a proven, successful model and on to Australia, the United States and around the world. Without publishing too much detail here, I have a business plan for a new service based on my long experience. I have run my own small company successfully within this industry for 17 years and now it's time to really put that expertise to work. The concept has been endorsed by Google, industry experts and clients-in-waiting. I have the skills, the enthusiasm, the resources and the contacts. What I need now is the investment. You can choose to be an executive or non-executive member of the board and if you want to get involved in the running of the company, all the better. I'm looking for an investment of €500,000 in exchange for 50% of the company. The investment is to provide working capital for the first 12 months. We will be profitable after 9 months and your exit strategy includes your initial investment plus 50% of the profits after 36 months. This should be at least €250,000 but more likely to be another €500,000 If you'd like to meet me and go through the business plan, then please get in touch and we'll see what we can do.
