Description:
I started Martin Keir Associates to do some digitizing for my wife who dows commercial embroidery - "Wishes In Stitches Embroidery". My wife is the GREATEST at embroidery; I am not so great at digitizing. But I kept my license and about 3 years ago just let it go dormant. Well, as fate would have it, after working for GE for almost 24 years, I was downsized in 02/2009, So I have been taking my MBA, studying for certifications, posting for any job daily - se la vie... But now my focus for the business is Information Systems Consulting and Servicing (I was an IT Manager AND Senior Systems Analyst at the same time last year). So, I would like to have a permanent job, but a contract job is fine. And if they want a C2C, I'm planning on incorporting Martin Keir Associates. Right now, I have a sale of oil I bought with a Crude Oil License I purchased (very expensive) and two other offshore accounts that I merely need the Authenticity Certificate for (one in London, represented by a Barrister), and another in a foriegn country. So, I am needing some start up money badly as the layoff has ruined by credit, my ID was stoneln through the Internet, but I have Life Lock, and I basically am living on my unemployment checks weeke to week until I find a job or get the money to bring back the funds to the US by purchasing the certificates and paying the docking fees at the Port Authority in CA (by today which I know won't happen). I already have a buyer, receipts, manifest, licenses; everything need to prove I am not being scammed and you are not either. I had one investor who was going to do this for me 5 weeks ago but wanted $2000 USD up front to join his "club". No thank you. I had another investor ready to wire the funds to me, then didn't hear from him. I called and emailed him and his company AND GOBIG NETWORK. GOBIG called me back immediately - that company has had complaints of scams. So I would like to stick with a US lender eager to help a person out who, maybe has had a little misfortune over the last year, but nearly as bad as others have had it. I am looking as a borrower. MY credit score is horrible as I said, my debt/Income ratio is horrible personally, so the only think my bank suggested (who I have been with for 40 years was to find an investor, get my business going, gain business crdit along the way, and then mowrk my personal credit back to 800+ as it used to be. I would like to become an investor in the future to further my business's earnings potentials.
