I’m the UK Membership Chair of the Entrepreneurs’ Organisation and I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve got three successful businesses and am now working on my next venture. I believe in the idea that we, people like you and I, are Never Ever Limited, hence my company name.
I believe in an entrepreneurial Britain. I believe we, entrepreneurs, are going to drag Britain out of recession. But we need help! One of the biggest issues facing UK entrepreneurs is raising money. We’re in an environment in which no bank is willing to lend and investors are sitting on their money. I think I have a powerful proposition.
The solution came to me as I rode home on the eve of my 36th birthday. It was simply this: investors don’t invest in concepts, they invest in people. When I’m selling a concept, people are buying into me and my ability, not an excel spreadsheet and a fancy presentation. True investor visionaries are the ones who see further than a business plan, they see the drive and determination to get the business going and off the ground. They buy into me and my innate ability to get things launched and making money.
I’ve sat in front of enough investors to know that we need to change the game, we need to take out some of the risk for the investors and stop everything being tied to one project that the investor may or may not like.
So how can I change the game? Well, consider that I’ve got some clear goals, I’m young, well 36, I’ve now got 3 companies, which are on the right track, I have ideas for more. So investors, don’t risk your money on one new start-up. Invest in me, hedge on all of my ventures!
This is the true sprit of entrepreneurship! I am my own commodity and I’m Never Ever Limited.
You can now buy 10% of my lifetime earnings for just £1,000,000 today.
In this economic climate I’m a good bet.
Get involved, get in touch. Let’s get Britain back on it’s feet.
