Investment Project for Innovative Notions

Opportunity Snapshot

Investment Opportunity

We are planning on launching an online platform designed for the corporate industry. This will take social media and advertising to a new level and focuses on both business to business and business to consumer related services and products.Funding will be used to acquire office space, staff and realize an investment commitment from Equity Partners.

The company will launch Innovative Notions as its flagship platform offering and the other two platforms (i-Vault and e-staff) in the following two years. Adapted from the words ‘we know the web’, this platform will initially be launched as a universal market site, with our sights set on integrating a search engine, social networking and online gaming platform.

To trade from the URL www.innovation.com, businesses will be able to offer products and services such as online consulting to the online market. Users will be able to search for almost anything they can imagine (products or services), match their buying/selling requirements (price, location and quality) then select preferred buying/selling method (traditional, bidding/auctioning and aggregated) and payment type (credit card, EFT or direct deposit). The site provides a cost effective alternative to businesses who can’t afford web development and marketing costs, but would like to conduct business online.
