You shld consider taking out a business loan request on market discussions forum, and paying pilots for their contracted goods right away instead of waiting for their goods to sell. Any pilot could just use the mass sell feature to get some isk right away. Your service should get them isk right away, but also more than the sell window.

As a trader, could I contract you some of the more expensive, slow-moving ships that I trade? I'm just thinking that this could be exploited rather easily for a quick sale by lots of people. Depending on the cut you take (or will take in the future), it could be in my interest to get a quick sale without babysitting at a value close to existing sell orders. A few quick questions:

1) Do you have an ISK/order limit per person?
2) Are there any limitations as to what people can contract you?
3) Do you base your calculations off the Jita sell price?
4) What will your take be once this free period is over?

I think interested people would need the answers to these questions, and the answers should probably be edited into the original post and updated as your business grows.

Someone I know very well did something similiar back in 2009, and it became a quite large business. However, the industrialists were paid upfront when they contracted me the goods.

More questions:
5) You are not implying any geographical limits in your post, what are you going to do when people contract you stuff in null sec?
6) You say that people can appraise the goods before they contract them to you, but why should they do that if you don't pay them money until the goods have been sold by you?

Anyway, I like that someone is trying someone new in these near-deserted forums, so I am contracting you a large Aurum token in Jita to get you started. Send me a PM when you have sold it :)

Generous is not the word you want to use to describe business partners, the items are not gifts.

Also. to get goods the best option is to spam local chat channels, in my time I also set up spam cargo containers in empire space where haulers were coming through.

People in the MD forum would prefer to give you their money instead of their goods. Therefore, my advise is also to think about making a bond to get some money in your pocket, and start paying customers in Jita upfront - that way you can get more goods and take a much larger fee.

You can use Haulers Channel in game to post courrier contracts generally fast and good pricing. For small stuff under 500m collateral probably cost 500k a jump or less but higher rewards will get taken quicker. You can do some networking find haulers you like and use them instead of public contracts.

I agree the original post could use a little more explanation.
From what I can understand, he's offering immediate fast ISK for those that want it (salvage, random loot, etc), or optional pay adjustments for industrialists expecting a certain degree of profit.

I also have a few additional questions:

1) What makes you any different than the dozens of people in the WTB forum doing the same thing? Do you have an Eve-Mogul account or anything we can use to verify that you know what you're doing? Willing to offer a full API?

2) Why try to hire your own haulers instead of using readily available sources like RFF/PushX? They're already very cheap and would eliminate a lot of hassles.

3) Say I want you to sell X good at Y price. Since I have to offer the goods up front, what assurances do I have that I will ever get my money? Will you be willing to use third party holders or offer collateral? Or would you just take the asking price (assuming it's reasonable) and hope you could actually make a profit? (this is risky and leads to question 4)

4) Will you be posting profits/losses to shareholders on any timetable? How/when will potential shareholders be paid out?

Edit: Would also like to point out, your Corp Description says up to 300mill, the OP says 500mill, and your twitter says 3bill.

IIRC this section allows you to bump your thread once every 24hrs.
Also, make sure you update the OP with the new ledger.

Confirming my contract was handled fast and with a nice chat in the #VHC channel
