Does the business come with liabilities? Such as investors? Or will they be paid back before selling OSMS? |

Keep in mind these plans are in the works and nothing is finalized yet. You have an opportunity to own one of the best nerve wrecking operations in EvE period.
If anyone is wondering what I plan on doing next... well, it should be pretty obvious, I'm taking a vacation!
The freighter program is the only thing worth some isk if you ask me. |

From what it says above LoW has said all existing investors will be paid back in full pre-sale. So its more likely the corporations will be sold with possible goodwill backing their sale prices.
Mainly this quote:
Quote: Goodwill as a term was originally used to reflect the fact that an ongoing business had some "intrinsic value" beyond its assets, such as the reputation the firm enjoyed with its clients.
We haven't really seen goodwill as a factor in business sales in the past so it will be interesting to see what affect (if any) it will have in this sale. |

Good will could work if the web site and corp name is sold. But being the corp is so much a part of the char LoW, I think that it will need that figurehead there to let people feel better about the new owners.
Maybe LoW will stay on or someone who has a rep can act as the figurehead of the corp so that the goodwill doesn't just go poof.

To be blunt what i enjoy most in EvE is building businesses. Most of the time i have turned around and privately sold the businesses I create for a substantial profit. These businesses are setup to allows players a steady income which is somewhat easy to manage. ALL of my investors will be paid in full prior to the sale of any program in which investors are involved. In the case of the freighter program the sales of said program will be followed by immediate payment to all investors. ALL of my assets are currently going through a liquidation phase as I prepare to do a few different things in EvE besides industry for a change.

I'd be interested in shifting all my capital from One Stop over to your new venture. Could you mail me the plan? I won't be able to get in-game for a few days but will get back to you asap.

Edited by: LadyOfWrath on 24/02/2009 23:20:21 As many of you know I am in the process of liquidating the assets of One Stop Mining Shop and it's freighter program. I am pleased to announce this has been by far my greatest success in EvE. The 60b ISK I started with just 3 months ago has grown to over 140b ISK through careful planning and sales. Sales on all our items during this time were on average 12% above Jita prices. I want to thank all those who helped make yet another successful business venture possible.
As for what the future holds I am always looking for new things to do. I do plan on opening a consulting firm within EvE in which I will evaluate current business setups and provide methods of increasing profits. This is something I have been successful with during my entire EvE career.
Final payouts for all bond holders will begin on Saturday.
Just remember the customer always come first. This same principle applies to every business in real life. If you do not take care of your customers someone else will. This is a game of hundreds of competitive corporations striving to sale many of the same products all reaching for their share of the pie. Learn to respect the market and use it to your advantage. Provide a service which will make your customer's game experience just a little easier and you will succeed. - LadyOfWrath

I have nothing but good things to say about the way LoW has handled things with his operations. I doubt very much this is the last we will see of LoW  |

The following information is for Phase II investors only.
Due to the recent expansion of the research alliance it has become more profitable than expected. I intend to keep this section of the bonds open should bond holders wish it. Please vote by posting in this thread. Failure to post will be counted as an ok to proceed vote. Should the decision be yes all bond holders will get a 5% payout as usual on March 15th with a 110% buyback on April 15th. should holders vote no a 110% buyback will be issued March 15th.

Edited by: LadyOfWrath on 13/03/2009 08:12:06 I have finished my review of my Research Alliance program and found the numbers to be 37% above my predictions for rate of growth. As such I have come up with a way to redesign the system from bonds to an IPO.
On April 15th ALL bond holders will receive a 110% payout as previously agreed to via a vote initiated by me and agreed to by bond holders. At this same time a detailed report of all current assets and liquid cash will be posted to account for 100% of all funds related to the program on April 15th.
This program will then shift into an IPO format where a number of stocks will be offered to investors. These stocks will represent One Stop Research's net worth on April 15th, 2009. In this case players will actually be buying into the corporation. We will allow players to purchase 49% of the company in this manner.
For the first six months One Stop Research will offer a 90% buyback policy. Any stock holder at any time can contact me or a director of One Stop Research to sell their stock to us for 90% of the stock's value posted on the last monthly report. Our monthly reports will also dictate the rise in value of our stock and all numbers may be verified through an audit via EBANK only. Should One Stop Research reach a point of liquidity representing 15% of net worth stock holders will be notified and can elect to receive a dividend. Keep in mind this dividend will cause our stock value to drop due to a reduction in net worth.
Our goal here is to create one of the most stable stocks to be bought and sold through the player base while at the same time using an influx of funds to expand current operations into Amarr space. Our alliance continues to grow every day, and with that growth I want to offer yet another opportunity to the MD community.
Stocks will be kept via my ledger system used for all previous bond offerings. I must be notified by any stock holder who sales their stocks in order to update my ledger.
This is primarily to gauge interest and to see who would be interested in becoming a part of this program. This is a very long term plan which will continue to grow through the coming years. Please post your thoughts and ideas here.

So, the potential profit for shareholders would be primarily from increase in stock value rather than dividends?
Definitely interested in investing.

This seems like a good idea built on another good idea. I would be interested in investing. I have at least one question, but I'll post it after work.
