Small Gods 3-Month Bond (1st Issue)
Chapter 1 û Who are Small Gods?
Small Gods is a small corporation set up to allow ease of transactions between my various alts. I run two accts and five of the toons are currently in the corporation. I run activities in several areas (in order of isk generating importance): faction good resale; inter-region trading; t2 ship manufacture.
Chapter 2 - Background
I considered myself to be a reasonable manufacturer in my local region but never earned more that a few 100M in my first year or so. I then realised that there was a demand from newer L4 mission runners for faction items to pimp their ships while they train up their skills for t2 mods. I started buying up faction items in my local area and shipping them to the main L4 mission hubs to sell for a profit. This business has slowly increased over the last year and I am now a reseller far more than a manufacturer.
Chapter 3 - Corporate Governance
The only player in my corporation is me and will stay that way.
Chapter 4 - The Business Plan
This bond will raise 1B isk to add additional cash to my faction goods reselling division. The majority of items will be purchased in trade hubs and shipped to a mission hub for resale. Shipping is via active armoured transport and I generally keep cargos below 200M to discourage suicide attacks (I have not been suicided as yet).
The bond payments will be made to BeBop Lula who will control all the transactions. All assets purchased by this bond will remain with this toon to keep track of how the bond is progressing. The only exceptation to this will be during transportation to the mission hub.
Chapter 5 - Statement of Assets
Trading stock is very fluid but I usually have 3-5B in stock at any one time. I currently have 4B in cash.
Chapter 6 - Full Disclosure of Risks
The major risks are war decs and suiciding.
War Decs û I usually have enough stock to see out a week without undocking. For longer wars decs, a toon can leave the corp so that transportation of goods can continue. Suicide û Fast moving, active armour transport will be used. Its not 100% safe but then nothing in eve should be.
Chapter 7 - Full Disclosure of Main and Alts
Romanov Debeers
My main. Started life in a Roleplay corp. Can invent/build Gallente, Minmatar and Caldari. Good exploration skills. Cap pilot.
My alts are the following:
Masque Blanc (main alt) û Orca pilot/Back up Freighter pilot Niles DeBeers (trade alt) Alt Interupted (trade alt) BeBop Lula (trade alt)
Chapter 8 - Exit Strategy
I plan to put up the collateral of one Thanatos Carrier located in Placid low sec. This along with fittings/rigs is worth approx. 1B and will be sold if I default or am not available.
Note û This still need to be arranged with a trusted player so if any of the MD regulars wish to volunteer then please contact me.
At the end of the three month period, unsold goods will be sold to the corporation at purchase cost and the bonds repaid. Options for the follow up bond will be given to the 1st Issue bond holders first.
Chapter 9 - IPO Phases, Dividends, Market Cap
This bond is being initiated to build a reputation. I could easily raise the 1B isk from trading within 2 months.
The issue will activate once all have been sold and isk received. First dividend will be 1 month after.
Total Number of bonds 10
Price Per bond (Max one bond per player) 100M
Dividend Schedule Monthly
Total Dividend Payment 300,000,000
Projected Return per Dividend Payment(%) 10.0%
Special Dividends I expect that trading will go well so if the bond generates double or triple the initial investment then I will issue special dividends of 15% at NAV of 1 B and 15% at NAV at 2 B. |

Chapter 9 - FAQ
Q: Is there any risk?
If the price of the Thanatos drops then there is some risk but otherwise no risk.
Q: How do you know you'll be successful?
If you track my purchases in the sale forums you will see that IÆve been slowing increasing my isk purchases over the last year. This should indicate that I know what IÆm doing.
Q: Do you intend to have an audit done at some point?
Because there is no risk, I donÆt see the need for an audit. But if there is a general call for such an audit then I will submit.
Q: CouldnÆt you borrow the money from EBank?
Yes I could but then I would only have a reputation with EBank. IÆm doing this partly for reputation and partly for fun.
Q What do you plan to do with this reputation?
This should be the first bond of a series. The eventual plan is to move from faction resale to officer resale. Such goods move slower so more money will need to be tied into stock.
Q WhatÆs this about tech 3 invention interfaces?
If you look closely at my forum posts you will notice that last year I speculated that the alien race interfaces will be required in tech 3 invention. I purchased about 2B isk in such interfaces and attempted to sell them based on this speculation with little success. If such items are to be used in tech 3, I am sitting on a lot of valuable items. If they are not, I have 2B of goods that will probably only sell for a tenth of that price.

Edited by: Trading Bunnz on 09/01/2009 17:19:46 Provided the collateral goes to someone *I* trust, I'll take the lot.
(yes, i read your comment about 1 bond, but you can have this start right now)
Hmm. Even a fitted thanatos is not likely to run to 1b. Find 100% collateral and we have a deal. :) |

I would be interested in getting in on this action if collateral was held by an MD regular. Would you allow more than one individual to get in on the action? lol Like maybe 100 or 200 mil worth, I guess. |

Edited by: Damien Jax on 09/01/2009 19:09:11 I'll get in on it as well for whatever's leftover. If no one else comes forward, I'll hold the collateral in my alt corp.
*edit - While this offering is generally more safe than others with no collateral, I think an audit would still be in your best interest for future offerings. An audit now can be compared to an audit in the future to see if there's been consistencies in what you've done.
ALso, in future offerings, I'm sure you'll be asking more than what you can put up for collateral, so a good history of audits would also benefit you. Likewise, I can run an audit if you'd like. |

I would like to reserve a bond - provided a respected MD regular agrees to hold the Capital and an audit is carried out. ISK will be sent once the regular posts to confirm they are in possession of the collateral.

one 100M Bond per person. I want to build a rep in MD with multiple people not just one.
Bobby are you say that you are willing to hold the thanatos for the three months as collateral for the issue or are you saying you are willing to hold the thanatos for 1 billion.

Bobby holds onto the ship I'm in for 100m
I'd suggest setting up a system where the isk is wired to him and then you contract it to him for the required amount. |

Ok. We need:
An official list of bond reservations from the OP. Then you can send me (this char) the isk. The OP puts the collateral item(s) up on contracts assigned to me for 1 billion, I will accept the contract and thus the deal is done. At the end of the bond period, the OP will then return the 1 billion to me in exchange for the collateral with a contract in the same way (just reversed). I will then return the invested isk to all parties on the official list.
I would advise against anyone trading their bond entitlement to anyone else during the 3 months, as that's likely to end in confusion.
Interest payments will have to be dealt with by the OP (I'm not interested in doing ALL the work) and if anyone finds they are missing a payment at any time then they should contact me as well as the OP.
I had hoped to make a little more than 30m out of this, but hey ho! If it's for the good of the MD community then I won't complain... too much!
Anyone having any reservations about me handling the isk/collateral should look up my past activities on MD and my 7 billion isk IPO that is currently returning 14%+ monthly returns, if I'm a scammer then I'm a very poor one that works very hard to make his marks lots of isk. |

I'd like to reserve 1 bond for 100m isk. Reservation is because i need confirmation form your part if the money is to be sent to the trusted Party. As soon as you state if this is the fact i'll finalize the purchase.
