danger will robinson.

I need to find me a few more investors - mostly as a safety net* but partially as I'm £5k down at the moment with only 3 people left to declare their investment intentions. so could you all have a think. people who are interested in the scene that could spare a grand or two. I'd particularly like to see some metallers and/or industrial types as too many goths spoil the broth... ;)

*a couple of the investors may not be able to do the amount they originally said - which is fine - it's their money after all - everything is a bonus.

(no subject)

ok. now I'm worried. I think I might have to pull the plug on all this as the investors have started dropping like flies. in the past week and a bit I've had 10ks worth of people tell me they might not be able to do their full amount or indeed any at all and 3k completely drop out. why are people leaving it to now when I've started spending money before they tell me these things...

breathe with me...

well today's been up and down.

sorry about my earlier outburst but it was all beginning to crumble infront of my eyes. feeling a little more positive now. I think there's 6-8 weeks till we need money which gives me time to chase up more investment from round and about.

so today:

investor stuff - argh doom gloom. down

people rally round - an extra £2k confirmed - £1k saved from extinction and a whole pile of business plans and investor docs sent out. ace. up.

this afternoon my company stuff arrived. there now exists an ACTUAL company thesubculture (leeds) ltd. woo. up.

decide on a cash tariff bank account with co-op. this will take 10-15 days for them to sort out once I've filled in the forms. this is 2-3 times as long as natwest etc. but it's the account we need. you can pay in cash over a post office counter really cheaply (under half the price of most banks) but 10-15 days! ffs! I have to have this bank account operational before I can even start to apply for the john smith's loan. arse arse arse down.

steven henderson from savills phones. Helen Beckett from TCS is recommending my plan to the board and so basically we have the go ahead. gosh! up and they're willing to remove the clause about me having to pay if things run late and replace it with a £500 pre-completion deposit to be forfitted if I back out. up and completion can occur when the contracts are agreed or just after the loan arrives if that is later - i.e the loan timing isn't an issue up

so. get your arses into gear - there's almost certainly going to be a club for us all to start flapping about and refurbishing in 6-8 weeks. now all you have to do is not spend all your money on crack before then
