Strategy
We currently employ approximately 150 people in Virginia, Maryland and D.C.
Our mission is simple: Create profits.
How we do it is what makes us unique.
Our President, Rick Rahim, has a proven track record of taking raw business ideas and transforming mere concepts into real, multimillion dollar businesses. Rick most recently sold his four-year old startup company to a large publicly traded company in April of 2005. The transaction was valued at $23.3 million. This was accomplished without outside investors, bank loans, or venture capital.
Our primary focus is on eCommerce, because we believe doing business on the Internet offers the most efficient and profitable opportunities. However, we also believe in diversification. For that reason, we manage other types of investments ranging from our real estate portfolio to our "angel" and venture capital investments in other companies. We can also fund bridge loans and factor accounts receivable depending on the dollar amount and risk factor.
Simply put, we have assembled an exceptional management team and coupled them with a technologically advanced back office. The technology and talented people in our call center enable us to operate multiple businesses while sharing common back-office functions. This enables us to realize efficiencies across our portfolio of online businesses. The end result means greater profits.
We are often able to acquire (or build from scratch) smaller, niche-type websites being operated profitably by sole proprietors. These smaller companies may be underfunded, or simply lack other important resources required to grow their revenue. Using a rollup strategy, we can acquire these companies and then operate them more efficiently by integrating them into our umbrella organization.
Independently, these businesses were unable to afford expensive IVR phone systems, a substantial marketing budget, a staff of customer service agents, in-house web developers, employee health insurance, cheaper long distance rates, an accounting team, etc. But under our umbrella, these small sites receive an instant boost from our systems, management expertise, and proprietary marketing methods. Our economy of scale instantly increases the profit margin of acquired companies. And then, our marketing machine takes over to explode the acquired company and take it to the next level...
