Sir, I have got your contact from RediffGurus. I approach you to guide me in my present situation. I have more than 30 years experience in export sales and also import procurement. Have been successful in developing new export markets and also importing quality material from abroad at competitive prices. All these activities have been under employment only, Where employers earned a lot, and brought me only wah wah, shabash, but no financial gains. Now I am retired, but still quite active mentally and physically. I have an idea which if backed with right financial background, can be a money spinner . The idea is to deal in metal import export trading. I can source international standard quality copper, aluminium, stainless steel etc., from China and other countries at 20 to 30% below market price. These can be sold to hungry Indian buyers here. I can assure, subject to investment, a profit of approx. Rs. 5 to 10 crore in first year itself. And of course a huge, unlimited market exists for these metals in vast Africa, where I have travelled many times and understand how business is conducted there . Now may I request you to tell me if it is possible to get a silent investor. For security purpose, I am ready to conduct entire business in investor's or his company's name, provided my interests are safe. Wahaj Nuri.

Ans: Dear Wahaj,

Your proposition is definitely sounding interesting, but as you have laid your idea and thoughts randomly here, it is not translating into a viable business. Have you prepared a comprehensive Business Plan? Have you worked on Business Frame work?
I would suggest to complete your offerings on papers, write/overwrite/correct/cut/revise and then bring a conclusive business proposition which none can refuse.
Regards
