He&#8217;s been growing at a tremendous but consistent pace. He started with <a href=\"http:\/\/Smartflix.com\">Smartflix.com<\/a>. It&#8217;s now the world&#8217;s largest how-to video rental store. He then expanded to <a href=\"http:\/\/Heavyink.com\/\">Heavyink.com<\/a> which is poised to become the Amazon.com of comic books (and then some). Both of these companies are functioning and doing well. At last count, I think he&#8217;s got 8 employees or so. HeavyInk is new. He&#8217;d like to expand it. To do this, he needs to add stock and man-power to get it rolling. He&#8217;s looking to borrow money. I personally think this is an excellent opportunity. I&#8217;ve been wanting to invest in this business for a while and I&#8217;m going to try now. I&#8217;ll let him tell you about it:<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;- Start of Snippet &#8212;-<br \/>\nSpeaking of growth: we\u2019d love to borrow somewhere between $100,000 and $500,000. We pay a nice interest rate. If you or someone you know is interested in loaning us funds (min amount is probably $20k or so; minimum term is probably 2+ years), get in touch. References, spreadsheets, accountant-verified books, etc. would, of course, be displayed.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not interested in loaning funds, but are looking to invest, that\u2019s not our first choice, but we can talk. Minimum amount is probably $100-200k.<br \/>\n&#8212;-  End of Snippet  &#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Email me directly at <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lee.org\/lee.png\" align=\"top\" height=\"18\" width=\"82\" \/> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My very good friend Travis has been running a few independent businesses very successfully for the last 4 years or so.
