Our Objective

iVentures™ objective in Mergers & Acquisitions is to acquire existing businesses with

turnaround potential. We believe in reengineering deficient business structures to become

value-added businesses in our investment portfolio. We pursue businesses and entrepreneurs

that provide a high return on capital through comprehensive research and analysis on business

plans and fundamentals. Many new businesses fail due to the lack of planning prior to launch, or

the businesses are in a very competitive market.

Our Method

iVentures business methods for acquiring existing businesses are critical to our risk

analysis. We have developed five core business methods that existing businesses must meet

listed below:

Second Life Business Only. Existing businesses must be in Second Life. Real life businesses would not be considered.

Business Plan. No businesses would be considered without a solid business plan in effect.

Time Period of Existence. The business must be at least six months since inception.

Current Financial Statements. The business must submit at least six months of financial statements including all of its subsidiaries (if any).

Established Identity. The existing business must have already established an identity in Second Life. No businesses would be considered with a tarnished image, as the negative perception can be difficult to turn around.

Acquiring a business can be complicated, and involve skills such as assessing the

value of the business, considering the tax implications, and negotiating the sale. iVentures

must first determine whether the business has a solid chance of turning a profit by researching

it carefully and must be even more critical in evaluating the risks.

If your existing business has met the following criteria, please send a Notecard or e-

mail to iVentures Volitant in Contact Us section.
