I would like to put together a board of investors “Business Angels” if you like perhaps along the lines of “Dragons Den” whereby they each put up an amount of cash to be held in Escrow and then we invite business owners, budding entrepreneurs and new business owners and inventors to present to the “Investment Board” for investment in their new business.

So if you think you have what it takes – you have some spare cash – please note that the type of investment I am talking about is high risk so the cash we are talking about needs to be money you can afford to lose! However, with a very risky investment the upside can be very high too!

Please contact me on info@in-business.org.uk and let me know your details and we can meet to discuss. I am looking for five investors to begin with so please contact me and I can give you a bit more back ground behind myself.

The firm said it would open between 80 and 90 stores in 2009 in Latin America’s largest country.

Wal-Mart, which opened its first outlet in Brazil in 1995, has 318 stores there and a local workforce of 70,000.

The announcement followed a meeting between the head of the firm’s America division, Craig Herkert, and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Brazil’s economy has expanded in recent months thanks in part to more affordable consumer credit and rising incomes.

Even as retailers are feeling the pinch of a slowdown in the US, many are counting on stronger growth in developing markets in places such as China, Russia and Brazil.
