Finovance Technologies, Inc. Announces the Closing of Initial Funding and Emergence from Stealth Development.
Finovance is transforming access to on-demand growth capital, a new vital source of financing SAN FRANCISCO, CA / Finovance, a leading artificial intelligence “AI” and machine learning “ML” revenue-based financing “RBF” and payments fintech capital provider to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), raised an undisclosed amount in initial seed funding. Backers included Capital Management LLC, Florida Angel Investors LLC, and individual investors. Finovance will use the funds to expand operations and add additional financing offerings to empower SMBs to better manage their working capital needs as well as visualize their own financial data. Finovance has spent over two years developing its innovative and proprietary technology stack and recently emerged from stealth mode to debut www.Finovance.com. Finovance is positioned as an alternative financing solution to traditional banks, private equity, and/or venture capital financing. By providing SMB businesses with non-dilutive, revenue-based financing for working capital or growth financing based on the company’s future revenue generation with clear pricing and terms and conditions, Finovance has materially simplified the process with a highly automated experience, ensuring rapid underwriting and access to capital. Finovance’s mission is to empower SMBs and SAAS companies to propel their business forward by converting their future revenues into upfront capital today, at the click of a button. The process is simple, no equity dilution, no personal guarantees, and no compounding interest, with capital repayment based on future revenues. Unlike legacy banks or more traditional sources of funding, Finovance’s fast, data-driven AI and ML models allow businesses to access funds within hours or days. Finovance state-of-the-art, decision algorithms, allow business owners to raise capital when they need it on a “just-in-time” basis between $50k and $5.0 million, at low monthly flat fees. Businesses can select their repayment periods ranging from 3 months to 60 months, subject to business profile. Terms and conditions are all written in plain language, ensuring transparency and fairness. “We have created a really powerful AI-based platform, offering an efficient banking alternative experience. We want to go beyond existing fintech’s or bank offerings today, and introduce a nearly 100% automated AI-based onboarding process of securing growth and working capital financing for growing companies,” said co-CEO Craig Schmeizer, who with co founders Gavin Conway and Manuel Henriquez was inspired to start Finovance after encountering a challenging path to securing growth capital for a prior e-commerce startup which grew from $0 revenues to approximately $700 million in four years. “There is no reason SMBs need to be subjected to a long tedious, manual, stressful, and frustrating loan request process that can take 45-120 days. We do not want any SMB to have to experience that ever again,” added Schmeizer. “SMBs and innovative high growth SAAS companies are adopting innovative technologies, innovating, and evolving faster more rapidly than ever before, but their legacy banks are not keeping up and still take months for credit approvals in nearly all paper-based processes. We launched Finovance, to help transform how SMBs are able to access capital with quicker innovative decisioning and funding process. Legacy banks do not really understand the needs of SMBs or entrepreneurs, and their dated infrastructure is not up to the standards needed to help their business grow. It is not surprising that in our research, an overwhelming majority of business owners say they are frustrated with their existing bank’s processes and offerings,” Manuel Henriquez, co-founder of Finovance, added. The Company has offices in New York, London, San Francisco, Dubai, and Orlando. About Finovance Finovance, founded in 2020, with offices in New York, London, San Francisco, Dubai, and Orlando, Finovance is a technology-powered FinTech capital provider, pioneering use of human-assisted artificial intelligence “AI” and machine learning “ML” technologies With its proprietary technology and suite of integrated APIs technology, Finovance enables businesses to instantly secure funding with initial pre-a. ovals nearly in real-time allowing entrepreneurs access to capital in a fast and efficient way.

Business Broker Firm WebsiteClosers.com Announces the Successful Sale of an Online Business
Baymark Partners Worked with WebsiteClosers.com to Purchase the eCommerce Business Nelly’s Security GUAYNABO, PUERTO RICO / WebsiteClosers.com, a leading business broker firm, is pleased to announce the successful sale of an online business. The acquisition of Nelly’s Security was completed by David Hook of Baymark Partners, and was purchased from Sean Nelson. The specific terms of the deal are not being disclosed due to confidentiality reasons. Nate Lind, Business Broker and M&A Advisor with Website Closers, managed the sell-side for the transaction, starting with valuing the company through the due diligence process, all the way to the successful closing. “From the time Sean and I first spoke I knew his company would get a lot of attention,” Lind said, adding that he started by providing his client with a free business valuation. Lind’s hunch about Nelly’s Security was correct. “We had 59 buyers reach out about his business. I had 187 email threads, phone calls, and touch points between me and these 59 buyers. I prescreened the buyers before we started talking with them,” Lind noted. Nelly’s Security, which was launched 14 years ago, provides customers with a host of security products. The highly profitable eCommerce business has built up a strong B2B customer base for its home security systems. The company has taken full advantage of a robust security market to sell its security cameras, alarms and access control devices to professional installers, and assisting homeowners and business owners in getting the most modern protections for their properties. As Nelson noted, prior to contacting WebsiteClosers.com, he tried unsuccessfully to work with local brokers in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. “Nate was much more knowledgeable than previous brokers I’ve worked with in the past. I was very impressed with Nate’s knowledge of and understanding of the financial documents,” Nelson said, adding that Lind valued the company at a much higher amount than Nelson was expecting. Hook said the entire transaction went smoothly from start to finish. “Baymark Partners has worked with Website Closers for several years and when we found Nelly’s Security on their platform, we were excited to pursue it,” Hook said. “Working with Nate Lind from Website Closers has been a pleasure. He’s logical, easy going, and advocates for solid buyers like us to their clientele so the transaction doesn’t become hostile.” Business Broker and M&A Advisor Contact Nate LindContact Me Form Media Contact: Nate Lindnate@natelind.com787-299-9222 ABOUT WEBSITE CLOSERS As one of the world’s largest Full Service Tech & Internet M&A Firms, Website Closers is dedicated to providing M&A Services to a wide range of private companies from as small as $1 Million to as large as $1 Billion across the globe, including Technology, Software, Internet, eCommerce, Amazon and other Digital companies.

Arkansas Passes Legal Tender Act, Removes Taxes on Gold and Silver
Arkansas Governor Signs Senate Bill 1718, Reaffirming Gold and Silver as Legal Tender and Removing All Tax Liability from the Monetary Metals Little Rock, AR / Sound money advocates are rejoicing as House Bill 1718, the Arkansas Legal Tender Act has become the law in the Natural State. Backed by the Sound Money Defense League, Money Metals Exchange, and sound money advocates and supporters throughout the state, HB 1718 reaffirms gold and silver as legal tender, as well as ends all taxes on purchase, sale, or exchange of specie, including state capital gains taxes. The Arkansas Legal Tender Act, introduced by Rep. Robin Lundstrum (R – 18) and Sen. Jonathan Dismang (R – 18), passed overwhelmingly out of the House by a vote of 82-8, passed unanimously out of the Senate with a 32-0 vote, and ultimately received Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ signature on April 11. Specie is defined as “Coin having gold or silver content; or refined gold or silver bullion that is coined, stamped, or imprinted with its weight and purity; and valued primarily based on its metal content not its form.” The measure continues, “Specie or legal tender shall not be characterized as personal property for taxation or regulatory purposes.” To remove any doubt of the legislature’s intent, HB 1718 explicitly states, “the exchange of one type or form of legal tender for another type or form of legal tender shall not give rise to any tax liability,” and, “the purchase, sale, or exchange of any type or form of specie shall not give rise to any tax liability.” This measure builds on momentum on sound money from previous Arkansas legislative sessions. With strong support from the Sound Money Defense League and grassroots activists, Arkansas passed SB 336 in 2021, ending state sales taxes on purchases of gold and silver. Now, with the passage of HB 1718, Arkansas becomes the 11th state also to end capital gains taxes as applied to the sale of gold and silver (with some of those states simply having no income taxes in the first place). Ending income / capital gains taxes on precious metals sales is becoming more popular. Understandably so, considering that if taxpayers own gold or silver to protect themselves against the devaluation of America’s paper currency, thanks to the inflationary practices of the Federal Reserve, they frequently end up with a nominal “gain” when exchanging those metals back into dollars. However, such gains are not necessarily a real in terms of translating to an actual increase in purchasing power. This “gain” is often a nominal gain because of the slow but steady devaluation of the Federal Reserve note dollar. Yet the government nevertheless assesses a tax. Under HB 1718, the era of taxing gold and silver in Arkansas has come to an end. In 2023, bills to restore sound, constitutional money have also been introduced in Alaska, Iowa, West Virginia, South Carolina, Missouri, Minnesota, Tennessee, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Kansas, and more. These measures would end taxes on the metals, reaffirm gold and silver as money, establish in-state depositories, enable State Treasurers to invest state funds in the metals, and more. “States all over the country are waking up to the precarious condition of America’s money. Arkansas is helping lead the way in defending and restoring sound money, as well as removing the disincentives for citizens to protect themselves from the inflation and financial turmoil that flows from the Federal Reserve System,” said Jp Cortez, policy director of the Sound Money Defense League. Currently Arkansas is ranked 30th out of 50 in the 2023 Sound Money Index. Passage of this measure will increase the state’s ranking dramatically. The Sound Money Defense League is a non-partisan public policy group working nationally to restore sound money at the state and federal level and publisher of the Sound Money Index. Recently named “Best Overall” gold and silver dealer in the United States by Investopedia, Money Metals Exchange serves almost 500,000 customers nationwide. A family-owned Idaho business founded in 2010, it also operates Money Metals Depository for vaulting of gold and silver and Money Metals Capital Group, a collateral lending institution.

Three Congressmen Introduce Gold Standard Bill to Stabilize the Dollar’s Value
Washington, D.C. / As America faces the twin threats of inflation and bank failures, three U.S. congressmen introduced a pivotal sound money bill that would enable the Federal Reserve note “dollar” to regain stable footing for the first time in more than half a century. Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) – joined by Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) – introduced H.R. 2435, the “Gold Standard Restoration Act,” to facilitate the repegging of the volatile Federal Reserve note to a fixed weight of gold bullion. Upon passage of H.R. 2435, the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve are given 24 months to publicly disclose all gold holdings and gold transactions, after which time the Federal Reserve note “dollar” would be formally repegged to a fixed weight of gold at its then-market price. Federal Reserve notes would become fully redeemable for and exchangeable with gold at the new price, with the U.S. Treasury and its gold reserves backstopping Federal Reserve Banks as guarantor. Monetary experts have noted a return to a gold standard would substantially curtail the economic damage caused by inflation, runaway federal debt, and monetary system instability. “A gold standard would protect against Washington’s irresponsible spending habits and the creation of money out of thin air,” said Rep. Mooney in a statement. “Prices would be shaped by economics rather than the instincts of bureaucrats. No longer would American families, businesses, and the economy as a whole be at the mercy of the Federal Reserve and reckless Washington spenders.” The Gold Standard Restoration Act also makes several findings as to the harm the Federal Reserve System has inflicted on everyday Americans – particularly since President Richard Nixon “temporarily suspended” gold backing of America’s monetary system in 1971. H.R. 2435 points out: “The Federal Reserve note has lost more than 40 percent of its purchasing power since 2000, and 97 percent of its purchasing power since the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913.” Historians have observed that the elimination of gold redeemability from the monetary system freed central bankers and federal government officials from accountability when they expand the money supply, fund government deficits though trillion-dollar bond purchases, or otherwise manipulate the economy. “At times, including 2021 and 2022, Federal Reserve actions helped create inflation rates of 8 percent or higher, increasing the cost of living for many Americans to untenable levels…enrich[ing] the owners of financial assets while… endanger[ing] the jobs, wages, and savings of blue-collar workers,” H.R. 2435 states. Notably, Rep. Mooney’s bill would also require full disclosure of all central bank and U.S. government gold holdings and gold-related financial transactions over the last 6 decades – a seemingly taboo subject surrounded by mystery and deception. “To enable the market and market participants to arrive at the fixed Federal Reserve note dollar-gold parity in an orderly fashion… the Secretary and the Federal Reserve shall each make publicly available… all holdings of gold, with a report of any purchases, sales, swaps, leases, and any other financial transactions involving gold, since the temporary suspension in August 15th, 1971, of gold redeemability obligations under the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944.” In the years leading up to Nixon’s panicked “temporary suspension” of gold redeemability, abusive U.S. deficit spending and currency debasement had prompted many foreign central banks to turn in their Federal Reserve notes for gold. However, this disgorgement of America’s gold holdings was largely conducted in secret. That’s why H.R. 2435 also requires the Fed and the Treasury to disclose “all records pertaining to redemptions and transfers of United States gold in the 10 years preceding the temporary suspension in August 15, 1971, of gold redeemability obligations.” U.S. sound money groups and industry leaders are cheering Mooney’s actions. “Government cannot continue to spend and print on a massive scale without producing existential threats to the currency and our economy,” said Lawrence W. Reed, president emeritus of the Foundation for Economic Education. “The gold standard never failed America, bad ideas and bad politicians did. If we do nothing, disaster awaits us just as it drowned earlier civilizations that spent and inflated their way to ruin,” Reed continued. “Today’s debt-based fiat-money system serves primarily to support big government and wealthy financial insiders – while the Federal Reserve’s serial policy of currency debasement punishes savers and wage earners,” explained Stefan Gleason, President of the Sound Money Defense League and Money Metals Exchange. “A return to gold redeemability would arrest the problem of inflation, restrain the growth of wasteful and inefficient government, and kick off an exciting new era of American prosperity,” Gleason concluded. The full text of Rep. Mooney’s gold standard bill can be found here. It was introduced on March 30, 2023, and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.

Author Roger Croft Releases His Newest Spy Novel ‘Treachery on the Nile’
“Treachery on the Nile” is the Sixth and Final Book in the Popular Michael Vaux Series TORONTO, ONTARIO/ Author Roger Croft is pleased to announce the launch of his newest spy novel, “Treachery on the Nile.” The book is the sixth and final novel in the popular Michael Vaux series. To learn more about “Treachery on the Nile,” which can be purchased on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and at Books a Million, please visit https://rogercroft.com. As Croft noted, former newsman and occasional MI6 agent Michael Vaux has survived an assassination attempt and is planning on a long period of rehabilitation. “But the spymasters at Vauxhall Cross, the London HQ of Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service, have learned of a military plot to overthrow the pro-West regime of Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. The conspirators are to finalize their planning on a Nile pleasure craft and MI6 hits on the idea of sending Vaux on a recuperative trip up the Nile on the same boat.” Vaux is told that he is being sent on a “recuperative” cruise up the Nile. By social contact and shipboard friendships his MI6 runners think it inevitable that he will soon learn more about the timing and details of the coup so that it can be aborted by any means possible. Vaux quickly discovers from a motley crew of sub-agents and a careless army co-conspirator the details of the plot; and has mixed feelings about whether the coup would not be all that bad for the long-suffering Egyptian people. As this excerpt makes clear, “Treachery on the Nile” is a fast-paced and exciting story that will appeal to fans of spy novels and stories of intrigue from start to finish. “The two men stepped on to the narrow starboard deck. There was a mild breeze, just enough to see the lateen sails billowing gently as they powered the dahabiyathrough the moonlit western desert. “Both men leaned over the wooden handrail and gazed into the scudding, murky water as the vessel headed swiftly south. Small islands of scrub and felled palm trees flitted by and they heard the odd squawk of wildfowl as perhaps the night’s slumber had been rudely disturbed. “Vaux said, ‘Okay. Tell me what this is all about.’ “Simcoe fished a packet of ‘Cleopatra’from his pocket, then a classic Ronson lighter. He offered Vaux a cigarette. Vaux shook his head. Simcoe lit up and quickly dispelled smoke from the side of his mouth. “‘You must have noticed that clique of military men. They were there at dinner. That fellow who looks like President al-Sisi’s twin brother and had the gall to whisk Anne away to see his big presidential cabin, or whatever he called it, is an army man if ever I saw one.’ “‘Yes, they’re on a sort of sabbatical as far as I could gather. This Himeidi fellow says he hoped the cool Nile evenings will help them relax and discuss some military games that are coming up—or so I understand.’ “‘That’s just it, Westropp. Or should I call you Vaux?’ “‘Don’t be flippant, old man. Get on with your story.’ “‘It’s all a sham. This clique, or whatever we want to call them, are plotting the overthrow of the current Sisi regime. There—as succinct as I can make it.’ “Vaux showed no reaction. ‘Then as a journalist you’re in the right spot at the right time. You’re on the brink of a major scoop and you could be nominated Newsman of the Year.’ “Simcoe shook his head and looked Vaux straight in the eye. ‘Don’t joke Vaux. I’m serious. London wants you to work with me to help expose this conspiracy to overthrow the legitimate government of Egypt.’ “Vaux fell silent. He peered through the moonlit night, his eyes sometimes falling on dim, isolated Bedouin camps and makeshift tents, the outlines of supine camels resting on the ground nearby. At one point, he thought he saw a floodlit minaret surrounded by palms in the middle of nowhere… “So, he thought, the wily puppeteers at Vauxhall Cross had decided on one final and masterly deception to bring him back into the fold…” About Roger Croft Roger Croft was born in Bushey, Hertfordshire, England. Following national service, Croft landed his first job in journalism with London’s Daily Mail where he worked on the City (financial) staff under legendary editor Patrick Sergeant, who taught him the basics of popular journalism. Croft went on to work at a number of other publications and enjoyed a long career before switching gears to write spy novels. Since he quit the grind of daily journalism, Croft has toured the world for novel ideas. For more information, please visit http://www.rogercroft.com.

Tableau Consulting Services Company DEV3LOPCOM, LLC Updates Its Logo and Icon
The New Logo and Icon Better Represent the Services that DEV3LOPCOM, LLC Offers AUSTIN, TX / DEV3LOPCOM, LLC, a top provider of consulting services, data warehousing services and software development, is pleased to announce the launch of its new logo and icon. To learn more about DEV3LOPCOM, LLC and the tableau consulting services that they offer, please visit their website. As Isabelle Garrett, Managing Director of DEV3LOPCOM, LLC noted, she and her team made the decision to retire the old logo and icon, which had been updated in early 2021, because they felt they were not accurately representing the many services that they provide. “We want to make sure that our brand differentiates and reflects our services. Because we are not a D3 focused consultancy, we decided to ‘sunset’ our old logo and transition to the new one,” she said. “The icon for our company’s branding was pulled from the logo itself, which has a font that is reminiscent of a vintage video game and is known as Press Start 2P. But because the D3 icon may be suggestive that we are focused on D3 engagements, we felt it was important to make the adjustments.” Specifically, Garrett said, inside the logo, on the “O” in “DEV3LOP” they wanted to break the symmetrical appearance with a subtle edit and create what appears to be two left (<) and right (>) angle brackets, which are reserved in HTML to identify the opening and closing tags of elements. “By repurposing this design feature from the ‘O,’ we were able to construct what we now refer to as our icon. This approach provided coherence to our logo, and enhanced our brand identity by making it unequivocally clear that we offer web development services, in addition to our data visualization, analysis and management services.

Martin Rust Strategic Advisory Services Inc. Announces the Launch of its Optimize the Moment™ Approach
Optimize the Moment is a Unique Business Approach that Allows Company Leaders to Make Better Decisions and Lead More Effectively OTTAWA, CANADA/ Martin Rust Strategic Advisory Services Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of its Optimize the Moment™ approach. To learn more about Optimize the Moment (OTM) and how it can help business and governmental leaders with crisis management and creating strategic plans in their organization, please visit https://martinrust.ca/optimize-the-moment/. As Martin Rust noted, unanticipated events in geopolitics, markets and the environment can impact organizations in unforeseen ways. To weather these unexpected changes, leaders should recognize the value of making strategic business decisions that will still allow the organization to meet its goals and succeed. Rather than rely on outdated crisis management or other strategic plans when facing unplanned situations, company leaders can utilize the Optimize the Moment approach, and adapt their strategies to the current situation. “Optimize the Moment is completely different because it is a short-term, mission focused approach that relies on data, objective analysis, and pulling a team together to achieve specific objectives,” Rust said, adding that OTM permits leaders to make better decisions and lead more effectively, in the moment. “This approach is critical in the context of a conflict driven world, fraught with seismic shifts in the marketplace, geopolitics, the physical environment, and our families, all of which impact our decisions and the frame through which we view our goals and expectations.” In addition, the OTM approach will help leaders to communicate better with their team in a way that is clear and easy for everyone to understand. This improvement in communication can then help inspire the entire organization to work better together. As Rust notes, employees typically do not see themselves as part of their organization’s strategic plan, and cannot identify how they benefit personally from the plan. With the help of the OTM approach, employees will be placed in empowering and engaging decision-making positions to help improve effectiveness and achieve strategic plan business goals. About Martin Rust Martin Rust is a strategic consultant with a proven approach to inform decision making. He works with organizations, both in Canada and around the world, often at the intersection of geopolitics and corporate goals. For more information, please visit https://martinrust.ca.
