Fidelity Investments

[Judgement 90]

Fidelity Investments:

Our Vision:
In Identity, a game full of possibilities, actions will display the type of character you are.
Whether you help a woman asking for money or rob a person, these actions define our characteristics.
It is our honor to announce this Brokerage Firm, Fidelity Investments, as the first Brokerage Firm in Identity.
It is in our minds that businesses and corporations will lack the required resources to reach their full potential.
This is where we come in.
We will be a 24/7 Brokerage Firm looking to invest in Businesses and Companies that are or show potential of becoming successful and help if they are lacking resources or money to doing so.
Money will be an object in Identity; everything you want, see or look at has a price tag.
Whether that be businesses looking to transport goods/services or security corporations in need of weapons to ensure safety.
We're here to help.

What We Will Do:
The Firm will seek out and speak to the successful and potentially successful businesses/companies and offer our support if they want it.
We will invest in companies and businesses to ensure maximal profit for them and us while helping them develop further and expand at the same time.
We will use our knowledge of interpersonal, linguistic and logical intelligence to help give them advice and good business/marketing techniques and strategies.
We will be devoted to our customers and keep a confidentiality agreement, if wanted, between us and the company/business we invested in so we will not disclose any information.

CEO's Letter: (Judgement)
Good Day Citizens,
It is to my knowledge that you are reading this thread because you are interested or curious about this Firm.
I would like to say, time is a gateway to success. 
One man makes a majority, if we rise together we will become successful.
Don't look at yourself thinking you're 1 person, you're not.
You're someone.
Someone that can rise to success whether they are alone or not.
There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar.
So how come some people are living in poverty or are broke?
It is not our goal to make money but to help others.

I think your biggest problem here is that you are not starting small. You have a huge chain of command in place, yet no one to fill it. No one wants to start at the bottom of a small company. If you want anyone to partner with you, at least at the start, you will have to treat (and pay) them as equals.

 

You are also attempting to start an investment firm when there is little to no investment market. People are not selling equity in their companies as of this moment. Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are also not being sold at this moment. Not to mention you haven't named a source of initial capital for your business.

 

When the game is more developed, this could be a great idea, at the moment however, I think you're going to have a difficult time finding companies to invest into.

1) I'll be reaching out to people who want to be apart of this and I have a lot of friends interested too. My plan is to set everyone who applies to the department which they want to be in and the lowest rank first regardless of application then in game they will earn towards their rank by contributing and reading how to advance up the chain of command. This way they all get a fair and equal start so it's not just first come fist serve. 

2) Later on as the game advances stocks, bonds and mutual funds will be sold. This firm is giving us time to prepare for them and help our future employees be the best they can and our current source of money is from the packages and when the game releases later on we will earn it.

Definitely an option for whoever that wants to sign up to an existing company. As the game has a high chance of becoming viral and trendy, it is a good opportunity for people to join something that will be hard to join after the game's release. 

 

So far I think this will be quite the successful company, however it would help a lot as @uncannierlink mentioned, to easy down a bit on the commands and ranks and help people get set in.

Ah, Judgement good luck, and make sure we don't have to watch you..

The Chain of Command may be simplified as the game releases but we want to make this firm as realistic as possible.

My point is that no one wants to start at the bottom. People don't want the game to be a job. Everyone wants to be the boss, (hence why you see people STILL starting more private security corps). If you can actually find people who are willing going to grind for your profit, that's great, however those people are few and far between.

 

You don't know that people will start selling equity. We don't even know if people are assigning equity in their companies. As far as I'm aware, every company founder holds 100% of the equity and everyone else is just working for a % of profits. I think if it does happen this is a great idea, however, I think that investment bureau's acting as angel investors is incredibly risky, and I fear for the people who's money you are investing.

[Turaxis 51]

I think you start to think way too big, long time before you get it all started, and to do so is a recipie to crash. However I do like youre idea, but think its wrong for you to hire 45 players.

Who will pay for 45 people, in a company without any income ? 

And same time you want to invest, again with what money ?

My advise to you are, keep youre idea, try invest in what ever you would like to invest in, if or when you have money to it, then start to hire another player, and take it from there, build it up, if you rush it then I serious doubt that it will work. There are no information anywhere (what I found) where you can buy ingame money, you have to earn either through ligit jobs or illigal activities. From there you can start youre company.

If youre plan are to start to invest other peoples money,then it still requiere that they have money to invest with and that is not going to happen from day 1, and you want to hire 45 players ?

Maby I misunderstand youre idea, but I hope you can pull it off, without burn youre fingers, and you actually can pay the people you want to hire, I wish you the best of of luck.

2) All money invested will be the money earned from the Firms current investments and not peoples owns money.

1) We're not getting 45 people in the company. We're starting with 5+ then expanding further. The Chain of Command is an idea of what to become when we have more players.

2) The Income will be from the investments we've done, packages we've got and money we've earned.

3) If you look at the information of the chain of command it gives information about which ranks can invest, not everyone will be investing, nor will it be their money to invest. There will be financial analysts, representatives and more.

3) I hope this clears things up for you.

It depends on the type of investment you want or in need in.

As said on the thread, we'll make sure our investment is within the law but we will invest in potentially successful businesses and companies.

I know a bit but i know that @Makeshift & @Triiz know a lot more and they can go into way more detail but we want to make a successful business selling marijuana we have a lot already set out and we dont see any other business like this. The profit we will be making in this business will be a lot and if you allow this investment at the start i'm sure it will be worth your time.

I'm not 100% if we want to go ahead with this but @Makeshift & @Triiz will confirm if they want to go ahead with this.

It still does not make any sense, you say the money will come from the investments, my question was from where do you get the money to do the investments. Its like youre skipping quite a few steps in youre plan. And then you lost me in the thinking or youre buisness plan.

People are starting with a minimum of ingame dollars, (even the 500 dollars package are limited amount of ingame dollars) its not possible to buy ingame money (at least on how it looks now), so youre investments require that you (and youre Company) have some kind of ingame money to invest with in the first place, witch I can not see how you plan are to get, and same time time you have a scedule of 45 people that you are writing that you want to have under you. Well now you writed 5+ people that you wanted to start to hire, again how will you pay them without any income ?

I belive that alot of people would like to get a loan or investment to start up a buisness at some point, but then we are talking about several 100K ingame dollars for each investment, and then they will need time to pay that back, and I guess with some interest, if you had that money and are prepared to loose those money then ok, but as it is for now it does not make any sense.

If you sayd you wanted to make micro-loans then I think it could be a good buisness, it have been a very profitable buisness in many countrys, by making loan in smaller ammount, without any security, but are charging fairly large interest. Often are people paying back, because its not more than they can afford to make again over some days. (even in real life).

When you or youre company have alot of money then I can see an Idea in youre investment plan.

1) As I've said previously, we're getting money from packages and money we've earned (such as jobs) and we've been reaching out to potentially successful businesses and have already discussed our investments pre-release so when the game releases we'll invest that amount and get a certain interest rate back.

2) We will be starting off with 5+ and then gaining numbers as time advances.

3) We won't be doing huge time investments firstly, we'll start off small-medium then advance as we further advance our firm.
