In summary, we should implement our business plan and expect to be engaging clients within 90 days of completing our offering. We estimate that we will generate revenue 120 to 180 days after beginning operations.
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in development stage operations and have not generated any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our operations.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
