Starting a business for anyone can be a daunting process. I knew that I
would need funding, but more importantly, that I would need assistance through mentorship or coaching.
The discovery of the Virgin startup loan was a
breath of fresh air because they offered all I needed for my new
business.
In keeping with the Virgin brand, the loan and mentorship seem quite
accessible and the application process straightforward.
The website boasts many success stories- businesses who they've helped SO
I worked extremely hard on my idea and product to get it to a reasonable
level so that I wouldn't have any issues when it came to communicating
the idea.
In my head, the Virgin's brand is one of trust and inclusion so at least
I thought that at minimum they would give me the time of day and maybe
even point me in the right direction.
At best- I thought that I too
would access some good mentorship support to finally turn my long-time
business ambitions into reality.
I was not prepared for what would happen next. After completing the
fairly straightforward form and waited patiently- this was the response
I received.
Note: Undertaken a significant amount of work with another start-up provider, meaning that they cannot work with you.Of course, this is a mistake (and no one knew it better that I did) so I wrote an email back to the senders and explained that they've got it wrong and that I haven't received any other funding and that I have been preparing my idea for a long time to approach Virgin start-up loan.
Being a "for the people" brand, I thought that they would
have responded and acknowledge their mistakes, but even after weeks I
still haven't heard a single word from anyone.
I mean- I would understand if they told me that my application was
unsuccessful for a valid reason. But for them to tell me that I already had funding from another organisation and to refuse me on that
ground- is nothing short of a ridicule.
I think by anyone's standards-
that is just wrong!
Thinking that I might have ticked a field on the application form incorrectly, I completed another one and guess what, the same
autoresponder spat out the same email a few days later.
What worries me most about these organisations is that the people making these snap judgements might themselves be happy in a day job (not to undermine a day job) so they probably don't appreciate the level of passion and efforts that entrepreneurs like myself exert in their business idea.
What worries me most about these organisations is that the people making these snap judgements might themselves be happy in a day job (not to undermine a day job) so they probably don't appreciate the level of passion and efforts that entrepreneurs like myself exert in their business idea.
They probably don't appreciate that it took me over 10
years to develop the skills and accumulate the knowledge that am
bringing to this business.
In any case, it's unfair and give false hope to people like myself who
may see these schemes as an option, just to be let down on the grounds
of a make-up reason.
It seems like someone decided to send the most
suitable email as part of their decision making process.
Being the defiant entrepreneur that I am, I've now resorted to other
options and am now paying for coaching with the intention of approaching
a more reputable organisation.
I sense that other people out there might
have experienced the same thing as well but they might not want to upset the super-power! In any case, I would advise people exploring funding options, not to put
their eggs in one basket and don't assume that you will be treated
fairly, regardless of what their website or press releases might says.
The other thing is that they don't have a telephone number and don't
assume that they will answer your emails either. I have recently learnt of other others that includes Crowdfunding platforms.

ReplyDeleteHello everyone, I'm Patricia Sherman in Oklahoma USA right now. I would like to share with you my experience of borrowing USD $185,000.00 to clear my bank draft and start a new business. It all started when I lost my house and I took my stuff because of the bank policy and I met some bills and some personal needs. So I became very desperate and started looking for funds in every way. Fortunately for me, a friend of mine, Linda told me about a credit company firm, I was intrigued by the fraud, but I was intrigued by my situation and had no choice but to get advice from my friend about this company. contacting them really doubted me because of my past experience with online lenders, did you know that little? '' Elegantloanfirm@hotmail.com This company has been very helpful to me and my colleague and today, thanks to this credit company, the proud owner of well-organized work and responsibilities, they smiled back at me. So if you really need to grow or start your own business, or if you really need to borrow money in any financial hardship, we recommend you find a financial development opportunity in your business today. {E-mail:} Elegantloanfirm@hotmail.com / whats-app number +393511617486.... online for credit not a victim of scam Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAccording to an international finance group, agriculture is a major source of livelihood throughout the world, especially for the majority of poor people living in rural areas in developing countries. A key challenge for the majority of these farmers is access to finance. Lack of access to finance is a key impediment to farmers in improving the efficiency of their productions and adopting better technologies. So, to have a better understanding about agricultural finance is a very important thing to the farmers or other people that may relate to it in their daily life. So that, after reading this artikel, we may have the understanding about the financial concepts and the practical applications of finance that is essential for anyone, especially the important managerial problems in agriculture that involve finance.
