You posted this on an online forum... exactly what did you think was going to happen? People would shower you with money to fund your business?
No one is going to take you seriously with that website btw. Hire a web designer and do it properly if you want to be taken seriously.

thanked you at first for the laughs but changed it to a fail after seeing your business plan.
I'm so sorry but you don't show the Internet your business plan or rather the lack thereof. Now I'll be able to start my own Asian made alternative to Toms 
Best of luck to your endeavors.  | |

in all honesty tho,
here's a question..
no matter how great your product may be, how can you expect possible investors to take you seriously when people on this forum think its a joke?
your business plan is weak, website presentation is terrible, and how your trying to market it makes me cringe.
if your serious, go back to the drawing board.
Hire a web designer. if you can't , get a job or learn. And get a proper business plan dammit.

Clearly, you've never been involved in a business (any business) to a degree which has taught or opened your eyes to the amount of work involved in simply running a business, yet alone starting one up. So while normally I would suggest you find a job working in the industry of your interests to learn the ropes, the industry and how things work...I suspect it will fall on deaf ears. In the interest of trying to provide you with some useful information and constructive assistance, let us start with the basics:
1) What is your personal experience in the shoe industry?
2) What experience do you have in the textiles industry?
3) What experience do you have with import/exports, and please highlight the types of products you are experienced with?
4) What businesses have you owned in the past? How long did they operate, what were the annual revenues, were they registered and if so under what classification?
Lets start with those ones.
-Dave

-Dave | Thank you Dave, a much more mature response than those posted out there helping me look at things from a different perspective.
I definitely need a mentor, someone who has started up several businesses on their own and with people to help me get going on my very first one. It is like me trying to ride a bike and be falling many times and people laughing at me, without even getting the chance to even gain balance.

I would say thats because you came into this thread and said;
"Can someone buy me a $10,000 road bike I want to start racing"
instead of;
"Can someone help me learn to ride a bike better I want to become a great rider and eventually enter races"  | |

lol don't take it so hard dude i think what everyone is trying to say is you put in effort?
if you did then you're going to need to put a whole lot more work into this.
right now your business looks like chicken scratch and no one clearly understands what it is other than you.
negative comments are really just pieces of advice on things you need to improve on. if you can't take them seriously then you shouldn't be asking for money.
its unfortunate you put out something so unfinished and so unprofessional that you pretty much blew your chance. first impressions are very hard to overcome. good luck and all the best to you hoping you can actually make something out of this and make our jaws drop and become one of those rich asians that shark tank wants to be.
still not sure if this is a troll lol  | |

At least your business plan has the correct sections (of the ones that are there), but you still need to go back to the drawing board.
Your business plan, needs to explain what you need money for, and where/how you plan to spend it. It needs to have a plan on how you plan to re-pay the money, it needs to have a financial analysis of exactly how much it will take to bring your idea to life.
^And this is just a start.
My business (which I still consider within the "start-up" phase), has a business plan that is 40+ pages, and I am not even looking for investors. That plan is just so that I as an owner understand and keep my goals ahead of me.
If you are looking for investment you need to seriously sit down and spend A LOT of time putting together an entire plan outlining the ENTIRE business. Right now you pretty much have absolutely nothing worthy of telling people about.
