We've got to think about equal opportunities you know. It should be Fayz that is doing the dishes, with Geri asking him how he gets them so clean etc....

Amazing Idea and after an initial airlift you can build your own factory in Dubai. Labor is cheap and there is lot of construction equipment around which you guys could rent for cheap. Think about it: it would be the cleanest factory around and you will be saying on jet fuel for all those air lifts which you no longer would need to make!

I'll be interesed in purchasing a few shares myself (let me know in advance of the IPO - as a fellow DFer). Next market research; which financial market to list the company on?

HAHAHAHA you guys are a riot, I'd rather have Cathrine Zeta Jones or better yet Jennifer Connely as my wife over Jessica Simpson and forget commercials 30 min infomercial and hire DK to put a bunch of old cars with giant scouring pads on them with signs saying NEW on the roads of DXB.

Audrey, I did try Daiso but no luck.

You guys have come up with some great ideas and things to think about.
I will discuss this further with my business partner.

Fayz, of course we would take into account who you would prefer as your on-screen wife. An infomercial is also a good idea - but are you sure thats not just so that you can spend more time with CZJ??

You cant blame Fayzy Zoots , CZJ is rarher lush.

Conc has raised a good point, we need another partner who specialises in company floatations in helping to take Scourer's R Us Public. There will be riots at DIFC on launch day.

We could attach 000's of Scourers to the outside of DIFC, and have Flags in the shape of Scourer's flying the whole length of the SZR and from the top of the Trade Centre.

Erm, is that in GBP, AED or Zimbabwean Dollars
($1m ZWD = £5.79 or 38 dhs !!)

How did you know i was going to list Scourers' R US on the Zimbabwean Stock Exchange ??

Just a hunch!!
I could easily justify an investment of, say, $1.2m ZWD into share capital - I could stretch to that!

Bugga Zoots i was hoping you could stretch to $3m ZWD.

Would you consider raising the extra finance ?

I'll just tap it into my trusty calculator - hang on!

Hmmm, well if I take into account the $10k that you owe me, I think I could just stretch to $3m ZWD. Might have to get a loan out. Do you think the bank would take my hole punch and highlighter pen as collateral?

Actually though, I might need the highlighter pens - for the graphs - they are a good match (colour wise) for the scouring pads!

The bank will be no problem, in fact rather than do a business plan for your loan app, i would just print off this thread.

Maybe just maybe the bank would be so impressed, your bank manager may refer this to the bank's Board and we may get them on board as investors as well

I would only offer your Stapler as "security" Zoots.

Well, I stole my stapler off another member of staff - will this count against me??

You may be right though - no need for a business plan - this thread is more than proof that:

a) A market exists for the product
b) We have done extensive research into the potential market
c) The zimbabwean dollar is by far the most stable currency for us to trade under
d) We have substantial local support from Fayz and the wider DF community
e) The scouring pads come in an impressive range of colours to suit your mood

A excellent summary Zoots

Now all we need is our Events Director - where is DK when you need him??

I seen him log in last nite, but he didnt post. I think he may have seen our cunning plan and his excitement at the prospect of "eventing" this may have knocked him out.

Yes, hopefully he is using his time away from the forum to formulate some ideas and get the creative juices flowing - we need some top ideas to get this off the ground straightaway! We need to strike whilst the iron's hot!

Deffo

But ohhh not too hot an iron, it may melt the Scourer's

arniegang wrote:Deffo

Ahh yes - I was forgetting - they are plastic!! Hmmm, well we'll just strike whilst the iron is luke-warm then!

Cool

Ok, so we just need our Events Director, DK, and we are all ready to start sourcing suppliers and do the grand launch in Dubai!

Do you think suppliers will be happy to accept Zimbabwean Dollars as payment??

DK will be "on board" soon i hope.

No probs with the currency issue Zoots, I emailed the National Bank of Zimbabwee and they can supply "containers" of Currency to be shipped anywhere in the world.

In fact they stated they actually book the whole container ship, and can birth at Jebel Ali for 2 years while the currency is counted. We may need to employ a few thousand immigrant workers to do the counting though ( with armed guards in attendance obviously)

Good Good - nice to see that the finances will soon be in place. How many packs of the colourful Plastic Scouring Pads do you think we'll be able to purchase with a ship load of money from Zimbabwe?

WHAT?!?!?!?!?
They sell them in Dubai??? Where???? Do tell us more, because there aren't any in Dubai (apparently).

Arnie - have you seen this??? Our plans may have been scuppered by EJ!

Its a scam Zooter - dont respond

I think EJ has shown her dad and they are trying to muscle in on our business plan. I think they are trying to put us off.

I'm really surprised. I didn't think EJ was like that - I thought she was a nice sweet girl. I'm disappointed!

We'll just keep quiet about any more of our plans then until we get DK on board to organise the launch event.

Any news from Zimbabwe National Bank?? Or was it National Bank of Zimbabwe?
