[May 17] Internet corporate finance site
MoneyZone.com
announced Wednesday the appointment of Fenwick Chapman
Associates as its U.K. affiliate in a significant
overseas expansion of its services.
“Fenwick Chapman will be our eyes and ears in the U.K.,
helping us establish necessary relationships and aggregate
appropriate deal flow,” said Nick Pili, vice president of
MoneyZone.com.
The services offered by MoneyZone.com enable users to
make contact with venture capitalists and investment banks
to fund their business growth and expansion. The site has a
forum where companies can buy and sell businesses,
while helping them find advice on a whole range of financial
and technological issues.
Currently, MoneyZone.com has agreements with eight major
U.K. banks and with over 20 venture capitalists and
investment sources. Within a few weeks, users will be
able to apply online for commercial loans and venture
capital via the site.
Fenwick Chapman Associates has been working with
MoneyZone.com for nearly a year, helping to tailor
the site for U.K. users. Managing Director Clive Warden
characterized the result as “the U.K’s only corporate
finance megasite”.
MoneyZone.com, which is partly owned by Global Capital
Partners, Inc. of North Carolina, has a partnership
with Bloomberg.com to provide interactive content and
features to Bloomberg’s Banking and Loan Center and
Entrepreneur Network.
Promotion of the U.K. site begins later this year, with
a campaign currently being devised by Long Haymes Carr.
