Contract Finance: Investor needed?

Question

Does anyone know an Angel Investor intrested in investing in a US government contract?

My company Free&Ben Inc. had just won a contract worth $5,358,000.00 to deliver 50,000 plastic sheeting to FEMA. See fema website for prove of the contract: http://www.fbo.gov/servlet/Documents/R/1437273

Answer 2

I believe the wall you're hitting is Vietnam not being a member of the WTO yet. Until that happens, it's cowboy capitalism in Vietnam. Unless you're a large international corporation, you're probably going to get screwed by the VN government with payoffs and bribes. Any prudent investor will shun away from that environment.

You may want to consider having the business angels back your company instead of the VN company and then you send the money to Vietnam. It's a big risk for you, but probably the fastest way to get your financial backing if you think this deal is going to fly.
