Time & Experience Working For You

There are 73+ million businesses in the world—more than a million new businesses are started every year by people with little or no business experience. Prior to JIAN, and for businesses needing to do without overhead staff or consultants, there were only costly and inefficient means to get a new business plan created, funded, and in transition to becoming a viable entity.

Since 1988, over 1,500,000 successful customers have experienced our commitment to comprehensive, real-world, and easy to use project-specific software, making JIAN the most trusted and respected name in business productivity software tools.

Raising the Consciousness of Business & Business Practices

JIAN is now transforming its products and business model to provide a comprehensive, intelligent, and modular web-based workspace loaded with best-practices building blocks integrated in a step-by-step collaborative system that walks managers through the entire lifecycle of their business—leading the way, bringing timely expertise to every project, enabling them to successfully start, build and run their businesses.

As an investor, you can also make a unique contribution to the world with your insights and ideas that will reach business owners worldwide. While we build these practical tools, we can also infuse them with worldly wisdom and transform the way business is conducted everywhere.

JIAN is a privately held corporation located in northern California.

We have an established operating infrastructure, recognized brands, proprietary content, and strategic partners. For more than 20 years, JIAN has grown its business by reinvesting profit, without any external funding. The small business marketplace has not been interesting to investors—until the recent combustion of entrepreneurship and the Internet.

Additional financing will leverage JIAN's leadership and core competencies into new software and Internet technologies, and enable the development of a broad spectrum of small business tools—fulfilled over the Internet as an open system of interlocking net-native modules. Delivering these tools into this exploding marketplace is a demand needing to be fulfilled immediately.

JIAN's brand awareness and investor recognition promises a successful IPO or acquisition.

How big an investment are you raising?
This first round will be fully subscribed at $4,500,000. Any investment received after we raise the full $4,500,000 will be returned to the investor.

Do you need to raise the full $4,500,000 before you can use any of it?
No. Our Private Placement Memorandum states that we may begin applying the investments right away to building the company.

How many investors are there?
Since we are raising $4,500,000, with a minimum investment of $10,000, we could have as many as 450 investors. Some people could purchase several units, so we could have substantially fewer than 350 investors.

Who can invest in JIAN?
Anyone really... Our Private Placement Memorandum describes the appropriate investor criteria.
