THIS IS INTERESTING: I came to this site to look up complaints of fraud, etc., on this company and found plenty oif negative comments, but no one who posted any statements or proof that they had been cheated or ripped off. One poster said that after 7 months he received his grant of $84, 000. Well, that doesn't sound ripped off to me!!! And there must be a timely process for going after these sorts of things, I wouldn't imagine it would happen overnight. If they are writing a business plan (most people in business don't have one) they are helping to LEGITIMIZE your business! $2800 doesn't sound bad to me for a service like that! Most people in "business" aren't incorporated either, and are risking an awful lot AND are losing a lot of revenue through over-taxation . Seems to me that this company offers these kinds of services for struggling business owners, then they are strictly legit. Most businesses fail for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, and LACK OF CAPITAL! Well, duh!, If you're in business and don't really know what you're doing, then wouldn't it make sense to seek some help and consultation? Everyone's afraid of making a bad decision and getting 'ripped-off", so they make an emotional decision to DO NOTHING, and end up failing because of it! MY IMPRESSION FROM THE "COMPLAINTS" ON THIS BOARD IS THAT THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE POSTED BY OTHER BUSINESSES TRYING TO COMPETE AGAINST CORTWELL!!! If you've actually been ripped off or scammed, then show it! Otherwise, I don't believe you!
