Make Money Online Investing in Businesses

If you’ve ever watched a show like Dragons Den or Shark Tank, then you would have seen a brief glimpse into the world of venture capitalism. Many entrepreneurs view the show from the perspective of the business owners, but have you ever wanted to sit in the seats of the Dragons and Sharks instead? What if you could make a steady flow of income that way.

Offering an alternative to investments like the stock market is Uinvest. As we make our way through today’s review, we’ll have a look at how Uinvest is structured, how you can invest in a wide range of businesses, and whether or not you can turn a signficant profit by helping these companies along.

What Is Uinvest?

The main idea behind Uinvest is that you are provided with a platform where you can invest in a range of businesses and, in exchange for your capital investment, you get a share of the profits that the company is then able to generate.

This is a simple way to invest money online, because it only takes a few minutes to create your account and then you can fund it, allocating the money to investment projects that pique your interest. To confirm your ownership of the shares, you will receive shares certificates through regular postal mail. The certificate is protected by a hologram sticker and sealed by the Uinvest director.

How Does It Work?

The best way to understand Uinvest is to watch the video presentation that they have posted on the site.

In short, you browse through the businesses on the site that are offering shares, have a look at the current price of a share, and gauge the monthly return on each share to see if you’d like to invest in that business. After you choose to buy your shares, you start earning a portion of the profits.

When you have earned back the amount of your original principal, that’s when you start turning a profit on your investment. It is only at this point that Uinvest takes a 10% commission on the profits that you earn; they don’t take a cut until you’ve earned back your original investment.

What Businesses Are for Sale?

You can learn more about the businesses after you’ve created an account, but in the meantime, you can see that there are various projects that are seeking funding from investors like you.

By and large, the projects are for infrastructure or brick-and-mortar type businesses, including a chocolate factory, a hotel and entertainment complex, a motor plant, a pasta factory, a restaurant, a casino, a fish cannery, and even gas stations. The price per share ranges considerably, getting as low as about $27 per share and as high as $4,200 per share. The monthly earnings per share is correspondingly higher, of course.

You’ll also notice that each offering has a limited number of shares available. If you can’t decide where you want to invest your money, there is also the Global Uinvest Network, which is currently priced at $1,750 per share.

Why Ukraine?

You may have noticed that Uinvest has a Ukraine-based TLD. While it may have been more desirable to get the simpler and more universal .com domain, Uinvest was created to help people invest in Ukraine and Europe. They feel it is an “opportunity to benefit from a dynamic region with vast natural resources, a friendly business environment and rich intellectual capital.”

Do You Want to Make Money?

As with all other kinds of investments, investing your money in Uinvest projects is going to carry a certain level of risk. It’s quite possible that you’re going to lose money in these transactions, but you could just as easily earn a steady flow of profit through these ventures too. Uinvest says that it carefully reviews each prospective business, screening them for legitimacy and profitability. That pre-screening helps, but the investment decision ultimately lies with you.

How to Jump the Line at Airport Security

The TSA stopped posting average wait times at security checkpoints on its website more than a year ago, but travelers weren't fooled: We all know lines at security are getting worse. The agency—somewhat hesitantly started testing Pre-check, an express lane for pre-screened frequent fliers, in October for frequent fliers in October, but only at Atlanta and Detroit (big Delta hubs) and Miami and Dallas (ditto for American). The perk is even less accessible because the test run is open only to high-milers chosen by an airline, or to members of the U.S. Customs trusted traveler programs, which require a full background check and biometric ID—meaning the government already deems them trustworthy.

So maybe your invitation got lost in the mail? You’ve still got options.

•Join Clear—there’s a deal going on now. A private company, Clear (which rose out of the remains of a defunct company of the same name) is already operating expedited lanes at two major airports (Denver and Orlando) for all airlines, and wants to get into more.

It costs $179 a year to join, which might sound steep if you’re not a road warrior, but there’s a discount rate of $50; for family members and no charge at all for children 18 and under. It works like this: You sign up online, then present an ID and get your fingerprints taken at one of the enrollment centers where Clear operates. At that point, you get a card that essentially gets you right through security with no wait (you still have go through the metal detector and bag check, of course).

If you’re thinking about it, now’s a good time to give it a try: In a promotion pegged to Daylight Savings (because the service saves you an hour, heh heh), Clear is offering a two-month free trial to prospective joiners, plus it’s knocking $25 off the membership fee. Sign up before we set the clocks back on November 6 for the deal.

Other ways to avoid airport jams:

•Earn premium status in airlines’ frequent flier plans. That’ll get you line-cutting privileges at some airports, but it might not work where your airline isn’t a big player or if you don’t fly enough for this perk. At some airlines you can gain this exalted status after flying a minimum of 25,000 miles a year (note that that’s actual miles flown, not points gained through a credit card).

•Use TSA ”expert lanes.” These are marked by the black diamond signs, but unless you have an airline’s membership card proving your road warrior bona fides you’ll have to fast talk your way past the minders. Technically there’s no requirement that you have to prove you are an expert, but I tried to get on this line at O’Hare Airport once, and a red-jacketed security guard (a sure tip-off a person is with a private contractor working for the airlines and not a TSA employee) shooed me away, saying my boarding pass gave no evidence that I was an ”expert.” True, I was flying coach and I don’t have premium status in any program, but on TSA’s website explaining these lanes, there’s no mention of needing any official status, and given what I do for a living (I’m CNT’s senior correspondent for aviation), I’m clearly an expert traveler. I actually wrote a complaint to TSA and got a form letter reply that simply said they were not responsible for the actions of someone who wasn’t a TSA employee.

•Find an airline agent. If you might miss your flight because you’re stuck behind the Clampett family, seek out an airline agent and explain your situation. They’ll usually bump you to the front of the line to avoid having to rebook you. That’s because of one little known fact: The airlines, not the TSA, actually control the space right up to the checkpoint. That’s how they’ve managed to have their own elite lines and at peak times they’ll often have employees posted nearby—in part, to sort out situations like this.
