PUT (OTCMKTS: AGHI) ON YOUR WATCHLIST NOW!Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTCMKTS-AGHI)

Two of the largest players that operate in the B2C (business to consumer) space are Amazon and China’s Alibaba, and they have made it abundantly clear just how lucrative the space is. (Amazon just hit a $1 trillion market cap!)

When you think of social media and brands that stand out, most that come to mind are going to be B2C companies such as Amazon. You rarely pay attention to lesser known companies that also have a presence on Twitter or Instagram, but these B2B (business to business) companies do exist, and they are growing.

Their smaller presence on social media could be explained by the companies’ lack of effort to keep up with the demands of social media or their struggle to grasp how best to use it as a marketing tool. Many B2B companies still make cold calls and go to business breakfasts in person, and while these tactics may still be effective, social media by far is one of the fastest and most impactful ways to communicate in the modern world. 

While the B2C market has more recognition in social media and e-commerce, many have no idea just how fast growing the B2B market is. In simplest terms, B2B marketing involves the sale of a company’s product or service to another company. But just because companies are selling to each other, and not directly to the end user, does not mean there is not just as much value in a visible presence on the web and on social media sites.

Have you ever considered how a Fortune 500 company buys its computers for its 1,000+ employees? These companies don’t walk into the nearest Best Buy.  Instead they place huge orders for these computers from other businesses; businesses that specialize in volume sales.

With the market size for B2B eCommerce expected to top $1 trillion by 2021, the arena has plenty of room and may offer massive upside for companies that are innovating in this space, in a number of ways.

One such company that Wall Street may soon be paying a lot of attention to is Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTCMKTS-AGHI), Agora recently signed a Share Exchange Agreement  with the controlling shareholders of eSilkroad Network Limited.

eSilkroad Network has developed “eSilknet”, a web-based platform that will allow users to search for and communicate with business partners, search for and post proposals for investment and opportunity in developing projects globally, place advertisements for products and services, communicate securely on trade and project development and attract professional services for specific project-based needs.

[thrive_leads id=’8276′]

eSilkroad Network is also currently negotiating the acquisition of a complementary platform called “eSilktrade” which has been under development privately in Shanghai for several years.

“eSilknet will monetize through user subscriptions and fee’s at various service levels” 

The concept of eSilknet is in line with the original concept of the “Silkroad”, facilitating trade and commerce between countries, along the trade route, only on a global scale.

Under the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement and the amendments thereto, Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTCMKTS-AGHI) will acquire 51% of Hong Kong corporation, eSilkroad Network Limited, which controls ninety-five percent (95%) of eSilkroad of Ukraine, a limited liability company registered in the Ukraine.

The focus of both eSilkroad and eSilkroad Ukraine is “eSilknet” and other developing and targeted conceptual B2B platforms that intends to make the interaction between business organizations throughout the world faster, more effective, and less costly.

Besides other functions, eSilknet works according to the principles of a social network:

• it offers each user content which corresponds to his or her interests
• allows users to create content
• allows users to communicate with one another
• allows users to create and update own profile and profile of the company or organization he or she is linked to

LinkedIn, Google +, and Twitter…..these are all social media sites that have B2B companies engaging on their platforms but imagine a site just for business communication:  it’s far more effective to have a strong presence on a few networks, or better yet just one network, than a weak presence on many.

This realization is what could separate Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTCMKTS-AGHI) quickly from major social media platforms.

eSilknet is intended to provide international users a one-stop portal to carry out direct trade and other business activity, reach investors for product and other corporate development purposes, organize international trade events, attract professional services for international activities and advertise products and services.

 

Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTCMKTS-AGHI) and the shareholders of eSilkroad, are proposing to raise financing of up to $20 million over the next thirty-six months to fund the various stages of development required to commercialize and launch the eSilknet B2B platform through private sales of equity to qualified investors directly in eSilkroad, among other options.

Organizations currently working with eSilkroad supporting the development efforts of the B2B platform have indicated diverse ownership of eSilkroad, including investment from various individual investors and investment groups in Asia and Eastern Europe, is an optimal structure to secure participation by key organizations in various target countries for the platform.

The platform will offer users the ability to carry out highly functional searches for something or someone corresponding to their business interests: people, companies, non-profit organizations, events, trade “sell” and “buy” offers, investment opportunities, publications.

Users can also opt to receive relevant trade/investment offers generated by the network automatically, instead of or in addition to using the function: Search. 

eSilknet users can also search for people and companies in order to communicate directly (via eSilknet messenger) and follow person’s or company’s posts. Users will be motivated by eSilknet to leave reviews on communication/cooperation with other users/companies: Strong reviews by users (both to leave and read) will be one of the cornerstones of the eSilknet social network.

Another important feature of eSilknet will be the incorporated trade platform where users can post “sell” and “buy” offers for different goods and services in search of counterparties (customers or suppliers) from other countries. A system of filters will allow users to refine search results for their best matches.

Each offer has its standardized (by industry) description, and users can also review profiles of counterparties to check companies’ history, reviews, etc.

One of the most promising features of the network is that entrepreneurs will have an opportunity to advertise their projects to international investors online.

If you ask any entrepreneur about his or her greatest challenge, they are more than likely going to answer that finding investment capital is the hardest feat. Capital to fund a business idea or projects is not easy to come by.

It’s why companies like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, andGoFundMe have become huge, offering people crowdfunding opportunities.

 

Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTCMKTS: AGHI) President Ruben Yakubov stated:

“We are extremely excited to work with eSilkroad management and shareholders on this groundbreaking project. We understand the importance of local involvement from Chinese and Eastern European countries to the initial launch of the eSilkroad platform, as the formative concept of the site and its launch stems from the historic trade and commerce relationships between these countries.”

“Our goal is to facilitate fundraising efforts and continuing development of the platform while bringing value for our shareholder base. With the conclusion of the Share Exchange Agreement we can now move quickly to focus all our attention on the implementation of the launch timeline and surrounding business plan.”

The completed eSilknet platform will allow users to peruse the site in their native language, making it truly accessible to the global community. Anticipated to be a groundbreaking B2B networking portal providing the global community a new way of direct interaction, eSilknet is focused solely on international business activities.

LinkedIn is the most-used social media platform amongst Fortune 500 companies currently. There are over 2 billion people using social media today. This is a strong indicator that a one stop destination for international B2B companies could have a significant market. 

In continuing development over the past year under the expert guidance of its founder, Oleg Sytnyk, eSilknet has assembled a team of experts with successful careers spanning the fields of project development, online and offline marketing, startup enterprises, software development including IT, Payment systems, mobile, web and high-tech concepts and industrial, graphic and web design.

eSilknet has a clear roadmap and is ready to implement the next phase of development to achieve pilot launch.  At current levels, Agora Holdings, Inc. (OTCMKTS-AGHI) may be a needle in the haystack on Wall Street right now!

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification.

​​Small Cap Exclusive is owned and operated by JBN PARTNERS LLC, which is a US based corporation. We are paid advertisers, also known as stock touts or stock promoters, who disseminate favorable information (this “Article”) about publicly traded companies (the “Profiled Issuers”).

​We publish the Information on our website, ​​stocktalktoday.com and in newsletters, text message alerts, audio services, live interviews, featured “research” reports, on message boards and in email communications for specific time periods that are agreed upon between us and the Profiled Issuer and / or third party paying us. Our publication of the Information is known as a “Campaign”. This information may be sent to potential investors at different times that are minutes, hours, days or even weeks apart. Typically, the trading volume and price of a Profiled Issuer’s securities increases after the information is provided to the first group of investors. Therefore, the later an investor receives the Information, the more likely it is that he will suffer trading losses if they purchase the securities of a Profiled Issuer late in a Campaign. We are paid to advertise the Profiled Issuers, Agora Holdings, Inc. Small Cap Exclusive has been hired by AWARNESS CONSULTING NETWORK LLC, for a period beginning on November 14, 2018 to publicly disseminate information about (AGHI) via website and email. We have been compensated $23,000. We will update any changes to our compensation. We own zero shares of (AGHI).

Third Parties paying us to market the Profiled Issuer we believe intend to sell their shares they hold while we tell investors to purchase during the Campaign. ​​Agora Holdings, Inc. is a penny stock that was illiquid (little to no trading volume) prior to our Campaign, and therefore these securities are subject to wide fluctuations in trading price and volume. During the Campaign the trading volume and price of the securities of each Profile Issuer will likely increase significantly because of the media exposure. When the Campaign ends, the volume and price of the Profiled Issuer will likely decrease dramatically. As a result, investors who purchase during the Campaign and hold shares of the Profiled Issuer when the Campaign ends will probably lose most, if not all, of their investment.

The Information we publish in the Campaign is only a snapshot that provides only positive information about the Profiled Issuers. The Information consists of only positive content. We do not and will not publish any negative information about the Profiled Issuers; accordingly, investors should consider the Information to be one-sided and not balanced, complete, accurate, truthful and / or reliable. We do not verify or confirm any portion of the Information. We do not conduct any due diligence, nor do we research any aspect of the Information including the completeness, accuracy, truthfulness and / or reliability of the Information. We do not review the Profiled Issuers’ financial condition, operations, business model, management or risks involved in the Profiled Issuer’s business or an investment in a Profiled Issuer’s securities.

All information in our Campaign is publicly available information from 3rd party sources and / or the Profiled Issuers and/or the 3rd parties that hire us. We may also obtain the Information from publicly available sources such as the OTC Markets, Google, NASDAQ, NYSE, Yahoo, Bing, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Edgar database or other available public sources.

We select the stocks we profile and / or pick as we are compensated to advertise them. If an investor relies solely on the Information in making an investment decision it is highly probable that the investor will lose most, if not all, of his or her investment. Investors should not rely on the Information to make an investment decision.

The source of our compensation varies depending upon the particular circumstances of the Campaign. In certain cases, we are compensated by the Profiled Issuers, third party shareholders, and / or other parties related to the Profiled Issuers such as officers and/or directors who will derive a financial or other benefit from an increase in the trading price and/or volume of a Profiled Issuer’s securities.

We make no warranty and / or representation about the Information, including its completeness, accuracy, truthfulness or reliability and we disclaim, expressly and implicitly, all warranties of any kind, including whether the Information is complete, accurate, truthful, or reliable and as such, your use of the Information is at your own risk. The Information is provided as is without limitation.

We are not, and do not act in the capacity of any of the following; as such, you should not construe our activities as involving any of the following: an independent adviser or consultant; a fortune teller; an investment adviser or an entity engaging in activities that would be deemed to be providing investment advice that requires registration either at the federal and / or state level; a broker-dealer or an individual acting in the capacity of a registered representative or broker; a stock picker; a securities trading expert; a securities researcher or analyst; a financial planner or one who engages in financial planning; a provider of stock recommendations; a provider of advice about buy, sell or hold recommendations as to specific securities; or an agent offering or securities for sale or soliciting their purchase.

There are numerous risks associated with each Profiled Issuer and investors should undertake a full review of each Profiled Issuer with the assistance of their financial, legal, and tax advisers prior to purchasing the securities of any Profiled Issuer.

We are not objective or independent and have multiple conflicts of interest. The Profiled Issuers and parties hiring us have conflicts of interest. Third parties that have hired us and own shares will sell these shares while we tell investors to purchase, and this selling of the Profiled Issuer’s securities will likely cause investors to suffer losses.

Our publication of the Information involves actual and material conflicts of interest including but not limited to the fact that we receive monetary compensation in exchange for publishing the (favorable) Information about the Profiled Issuers; and we do not publish any negative information, whatsoever, about the Profiled Issuers; in addition to the fact that while we do not own the Profiled Issuer’s securities, the third parties that hired us do, and intend to sell all of these securities during the Campaign while we publish favorable information that instructs investors to purchase, and this selling of the Profiled Issuer’s securities will likely cause investors to suffer losses.

We are not responsible or liable for any person’s use of the Information or any success or failure that is directly or indirectly related to such person’s use of the Information because we have specifically stated that the information is not reliable and should not be relied upon for any purpose. We are not responsible for omissions and / or errors in the Information and we are not responsible for actions taken by any person who relies upon the Information.

We urge Investors to conduct their own in-depth investigation of the Profiled Issuers with the assistance of their legal, tax and / or investment adviser(s). An investor’s review of the Information should include but not be limited to the Profiled Issuer’s financial condition, operations, management, products and / or services, trends in the industry and risks that may be material to the profiled Issuer’s business and other information he and his advisers deem material to an investment decision. An investor’s review should include, but not be limited to a review of available public sources and information received directly from the Profiled Issuers or from websites such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, OTC Markets, NASDAQ, NYSE, www.sec.gov or other available public sources.

We are providing you with this disclaimer because we are publishing advertisements about penny stocks. Because we are paid to disseminate the Information to the public about securities, we are required by the securities laws including Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to specifically disclose my compensation as well as other important information, This information includes that we may hold, as well as purchase and sell, the securities of a Profiled Issuer before, during and after we publish favorable Information about the Profiled Issuer. We may urge investors to purchase the securities of a Profiled Issuer while we sell my own shares. The anti-fraud provisions of federal and state securities laws require us to inform you that we may engage in buying and selling of Profiled Issuer’s securities before, during and after the Campaigns.

Any investment in the Profiled Issuers involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. The securities may be subject to extreme volume and price volatility, especially during the Campaigns. Favorable past performance of a Profiled Issuer does not guarantee future results. If you purchase the securities of the Profiled Issuers, you should be prepared to lose your entire investment. Some of the risks involved in purchasing securities of the Profiled Issuers include, but are not limited to the risks stated below.

We do not endorse, independently verify or assert the truthfulness, completeness, accuracy or reliability of the Information. We conduct no due diligence or investigation whatsoever of the Information or the Profiled Issuers and we do not receive any verification from the Profiled Issuer regarding the Information we disseminate.

If we publish any percentage gain of a Profiled Issuer from the previous day close in the Information, it is not and should not be construed as an indication that the future stock price or future operational results will reflect gains or otherwise prove to be advantageous to your investment.

The Information may contain statements asserting that a Profiled Issuer’s stock price has increased over a certain period of time which may reflect an arbitrary period of time, and is not predictive or of any analytical quality; as such, you should not rely upon the (favorable) Information in your analysis of the present or future potential of a Profiled Issuer or its securities.

The Information should not be interpreted in any way, shape, form or manner whatsoever as an indication of the Profiled Issuer’s future stock price or future financial performance.

You may encounter difficulties determining what, if any, portions of the Information are material or non-material, making it all the more imperative that you conduct your own independent investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities with the assistance of your legal, tax and financial advisor.

When 3rd parties that hire us acquire, purchase and / or sell the securities of the Profiled Issuers, it may (a) cause significant volatility in the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (b) cause temporary but unrealistic increases in volume and price of the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (c) if selling, cause the Profiled Issuer’s stock price to decline dramatically; and (d) permit themselves to make substantial profits while investors who purchase during the Campaign experience significant losses.

The securities of the Profiled Issuers are high risk, unstable, unpredictable and illiquid which may make it difficult for investors to sell their securities of the Profiled Issuers.

We may hire third party service providers and stock promoters to electronically disseminate live news regarding the Profiled Issuers, yet we have no control over the content of and do not verify the information that the Profiled Issuers and/or third party service providers publish. These third party service providers are likely compensated for providing positive information about the Issuer and may fail to disclose their compensation to you.

If a Profiled Issuer is a SEC reporting company, it could be delinquent (not current) in its periodic reporting obligations (i.e., in its quarterly and annual reports), or if it is an OTC Markets Pink Sheet quoted company, it may be delinquent in its Pink Sheet reporting obligations, which may result in OTC Markets posting a negative legend pertaining to the Profiled Issuer at www.otcmarkets.com, as follows: (i) “Limited Information” for companies with financial reporting problems, economic distress, or that are unwilling to file required reports with the Pink Sheets; (ii) “No Information,” which characterizes companies that are unable or unwilling to provide any disclosure to the public markets, to the SEC or the Pink Sheets; and (iii) “Caveat Emptor,” signifying buyers should be aware that there is a public interest concern associated with a company’s illegal spam campaign, questionable stock promotion, known investigation of a company’s fraudulent activity or its insiders, regulatory suspensions or disruptive corporate actions.

If the Information states that a Profiled Issuer’s securities are consistent with the future economic trends or even if your independent research indicates that, you should be aware that economic trends have their own limitations, including: (a) that economic trends or predictions may be speculative; (b) consumers, producers, investors, borrowers, lenders and/or government may react in unforeseen ways and be affected by behavioral biases that we are unable to predict; (c) human and social factors may outweigh future economic trends that we state may or will occur; (d) clear cut economic predictions have their limitations in that they do not account for the fundamental uncertainty in economic life, as well as ordinary life; (e) economic trends may be disrupted by sudden jumps, disruptions or other factors that are not accounted for in economic trends analysis; in other words, past or present data predicting future economic trends may become irrelevant in light of new circumstances and situations in which uncertainty becomes reality rather than predicted economic outcome; or (f) if the trend predicted involves a single result, it ignores other scenarios that may be crucial to make a decision in the event of unknown contingencies.

The Information is presented only as a brief snapshot of the Profiled Issuer and should only be used, at most, and if at all, as a starting point for you to conduct a thorough investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities. You should consult your financial, legal or other adviser(s) and avail yourself of the filings and information that may be accessed at www.sec.gov, www.otcmarkets.com or other electronic media, including: (a) reviewing SEC periodic reports (Forms 10-Q and 10-K), reports of material events (Form 8-K), insider reports (Forms 3, 4, 5 and Schedule 13D); (b) reviewing Information and Disclosure Statements and unaudited financial reports filed with the OTCMarkets.com; (c) obtaining and reviewing publicly available information contained in commonly known search engines such as Google; and (d) consulting investment guides at www.sec.gov and www.finra.org. You should always be cognizant that the Profiled Issuers may not be current in their reporting obligations with the SEC and the OTC Markets and/or have negative legends and designations at otcmarkets.com.
