Assured Law - Update Following a turbulent few months for Assured Law we've made significant progress in the last week towards getting the firm operational. Through James' and Paulo's employment in the government they've both become acquainted with Andy Tyrie who is the deputy speaker on the Law Review Committee with Paulo and an instructor under James Hawkes in SAAA. This has allowed both executives to familiarize themselves with the exceptional quality of his work and establish a professional relationship. Andy was already the existing C.E.O of a licensed law firm "24420 Law" which had yet to commence operations. After meeting with Andy both organisations appreciated the benefits that a merger would bring to both their company's and "24420 Law" was transferring to Assured Services and re-branded into "Assured Law". With our newly established law firm we can begin to build the foundations to what will hopefully become the state's leading law firm. Although Civil law is a fair way away we're in the unique position where we can internally fund the activities of our newest addition through various avenues such as contract creation for all our businesses and providing legal coverage for all subsidiaries and staff.

Vinewood Magazine Over the course of the week James & Paulo have been participating in talks with Oj Wood about bringing on Vinewood Magazine into the Assured Services Family. After a lengthy discussion the company is now officially recognised as our newest subsidiary! This new addition provides a plethora of opportunities for both company's and allows for one another to draw off each other unique advantages. Oj's enthusiasm makes him the perfect addition to Assured's management team with his passion for writing and innovation. During their discussions they've talked about multiple avenues in which they hope to expand & improve the magazine as-well-as the company as a whole. During his fruitful career in government, he has acquired valuable experience in this field as the Director for Public Relations while also establishing an extensive list of contacts for vacant positions in the company. It's safe to say that Oj will fit into the company perfectly having already sparked a burst of elation into the C.E.O. We look forward to seeing all that Oj and Vinewood Magazine can offer!

Bad day for Business Business is constantly filled with highs and lows and despite Assured's reputation we're no exception to that. Recently Paulo was approached by the C.E.O of Rockford Law looking to sell his company following concerns that personal relations would hinder the prosperity of his company. After a preliminary discussion Paulo expressed his interest in acquiring the firm and reported back to his Executives. Paulo's enthusiasm over the acquisition was shared by the board and an offer was immediately sent over with a couple options for flexibility. For a deal which is a first of it's kind, Paulo presented an initial offer of $450,000 for the company which was accepted several days later. Immediately preparations were underway with contact being made with employees, business licensing & the Judicial Branch to ensure the legitimacy of the transfer. All that remained was a final discussion with the staff to formally introduce them to Assured and answer any concerns. Days past and Paulo was left in the dark eagerly awaiting the availability of the staff. Unsure as to what had instigated the abrupt freeze in progress Paulo attempted to call the C.E.O and locate him around Los Santos. Finally after all preparations were made Paulo found an e-mail in his inbox U-Turning from the deal. Although this wasn't what we wanted to see it's always important to respect the decision that individuals chose to make despite the ramifications. We wish Rockford Law the best with their future endeavors and business shall resume as normal at Assured.

March Update Over the month of March Assured Services has been undergoing some background work from building renovations to completing business plans for upcoming subsidiaries. We've devised a plan which aims to upgrade and 3 of our core buildings Bluff Tower, Pacific Bluffs and Maze Bank West. Following a very busy month for Maze Bank West, having given out $6,450,000 during a 30 day space, it was the first to receive an upgrade. The building now features a completely new foyer, ground floor offices, secure loading garage & two high security vaults. Additionally Pacific Bluffs was rented out for the first time to one of Paulo's old associates, George Hill for his private wedding function. George had outsources the planning of the event to a new entrepreneur Ellie Berrycloth. For the price of $100,000 Pacific Bluffs entire property was leased out for the whole day and prepped in advance for the wedding. On the 25th of March the dance floor was once again filled with guests armed with beverages.

Customer Satisfaction It's no secret that keeping customers happy is the key to a prosperous business which is why Assured was always founded on key principles that all our branches must adhere to. It's because of these values that we've firmly established a community reputation as the leading pioneers in the business for Los Santos. Although going the extra mile may sometimes incur extra costs, generating a rapport with clients while always benefit you down the line. Following our last loan, one customer Jeremy Williams submitted a letter to the C.E.O Paulo Witherfork expressing his gratitude with Maze Bank West and voicing his praise about the quality of service. Consequential to his positive experience Jeremy then went on to recommend Maze Bank to his friends and colleagues in the LSSD. A few days after handing out the loan, Paulo met with Jeremy whom introduced his friend Milo Quinn. Like Jeremy, Milo was seeking a large loan to acquire an aircraft for his new aviation company. This has led to further discussions of establishing a potential partnership with Assured Aviation and primed Maze Bank West to give out another muli million dollar loan.

Funding Aviation With the introduction of civil aviation into the state it's no surprise that many citizens are eager to be among the first to get their hands on a new aircraft. Unfortunately specialist vehicles in their nature are highly valuable pieces of machinery costing upwards of $5,000,000 to purchase a standard model. This unsurprisingly limits the availability of these aircraft to a handful of citizens. Two weeks ago Jeremy Williams, a friend and associate of Paulo's approached him with a loan request to help him acquire a new helicopter. It was Jeremy's wish that he could be in personal possession of an aircraft unfortunately he would need to acquire some additional funds to make it possible. After getting quotes from other loan companies of 20% +, it was looking like an infeasible prospect until Maze Bank West responded with an interest rate HALF of his competitors. Within the next 72 hours Jeremy had met up with Paulo and James and had acquired himself $3,700,000, the largest loan given out by Maze Bank West. At Assured we ensure that all our subsidiaries operate to a standard en-keeping with our company values of offering a premium service to all while remaining affordable.

Pacific Bluff Helipad installation As we enter 2023 we've started to get the ball rolling with a few of our new year company goals. Arguable one of our biggest is the foundation of a brand new subsidiary, Assured Aviation. Behind the scenes Paulo and James have been working away establishing business plans which outline the specific business operations of the branch. It comes as no surprise to hear that this new branch will come with high overheads & pre-launch cost as we set out to receive training, facilities and aircraft which is why the branch won't be launched until all areas have carefully been thought out. Now that most of the bureaucracy has been handled with license applications and heli-pad registrations we've started with physical preparations. Over the course of the month we've seen Assured's first helipad be constructed and registered behind Pacific Bluffs country club! This marks a key milestone towards getting this exciting new subsidiary up and running.

Assured Services - November Update The last few weeks C.E.O Paulo Witherfork and C.L.O Marco Davis had endeavored on a small business excursion exploring possible avenues to diversify the company. Returning from their trip, there were a few jobs on the to-do-list that needed ticking off for the coming months. After assembling the motorcade they both spent the day tackling a few jobs. After a detour to Paleto Lumber Mill we commissioned the assemblance of several Christmas trees to appear at our key locations ahead of the festivities with the center piece being visible at the company Head Quarters Bluff Tower. To conclude the day Marco and Paulo thought it time to make some further progress towards their next Subsidiary... Assured Aviation. They spent the evening assembling two new Helipads at Pacific Bluffs where we're hoping to centralize the activity of the business and submitting the necessary paperwork. We look forward to the coming announcements from the aviation administration and the future of this exciting branch.

Maze Bank West - Supporting Enterprise Maze Bank West has always prided itself on being able to provide financial support to the masses while offering the lowest market interest rates. Through our past and present schemes which have enabled people to purchase properties through Assured Property Management at 5% interest to funding business proposals we have been able to invest vast quantities of capital into the pockets of our customers at competitive rates. Last week was no exception, after an inquiry email was received from one of Paulo's old colleagues Maze Bank West once again set to work making their request possible. Due to the nature of the loan our client was unable to obtain the funds from other companies, fortunately Miles met all the criteria to make him a great candidate for the loan. After all the paperwork was signed and meetings were concluded Maze Bank Proceeded to allocate funds of $3,000,000 over into his account making this the largest single transaction in the companies history. A statement from our Client: "Mr Witherfork, This e-mail serves the purpose of feedback specifically for Maze Bank West. When all the doors were closed for me to purchase a business, Assured Services (Maze Bank West) Opened one for me. They offered me a loan of the exact amount I required without any hesitation. Their service was very rapid and simple. I personally would like to thank Mr Witherfork for his help during this hard time for me. I would recommend Assured Services to my Friends and family anytime, and day. Thank you Assured Services! From, Miles Logan"

Assured Services - Reflection On this day 1000 days ago 5 like minded entrepreneurs came together with a collective vision to found the states first conglomerate company. It was on this day that the first official document was created "Assured Security - Business Plan" which outlines the infant stages of the company and the first major business investment. The original funding for Assured Services amounted to at the time a staggering $8,200,000 and would help accelerate the foundation of what would become the most prosperous business in Los Santos. Now comes the question - where do we go from here? Assured Services has met its' fair share of adversity in the world of business. Foundations have crumbled and more often than they can count, the board of shareholders have had to gut their projects and start from scratch. The first two months were chaotic to say the least, with the departure of the C.E.O Jonny Black, C.F.O Dennis Good & C.O.O Tevin Atkinson the company was in Turmoil. However, there is always light at the end of the tunnel. After months upon months of strategy, graft and restructuring the company landed back on two-feet with Paulo Witherfork taking the helm as the new Chief Executive Officer, Chris Crawford as Chief Operations Officer, Blair Allison as Chief Financial Officer and finally James Hawkes as Chief Liason Officer. The key shareholders of the board met at the CEO's home and began to lay the road for Assured's future. They would begin scouring the city of Los Santos and wider state for talent; hungry and driven individuals willing to put in work and start making sales. Assured Services' property, loans and gun market subsidiaries would start to advertise internships for people to learn the craft and take the organisation to the next level. For those who had given their blood, sweat and tears to bringing Assured to where it was now, this move could not happen sooner. The next year was full of prosperity and growth for Assured. Within 8 months of opening Paulo had acquired 5 multi-million dollar businesses that would lay the foundation of the company (Fully Cocked, LogoSource, Pacific Bluffs, Assured Property Management & Maze Bank West) These businesses would generate enough revenue to stabilize the company and provide enough excess income to continue the company's fast growth. It's also important to recognize the relationships established in the first year. These organisations collaborated with Assured not knowing it's financial success down the line but due to the talented team and shared vision of what could be and it's for that exact reason that Burnout Nations, MotorSport & Shadow Corp will always have our support and respect. 2021 was another great year for Assured but didn't come without it's challenges. Most notable would be the foundation of the Chamber Of Commerce, during 2021 the state was met with its first major Business Crisis. As a result of new state legislation, Los Santos saw a substantial increase in fuel prices which was hitting low income citizens which infeasible bills. The responsibility of tackling this emergency fell to the economic powerhouses Assured & Shadow Corp. Thanks to the efforts of both organisations Los Santos saw the creation of the first civilian governed, state endorsed board of representatives and after relentless efforts we saw the government U-Turn on their ineffective policy. Wednesday the 20th of January saw the unfortunate departure of Chris Crawford from Assured Services. Chris was the last remaining founding members of Assured alongside Paulo having dedicated countless hours to getting Assured to where it stands today as one of the biggest corporations in Los Santos. He was the true embodiment of our core values that we preach to all staff offering nothing but the best for the company. Although this was a major loss for the company, his position was swiftly filled by the James Hawkes who would continue to serve in the roll till the present day. Despite the hardship that started off the year, January also saw the creation of Assured Events which would grow to become the company's most profitable and renowned subsidiary. Sokka and Emily Lazoo joined the company and assumed the position as Co-Events Coordinators where they'd have free-reign to host events for the state. In year one the branch would host 5 independent events and collaborate on an additional 2 which would see revenues of $5,400,000 for the company. Staff are the fundamental backbone to any organisation, they're the individuals who keep the cogs turning and ensure the day-to-day running of each business. To get Assured to the point where it owned 9 individual subsidiaries would have simply been impossible for one man to achieve and although the team at Assured isn't the largest by any-means and has definitely seen some restructuring over the years I'm grateful to all those members past and present who have dedicated their time into getting the faction to it's current position. It's for that very reason, it becomes a vital responsibility of management to ensure staff are not only fairly compensated for their efforts but also to made to feel included and valued. When we became the first official faction on ECRP I felt indebted to all those members and compelled to reward staff with not only financial bonuses but also a day to remember. Closing Statement - " This thread has perfectly en-captured the achievements of Assured over the last several years but also echoed my gratitude to all staff, associates, friends and faction handlers we've had the pleasure of working with. I'm immensely proud of what we've been able to accomplish with what started as a seed of innovation between 5 friends to one of the longest lasting, first of it's kind, civilian official faction. It's due to the copious amount of time dedicated by the members that we've been able to lead the way in this alternative style of RolePlay and spark new means of interaction not yet seen by the community. We derive most gratification from our community events, which bring a refreshing break from the norm and allow all to interact regardless of character background. Although Assured is proud to have been the first commercial based official faction, we know that we certainly won't be the last. Again I reiterate my appreciation to all the other factions who have collaborated and worked with Assured, all faction members who have directly contributed and built the faction and our handlers who have enabled us to venture into new roleplay opportunities. Thanks, Paulo "

Burnout Nation - 2 Year Anniversary Burnout Nation and Assured Services have been close counterparts for several years. Their relationship with each other has extended beyond each others official status from when both groups were in their infant stages. The ties between our two groups stems from several mutual members between each of the organisations, James Hawkes (Current C.O.O) and Chris Crawford (Founding Executive). From funds upwards of $730,000 being exchanged between the two groups to playing hide & Seek in Mirror Park and setting up legendary events it's safe to say that both groups stand alongside one another. A statement from the C.E.O: Since December 2020, Burnout Nation has maintained a strong lasting Relationship with Assured Services. Over the last two years, both organizations have continuously provided support to one another and been witness to each other's growth and prosperity! Since the foundation of Assured, Burnout Nation has contributed $375,000 towards community events, attended over 15 gatherings and collaborated on 3 joint events. These statistics help to quantify continued devotion between our two like-minded factions. It goes without saying that Burnout Nation has been one of our longest confidants and a crucial friend to our faction over the last two years! We hope to maintain our robust amity for many more years to come.

Pride Night at Pacific Bluffs! Following the installation of the new lighting rigs at Pacific Bluffs the executive team it was long overdue to host another event. With June just around the corner, it was unanimously decided that Pacific Bluffs will host a Pride Night. En-keeping with the values of Pride month, we ensured that all would be welcome by making this the clubs first free entry event! In the lead up to the event, Paulo reached out to his list of contacts seeking support for the event. The department of Correction, Bayview & Burnout Nation all generously backed the event with financial aid and attendance from their organisations. C.O.O James Hawkes was once again tasked with creating an attention grabbing poster which was as always executed to perfection! On the day of the event, Paulo was met with eager attendees who had shown up to the venue up to 45 minutes early! Once all staff were briefed and suited it was time to let the masses flood into the venue. The event was a hit! With the carpark at capacity and the dance floor filled the events team had achieved another highly successful event! As the event came to a close, Paulo was met with generous praise from attendees! Not only was the event a success in terms of the customer satisfaction and turnout but also financially successful. Having generated revenues of $1,359,750 it makes the second most profitable event in Assured's History and brings the company's revenue's to over $45,000,000. The management team at Assured Services would like to extend our gratitude to Icarus Matsumoto, Jeremy Williams, James Hawkes, Marco Davis & Asbjorn Schmidt for staffing the event and making it possible! We thank all of those in attendance, and hope to see you all soon at our next event.

Exciting New Position! Following extensive discussions with SAJB, Assured Services is proud to announce that it will be founding the states first private firm, as such we will be looking to welcome a new member onto our board of management in our new position of Legal Director!

Wow...

Getting an Upgrade! It's no surprise to hear that Pacific Bluffs is Assured Services most successful business having hosted a plethora of highly successful events over the last year. Since it's opening, the club has maintained it's original stylish look but has been more then deserving of a makeover. With an event in the pipeline, there's no better time to revamp this legendary venue to give it some new features deserving of it's reputation. After consulting his list of contacts, Paulo commissioned the refurbishment of the venue with the aim of introducing new modern day technology into this classic club. Within the week, the construction team has established their work site in the carpark and had commenced the installation of several new lighting rigs. After 4 days had passed, Paulo was given the all clear to enter Pacific Bluffs where he received a tour by the site foreman who was able to introduce Paulo to his new ceiling display. Three new rigs had been mounted and wired above the center dancefloor to bring a bit of extra energy to the club and to help fill the empty space which once was there. This new light system comes equipped with hundreds of interchangeable light patterns through 700 individual LED light bulbs to bring an array of colour to the room. Paulo was more then impressed with the finished product and can't wait to test them out at the clubs next opening! As always a big thank you @MarcoD for his assistance in setting up the RP!

Chamber Of Commerce - Results Back at the start of 2021 Assured Services Co-Founded the Chamber of Commerce to promote discussion and open a dialogue between Business Owners, State Officials and Citizens. The first meeting was highly successful with a large number of attendees actively participating in the discussions. During this meeting, we tackled pressing issues, resolved conflict and answered burning questions. During the time of the first meeting the state was going through a fuel crisis, through the Chamber of Commerce we were able to liaise with the Government to reduce the import price of fuel into Los Santos and therefore resolving the problem. Towards the back end of 2021 the state found itself in a similar situation with new government legislation draining businesses of all revenue and feeding the illegal weapons trade. A second Session was called for where the state expressed even greater concerns towards the states actions and sanctions they had imposed. After constant pressure from Assured Services for follow up meetings the state finally received some good new 6 months after the meeting. The government issued the following press statement: This was very reassuring news and has helped businesses somewhat reaffirm their confidence back in the government. Although they've started to tackle our primary concern from that last meeting we still await a face-to-face meeting with the government which we were promised to fully discuss the states strategy to resolve the issues brought forth by the people. We want to Assure all that we will continue our efforts in representing the state and continue to apply pressure to the government to resolve the collective concerns of the people.

New Subsidiary in the Works - Assured Graphics Assured Services has always prided itself on offering such a diverse range of high quality services. Throughout the years, the public have always been keen to praise the level of standard of our logos, posters and advertisement material. Spearheaded by C.O.O James Hawkes our internal graphics department has produced copious amounts of unique and notable designs for our events and new branches which we have established over the years. Recently two government employees Sai Modi & Hector Price reached out to Paulo expressing great interest in joining Assured. After brief conversations with both individuals Paulo was able to identify that both had done various design works for small businesses in the state. After consulting James Hawkes, both were in agreement that there was space in the market for a graphics design agency and that this was a prime opportunity to capitalise and further expand the company. The following day, Paulo took both Hector and Sai into Bluff Tower and presented the idea to both individuals. Fortunately this idea was met with great enthusiasm and both were keen to get started. After assigning them both their first appointment and James creating a brand new logo for our newest subsidiary we look forward to seeing where this new branch goes.

Thank you both for your supportive comments! I hope that reading these threads keeps your peace of Mind Assured.
