Yes, this is related to my search at the time for an equity position partner that can PROCESS/CLOSE.

Bertrum Settlements, a TITLE company was under a magnifying glass due to November & December returns and had the potential of going out of business.  My crystal ball said there was business to be made, I scoped my client base, and made (and am making) a move to procure Bertrum Settlements.

Nothing devious here.  I think there is a lot of upside, though this year PROFIT will not be so great.

I want to run my own business and am pursuing that dream when the opportunity arose.

The Bertrum Group is alive and well as far as I know.
