Business Value Builders LLC Jim Bland of BVB and FEG. They took $1,785.00 from me for three centers in Missouri and will do nothing. Solomons Maryland
Business Value Builders (BVB), headed up by Mr.Jim Bland, was susposed to assist us in giving great value and support for our contacting SBDC Centers. They were susposed to have highly valuable lending institutions that we could present to the SBDC.(Small Business Development Centers). We would be paid a percentage of the lending fee. They promised to help us obtain personel that would contact these centers. After several months of makke-believe traing and unable to gain respect from the centers, thet quit communicating with us and will not recognize or answer our e-mails. I purchased rights to three centers (3 x $595.00) or a total of $1,785.00. My e-mails or ignored.I recieved one e-mailk from Jim Bland in which he questioned me of things I never heard of. I finally -after realizing they would take no responsibility for their promises, ask them to refund my money. I have had no responce. I truly believe that the SBDC centers do not need or trust BVB. I believe that BVB knows this. They, however, can not find honor enough within themselves to confess this and return the hard-earned money from small investors. What a shame that these people love money so much that they stoop so low as to do things like this.

#2UPDATE EX-employee responds
Fri, October 02, 2015
First off, I am more accurately an EX-ASSOCIATE, but ex-employee was the closest option I had to choose from.
Anyway, I'm sure you recognize my name, as Jim Bland decided to give me contact information to every "Area Manager" in his fraudulent program to, in essence, threaten me into removing my ACCURATE post detailing the events that occured while working with him, which you have verified almost to the letter. I've kept a record of that, as well.
A couple of things I want to bring to your attention. (1) FEG is every bit as responsible for this as Jim Bland is, as they were privy to all of the complaints from people like us, and all the information about how this program turned out, and did absolutely nothing to make things right by its agents, despite the fact that FEG agent relationships were what enabled Jim Bland to create this situation in the first place. The only contact I received from FEG was from a high ranking executive who left me an "anonymous" message. I discovered who it was after I searched out the number (I won't mention his name. He knows who he is); (2) I have spoken to a lady who recently sued Jim Bland (and won her money back), and she forwarded me the information on the lawsuit, so that myself and others can do the same thing. The story she gave me about what transpired in the process is nothing short of hilarious, but I will discuss that in private with you should you contact me.
If you'd like to have thr information on how to sue and get your money back, you know how to reach me. I've given it to several others who have contacted me (at Bland's request, ironically), and I hope everyone who was taken advantage of is made whole.
Best of luck to you!
