Signatures Part III Last Page Summary an d Risk Factors (a) The Primary Goal in offering the Initial Public Offerings under Tier 1 Offerings is to raise working capital to expand and grow business to lead the industry. Being that this is the first Tier 1 being offered as an IPO for Web Debt Solutions, LLC, the time frame would be one year in getting the funds raised for Company. (b) The industry of Debt Collections is considered "high risk" but Web Debt Solutions, LLC has been able to overcome all obstacles and stand as the startup company from 2014 to 2016 to generate revenues. The only risk that could but would never become an issue for Web Debt Solutions, LLC would be the expenses going forward in becoming a public company and also if the OPO does not take off right away and generate the funds needed for the Tier 1 Offering. Though this is a risk factor, Web Debt Solutions, LLC has hundreds of clients worldwide that even having 15,000,000 shares available for purchase would not be enough. ITEM 4 DILUTION There is a material disparity between the public offering price and the effective cash cost to officers, directors, promoters, and affiliated persons for shares acquired by them in a transaction during the past year or that they have a right to acquire will be put in a rational form. The pricing for the public to acquire shares would be $49 to $59 and for affiliates of the company $29 to $35 per share, and these prices vary depending on the number of shares being purchased. There will be Preemptive Rights Protection to help protect those who purchase and have ownership with the company. Item 5 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS (g) The company will have a total of 15,000,000 shares available for distribution during the IPO phase of the Tier 1 Offering. Affiliates of the company will be able to purchase shares at a discounted rate of 40% to 50% off. The public will be able to purchase between $49 to $59 depending on the amount purchased. Being the public can hold up to 6% equity in the company and affiliates 4%, this will help limit the stabilize the market for any of the securities to be offered. Item 6 Use of proceeds to issuer The principal purpose for which the net proceeds to the issuer from the securities to be offered are intended to be used for: approximate amount 1. Expansion and to open new offices worldwide $5,000,000 to $8,000,000 2. New Start Ups/Subsidiaries $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 3. Advertising and Marketing $1,500,000 4. To better trade on a larger scale $2,000,000 5. % to be distributed to Company owner and affiliates $2,000,000 And the remaining will be put in a interest bearing account an equity account for Web Debt Solutions, LLC. Item 7 Description of business The term 'Collection Agency' is defined as a business that pursues payments of debts owed by individuals or businesses. Most collection agencies operate as agents of creditors and collect debts for a fee or percentage of the total amount owed. There are many types of collection agencies. First-party agencies are often subsidiaries of the original company the debt is owed to. Third-party agencies are separate companies contracted by a company to collect debts on their behalf for a fee. Debt buyers purchase the debt at a percentage of its value, then attempt to collect it. Each country has its own rules and regulations regarding them. Web Debt Solutions, LLC will operate primarily as a third party agency, but will also act as a first party agency for clients who do not perform in-house collections but have not charged off debts of a customer or business. Debt buying will also be performed in the event client is offering portfolios for sale for a percentage or fee to relieve them from the duty of being a beneficiary of the debtors account or invoice. Due to industry market every changing in accordance to economic development, the company will be safe to generate revenue and sales despite a recession or a surplus economic state. In collections, it is a necessary for all clients, vendors, and customers due to world of "Credit." Credit is the trust which allows one party to provide money or resources to another party where that second party does not reimburse the first party immediately (thereby generating a debt), but instead arranges either to repay or return those resources (or other materials of equal value) at a later date. The resources provided may be financial (e.g. granting a loan), or they may consist of goods or services (e.g. consumer credit). Credit encompasses any form of deferred payment. Credit is extended by a creditor, also known as a lender, to a debtor, also known as a borrower. Credit does not necessarily require money. The credit concept can be applied in barter economies as well, based on the direct exchange of goods and services. However, in modern societies, credit is usually denominated by a unit of account. Unlike money, credit itself cannot act as a unit of account. Movements of financial capital are normally dependent on either credit or equity transfers. Credit is in turn dependent on the reputation or creditworthiness of the entity which takes responsibility for the funds. Credit is also traded in financial markets. The purest form is the credit default swap market, which is essentially a traded market in credit insurance. A credit default swap represents the price at which two parties exchange this risk - the protection seller takes the risk of default of the credit in return for a payment, commonly denoted in basis points (one basis point is 1/100 of a percent) of the notional amount to be referenced, while the protection buyer pays this premium and in the case of default of the underlying (a loan, bond or other receivable), delivers this receivable to the protection seller and receives from the seller the par amount (that is, is made whole). As long as 'credit' is being offered on an international level to any person, business, or party, the industry on collections will always have business in where recoveries and collections of delinquencies will always be needed. Medical collections applies to this rule as well, due to birth, accidents, and death, which all are inevitable, the company will always have a field in which to produce income from. The collection agency industry is highly competitive with over 120,000 agencies and people working in the industry. Demand for collections services is driven by the volume of financial transactions and by the health of the economy. The profitability of individual companies depends largely on efficiency of operations. Large companies enjoy economies of scale in their ability to buy receivables portfolios. Small companies can compete successfully by providing superior customer service. The US industry is fragmented: the 50 largest companies account for about 45 percent of revenue. Some key competitors in the industry that the company would be up against are: Major companies include Encore Capital Group, GC Services, iQor, NCO Group, Portfolio Recovery Associates, and STA International (all based in the US) as well as First Collect International (UK) and NTT Finance (Japan). Given the fact that the owner of the company, Stephanie Izevbizua, has worked for 3 of the top 50 major competitors in the collection agency industry for over 13 years, Web Debt Solutions, LLC has an 'upper hand' as far as customer satisfaction, well balanced agency, that can provide a long and sturdy client base coming from all backgrounds, nationalities, and countries to sustain the company for years to come. The main operations: The company's primary duty as a collection agency is to recover and collect delinquencies from debtors and businesses that would be deemed noncollectable by client, vendor, or any person(s) or businesses that extends any form of credit, and to purchase any debts by person(s) or business that offers accounts for sale to relieve original creditor duties of recovering debts.

For now about 10,000 sq feet of the space has been utilized, thus the reason for the Tier 1 Offering so that the office and business can expand and bring in more clients, employees, and customers. Item 9 Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (a) Being that Web Debt Solutions, LLC started in 2014 with the owner already 15 years in the industry, the company started off in a gross profit from the 1st and 2nd month. Originally starting up doing debt purchasing and 3rd party collections for some of the major and minor clients such as: Regions Bank, Yonkers Teachers Federal Credit Union, and Centura Urgent Care. Working in an industry that has a mixture of many forms of issuance of credit, collecting debt on delinquencies can prove to be a task depending on the type of client, age, amount, and other specific factors. With this, it changes the sales that come in, revenues produced, and of course affects the operations of the company from year to year. To get a better understanding of the company from an investors point of view: The operations of the company, Web Debt Solutions, LLC is one to be quite diverse and detailed to explain the full operations from start to finish from each department in making up the whole of the collection agency. The collection attorney, which a necessity to act as a legal representation to ensure that the company is protected in a legal manner, ensuring that company is safe free from all forms of litigation and fines from the interstate commerce, clients, vendors, and customers. In the event a mishap takes place, the attorney will represent the company in taking action to keep fines, costs, losses, disputes, or damages against the company to minimum. Due to regulatory laws ever changing, the company's collection attorney will safeguard and continually update company is regards to these changes, and interacting with compliance manager ensuring every employee of the company is tested and certified that they are knowledgeable and adhere to the changes of rules, laws, and regulations. Per the Annual income statement from 2014 and 2015, the revenues increased from the very beginning of Web Debt Solutions. LLC. The revenues grossed in 2 months alone was over $3,643,000. Being that the owner has 15 years of experience in the industry, the move from another company to a start up with the continuance of clients and customer base made it fairly smooth to transition over. Being that the company is 1st, 3rd party and also does debt purchasing and a startup, Web Debt Solutions, LLC has some liquid able assets that has a valuation will over $15,000,0000. In terms of short term lquidablitity, having equity stock with the company can and will generate more revenue and help increase the value of the company. (d) The biggest trend right now with the company is that in the last quarter, more clients tend to drop more business, making the last quarter usually the highest months of revenues generated.
