Irie Tools (Business & Technology)

Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Jamaica, there lived a man with a lot of books (fiction & non-fiction). He bought almost all of his books from a magic store, called Amazon. Amazon was in in a far away kingdom but the man had a computer (I mean magic transportation device) that he used to instantly travel to Amazon. At Amazon he would find thousands of books of every description, the magic store would even talk to him and suggest books that he could buy.

For years the man from Jamaica was happy, he loved his books and he loved Amazon. He loved Amazon because unlike other magic stores Amazon did not care that he lived in Jamaica, if he had the money pay for books the magic Amazon store would gladly sell them to him.

One day, the man from Jamaica heard that on the following day, Amazon would start selling a magic book reader that could store hundred of books. The man got so excited he could hardly go to sleep that night. As soon as he woke up, the next morning, the man rushed to his magic transportation device and poof he was at Amazon.

There waiting by the door was the magic book reader, called the Kindle. The Amazon store told him many things about the Kindle, but the most important thing Amazon told the man was “Wireless connectivity enables you to shop the Kindle Store directly from your Kindle—whether you’re in the back of a taxi, at the airport, or in bed”. The store seemed quite excited about this “wireless connectivity” and how the Kindle did not need a magic transportation device. The man did not understand why the store was so excited about “wireless connectivity”, because with his magic transportation device he could buy books faster than he could read them (especially since he had other things to do during the day, besides reading books), so he did not care that he could buy books from the back of a taxi.

Eventually as the magic Amazon store continued to drone on about the Kindle, the man realized that he could not buy books for the Kindle in Jamaica. The man could only buy books for the Kindle if he travelled to the far away Kingdom where the Amazon store was located. So feeling very disappointed the man used his magic transportation device and returned home.

It has been a while since the last time I posted to this blog. Below are a few of things that have been happening with Irie Tools.

Incorporating Irie Tools

At first I thought incorporating a company would be simple, I had heard how the new Companies Act of Jamaica made incorporation in Jamaica so much easier than before. Well, that may be true but after doing some reading I decided I needed to get some legal advice. I eventually got a lawyer to handle the entire process for me, and everything went smoothly. I still think the process was unnecessarily complex and costly, but Irie Tools is no longer just a business name, it has been incorporated as a limited liability company (Irie Tools Limited) with the Office of the Registrar of Companies. There are still some loose end to tie up, I need to change the corporate address (I used a temporary address to start), and I have to appoint a company secretary.

Technology Innovation Centre

I am about to apply to the Technology Innovation Centre for Irie Tools Limited to be a virtual tenant. Assuming that my application is accepted, that should solve my corporate address problem. As a virtual tenance, I will not actually have an office at the TIC, but I can use them for my corporate address. The TIC is a really beautiful looking place and one of these days I hope to be a full tenant.
