 Advantages

• Already operational

• Clean sheets 

• Can (and will) be subcontracted to perform

some TCBL tasks

• A 25-year-long experience in EU projects and

programmes, especially in, but not limited to,
the T&C sector
First task: SSO maintenance
Second task: eShop(s) - example

 Header

 Best offers

 Bestsellers

 Footer
 Key distinctive characteristics of the eShops

• NOT a generalist portal (like e.g. H&M)

• BUT a collection of individual eShops for the TCBL

associates willing to join

• AND an analogous collection for the TCBL advisors,

willing to showcase their services

• A single look&feel with diversified and not

overlapping product/service offerings
 Deployment plan

• February: definition of templates and invitation letters

for TCBL associates / advisors
• To be understood: the service will be free but each transaction
generating a commission fee TBD

• March: collection of materials from serviced entities

• To be understood: no direct connection with TCBL at this stage,
apart from the common “branding”

• April/June: all planned eShops are up and running

• To be defined: clear and explicit connection with the TCBL
protocol and UCV’s “talking label” project
 Plan for defining the new shareholder capital

• Call for Expressions of Interest (repeated on MyMinds), deadline

end February

• Legal entities excluded, sorry 

• Proposed governance model: no single shareholder with more

than 3-5% of capital (depending on number of received
subscriptions), then board of managers and CEO

• Target: €50.000, of which €13-14.000 to buy existing shares and

the remainder to finance development

• Timeframe: May/June 2019 (general assembly to approve the

new entries and liquidate the old shareholders)
 Other possible revenue sources

• Supporting the TCBL Foundation in a variety of directions as per

their requirements formulated (maybe) in the context of a future
call for tender
• Examples: mentoring/auditing the companies adhering to the
TCBL protocol, handling some tasks related to the yearly
conference and/or to web communication/dissemination, other
SSO related tasks etc.

• Acting as a TCBL advisor to respond to individual consultancy

demands from TCBL associates (if some shareholders have any
spare time)

• A global membership initiative addressing responsible buyers

worldwide, with a special fidelity and discount card (details to be
provided)
