Meant to add…
I am in a position to keep, say, 21% ownership, so that an investor *could* come in at 79%, if they wanted to. I don’t know if “less exposure” would be a favoured option or not, but just thought I’d mention the option. But then I don’t entirely understand what it would mean to somehow share ownership with an investor… i.e. what the positives and negatives of that might be, as well as how much more complicated the legals would need to be.

Hi onemind and others,
Great question and it deserves to be asked from any site you transact with.
This site follows internet best practice to the letter.
All key information of yours is stored in a secure database and things like your password are encrypted, so even someone looking at the database directly can’t work it out.
When you purchase something your credit card details are passed to the intermediary agency (between this site and the bank itself) and never stored here. This means even if someone could steal the database behind this site, they would never get to your private credit card details… because they’re not here!
The “intermediary agency” is one of Australia’s leading online transaction services with all the bells and whistles you’d expect in terms of security.
Finally, as has been pointed out, the checkout and payment pages are encrypted (the lock on the bottom of your browser signifies this), which is the same level of security your bank applies. What this means is that if someone could work out how to capture the information travelling from your computer to this website (and back again) as you sent your credit card and other details across, it would be unintelligible gobbledy-gook that only CIA/NSA computers could do anything with (maybe!).
The clearest proof of the (typical) security level of purchasing online is the fact that the serious breaches of security over the last few years have been over in the US where humans have got into the big central credit bureau computers and manually stolen files and such… in other words the hackers are focussed elsewhere.
Hope that helps a little. I certainly buy online all the time. I make sure the supplier is reputable and/or traceable back to a person/street address/etc, and take other basic measures like that to protect myself.

OK… so maybe I was working on it when you posted!
It’s there for as long as my ego needs a stroke [biggrin]

Good idea Kay!
Now I don’t have to feel like a show-off. I can just say I was taking up your suggestion []

Folks,
We have seen from time to time an application form come thru completely blank! This suggest some kind of transitory problem with the submission form. The problem is we can’t determine who the submitter was and contact them!
We’re looking into it and apologise to those few people affected. If you have not heard within 48hrs, I CAN ASSURE YOU it’s not the team at Edenlea Mortgages, and rather a problem with our form.
If you haven’t heard back please resubmit the form. If you leave the notification email checkbox checked at the bottom of the form, and do not receive an email almost instantly (or if the form is blank), you know you’re one of the very few our form has an issue with!
I also want to hear from you if this is the case because I’m trying to find the Naughty Gremlin []
Hope this makes sense.

getahead,
This site is built to look about 95% right to someone who has a 800X600 screen. Now mine is a 19″ running 1280X1024 and I have a stack of room left over on the right, as do you, by the sounds of it.
One solution is just to shrink your window so it looks a bit tighter.
One day we’ll change things when the great majority of people are up at 1024X768 but that’s not for a while!
Cheers,
Alister

Yeah it’s a tad confusing to me too and I’m meant to be the brains here! I’ll try and work it out for you.
Stay posted.
