A startup idea to make £56 Million in one week

Here is my idea to making £56 million in one week. Any investors out there?

1. Start a Credit Reference Agency

2. Get loads of people's credit information.

3. Wait 'til the government loses 28 million items of personal information.

4. Charge two pounds per reference check.

5. After one week, sell to someone else who can make cash the next time it happens.

6. Check the bank account to see your lovely £56 Million.

Oh crap, someone stole it when they got your credit details. Doh!


This is obvously tounge-in-cheek but this is what they are asking you to do. Credit Agencies must be loving it!
