We are offering for sale a total of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a fixed price of $0.005 per share for the duration of this Offering (the "Offering"). There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us for the Offering to proceed, and we will retain the proceeds from the sale of any of the offered shares. The Offering is being conducted on a self-underwritten, best efforts basis, which means our President and Chief Executive Officer, Sonu Ram, will attempt to sell the shares directly to friends, family members and business acquaintances. Mr. Ram will not receive commission or any other remuneration for such sales. In offering the securities on our behalf, Mr. Ram will rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

 

The shares will be offered for sale at a fixed price of $0.005 per share for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the effective date of this prospectus, unless extended by our Board of Directors for an additional ninety (90) days. If all of the shares offered by us are purchased, the gross proceeds to us will be $50,000.  However, since the Offering is being conducted on a "best-efforts" basis, there is no minimum number of shares that must be sold, meaning the Company shall retain any proceeds from the sale of the shares sold hereunder.  Accordingly, all funds raised hereunder will become immediately available to the Company and will be used in accordance with the Company’s intended “Use of Proceeds” as set forth herein, investors are advised that they will not be entitled to a refund and could lose their entire investment.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights material information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risk factors section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. You should also review the other available information referred to in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus and any amendment or supplement hereto.

 

Company Overview

 

Cosmo Ventures, Inc. (“Cosmo Ventures” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 3, 2013. We are a development stage company that plans to commence operations as an online retailer offering discounted overstocked inventory items. We will procure merchandise purchased from the surplus inventories of manufacturers and retailers throughout India. Sonu Ram, who is currently our sole officer and director, founded our Company. Our headquarters are located at 1516 E. Tropicana Ave, Suite 155, Las Vegas, NV 89119.

 

Our mission is to provide consumers with a variety of quality products at bargain prices. Our goal is to attract and maintain customers, and to exceed their expectations. We will offer customers an easy to use website and distribution system.

 

Although we were only recently incorporated and have not yet commenced substantive operations, we believe that conducting this Offering will allow the Company added flexibility to raise capital in today's financial climate. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our attempt to sell 100% of the shares being registered hereunder; however, we believe that investors in today's markets demand more transparency and by our registering this Offering and becoming a reporting company, we will be able to capitalize on this fact. While we believe that our limited reporting requirements will satisfy most investors seeking transparency in any potential investment, we still caution that simply because we have a registration statement declared effective the Company will not become a “fully reporting” company, but rather, we will be only subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) if we have less than 300 shareholders at the beginning of our fiscal year and our required disclosure is less extensive than the disclosures required of “fully reporting” companies. For example, we are not subject to disclose in our Form 10K risk factors, unresolved staff comments, or selected financial data, pursuant to Items 1A, 1B, 6, respectively.

 

Since inception, our operations have consisted of incorporating our Company and formulating our business plan. The Company intends to begin substantive operations within 2-3 months after we obtain a Notice of Effectiveness of this Offering and our initial plan of operations calls for the Company to begin marketing our services to potential business clients. We hope to realize our full plan of operations by raising money through the sale of our securities, as contemplated within this Offering. We believe that if we are able to raise the full amount of funds contemplated herein, we would be able to launch our Company and properly market our website services.

Although our sole officer and director has only recently become interested in the ecommerce industry, and does not have any professional training or technical credentials in the development and maintenance of such a company, he has a degree in marketing and has experience running a business. We intend to retain qualified website developers to build and maintain our website that we envision. We also plan to hire qualified marketing and sales personnel staff if we are successful in raising capital through this Offering. We do not have any verbal or written agreements regarding the retention of any qualified personnel to date.

 

Although the Company has no market for its common stock, management believes that the Company will meet all requirements to be quoted on the OTC market, and even though the Company’s common stock will likely be a penny stock, becoming a reporting company will provide us with enhanced visibility and give us a greater possibility to provide liquidity to our shareholders.

 

We are currently a development stage company and to date we have recorded no revenue. Accordingly, our independent registered public accountants have issued a comment regarding our ability to continue as a going concern (please refer to the footnotes to the financial statements). Until such time that we are able to establish a consistent flow of revenues from our operations which is sufficient to sustain our operating needs, management intends to rely primarily upon debt financing to supplement cash flows, if any, generated by our services. We will seek out such financing as necessary to allow the Company to continue to grow our business operations, and to cover such cost as professional fees, associated with being a reporting Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); we estimate such costs to be approximately $10,000 for 12 months following this Offering. The Company has included such costs to become a publicly reporting company in its targeted expenses for working capital expenses and intends to seek out reasonable loans from friends, family and business acquaintances if it becomes necessary. At this point we have been funded by our sole officer and director, and have not received any firm commitments or indications from any family, friends or business acquaintances regarding any potential investment in the Company.

 

Our current cash and working capital is not sufficient to cover our current estimated expenses of $10,000, which include those fees associated obtaining a Notice of Effectiveness from the SEC for this Registration Statement. We hope that we will be able to secure additional financing, and complete this Offering within the coming months. Upon obtaining effectiveness, we will conduct the Offering contemplated hereby, and anticipate raising sufficient capital from this Offering to market and grow our Company. We believe that the maximum amount of funds generated from the Offering will provide us with enough proceeds to fund our plan of operations for up to twelve months after the completion of this Offering. Assuming we generate nominal revenues, we may still require additional financing to fund our operations past the twelve-month period following the completion of this Offering if the maximum amount of funds is not raised. While our ability to generate revenue is not correlated directly to the amount of shares sold by us under this Offering, our potential to generate revenue can be affected by our marketing and advertising strategies and the amount of personnel the Company employs. These factors are directly related to the amount of proceeds we receive from this Offering, which corresponds to the number of shares we are successful in selling under this Offering (see “Use of Proceeds” chart). We believe we can begin generating revenues within the first three months following the successful completion of this Offering. As we are a start-up company, it is unclear how much revenue our operations will generate; however, it is our hopes that our revenues will exceed our costs. Our revenues will be impacted by how successful and well targeted was the execution of our marketing campaign, the general condition of the economy, and the number of clients we will attract. For a further discussion of our initial operations, plan of operations, growth strategy and marketing strategy see the below section entitled “Description of Business”.

 

Neither the Company nor Mr. Ram or any other affiliated or unaffiliated entity has any plans to use the Company as a vehicle for a private company to become a reporting company once Cosmo Ventures becomes a reporting Company. Additionally, we do not believe the Company is a blank check company as defined in Section a(2) of Rule 419 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended because the Company has a specific business plan and has no plans or intentions to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified entity.

SUMMARY OF THIS OFFERING

 

     
The Issuer   Cosmo Ventures, Inc.
     
Securities being offered   Up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, our Common Stock is described in further detail in the section of this prospectus titled “DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES – Common Stock.”
     
Offering Type   The Offering is being conducted on a self-underwritten, best efforts basis, there is no minimum number of shares that must be sold by us for the Offering to proceed, and we will retain the proceeds from the sale of any of the offered shares.
     
Per Share Price   $0.005
     
No Revocation   Once you submit a Subscription Agreement and the Company accepts it, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request a refund of monies paid. All accepted subscriptions are irrevocable, even if you subsequently learn information about us that you consider to be materially unfavorable.
     
No Public Market  

There is no public market for our Common Stock. We cannot give any assurance that the shares being offered will have a market value, or that they can be resold at the offered price if and when an active secondary market might develop, or that a public market for our securities may be sustained even if developed. The absence of a public market for our stock will make it difficult to sell your shares.

 

We intend to apply to the OTCBB, through a market maker that is a licensed broker dealer, to allow the trading of our Common Stock upon our becoming a reporting entity under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

     
Duration of Offering   The shares are offered for a period not to exceed 180 days, unless extended by our Board of Directors or an additional 90 days.
     
Number of Shares Outstanding Before the Offering   There are 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, held solely by our Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary, Sonu Ram.
     
Registration Costs   We estimate our total costs relating to the registration herein shall be approximately $10,000.00.
     
Net Proceeds to the Company   The Company is offering 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value at an offering price of $0.005 per Share for net proceeds to the Company at $50,000. The full subscription price will be payable at the time of subscription and any such funds received from subscribers in this Offering will be released to the Company when subscriptions are received and accepted.
     
Use of Proceeds   If the maximum amount of funds is raised, we intend to fund our operations and then implement our business plan. If we sell 5% or less of our shares under the Offering, we will have to seek out additional capital from alternate sources to pay our existing liabilities and execute our business plan. If such funds are not available, our business would likely fail and any investment would be lost. No assurance can be given that the net proceeds from the total number of shares offered hereby or any lesser net amount will be sufficient to accomplish our goals.
     
Risk Factors   An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth under the “Risk Factors” section herein and the other information contained in this prospectus before making an investment decision regarding our Common Stock.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our Common Stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. Currently, shares of our Common Stock are not publicly traded. In the event that shares of our Common Stock become publicly traded, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. In the event our Common Stock fails to become publicly traded you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING

 

As there is no minimum for our Offering, if only a few persons purchase shares, they will lose their investment without the Company being able to make a significant attempt at implementation of its business plan.

 

Since there is no minimum amount of shares that must be sold directly by the Company under this Offering, if a limited number of shares are sold, we may not have enough capital to fully implement our plan of operations. If we are able to sell 5% or less of the offered shares the proceeds would not be enough to cover our anticipated offering expenses of approximately $10,000. As such, we may not be able to meet the objectives we state in this prospectus, or eliminate the “going concern” modification in the reports of our auditors as to uncertainty with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we would expect to have insufficient funds for our ongoing operating expenses. Any significant lack of funds will curtail the growth of our business and may cause our business to fail.  If our business fails, investors will lose their entire investment.

 

We are a development stage company with no operating history and may never be able to carry out our plan of operations or achieve any significant revenues or profitability.  At this stage of our business, even with our good faith efforts, potential investors have a high probability of losing their entire investment.

 

We are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, and we have not generated any revenues to date. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon the successful development, marketing and sales of our proposed website and products, which are subject to numerous industry-related risk factors as set forth herein. Accordingly, we may not be able to successfully carry out our plan of operations and any investor may lose their entire investment.

 

We are selling this Offering without an underwriter and may be unable to sell any shares.

 

This Offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares.  We intend to sell our shares through our President and Chief Executive Officer, who will receive no commissions or other remuneration from any sales made hereunder. He will offer the shares to friends, family members, and business associates; however, there is no guarantee that he will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless he is successful in selling all of the shares and we receive the maximum amount of proceeds from this Offering, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement our plan of operations.

 

We may not be able to further implement our business strategy unless sufficient funds are raised in this Offering. Our inability to raise additional funds could cause investors to lose their investment. Additionally, we may have to seek additional capital through the sale of additional shares or other equity securities, which would result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

 

We may not realize sufficient proceeds from this Offering to further business development, or to provide adequate cash flow for planned business activities. At March 31, 2013 we had cash on hand of $4,675 and accumulated a deficit of $1,825 . We have not generated any revenue from our operations to date. At this rate, we expect that we will not be able to continue operations without obtaining additional funding or beginning to generate revenue. Accordingly, we anticipate that additional funding will be needed for general administrative expenses, business development, marketing costs and support materials.

 

We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and our obtaining additional financing will be subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions, investor acceptance of our plan of operations and initial results from our business operations. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be available or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us. Failure to raise additional financing will cause us to go out of business. If this happens, you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

 

 

7

Because Mr. Sonu Ram, currently owns 100% of our outstanding Common Stock, investors may find that corporate decisions influenced by Mr. Ram are inconsistent with the best interests of other stockholders.

 

Mr. Ram, our sole officer and director, currently owns 100% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, and, upon completion of this Offering, will own 33.33% of our outstanding Common Stock if the maximum number of shares is sold. Accordingly, Mr. Ram will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. While we have no current plans with regard to any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of our assets, the interests of Mr. Ram may still differ from the interests of the other stockholders.

 

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

At March 31, 2013, the Company has not generated revenue, has no certainty of earning revenues in the future, and has a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit of $1,825 since inception. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to generate future revenues will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include general economic conditions, market acceptance of our marketplace platform, proposed products and competitive efforts. Due to these factors, we cannot anticipate with any degree of certainty what our revenues will be in future periods. As such, our independent registered public accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or otherwise. You should consider our independent registered public accountant’s comments when determining if an investment in the Company is suitable.

 

You may have limited access to information regarding our business because we are a limited reporting company exempt from many regulatory requirements and our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.

 

The Company will not become a fully reporting company, but rather, will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of effectiveness of our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying (see “Where You Can Find More Information” elsewhere in this prospectus). Except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) if we have less than 300 shareholders at the beginning of our fiscal year. We currently have fewer than 300 shareholders and if we continue to have fewer than 300 shareholders, we will be exempt from the filing requirements as required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act and will not be required to file any periodic reports, including Form 10Q and 10K filings, with the SEC subsequent to the Form 10K required for the fiscal year in which our registration statement is effective. Further, disclosures in our Form 10K that we will be required to file for the fiscal year in which our registration statement is effective, is less extensive than the disclosures required of fully reporting companies. Specifically, we are not subject to disclose in our Form 10K risk factors, unresolved staff comments, or selected financial data, pursuant to Items 1A, 1B, 6, respectively. If the reports are not filed or are less extensive than those required of fully reporting companies, the investors will have reduced visibility as to the Company and its financial condition.

 

In addition, as a filer subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company is not required to prepare proxy or information statements, and our common stock will not be subject to the protection of the ongoing private regulations. Additionally, the Company will be subject to only limited portions of the tender offer rules, and our officers, directors, and more than ten (10%) percent shareholders are not required to file beneficial ownership reports about their holdings in our Company, and will not be subject to the short-swing profit recovery provisions of the Exchange Act. Further, more than five percent (5%) holders of classes of our equity securities will not be required to report information about their ownership positions in the securities. This means that your access to information regarding our business will be limited.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

Key management personnel may leave the Company, which could adversely affect the ability of the Company to continue operations.

 

The Company is entirely dependent on the efforts of our CEO and President because of the time and effort that he devotes to the Company. He is in charge of overseeing all development strategies, supervising any/all future personnel, including any consultants or contractors that we engage to assist in developing our website platform, and the establishment of our future sales and marketing team. The loss of him, or other key personnel in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company does not maintain “key person” life insurance on its officers, directors or key employees. Our success will depend on the performance of Mr. Ram and our ability to attract and motivate other key personnel.

 

Presently, the Company’s president has other outside business activities and as such he is not devoting all of his time to the Company, which may result in periodic interruptions or business failure.

 

Our sole officer and director, Mr. Ram, has no other outside business activities and he is committed to devote approximately 40 hours per week to our operations. Our operations may be sporadic and occur at times when Mr. Ram is unavailable, which may lead to the periodic interruption in the implementation of our business plan. Such delays could have a significant negative effect on the success of the business.

 

The lack of public company experience of our sole officer and director could adversely impact our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of U.S. securities laws.

 

Our sole officer and director, Mr. Ram, lacks public company experience, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. He has never been responsible for managing a publicly traded company and he has had limited experience with accounting and financial matters. As the sole officer and director of a public company, Mr. Ram’ responsibilities include complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. Mr. Ram may not be able to implement programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to such increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, including establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting.  

 

Additionally, Mr. Ram’ limited financial and accounting experience may affect his ability to develop effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy in which event investors could lose their entire investment in our Company.

 

We have a rapidly evolving business model and our proposed products and service offerings could fail to attract or retain subscribers or generate revenue.

 

Because we are a development stage company, we have a rapidly evolving business model and are regularly exploring the development of our proposed platform and the introduction of our proposed products and features with respect to which we may have limited experience. In addition, our customers may not respond favorably to our products and services once launched.  If products or services we introduce fail to engage customers, we may fail to acquire or retain enough business or generate sufficient revenue or other value to justify our investment, and our business may be materially and adversely affected. Our ability to retain or increase our customer base and revenue will depend heavily on our ability to innovate and to create successful products and services.

 

9

 

If we are unable to maintain favorable terms with our subscribing consumers, our expected gross profit may be adversely affected.

 

The success of our business depends in part on our ability to retain and increase the number of consumers who use our proposed platform and services. When a consumer purchases a discounted overstocked product from our website, the consumer must see significant value in their purchase. If consumers decide that utilizing our services does not provide adequate value, they may deactivate our services. This would adversely affect our gross profit.

 

If our products do not meet the needs and expectations of our consumers, our business could suffer.

 

Our business will depend on a reputation for providing high-quality overstocked products to our consumers, and our brand and reputation may be harmed by actions that are outside our control. Any shortcomings of one or more of our products, particularly with respect to an issue affecting the quality of products sold, may be attributed by our end-user consumers to us, thus damaging our reputation, brand value and potentially affecting our results of operations. In addition, negative publicity and consumer sentiment generated as a result of fraudulent or deceptive conduct could damage our reputation, reduce our ability to attract new consumers or retain our current consumers and diminish the value of our brand.

 

Our business is highly competitive. Competition presents an ongoing threat to the success of our business.

 

We believe the market for selling overstocked items in an online marketplace is a relatively new, yet growing industry. Our Company will compete for the sales with many up-and-coming online marketplace providers. We expect to compete with these other service providers principally on the bases of the quality of services we will be able to offer and our Company's ability to acquire and retain personnel to market and sell our proposed services. Our Company will also compete on the bases of product price. Our principal competitors include Amazon, eBay, and Overstock, all of which offer services similar to our proposed services. Numerous other second tier resellers are entering into the marketplace.

 

We anticipate that most, if not all, of our competitors will have greater name and brand recognition and access to greater amounts of capital and established relationships with a larger base of current and potential customers. Because of their size and bargaining power, our competitors may be able to purchase equipment, supplies and services at lower prices than us in the initial stages of our development. As a result, our operations may be significantly and negatively impacted by our larger, more established competitors.  

 

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to manage the growth of our Company effectively.

 

We plan to experience rapid growth in demand for our services once we are able to launch our proposed platform. We expect our number of employees and number of consumers to increase once we launch our website, and we expect our growth to continue for the foreseeable future. The growth and expansion of our business and service offerings could place significant demands on our management and our operational and financial resources. We will need to manage multiple relations with various merchants, subscribers, technology licensors and other third parties. To effectively manage our growth, we will need to continually implement operational plans and strategies, improve and expand our infrastructure of people and information systems, and train and manage our employee base.

 

Government regulation of the Internet and e-commerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these regulations could substantially harm our business and results of operations.

 

We will be subject to general business regulations and laws as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the Internet and e-commerce. Existing and future regulations and laws could impede the growth of the Internet or other online services. These regulations and laws may involve taxation, tariffs, subscriber privacy, data protection, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, the provision of online payment services and the characteristics and quality of services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the Internet as the vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and do not contemplate or address the unique issues raised by the Internet or e-commerce.

 

Failure to comply with federal and state privacy laws and regulations, or the expansion of current or the enactment of new privacy laws or regulations, could adversely affect our business.

 

A variety of federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of consumer data. The existing privacy-related laws and regulations are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. In addition, various federal and state legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws regarding privacy matters. For example there have been Congressional hearings and increased attention to the capture and use of location-based information relating to users of smartphones and other mobile devices. We will post privacy policies and practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of subscriber data on our website and future applications. Several Internet companies have incurred penalties for failing to abide by the representations made in their privacy policies and practices. In addition, several states have adopted legislation that requires businesses to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to protect sensitive personal information and to provide notice to consumers in the event of a security breach. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, Federal Trade Commission requirements or orders or other federal or state privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations or industry self-regulatory principles could result in claims, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, a failure or perceived failure to comply with industry standards or with our own privacy policies and practices could result in a loss of subscribers or merchants and adversely affect our business. Federal and state governmental authorities continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party web "cookies" for behavioral advertising. The regulation of these cookies and other current online advertising practices could adversely affect our business.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties.

 

We will regard our consumer list and any intellectual property we may acquire, including trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technology and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and we will rely on trademark, copyright and patent law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our future employees and others to protect our proprietary rights. Effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every area in which our services are made available. Furthermore, regulations governing domain names may not protect our trademarks and similar proprietary rights. We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring and using domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or diminish the value of our trademarks and other proprietary rights. We may be unable to prevent third parties from using and registering our trademarks, or trademarks that are similar to, or diminish the value of our trademark.  

 

Our business may be subject to seasonal sales fluctuations that could result in volatility or have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Our business, like that of our potential subscribing merchants, may be subject to some degree of sales seasonality. As we grow our Company, these seasonal fluctuations may become more evident. Seasonality may cause our working capital cash flow requirements to vary from quarter to quarter depending on the variability in the volume and timing of sales. These factors, among other things, make forecasting more difficult and may adversely affect our ability to manage working capital and to predict financial results accurately, which could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

We will be subject to payments-related risks.

 

We plan to accept payments using a variety of methods, including credit card, debit card and gift certificates. As we offer new payment options to consumers, we may be subject to additional regulations, compliance requirements and fraud. For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we will pay interchange and other fees, which may increase over time and raise our operating costs and lower profitability. We will rely on third parties to provide payment-processing services, including the processing of credit cards and debit cards and it could disrupt our business if these companies become unwilling or unable to provide these services to us. We will also subject to payment card association operating rules, certification requirements and rules governing electronic funds transfers, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. If we fail to comply with these rules or requirements, we may be subject to fines and higher transaction fees and lose our ability to accept credit and debit card payments from consumers or facilitate other types of online payments, and our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

RISKS RELATING TO THE COMMON STOCK

 

The Company’s stock price may be volatile.

 

The market price of the Company’s Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various potential factors, many of which will be beyond the Company’s control, including the following:

 

· services by the Company or its competitors;

· additions or departures of key personnel;

· the Company’s ability to execute its business plan;

· operating results that fall below expectations;

· industry developments;

· economic and other external factors; and

· period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

As a public company, we will incur substantial expenses.

 

Upon declared effectiveness of this Registration Statement by the SEC, we will become subject to the information and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. The U.S. securities laws require, among other things, review, audit, and public reporting of our financial results, business activities, and other matters. Recent SEC regulation, including regulation enacted as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has also substantially increased the accounting, legal, and other costs related to becoming and remaining an SEC reporting company. If we do not have current information about our Company available to market makers, they will not be able to trade our stock. The public company costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders, will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we were privately-held. In addition, we are incurring substantial expenses in connection with the preparation of this Registration Statement. These increased costs may be material and may include the hiring of additional employees and/or the retention of additional advisors and professionals. Our failure to comply with the federal securities laws could result in private or governmental legal action against us and/or our sole officer and director, which could have a detrimental effect on our business and finances, the value of our stock, and the ability of stockholders to resell their stock.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that relate to the application of the SEC’s penny stock rules in trading our securities and require that a broker/dealer have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer, prior to recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker/dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our Common Stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our Common Stock, reducing a shareholder’s ability to resell shares of our Common Stock.

 

12

 

We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from new requirements under section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

In addition to the costs of compliance with having our shares listed on the OTCBB, there are substantial penalties that could be imposed upon us if we fail to comply with all regulatory requirements. In particular, under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as a smaller reporting company, our management will be required to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, beginning with our second annual report, and we will not be required to provide an auditor’s attestation regarding such report. We have not assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting, and we expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management’s time as a result of performing the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification requirements. Additionally, investors should be aware of the risk that management may assess and render the Company’s internal controls ineffective, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or result of operations.

 

If a market for our Common Stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.

 

A market for our Common Stock may never develop. We intend to contact an authorized OTC Bulletin Board market-maker for sponsorship of our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, there is no guarantee that our shares will be traded on the Bulletin Board, or, if traded, a public market may not materialize. If our Common Stock is not traded on the Bulletin Board or if a public market for our Common Stock does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the shares of our Common Stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment.

 

The Company’s Common Stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

 

The Company’s Common Stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities.

 

The elimination of monetary liability against the Company’s existing and future directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights to the Company’s existing and future directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by the Company and may discourage lawsuits against the Company’s directors, officers and employees.

 

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation contain specific provisions that eliminate the liability of directors for monetary damages to the Company and the Company’s stockholders; further, the Company is prepared to give such indemnification to its existing and future directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law. The Company may also have contractual indemnification obligations under any employment agreements it may have with its officers and directors. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which the Company may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage the Company from bringing a lawsuit against existing and future directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by the Company’s stockholders against the Company’s existing and future directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

As a result of there being no established public market for our shares, the offering price and other terms and conditions relative to our shares have been arbitrarily determined by the Company and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value, or any other objective criteria of value. In addition, no investment banker, appraiser, or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

This Offering is being made without the involvement of underwriters or broker-dealers. This means we will receive $50,000 if all of the shares of Common Stock offered hereunder are purchased. However, we cannot guarantee that we will sell any or all of the shares being offered by us. The table below estimates our use of proceeds, given the varying levels of success of the Offering.

If 100% of the offered shares are sold we will receive the maximum proceeds of $40,000, after offering expenses have been paid.  We intend to allocate $1,000 to the hosting and servers needed to develop our platform and website. We will also budget $4,000 to hire a website/software developers for the development and continued maintenance of our proposed marketplace platform through the first twelve months. We intend to employ a full-time marking and sales representatives at $25,000. For our marketing campaign, we will budget $7,000 for marketing materials to properly launch our Company. Further, we will use $1,000 of our net proceeds for working capital, including administrative and professional fees.

 

If 75% of the offered shares are sold we will receive $27,500, after offering expenses have been paid.  We still intend to allocate $1,000 to the hosting and servers, and $2,500 to hire a website/software developers for the development and continued maintenance of our proposed marketplace platform through the first twelve months. In this case we still intend to employ a part-time marketing and sales representatives at $17,000. However, we will cut our budget to $5,000 for marketing materials in order to launch our Company.

 

If 50% of the offered shares are sold we will receive $15,000, after offering expenses have been paid.  We still intend to allocate $1,000 to the hosting and servers, and $1,000 to hire a website/software developers for the development and continued maintenance of our proposed marketplace platform through the first twelve months. In this case we only intend to employ one part-time marketing and sales representative at $9,000. We will also cut our marketing materials budget significantly to $2,000 in order to launch our Company. Further, we will have only $1,000 allocated for working capital, including administrative and professional fees.

 

The funds from this Offering will not be used to pay Mr. Ram for his services to the Company, whether provided prior to, during, or subsequent to the Offering. There can be no assurance that the Company will raise any funds through this Offering and if a limited amount of funds are raised, the Company will use such funds according to their best judgment in accordance with the “Use of Proceeds” chart. This discretion is not unlimited and any such change in the use of proceeds as discussed above would be restricted to a proportionate reduction in funds allocated to each specific item listed, and would not differ materially from the “Use of Proceeds” chart above. To the extent our offering proceeds do not cover any professional fees incurred by the Company, we anticipate paying for any such expenses out of any additional funding or revenues we receive.

 

If we require additional funding, we will seek such funds from friends, family, and business acquaintances in order to continue our operations. As with any form of financing, there are uncertainties concerning the availability of such funds on terms acceptable to us, as we have not received any firm commitments or indications of interest from our friends, family members, or business acquaintances regarding potential investments in our Company.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION; TERMS OF THE OFFERING

 

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Company is registering an additional 10,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for sale at the price of $0.005 per share. There is no arrangement to address the possible effect of the Offering on the price of the stock.

 

In connection with the Company’s selling efforts in the Offering, Sonu Ram will not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but rather will rely upon the “safe harbor” provisions of SEC Rule 3a4-1, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an Offering of the issuer’s securities. Mr. Ram is not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. Mr. Ram will not be compensated in connection with his participation in the Offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. Mr. Ram is not, nor has he been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and he is not, nor has he been within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the Offering, Mr. Ram will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities. Mr. Ram has not participated in another offering of securities pursuant to the Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1 in the past 12 months. Additionally, he has not and will not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on the Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).

 

In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities will be offered or sold in those states only if they have been registered or qualified for sale; an exemption from such registration or if qualification requirement is available and with which the Company has complied. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration Statement is effective.

Penny Stock Regulation

 

Our Common Shares are not quoted on any stock exchange or quotation system. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange system).

 

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:

 

· contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

· contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties;

· contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

· contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

· defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and,

· contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with the following, prior to proceeding with any transaction in a penny stock:

 

· bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

· details of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

· the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and,

· monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

 

Offering Period and Expiration Date

 

This Offering will start on the date this Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and continue for a period of 180 days. We may extend the offering period for an additional 90 days, unless the Offering is completed or otherwise terminated by us.

 

Procedures for Subscribing

 

Once the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, if you decide to subscribe for any shares in this Offering, you must:

 

1.     receive, review and execute and deliver a Subscription Agreement; and

 

2.     deliver a check or certified funds to us for acceptance or rejection.

 

Any potential investor will have ample time to review the Subscription Agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision. The Company shall only deliver such Subscription Documents upon request after a potential investor has had ample opportunity to review this prospectus. Further, we will not accept any money until this Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.

 

Right to Reject Subscriptions

 

We have the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason. All monies from rejected subscriptions will be returned immediately by us to the subscriber, without interest or deductions.

 

Acceptance of Subscriptions

 

Upon the Company’s acceptance of a Subscription Agreement and receipt of full payment, the Company shall countersign the Subscription Agreement and issue a stock certificate along with a copy of the Subscription Agreement.

 

Once you submit the Subscription Agreement and it is accepted, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request a refund of monies paid.  All accepted Subscription Agreements are irrevocable, even if you subsequently learn information about the Company that you consider to be materially unfavorable.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Common Stock

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per Share. There are no provisions in our charter or Bylaws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in our control.

Such provisions include the ability of our Board of Directors to issue a series of preferred stock and the limited ability of stockholders to call a special meeting. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President, or the Secretary, by resolution of the Board of Directors, or at the request in writing of one or more stockholders owning shares in the aggregate entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes at the meeting, with such written request to state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and to be delivered to the Chairman of the Board, the President, or the Secretary.    In case of failure to call such meeting within 60 days after such request, such shareholder or shareholders may call the same.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Company Overview

 

Cosmo Ventures, Inc. (“Cosmo Ventures” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 3, 2013. We are a development stage company that plans to commence operations as an online retailer offering discounted overstocked inventory items. We intend to launch a web-based platform that will give our potential customers the ability to purchase our discounted products. Cosmo Ventures Inc. will procure merchandise purchased form the surplus inventories of manufacturers and retailers throughout India. Sonu Ram, who is currently our sole officer and director, founded our Company. Our headquarters are located at 1516 E Tropicana Ave, Suite 155, Las Vegas, NV 89119.

 

Although the sale of discounted overstock products in an online marketplace is not entirely new, we anticipate that this medium will continue to grow. We believe that by providing a simple, yet effective, website platform, Cosmo Ventures will become a sought after marketplace for our e-consumers.  Most cellular phones are equipped to handle text messages, emails, and mobile websites that contain information on our products. Having the ability to instantly contact potential customers both locally and nationwide is one of the major benefits of this marketing strategy. Cosmo Ventures can send instant coupons, promotional messages, and much more online to our opt-in subscribers.

 

We hope to realize our full plan of operations by raising money through the sale of our securities, as contemplated within this Offering. We believe that if we are able to raise the full amount of funds contemplated herein, we would be able to launch our Company and properly market our web and mobile platform. We will design a full marketing strategy to gain brand awareness, and ultimately obtain a large opt-in subscriber base.

 

Opportunity

 

Our mission is to provide consumers with a variety of quality products at bargain prices. We exist to attract and maintain customers, and to exceed their expectations. We will offer customers an easy to use website, mobile website, and an efficient distribution system. Merchandise being offered on our website will include bed-and-bath goods, home décor, kitchenware, furniture, watches and jewellery, apparel, electronics and computers, sporting goods, and other products. The initial region we will market our website is North America, but the Company could deliver many products to a great deal of international destinations. We currently have not signed a contract with a development firm to develop our website, cosmobargains.com. We currently have not advanced beyond the business place state from our inception until the date of this filing. In order to begin commercialization of our website, we will need to raise additional capital through the sale of our company offering if we become effective

 

As today's world moves toward mobile solutions, we believe consumers will be hard pressed to ignore the mobile marketplace. We feel that now is the time to develop and launch our Company before this industry becomes over-saturated with other companies trying to gain market share.

 

Industry Overview

 

The Company’s challenge will be the increasing competition to attract customers to the website. We believe that too often, sales are lost because of complex websites that are far from intuitive. We intend to operate in a very competitive market and on popular search engines such as Google, Firefox Mozilla, and similar sites. Through advertising on popular search engines, our potential customers begin their search for online merchandise through general searches rather than through the established platforms of our competitors. We intend to spend large sums on acquiring search engine promotions. The only way to overcome the search engine filtering by customers is to build a strong brand so that when customers look for value, they know that Cosmo Ventures provides it and start their search directly from our website. We believe in order to be successful, an online web retailer must be a low cost operator, own a strong brand, attract high consumer traffic, offering quality merchandise and great prices with superior customer service.

Current Operations

 

Since inception, our operations have primarily consisted of the organization of our business and the development of our business plan. Our business plan includes a three-phase plan that details the creation and launch of our proposed overstock product marketplace platform. Currently we are still in Phase 1 of our plan which includes following:

 

· formation of our Company;

· completion of our business plan;

· initial design of our platform; and

· the acquisition of additional funding.

 

All aspects of Phase 1 have been completed, with the exception of raising additional funding. To date, our founder, Sonu Ram, has conducted all operations. As such, upon incorporating our Company, Mr. Ram was named as the Company's sole officer and director. All operations have been funded by Mr. Ram to this point. Operations and expenditures have included the incorporation of Cosmo Ventures, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada, and the formation of an extensive business plan in which we have mapped out all of the initial products and services that we intend to offer to our suppliers and consumers once our marketplace platform is developed. Phase 1 will culminate with the completion of this Offering, which will hopefully allow us to raise capital through the sale of our securities and see us through Phases 2 and 3. Phase 2 involves hiring a software developer to help with the development and completion of our platforms and we do not intend on entering Phase 2 until the Company raises additional funding either through completion of this Offering or through third parties if the Company does not receive sufficient proceeds from this Offering. Further descriptions of Phases 2 and 3 of our business plan are included in the “Plan of Operations” section of this prospectus.

 

Products and Services

 

Cosmo will have to contact manufacturers and retailers directly to inquire about liquidations, overstock, off season or discounted merchandise. We must acquire exclusive wholesale suppliers to keep our business running effectively. We intend to offer our customers secure online payment methods such as credit cards or Paypal.

 

Our intended business objective for Cosmo Ventures is:

 

-To make Cosmo an icon brand
-To develop an effective, well placed e-commerce site for the sale of overstocked wholesale items from India
-To offer a wide range of merchandise at reasonable prices
-To launch a marketing campaign in a controllable and measurable market that will drive customers towards the website
-To create an infrastructure for the fulfillment of web based sales

 

Initially, our planned products will be our desktop website. We hope to provide customers with a marketplace to purchase our overstocked products from their desktop as well as mobile devices via mobile websites and our mobile app. Future customers will be able to view our catalogue of products from the convenience of their home desktop or on the road on their mobile devices. 

 

We intend to set up our web and mobile platforms to allow subscribing consumers to instantaneously receive the following:

 

· mobile coupons and special offers;

· announcements of special events;

· new product information and updates;

 

It is our hope that our multiple platform will allow customers the ability to log into our website and access our products at their convenience.

Plan of Operations

 

Upon the completion of this Offering, and assuming we are able to successfully raise funding from the sale of our securities, we will begin Phase 2 of our business plan. In order to initiate Phase 2 of our operations, we will have to raise enough money to hire at least one website and mobile application developer.

 

While our mobile application is being developed, we will begin the initial preparations for the launch of our website. Assuming we are able to raise the maximum amount of funds from this offering, the full extent of Phase 2 of our business plan and development will include:

 

1. Raising capital – We will begin raising funding through the sale of our securities as set forth within this Registration Statement. This will start as soon as we receive a Notice of Effectiveness from the SEC. We believe the expenses involved with becoming a public company will be approximately $10,000.

 

2. Platform development – We plan to hire a website developer to begin the construction of our website. The development of our website will entail the bulk of Phase 2. At this time we will also allocate $1,000 to purchase servers and hosting for our planned website and mobile application.

 

3. Hire additional staff – When our mobile application is near its completion, we will begin hiring additional staff to prepare for our launch. We plan to hire a full-time sales representative to begin selling our services to businesses within our local area. We plan to offer our sales representatives $35,000 per year plus a commission-based bonus plan. We will allocate up to $7,000 on marketing materials. We will use the marketing ideas of our President, Sonu Ram, as set forth in our “Marketing Strategy” section. However, we will look to our new employees to come up with new and innovative ways to promote our Company.

 

4. Beta testing – Once our website and mobile application is fully developed, and our sales and marketing team are in place, we will begin beta testing our website and mobile application. This will complete Phase 2 of our development, and lead to the third phase in our operations.

 

Phase 3 of our business plan and development will be defined by the launch and marketing of our website and mobile application to the general public. Phase 3 shall be characterized by the following:

 

1. Acquisition of clients – When we are ready to offer our services to the public, we intend to launch a marketing campaign ourselves in order to promote our website to potential manufacturers. We will also offer six months of free, unlimited postings to the first 100 businesses that sign up for our services.

 

2. Acquisition of users – When we are ready to offer our services to the public, we will also launch a marketing campaign to promote our services to potential users, so that we may rapidly grow our user base so that we may have enough users for potential clients to deem our services valuable.

 

In order to complete Phase 3 of our business plan, we will rely heavily on the management skills of our President. He will have to work closely with our sales and marketing team to make sure that there is constant communication between each. The sales of our services will be directly related to the work that our marketing team is providing. In the months that follow our launch, the work of our website developers will be critical as well. We hope to be in a phase of rapid growth, and our developers will be working hard to provide constant updates to our site, and fix any bugs that may occur. Our President will have to work hard to keep all components of our business on track.

 

21

Marketing Strategy

 

We have begun initial market research and anticipate conducting in depth market research to develop a strategy which in our opinion could launch our Company and provide us with rapid growth if executed properly.

 

We plan to focus on three key factors when marketing our services to local businesses:

 

Timing – With the ever-expanding market of mobile (and smartphone) users now is the time to make the most out of mobile website and application. We believe the competition is small at this point, and businesses can create a presence before it gets cluttered.

 

Integration – Mobile phone users are doing more and more on their phones, especially with the rise in smartphone sales. If a business is at all serious about a comprehensive and integrated marketing strategy for their company, mobile has to be a part of it.

 

Consumers – According to Google, Inc.'s independent research, 74% of smartphone users have made a purchase as a result of using a smartphone. Businesses can put their products and services in front of their target market of consumers quickly and easily. We intend to use mobile marketing as a strategy for impulse consumer purchases.

 

 

Growth Strategy

 

Initially, our target customers will be those within North America who do not already purchase products online. As we grow our client and end-user base, we hope to gain the attention of shoppers who already purchase products online, and switch them over to our products and services. However, until such time as we have begun substantive operations we will not be able to adequately assess what portions of our strategy for growth will be most appropriate. However, we envision our success being attributable to our ability to:

 

-sustain lower operating costs per customer compared to other providers by having all website development and marketing done by in-house staff. As we grow, it is our belief that an increasing number of businesses will sign up for our services via our website, which will decrease our clients acquisition costs; and,

 

-deploy our capital more effectively by building our products and services base to cover a wide range of styles to suit a wide range of potential subscribing consumers. We will need to effectively listen and adjust to the needs and wants of customers.

 

Competition

 

The market for selling over stock items online is a relatively new, yet growing industry. We expect to compete with these other service providers principally on the bases of the quality of services we intend to offer customers and in our Company's ability to acquire and retain personnel to market and sell our proposed services. Our Company will also compete on the bases of service price. Our principal competitors include BIDZ.com, Overstock.com, Amazon and Bluefly, all of which offer services similar to our proposed services. Numerous other second tier resellers are entering into the marketplace, consisting of independent marketing consultants who are reselling and not operating their own web and mobile platform.

 

We anticipate that most, if not all, of our competitors will initially have greater name and brand recognition and access to greater amounts of capital and established relationships with a larger base of current and potential customers. Because of their size and bargaining power, our competitors may be able to purchase equipment, supplies and services at lower prices than us in the initial stages of our development. As a result, our operations may be significantly and negatively impacted by our larger, more established competitors. Once we commence Phase 2 of our operations, if we are not able to generate enough revenue by attracting new and existing businesses and/or by enticing users to opt into our services, we may be forced to cease operations.

 

Our ability to compete successfully will depend, in part, on the quality of our services, size of our database of opt-in end-users, customer service, as well as our marketing efforts and our ability to anticipate and respond to various competitive factors affecting the industry. These factors include the introduction of new services and technologies, changes in consumer preferences, demographic trends, economic conditions, and pricing strategies of competitors. As a result of competition, we may be required to:

 

· increase overall spending to ensure we are offering the best quality products and services to our customers;

· continually assess and evaluate our service plans and other offers to ensure that we are offering the most compelling and affordable products and services; and,

· increase our advertising, promotional spending, commissions and other subscriber acquisition costs.

 

The industry has minimal and low cost barriers to entry and therefore it is a very competitive market. We will face many competitors in the e-commerce retail business, including eBay, Amazon, Buy.com, Shop.com, and other similar websites.

 

Easy entry does not necessarily mean that a new entrant can build a web presence, traffic, and customer base. The Cosmo Ventures business model consists of selling the overstock of other wholesale retailers from India in North America. Merchandise we intend to offer on our site will be competitively priced to benefit our potential customers. We believe an online business model is better positioned to succeed if it employs: brand/traffic, heaviest discounter reputation, low cost operations, and customer satisfaction.

 

22

Government Regulation

 

Many factors can influence a consumer’s decision whether to buy online or in-store. One of the most prominent advantages of purchasing goods on the internet was the lack of sales taxes. However, to combat soaring deficits, states such as North Carolina and Rhode Island are now requiring sales tax to be paid on goods sold on the internet. This makes internet shopping much less attractive to those buyers trying to find bargains from internet sites such as ours.

 

The online retailing industry faces headwinds due to the local states tax issues whose resolution is not predictable. Other factors which play a role in willingness to purchase online are secure credit card payments and broadband internet access. As buying online becomes more secure with the likes of PayPal and the rates of broadband internet penetration rise, consumers should be more likely to purchase from the web.

 

A variety of federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of consumer data. The existing privacy-related laws and regulations are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. In addition, various federal and state legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws regarding privacy matters. For example, recently there have been Congressional hearings and increased attention to the capture and use of location-based information relating to users of smartphones and other mobile devices. We will post privacy policies and practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of subscriber data on our website and future applications. Several Internet companies have incurred penalties for failing to abide by the representations made in their privacy policies and practices. In addition, several states have adopted legislation that requires businesses to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to protect sensitive personal information and to provide notice to consumers in the event of a security breach. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, Federal Trade Commission requirements or orders or other federal or state privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations or industry self-regulatory principles could result in claims, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, a failure or perceived failure to comply with industry standards or with our own privacy policies and practices could result in a loss of subscribers or merchants and adversely affect our business. Federal and state governmental authorities continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party web "cookies" for behavioral advertising. The regulation of these cookies and other current online advertising practices could adversely affect our business.

 

 

Employees and Consultants

 

As of the date of this filing, the Company has no full time employees other than our sole officer and director, Mr. Ram. We currently rely on Mr. Ram, to manage all aspects of our business. Mr. Ram has committed to devote up to 40 hours per week to our Company. We plan to use third-party developers to assist in the production of our proposed website platform. We intend to add staff as the Company grows. Any such additions will be made at the judgment of management to meet the Company's then current needs.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which our director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 2 of our audited financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Director Independence

 

Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, Sonu Ram, who does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

 

Security Holders Recommendations to Board of Directors

 

We welcome comments and questions from our shareholders. Shareholders can direct communications to our Chief Executive Officer, Sonu Ram, at our executive offices. However, while we appreciate all comments from shareholders, we may not be able to individually respond to all communications. We attempt to address shareholder questions and concerns in our press releases and documents filed with the SEC so that all shareholders have access to information about us at the same time. Mr. Ram collects and evaluates all shareholder communications. All communications addressed to our director and executive officer will be reviewed by Mr. Ram unless the communication is clearly frivolous.

 

Committees

 

We do not currently have an audit, compensation or nominating committee.

EXPERTS

 

David A. Aronson, CPA, P.A., our independent registered public accountant, has audited our financial statements included in this prospectus and Registration Statement to the extent and for the periods set forth in their audit report. David A. Aronson, CPA, P.A. has presented its report with respect to our audited financial statements.

 

COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law and that none of our directors will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

· for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders;

· for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

· under Nevada General Corporation Law for the unlawful payment of dividends; or

· for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

 

These provisions require us to indemnify our directors and officers unless restricted by Nevada law and eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our ability or that of our stockholders to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of his or his fiduciary duty.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Stockholders and Board of Directors  
Cosmo Ventures, Inc.  
   
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Cosmo Ventures, Inc., (A Development Stage Company) as of March 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations, stockholder's deficit and cash flows for the year then ended, and the period from inception (February 3, 2013) to March 31, 2013.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  
 
 
 
 
   
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cosmo Ventures, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of March 31, 2013, and results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, and for the period from inception (February 3, 2013) to March 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  
 
 
 
 
   
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered a loss from operations and is in the development stage. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are also discussed in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Cosmo Ventures, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements  
March 31, 2013  
                   
                   
Note 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES      
                   
Organization                
Cosmo Ventures, Inc. ("Cosmo" or the "Company") was incorporated on February 3, 2013, under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Company is in the development stage as defined under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, “Development Stage Entities”.  The Company intends to purchase overstocked inventory items from manufacturers and retailers and offer them to the public at discounted prices.  
 
 
 
 
 
                   
Revenue Recognition              
In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  
 
 
 
                   
Revenue will be recognized at the time the product is delivered or services are performed.  Provision for sales returns will be estimated based on the Company's historical return experience.  Revenue will be presented net of returns.  
 
 
                   
Use of Estimates                
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  
 
 
 
                   
Segment Information              
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, "Segment Reporting".  The Company currently operates in a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.  
 
 
                   
Net Loss Per Common Share            
Basic net (loss) income per common share is calculated using the weighted average common shares outstanding during each reporting period.  Diluted net (loss) income per common share adjusts the weighted average common shares for the potential dilution that could occur if common stock equivalents (convertible debt and preferred stock, warrants, stock options and restricted stock shares and units) were exercised or converted into common stock.  There were no common stock equivalents at March 31, 2013.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)    
                   
Income Taxes                
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences related to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  A valuation allowance is recognized when, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                   
ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires a company to first determine whether it is more likely than not (which is defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information.  A tax position that meets this more likely than not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
                   
Stock-Based Compensation            
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation.  ASC 718 requires all share-based compensation payments to be recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value using an option pricing model.  ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates.  
 
 
 
 
 
                   
Equity instruments granted to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505, Equity.  The final measurement date for the fair value of equity instruments with performance criteria is the date that each performance commitment for such equity instrument is satisfied or there is a significant disincentive for non-performance.  
 
 
 
                   
Cash and Cash Equivalents            
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2013

Note 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)    
                   
Fair Value of Financial Instruments            
Pursuant to ASC No. 820. "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures," the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.  
 
 
 
 
 
                   
Recent Pronouncements              
There are no recent accounting pronouncements that apply to the Company.                  
                   
Note 2.  STOCKHOLDER'S DEFICIT          
                   
In February 2013, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share.  
 
                   
Note 3.  INCOME TAXES              
                   
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes.  The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:  
 
 
                   
      Income tax provision at the federal        
        statutory rate                                        15 %    
      Effect of operating losses             (15) %    
             0 %    
                   
As of March 31, 2013, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $,1800.  This loss will be available to offset future taxable income.  If not used, this carryforward will expire in 2033. The deferred tax asset relating to the operating loss carryforward has been fully reserved at March 31, 2013.  
 
 
 
                   
Note 4.  BASIS OF REPORTING            
                   
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Note 4.  BASIS OF REPORTING (continued)          
                   
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  
 
 
                   
The Company has experienced a loss from operations during its development stage as a result of its investment necessary to achieve its operating plan, which is long-range in nature.  For the period from February 3, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1,800.  In addition, the Company has no significant assets or revenue generating operations.  
 
 
 
 
                   
The Company currently does not have sufficient cash to sustain itself for the next 12 months, and will require additional funding in order to execute its plan of operations and to continue as a going concern.  To meet its cash needs, management expects to raise capital through a private placement offering.  In the event that this funding does not materialize, certain directors have agreed, orally, to loan sufficient funds to maintain the Company's operations for the next 12 months.  
 
 
 
 
 
                   
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our sole officer and Director is indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.

 

Under the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation that is not the case with our articles of incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are:

 

  (1) a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;

 

  (2) a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);

 

  (3) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and

 

  (4) willful misconduct.

 

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:

 

  (1) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;

 

  (2) the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;

 

  (3) such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or

 

  (4) such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.

 

Our bylaws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. The Company’s obligations of indemnification, if any, shall be conditioned on the Company receiving prompt notice of the claim and the opportunity to settle and defend the claim.  The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Undertakings:

 

Information pertaining to our common stock is contained in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.  

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: 

 

   

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  i.

To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

  ii.

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

 

  iii.

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

  2.

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  3.

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

 

39

 
 

 

 
  4.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

  i.

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

  ii.

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

  iii.

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

  iv.

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

  5.

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
