If you’ve ever watched HBO’s “Silicon Valley”, then you’ll immediately get what Axcess Global is all about. If you’ve invented something, then Axcess Global is your Erlich: mentor, helper, representative, and source for everything you’ll need to do in order to scale up and get your product to market.
The Company
Axcess Global is headquartered in South Jordan, Utah. The problem with having such a generic business name is that it’s easily confused with other companies who went down that same road as yours in choosing a name with the word “global”. It’s as if you named your company “Global Corp” or something equally bland and over-reaching.
There are other Axcess Globals, and even a Global Axcess but it appears they are unrelated.
Curiously, there’s also a company called Axcess Financial, also based in South Jordan, Utah. The address is the same but when you try and go to the axcessglobalfinance.com website it’s defunct. Pieces of this puzzle aren’t adding up.
Axcess Global: The Product
Got a clothing line, just out of fashion school? Axcess Global can place your product with the right major retailers. Don’t know where to buy fabric? They’ll source your materials for you too. Need help in finding the best manufacturing setup for your clothing? They’ve got those connections, too. Finally, to get it all up and running and to keep things humming along you’ll need capital infusions…they do that too.
Here are the details:
- Retailing. Get introduced to influential buyers.
- Sourcing. Get access to material and manufacturing resources
- Manufacturing. Find manufacturers around the globe to make your product for your.
- Financing. Business loans at (supposedly) competitive rates.
The Opportunity
There does not seem to be any business opportunity associated with Axcess Global.
The Verdict
My sensors went up when I couldn’t find much mention of Axcess Global online. Then, with discovery of the defunct finance website I really felt like I was missing something, something was fishy. What’s this company all about? That made me question all the other little strange things about this company that I normally would not have cared about. Now that my sensors were up they seemed to matter.
These were things like:
- The crazy old website design with incorrectly sized stock images and nav menus that didn’t make sense (i.e. “Locations” just goes to the “Contact” page).
- No “badges” on the site: they seem to exist in their own bubble. No BBB, no testimonials, no awards, no partnerships with charitable organizations, etc.
- No social media pages. We need social proof!
- They mention their partners all over the website yet not one other company name is ever specified. What are they hiding?
- When you carefully read the copious amounts of content on their site you realize it’s just a lot of bland business hype and that nothing is really being said about the company or the products.
- Internal links that go nowhere. Images that are no longer there.
- They promise their clients access to world-class resources like manufacturing and sourcing but do not make one mention whatsoever about these resources, nor do they talk about how/why they chose the partners they work with or why they’re great.
It all just seems like a front for something…what, I’m not sure. Or it could be someone’s idea of a joke: how many suckers can we get? Just as plausible is that it’s some old class project from a web design or business course from 10 years ago, still floating around in cyberspace wasting the time of anyone who happens to stumble upon it.
