Subsidiary Website-Funding.com Accomplishes Beta Phase Successfully; Company Ready to Take Financing Site to Next Level SAN BRUNO, Calif., Aug 7, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- San Francisco Bay Area Internet technology company M&A West Inc. (OTCBB: MAWI) announces the success of its recently launched Website-Funding.com (www.website-funding.com). Open for business in April of this year, Website-Funding.com is an online resource for companies seeking capital to develop or grow their Internet presence by offering flexible financing options for clients of Web developers worldwide, from large corporations to start-ups. "M&A West is filling the void created by lenders that are hesitant to provide financing for Internet development, software or Web enhancements," said Scott Kelly, president and CEO of M&A West. "Instead of tying up a large amount of capital, companies have started borrowing money for Web development, similar to leasing office equipment or financing telecommunications systems. Through Website-Funding, they are making affordable monthly payments and still have cash in the bank." Now complete with its "beta" phase, Website-Funding.com is ready to take its financial offering to the next level by offering debt financing for entrepreneurs. The newly re-designed site is currently expanding its relationships with additional finance companies of all sizes. About M&A West Inc. M&A West Inc. has four primary business objectives.
