And none of the major search engines link to this site either?

Maybe this is why - Taken from their home page

In 2006, Alterigo Corporate Finance Partners, LLC restructured its team from three partners to fifteen. Through this restructure came an element of greater resources that allows Alterigo to better serve its current client base and new business relationships in more effective and proficient ways.

Also, I looked at the Contact Us page (Now you have me curious) and their phone and fax number are the same. I tried to call the number and it was a fax tone. Come on, a corporation with their main line answering as a fax tone - Hmmmm - Phishing???????

It gets even better. I looked up the area code for 203 that's on their "contact us" page:

http://www.alterigopartners.com/contactus.php

And the 203 area code is for Connecticut.


http://www.lincmad.com/areacodemap.html
or
http://www.nanpa.com/area_code_maps/ac_map_static.html


The 973 area code on the whois record is for NJ though.

I'm wondering too about whether this is just a phishing site.

Free Calculator - fm Alterigo Partners (http://www.alterigopartners.com/promotion/pop_up.html)

this is supposed to be for businesses

You own a company that is very successful. You are looking for liquidity to enhance your personal and family situations but, unfortunately, your growing business has capital requirements that necessitate the reinvestment of a substantial portion of your company's earnings thus denying you the resources required to properly address these special needs.

Alterigo has various solutions to this dilemma that can be customized for each unique situation. These solutions will address both your personal needs as well as the financial health of the firm. Alterigo will provide assistance in mapping a proper course to a liquidity event that will meet your needs whether it is an Initial Public Offering (IPO), re-capitalization, merger, acquisition, raising additional capital, etc.
