Not wishing to be a misery but I'd suggest learning to walk before entering the London Marathon; it's a bit of a leap from pin badges to sponsored credit cards and bank loans. I think an initial run of badges, stickers, polo shirts, crew bag tags etc etc would enable you to judge the exact size of the market out there for Pprune "goods" before venturing into the world of finance (always ends in tears).
Happy to help out with distribution or more (West Country, UK).
TACAN, I'd be interested to know how close this to getting off the ground!
