It is a true success story for two local entrepreneurs. Palm Beach residents Mosie Miller and Adam Boalt have pooled their talents and resources to launch an Internet start-up company, RushMyPassport.com (http://www.rushmypassport.com) has also opened offices in Miami, Washington D.C., San Francisco and Philadelphia. As traffic to the site continues to increase, driven by the demand for expedited passport services, Miller and Boalt plan to open additional offices in other cities where passport agencies are found.
The success of RushMyPassport.com began very simply when Boalt was helping a friend get a passport. In doing so, Boalt discovered what a complicated process it was and that the U.S.
Department of State was experiencing a severe backlog due to unprecedented increases in demand.
Boalt recognized an opportunity in not only assisting customers in securing a passport, but also offering to expedite the service. Department of State wait times were getting as long as
three months, and the demand for faster service was significant.
In putting together the business plan for this endeavor, Boalt estimated his sales to be approximately $30,000 a month in order to ensure full service of the site, business practices and
its employees. Due to the overwhelming success, the bank called Boalt to inform him that he had exceeded the $30,000 merchant account line of credit his first day in business at which
Miller stepped in to help. Miller was instrumental in securing a $3 million line of credit with the bank to guarantee that the company could continue to deliver its services.
Miller saw Boalt's vision for the RushMyPassport.com site (http://www.rushmypassport.com) is offering a much needed service.
