Kotoros
Kotoros Rent-A-Car Company was founded by a now defunct Nouvel Ecossian Car Company, Kotoros Motors, in the late 1960's as a subtle way to promote and almost showcase their products to the wider public. Immediately popular amongst visiting tourists and those in need of a temporary substitute for their very own car, Kotoros Rent-A-Car continued to make profits and ultimately survived the self-destruction of its parent company in 1986, when Kotoros Motors suffered a major boardroom bust-up and stocks plunged, leaving all those involved bankrupt. The Rent-A-Car aspect of the company, which was seen as one of the few workable and continuable areas in the company. Car magnet Claude Tandorian, who had for years been attempting to grind the company down, in the end was its saviour, snapping up Kotoros Rent-A-Car and its stock for his own company Tandorian Industries.
Tandorian was CEO of Kotoros for five years, before his untimely death aged 71 from lung cancer. His successor was his one of his fellow investors, Duncan Forsyth, who thus succeeded Tandorian as CEO in 1991. Forsyth was famous as the owner of Attico's Drinkeries and also for his prestigious alcohol-drinking abilities. In 2003 Tandorian Industries suffered a slight economic collapse, and Kotoros Rent-A-Car was thus sold for NS$135,000,000 to a conglomerate of many businesses, lead by Duncan Forsyth under his own company, Forsyth Inc, and including such other investors as the Nouvel Ecosse Investment Department and the Alhambra Group. Since then, however, Forsyth has gradually increased his stock in the company, until now where he owns 95.6% of the company. He did this so to be able to sell stock to future investors internationally, particularly car companies. He is looking to sell 45% of the company to foreign investors, in blocks of 9%. He is open to offers of products as well as monetary, and will appropriate items such as top-quality cars at a lower price than expected.
