invention startup and licensing

Hello,
I`m still in the process of trying to get my business off the ground and am getting info overload from every side. Has anyone had any experience with a startup company called Invention Home? They claim to help get your product licensed with a manufaturer within a year in exchange for royalties on your sales. Much appreciate all of your feedback!

this is so funny that you ask about Invention Home!...i am working on a licensing deal with a company i was matched up with through them.....i have had a great experience so far....but a little about me...i started my own business www.CinchEaze.com, developed the invention and brought it to market, and then realized that i wanted to go bigger, and i lacked the funds....and frankly, i can do, but seriously dislike the "operations side" of running a business....so my thought process was along the lines of "contract out" what i don`t like to do, and focus on what i love doing, sales, marketing and pr......and for me, licensing made sense financially.....yes, you can go find companies yourself, like i did, i have two companies i found on my own, and now i am trying to figure out which company to go with for a licensing deal.....i liked using Invention Home because i was not tied into a contract.....and i would never go with a company who ties you into a contract that you can not approach companies on your own...and just to let you know, i am a very skeptical person, and was hesitant about using any invention company, so i did my homework on BBB, asked for references, and asked some experts in the community....and you should do this when looking for an invention company.....
You can find a manufacturer yourself. A lawyer is not going to do that for you. There are many companies that would love to make your product (whatever it is), it`s how THEY make money.
If you NEED a patent, legalzoom is a great option.
Don`t go throwing money at lawyers at the drop of a dime. There are a lot of resources on this site. Take your time and be thorough.
