- GBX International Group Inc. (GBXI) operates as a marketing and customer acquisition company focused on assisting local merchants, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and charities; it provides a unique marketing and advertising system that includes online tools, marketing materials such as table tents, napkins, and menus, expertise to increase customer bases and develop repeat customers, as well as discounted credit and debit card processing services through third-party processors, generating income from ongoing transactions. Headquartered in the United States with six employees, the company targets communication services and advertising agency sectors, serving domestic markets primarily. In recent years, GBXI has undergone a significant business model shift to emphasize merchant profitability and customer acquisition support; it completed a corporate review and financial restructuring, writing off over $3 million in notes payable and impaired assets to strengthen its balance sheet; the company pursued aggressive growth through the 2023 acquisition of American States University (ASU), integrating it with partners for digital business hubs, economic development programs, scholarships, and spinouts involving entities like Cannabis Science and Thermic Science (ENDO); earlier ventures included film financing, production, marketing, distribution, and economic development with cancer drug research such as CSi-Harvard, alongside plans for NASDAQ uplisting and media integrations.
