Comment: There is zero evidence of notability. Please read and understand WP:NCORP which tells you what is needed to demonstrate notability.And this is still inherently promotional, because this is the business telling the world about itself. We are not interested in that, we want to know what independent and reliable secondary sources have said about the business and what makes it noteworthy.
