Patenting is not an issue as you cant exactly patent this,

and its really hard to steal unless you get inside my head.

    Hard to say without knowing more about the invention.

    - If this is a product requiring manufacturing, talk to companies that might do so. Get a non-disclosure agreement first. But your description does not sound like this.

    - If this is a method of doing something, you basically have to patent it.

    I don't know what PPM or Reg D are. Is that British?
