This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 2”) amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D, filed December 3, 2001, as amended (the “Schedule 13D”) of Marlin Equities, LLC, Martin E. Franklin, and Ian G.H. Ashken. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Information contained in this statement is as of the date hereof, unless otherwise expressly provided herein. Unless set forth below, all previous items are unchanged.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 2 relates to the common stock, par value $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) of Guideline, Inc. (f/k/a Find SVP, Inc.), a New York corporation (the “Company”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 625 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10011.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5 (a) and (b) of the Schedule 13D are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

(a) Marlin beneficially owns 1,365,292 shares of Common Stock (including 211,111 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain warrants held by Marlin) (the “Marlin Shares”) or approximately 6.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Messrs. Franklin and Ashken, as the sole members and managers of Marlin, may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock beneficially owned by Marlin.

Mr. Franklin beneficially owns 1,370,292 shares of Common Stock (including 1,365,292 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Marlin and options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock) (the “Franklin Shares”) or approximately 6.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Mr. Ashken beneficially owns 1,510,292 shares of Common Stock (including 1,365,292 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Marlin and options to purchase 70,000 shares of Common Stock) (the “Ashken Shares”) or approximately 7.0% of the outstanding Common Stock.

The percentage of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Marlin is based upon 21,469,578 shares outstanding (the “Base Sum”), which consists of the sum of (i) 20,925,134 shares outstanding as at November 9, 2006 as reported on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, (ii) 333,333 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding entitled to voting power equivalent to an aggregate of 333,333 shares of Common Stock, and (iii) 211,111 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain warrants to purchase Common Stock held by Marlin. The percentage of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by


Mr. Franklin is based upon 21,474,578 shares outstanding, which consists of the sum of (i) the Base Sum and (ii) 5,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of his options to purchase Common Stock. The percentage of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Mr. Ashken is based upon 21,539,578 shares outstanding, which consists of the sum of (i) the Base Sum and (ii) 70,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of his options to purchase Common Stock.

(b) Marlin has the sole power to direct the vote and to direct the disposition of the interest in the Marlin Shares. Messrs. Franklin and Ashken, as the sole members and managers of Marlin, may be deemed to share the power to direct the vote of, or disposition of, the Marlin Shares. Messrs. Franklin and Ashken disclaim beneficial ownership over any of the Marlin Shares.

Other than the Marlin Shares, Mr. Franklin has the sole power to direct the vote and to direct the disposition of the interest in the Franklin Shares and Mr. Ashken and Marlin disclaim beneficial ownership over such portion of the Franklin Shares.

Other than the Marlin Shares, Mr. Ashken has the sole power to direct the vote and to direct the disposition of the interest in the Ashken Shares and Mr. Franklin and Marlin disclaim beneficial ownership over such portion of the Ashken Shares.

(c) Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following paragraph to the end of such item:

Except as described in this Amendment No. 2, there have been no transactions in the shares of Common Stock that were effected during the past sixty days by the Reporting Person

On December 18, 2006, Mr. Franklin disposed of 650,000 shares of Common Stock by gifting such shares of Common Stock to a non-for-profit charitable foundation.

(d) No person, other than the Reporting Person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock reported by this statement.
