If you had an investor with $100,000 -- what will...

fuck a partnership. i would pay them interest if anything.

**xclusive** · 11-18-2004, 03:27 AM

I am favorable of the 50/50 but with points set in the contract so that after a certain amount of money has been earned and the person has gotten his investment plus a large percentage back the company would be totally yours...

Fantasyman always told me 'Money gets 70%'.... but then he'd settle with 50% partnerships....

Unfortunately, a 100K unsecured loan is quite hard to find nowadays. Equity or partnership is the more likely scenario.

If they are a serious investor at 100k then a 12% return as well as options would be enough to clench the investment.

What will your partnership arrangement be?

50/50

or sliding scale depending on revenues?

Please explain why.

I'm partial to the sliding scale myself.

50/50 is a cool deal.

99 to 1

Idea guys are a dime a dozen. Guys with capital are hard to find. And people are all talk. Let the guy prove and validate his idea then you guys can renegotiate.

Why do you think Venture capital firms ask for a SHITLOAD buying in?

I'd take the Hundred K and

go to

Really... franchise fee, all equipment, leasing a location, other startup costs, for 89k? No way.

Yeah and you would be the guy making the subs, very few people who buy those franchises find enough margins in them to be able to do other things.

But after 2000, they don't just spread cash around. Your proposal better be good. I did the whole REVERSE MERGER stuff in the late 90s and its coming back.

WORD. Most franchises are ripoffs and are worth doing only if you plan on taking out a REGIONAL franchise and pimping out the subfranchises.

Ye well I hear now VCs don't throw money at ANY business plan they see these days.

**Lykos** · 11-18-2004, 11:59 PM

It all depends but 50/50 sounds great especially couse it is way too hard to find ppl with money and ready to invest
