I've been running my business for around 6 years now, going from freelance to DBA to actually incorporating a couple years ago.
Please have a look at http://www.ribosi.com
The first generation is largely standard hardware running proprietary software. I plan for the second generation to be completely proprietary and am rolling out a home version as well - hopefully later this year, but no target date has been set yet. Obviously, nobody outside of the company will ever see the back end system behind this - and I'm so scared of Microsoft that I'm not even offering demos of the client systems until the release date (except some fake screen shots, perhaps).
Because of the HUGE changes being made to the business, such as rolling out a slew of new services and turning from a 3 person software development/Linux system/computer repair shop into something that justifies a corporation, I'm currently seeking investors. I haven't had time to really write a complete business plan as I've been too busy working on the final product and seeking funding, but I can give you the substantial portion I do have, in addition to a much more complete description, in exchange for an NDA.
I plan to open a new store in Harrisonburg, VA in January and 7 more throughout Virginia in March. I've also been setting up to allow retail franchises with a $75,000 franchise fee.
Any helpful advice is appreciated - and don't say SCORE, I don't have time for them.
Any interested parties may email me at ribosiinc@gmail.com - willing to negotiate with 49% of the company for the right price.
