Investors Needed for Chicago Entertainment Entity, Welcome

We love Chicago. Would like to read your Business Plan

Thanks, LUCKIEST at " pdeig@juno.com "

To answer Dublincpa, this was one of the first things we looked into, as it is just good business as well as legally necessary to document where your funds are coming from. When starting a venture such as this, the first line of fire is to start with fundraisers and donations. Securing investors is much different in regards to registration, and it's a good thing to bring up, so I would like to for anyone who's reading. After the situation with Madoff, many securities laws are changing to protect investors. Most states do require the investor actually qualify for investor status, meaning they earn over $200K per year. There are also levels of investors regarding what they are federally allowed to invest in increments based on their annual salary or if a company their annual revenue. So anyone looking for investors is free to pitch their business plans, but must be very careful when signing them on, as they must be able to offer a feasible amount for their stature and be registered on the company's behalf. Something that might be helpful to the beginning entrepreneur would be a site such as this, combined with legal council, and the specific state laws: http://www.tannedfeet.com/registering_securities.htm
