Unfortunately I don't think that I have any. The current owner and myself had a falling out the other day because he was unhappy that I wanted to go into business myself. Needless to say, I have no job, a little saved money and a great idea.

I don't mind answering the question. Most of my family anf friends don't have that kind of money. My brother was interested, but I think that he's just not the risk taker that I am. He doesn't have the money but he acted like he could get it. He just backed out becuase he didn't want to take the risk. I think my grandfather has the money but I wouldn't know how to approach him about it.

I'm close with all the people that I've asked and I'm sure that it's just because they don't have the money.
Thank you for your input, this is all helping out so much.

We are currentyly offering the following to the potential investor(s):

We, as the working owner/operators, are completely willing to forfeit all profits until the investments are returned in full, which is expected to take approximately two years, if even that long. In addition to the rapid return, we are offering up 30% ownership of our business for the life of the restaurant, unless the investor(s) decide to sell their shares back to us. Therefore, after the investors have their intestments returned to them in full, we, the working owner/operators, will begin collecting our 70% yearly net profit while the investors collect their 30% yearly net profit. We are more concerned with having a successful business to leave to our children than we are concerned with becoming rich. We understand that with time and patience, all will be accomplished. We also understand that not all investors are interested in rapid returns due to income tax laws or perhaps personal preference. In that case, we are more than willing to work out a return agreement in that reguard. The final decision in either case will be the result of a negotiation between the investors and the owner/operators. In any sense, this is a great opportunity for any investor as we are very flexible and willing to do what is neccessary to better our future.

As for the owners I worked for, they have their hands full with another store they are planning on opening in another city.

No, unfortunately I don't have any of that.

If there is anyone that might be interested in taking a look at my business plan, I'm willing to show it. Any kind of advice or input will be great. I'm confident that I have a great plan, I just need it put with the right people.

All of that sounds good. Would you like for me to email my business plan to you?
