I sense the "frustration " in your second message, so I have to ask:
What were you expecting from your first post on this topic?

Thank you, this is excactly the response I was wanting, people reading this!
I was saving the information for once an interest was shown.
To the point:
Yes business plan is complete, and heve been working the bank, my attorney, real estate brokers, accountants, etc. for the past year.  It keeps coming back to have money. 
My market is Indianapolis, IN, on the southside, where the market is ripe for the type of venture I am looking to start.  To protect my idea I`ll just say it is a fine dinning/winebar concept. 
CraigL:  I purposely was vauge, I am new to this site and very skeptical of posting to much info for the world to see.  In my experience there is not too many folks interested in restaurants, so I was simply dangling the carrot looking for a bite.

When you say  you are offering 
about 20% ROI on initial investment, ownership, and potential expantion leading to further ROI.
Do you mean 20% per year - which means the initial investment would nearly triple in value at the end of year 6
If you are proposing an equity deal - what do you mean when you say
 with payments beginning in year 2.?

Sorry, that is 20% on the amount invested. 
If you are proposing an equity deal - what do you mean when you say with payments beginning in year 2.?
I would not begin repayement until the start of year two, this is to reduce expenses in year one.  Then all investments will be paid off in five years.

It sounds like you are seeking a loan of $500K with a 20% interest to be repaid over a 5 year period - payments to start in year 2.
If so - then your annual payments would be $159,000.
You should be able to get a loan for less than 20% interest.
If you are looking for an equity investor, you`ll probably have to show them a better than 20% per year return.
I`m not wanting to be harsh - but you do need to be clear about what kind of capital you are seeking and what kind of deal you are willing to offer.

The other thing that`s missing here is some indication of what your experience is in the restaurant business (unless I overlooked it). If you`ve run successful restaurants, that`s one thing. If you like to eat out and think you have a great idea, that`s quite another thing.

Look into angel investors would be my advise. The best that I have found is at www.breadstreet.com . They have investors that are ready to place their money as quickly as possible with the right investment opportunity.

You know what, when it comes to restaurant business, I suggest that you consider using teak wood benches just as those I bought from http://www.javateakoutdoorfurniture.com ... s/benches/ they are not only best reliable products but also a good stuff to use for restaurant business. Besides, a good investment for this kind of business is to use quality yet cheap materials just like that.
