What were you expecting from your first post on this topic?
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.

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.
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.
