    If you are a serious investor I will provide more information upon special request.

    Status:
    - Idea fully developed
    - Continuing progress on official Business Plan

    Time Frame:
    - Project start ASAP
    - Projected Launch, 6 months to 2 years (depends on "factors")

    Projected Earnings:
    1 year - None, possible finical loss.
    5 years - Small return (capital is constantly recycled)

    - Please note there are many risks in the industry. There are high returns, and the customers will be abundant. The risk simply falls within the internal operation of the company, and the balance of societal wants.

    That's a pretty shaky idea with long projected return to profitability and less certainty on success it sounds like. Might want to try to figure a way to bring revenue sooner than waiting 5 years for a small return. Just food for thought.

    Investors are going to want to see a 6-18 month maybe 24 month max return on their money for this small amount. You did not mention the industry which is a deal killer for anyone that reads this. You can not be secretive in any way. You need to lay it all out there for everyone to see if you expect any real response. When I'm planning a new business or product line if I don't have a 12 month break even on a project that requires under $100k to start then I do not move forward with the project. There are a lot better investments out there these days then something that might take five years to recapitalize.

    Well... The industry is very complicated and every day, there are changes.

    Medical marijuana is a very difficult field to prospect in, because there are so many different factors and changes in the law. However, this is a high risk, HIGH reward situation. The profits are near impossible to speculate on, and obsticles will insure. I posted a promise. Every time a barricade does not get in the way, the profits increase exponentially.

    The reason I didnt want to fully disclose is because this is a very sensitive industry and I didnt want people to get the wrong idea. Investors need to know, others dont.


    And thank you Roger for contributing to the post.

    Here in lies the problem. This is not a high risk industry. This is actually a maturing industry which means there are companies you can benchmark in order to develop a better business plan. It sounds like you are approaching this as an illegal drug dealer would rather then how a business professional would.

    People do not invest in 'high risk - high reward'. They invest in 'low risk - high reward'. Capital is scarce and those with it are holding on to it. Unless you have a rock solid business plan that is a sure money maker no one is going to even consider your pitch.

    This is also not a sensitive issue. Your license is granted by the state which makes you legitimate. Again you seem to have the guy on the street corner selling dime bags approach.

    This is a business, I am a business man. In no way shape or form and I approaching this from a "shady" point. With that said, there is risk. Personally I don't feel an explanation is necessary, but laws change fast and the trends will change faster.

    if you are looking for an investor then explanations are going to be required. No investor is going to be comfortable with someone who does not seem to be ahead of the laws. This means that if in your business plan you are associating a high degree of risk with the legalities of your project then the investors are going to stay away. A solid plan would lay out exactly what the laws are. How you will go about getting the needed licenses and operating permits. I think the amount of money you are asking for is inline with what it would take to make this business work.

    How do I know? Washington, DC is in the process of issuing 5 grow licenses in the city. They are considering medical marijuana but they do not want product transported in from outside the city. We own a 50,000 sqft warehouse in the heart of the city. We have already had people come in to look at our facility to see if it would work for this project. These are well respected businessmen who understand the potential in a project like this. Start up is minimal after the costs of licensing. If you can find the right secure building with enough space you should be under $10k a month for rent. After that you have materials and staff. You can start small with one person and grow from there. With maybe $40k needed at start-up and $20k in operating expenses you would need $160k for six months operating capital. By that time you should have positive cash flow and be able to start paying back your investors. 18 months after that you should be able to pocket $10k a month and even hire help.

    This is not a high risk business if your licensing is handled correctly. If you can get a license there has yet to be a state to permanently repeal the issuance of licenses once issued (on a statewide bases).

    research research research...

    Sorry.. this is how it works... you're not going to find people by being lucrative or not answering questions. If your plan does not stand up to public ridicule it will never survive a round with VC's or bankers. Brush off the plan.. put it in front of people... No one is going to respond to your approach the way it is..
