Startup Finance

Opening a Livescan Fingerprinting business is not a difficult task. The difficult part is knowing if you can open a livescan fingerprinting facility in your state. Currently California is the only state that allows the private sector to provide these services. Most states like Illinois, Texas, and some others only allow this to be done through statewide contracts. Some states such as Nevada and Maryland are moving into allowing private sector to provide these services - like California. All in all 26 states use livescan technology for applicant processing/background checks (non-criminal applications)

Well, it depends on what type of restaurant you have. Casual dining restaurants like Chili's or Applebees will average between $550 and 650. $2,800,000 / 4500 sq. ft Fast food chains like McDonalds and Chick-fil-a do better averaging about $1000 per foot. $1,300,000 / 1200 sq. ft Up scale restaurants Ruth's Chris or Morton's are in the middle, around $800 $4,500,000 / 5250 sq. ft Keep in mind that these are for the well known and profitable chain restaurants. Mom and Pop restaurants usually do not hit these numbers due to lower brand rcognition.

A movie's gross is the total amount of money a movie makes during its run in the box office (I'm not sure if physical media sales such as Blu-Ray and DVD counts here). A movie's net profit is the total amount of money gained after taking into account the expenses needed in order to create the movie. Here, physical media would be harder to calculate as profit from sales often are distributed to various people (such as the distributor), so I don't think they are often included.

I am a CPA whose firm specializes in handling the back office accounting for venture funds so feel comfortable speaking to some of the non-marketing issues related setting up a fund. Structure Generally, the first step in setting up a venture fund is finding a lawyer to prepare your legal documents. Your lawyer will help you decide a number of items. You will generally save some time and money by thinking about these issues before meeting with your lawyer. Structure - Most venture capital funds are structured as limited partnerships. Limited partnerships generally have two types of investors: limited partners and a general partner. Limited partners are generally non-active investors who commit to invest a fixed amount of money to the fund (capital commitment) in exchange for a pro-rata share of the economics of the fund (e.g. proceeds from sales, dividend income, interest income). The liability of each limited partner is limited to his/her/its commitment to the fund. Fund's generally have one general partner. The job of the general partner is to manage the fund's investments. Generally, a general partner will make a capital commitment of one percent of the commitments of all partners. For example, if the limited partners were to commit $99 million to a fund, the general partner would commit $1 million. I have seen funds that are structured as LLC's and Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) as well as Business Development Companies. You should speak with your lawyer about the pros and cons of each structure. Fees - Generally the general partner gets paid in two ways: Management Fee - The general partner (generally through its affiliate, the management company) receives an annual management fee equal to two to two-and-half percent of committed capital. For example, if the fund had total commitments of $100 million and a two percent managment fee, the fund would pay the management company $2 million per year. The management fee is intended to cover the operating costs of the management company including investment personnel salaries, rent, utilities, etc... Carry - The general partner generally receives 20% of the profits of a fund. The general idea is that if the fund is profitable, the general partner will receive a reward. For example, if a fund was able to pay $200 million in distributions to investors who contributed $100 million, 20% of the $100 million gain ($200 million in distributions - $100 million in contributions) or $20 million would go to the general partner. Some funds will have hurdle rates that require the fund pay back not only the contributions of the limited partners but also provide them with some return on their investment (e.g. 8% per year) before a carry allocation is paid. Other expenses - Some other expenses that are not related to the management company are as follows: Audit and Tax Fees - These are the amounts paid to an outside CPA firm to have the fund audited and tax forms (referred to as schedule k-1's) prepared. (Side note: Limited partnerships are passthrough entities for tax purposes meaning the income and expenses are passed on to the partners. The Schedule k-1's tell each partner how much he or she owes.) Due Diligence Expenses - These are out of pocket expenses for travel and advice that the employees and members of the management company or general partner incur when looking at companies to invest in. Legal Fees - These are the legal fees incurred by the fund. Organizational and Syndication Costs - These are the costs related to structuring a fund including legal costs and the costs of recruiting limited partners to invest in the fund. Legal Documents The lawyers usually prepare three main legal documents for a fund: Partnership Agreement - This agreement spells out all of the operational rules of the partnership. It would include the formulas for calculating the carry and the management fees. It would also detail limitations in the amounts and types of investments that the general partner is allowed to make. Offering Document (Private Placement Memo) - This is the marketing document for the fund. Unlike mutual funds which are heavily regulated, venture funds are generally not registed. In exchange for the lack of regulatory burden, venture funds must avoid marketing in general. Venture Funds are allowed to put together private placement memos which are designed to provide a potential investor with all of the information that such investor may require including explanations of the fund structure, its strategy and management. Subscription Documents - These are the documents an investor must fill out in order to invest in the fund. It includes personal information including contact information and tax identification numbers. It also includes the investors commitment amount. It includes a questionaire designed to determine whether or not the investor is qualified to invest in the fund. It is important that you hire lawyers with fund knowledge and experience to get this document right.

Venture Capital involves the financing of start-up companies. These companies generally don't have the ability to source capital from traditional sources like banks or public markets as they are in the early stages of their life cycle and often generate negative cash-flows. So, rich individuals who can afford to take huge risks usually invest or rather fund such new business ventures.

Financial is provided during the following 3 stages:

1. Seed Stage - For research, assessment and development of an initial concept

2. Start-up Stage - To finance product development and initial marketing of the product

3. Expansion Stage - For the increase of production capacity, development of markets or products or enhancement of working capital.

Generally, no - the artist usually rents the studio(s) for a certain period of time to record the tunes, and the producer may or may not use the same studio for mixing the "tapes". However, studios that successful songs were recorded in sometimes get famous, and then get more business. But studios charge by the hour, not by the copy sold.

In a nutshell, grant writers write proposals to obtain funding for nonprofit organizations, schools, government agencies to support programs and services.

There isn't a specific major in grant writing but a college degree in English, humanities, social science, or any other major that emphasizes writing and research provides a good grounding for the field. A variety of classes and workshops on grant writing are offered by nonprofit organizations, community colleges, and through continuing education programs.

www.hotel-slippers.martbase.com There are three kinds of "hotel businesses." The first is a hotel. You can buy an older property or build one. You'll need a hospitality consulting firm to do either one--an old hotel might be a haven for prostitution and drug-related murders, a new one might not be in the right place or it might not offer the services guests have come to expect. The second is a hotel supply firm. These can be general firms that handle everything from the smallest guest room amenities to the largest pieces of equipment. They can also be specialty firms that sell...oh, nothing but laundry stuff. There are people doing a land-office business selling nothing but cleaning supplies for housekeepers. The third is a hotel supply manufacturer. I know a man who makes nothing but blankets for hospitals and hotels. There must be money in it because he's been there for the last thirty years cranking these out. But before you go into any of these businesses, get a job in a hotel. That will teach you more about what hotels need than anything else you can imagine.

yes, that's true.
