If I own a company and the annual revenue is $100,000, and I have investors with a 15% ownership. Where does the money go?

You already have part of your answer. You know what types of foods the local workers are eating based on the food trucks. What you need to consider is how much of that type of food can you sell and at what cost in order to recoup your costs to develop the land. This is assuming that there are currently no buildings on the land that can be converted into a restaurant. Keep in mind that you are in an industrial area, how many shifts are there, how many workers buy their meals, and not bring them from home. The first step I is to find out the cost of development, while doing that make a survey and go down by those food trucks (if you can afford it hire some young people to do that for you) Count the number of customers that eat there and ask the people that buy food there if they would come to a restaurant if it was built? What kinds of food they would be looking for? How much of a break do they get for meals? Things of that nature. You may find it better to develop the land in an industrial way rather than a restaurant. The surveys will reveal the possible amount of customers you potentially have, and can give you a price point on how much they are willing to pay, and even do they have the time to come to a restaurant to eat.

You could also try to establish a group of analysts that would meet with you (virtually or in-person) that would act as an advisory group, in exchange for seeing their product inputs considered, or possibly a period of free use of the app. The best way to find out their motivations for signing up is to ask a bunch of them. If you approach them by saying you want to pick their brains as subject-matter experts, you might find they are interested in providing input, which is exactly what you're looking for. You could also look for a local or online association of analysts or researchers, and see if you can give a presentation to them on what you think the top app needs are, and see what feedback you get.

[This is a duplicate of the question at https://clarity.fm/questions/4300] Since some new business owners get excited about revenue, instead of gross profit, it is always wise to show the difference. Let us consider as an example, that your business makes $10,000 (revenue) in revenue in one month, and has a cost of goods (or services rendered) of $7,000. This means that you have to pay someone (e.g. a vendor) $7,000 to make $10,000. Then, you are faced with general expenses for the month that amount to $2,000 (utilities, etc.). The excerpts that you quoted from the article mean that you should NOT think that you are spending $2,000 from the $10,000 (revenue), but that you are spending $2,000 from the $3,000 (gross profit: $10,000 - $7,000). As you can imagine, you will be much more cautious when you realize that you are spending 66% of your gross profit on expenses, and not simply 20% of your revenue. While this is certainly common sense, the reason for his pointing it out is that sometimes people do not keep it in mind.

There are many options. You can apply for federal aid by filing a FAFSA application, you can apply for financial aid from the state in which y

I'm definitely not an attorney, but have worked with several (many dozens) startups who have gone through the seed, angel and venture funding processes. The first step to consider is whether you are financing your investment as debt or equity. If you're talking about interest, you could be referencing interest paid on a debt note, or you could be referencing interest (shares) in some form of an LLC corporation. Which, brings me to my next point, the format and style of investment you take on can also be influenced by which type of legal entity you are incorporated under. Each classification, from S Corps to C Corps to LLCs and LLPs, have different implications surrounding how you take on outside investment. Also, I'm not sure if your model is unique in someway, but offering employment in exchange for investment seems somewhat unwise and possibly sticky to complete (if even possible.) I would definitely speak to a Labor attorney about that since if it were even possible to do may it could make the contract writing side challenging (terms of employment/firing etc.) For what it is worth, most people consider a convertible or Safe (simple agreement for future equity) note at the funding levels you are describing. It makes the process very smooth and there is a ton of freely available documentation/templates online you can use to complete these with little or no legal involvement. Happy to discuss any other formation or investment positioning items, feel free to reach out if you have other questions. best of luck with your round!
