Now, if youā€™re a Dealmaker ā€¦ - Posted by Frank Chin

Hi RM:

You can tell me ā€œFrank, if thatā€™s your worry, youā€™ll get the 25K before I get anything, BUT, in return, I want to keep everything over 50K, my bonus, - anything wrong with that??ā€

In other words ā€œIf the project nets 55K, we split the 50K projected profits at 50/50, and anything above is the bonusā€.

Now Iā€™m VERY SURE the project will net at least 50K.

In other words, the active partner putting nothing down assumes the risk ā€œwhen things go wrongā€, but reaps the rewards ā€œwhen things go rightā€.

Now thatā€™s a WIN/WIN deal, donā€™t you think.

Frankā€™s method is called priority return - Posted by JT-IN

To the investorā€¦ The investor gets priority of cash return, at x% before the sweat equity partner begins taking returns at all. This approach is rather common in the Investment business, where passive, financial partners fund the deal, and are assured by the hands on partner, by their confidence in the deal, to allow their own profits ride while the passive partner reaps their return firstā€¦

You got to get up pretty early in the morning to put one over on Frankā€¦
