I am considering starting a brick and mortar retail project but I want to use OPM and am willing to give up some ownership in the company rather than just borrow all the money and do it on my own. Because it is my idea and my concept which I believe is franchiseable, I want to obviously retain a majority stake in it. I am looking for some ideas in how I would structure this if I were to say bring in 8-10 i nvestors so that it was attractive to them but yet I still have a lot of control. Any thoughts? The whole thing would be less than $100,000 total investment.
