I wish that I was a millionaire; that's what I was originally going to call this post. As Cat_ stated in an earlier thread I just read, Money = Choices. And oh, it must be nice to have them.
While I was sleeping one night I had a dream that I opened a fast food restaurant (Rally's, It's kinda like a Burger King or McDonald) In the new town that I just moved too. Why Rally's? because there isn't one here currently and I loved eating it back where I previously lived and I think it would do well because this is a tourist town and we have a bunch of fast food places here. Meanwhile one of my friends here wants to open a Paintball Course, because for some reason paintball is big here, so that was in my dream too... Anyways... Enough background here is the pitch.
One side/area will have normal paintball field.
If it Costs 15$ for a normal game of paintball this course could cost 10$
Second side/area will be an advanced paintball field, maybe a Cooler/Harder Course
This Course could cost 20$ BUT the participants would be given a coupon for a free Rally Burger/or Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Once at Rally’s The Clerk would see that Special Coupon and give them another coupon for a 5$ off discount to use for the advanced/20$ Course thus making it only 15$, Same Price as everyone else but it would be a better course and they would get free Rally Sandwiches.
Also there could be different Themes for both paintball Fields/Areas. One could be wooded the other could have tubes and buildings to hide behind.
[FONT="]Not sure, just a thought, don’t know much about paintball![/FONT]
More Background/Concerns:
Now... My friend already has a vacant paintball location/building already picked out but I'd have to talk to him more about that to see what the startup costs for that would be.
As for the Fast food Restaurant that can be franchised and they supposedly help you pick out locations, train you, etc. BUT...
1. Supposedly back when this city was alot smaller there was a Rallys here and it must have failed because its not here anymore, WHY?? Possibly bad location? No Business? Idk. I'd have to look into it more and see.
2. Franchise Qualifications, Can I take out a loan from a bank? Has anyone on these forums been a franchisee before? ...check this out, according to there website.
Do I Qualify:
"Culturally, it is essential to ensure you are the right fit for us, and that Checkers is the right fit for you. Financial requirements are also vital. If you are interested in opening a single Checkers restaurant unit, you must have a minimum net worth of $750,000 (excluding your primary residence)of which $250,000 should be in "liquid" assets. If you are a franchisee prospect desiring to acquire an Area Development Agreement to develop multiple Checkers restaurants, you must be able to demonstrate sufficient net worth and the capital to fund your business objectives.
These numbers are just a minimum and could vary by the loan requirements of your lending institution."
Any chance I could get a loan from a bank? Should I check for angel investors around my area? Just wait a while? ...What do you guys/gals think, any advice/sugguestions?
Ps. If only I knew where to find some Millionaire Entrepreneurs to help... :smx19:
