Alright boys I appreciate all the input, your words and insights are always incredibly valuable and I hope to pay all of them back someday somehow!
I'm down a business at the moment, had a catastrophic event and lost my business but in the end it will be okay insurance will make me whole after all the dust has settled and I go through the hell they want to put me though. (insurance is such a terrible nasty jew scam)
I'm back at my first business day to day kinda twiddling my thumbs because I had set this business up to run itself when I left to take on the other business. So I'm on the hunt for the next business opportunity.
There is a chipotle style franchise that has a location in my area and everyone I know who eats there loves it and says they will never eat at qdoba or chipotle again. I would normally never involve myself in food or franchises for that matter but this is a bit different as I actually believe in the product and it's like 5 ingredients, so it's not like a walk in cooler full of 200 different ingredients disaster franchise restaurant. Also being a small newer franchise their royalties and costs are still very low. My cousin who was my manager at my business was also on board because he knows the place and loves it also so we did all the leg work and we're visiting their corporate headquarters in a couple weeks.
Well my uncle who is a super businessman, he is also my godfather and an incredibly good man always looking to help everyone in the family, he caught wind of this that I was interested in food and also a free agent at the moment and of course he had to try and help. He was already offered a proposal to purchase all the franchises of a well known fried chicken fast food restaurant in the area, he doesn't have an aversion to franchises like I do he only cares about the numbers and has done well with them in past. It's a couple dozen restaurants they are all well mismanaged in the hood as most fried chicken franchises are, fix them up and turn them over he's done it before with other franchises. The numbers apparently look good, I'll find out how good tomorrow but I trust my uncles business acumen completely.
So yea I'm in a spot where I can take on this massive business opportunity but I don't care for the product and the company or I can go into the unknown with a risky opportunity where I believe in the company and the product.
I'm not anywhere near making a decision I don't have a fraction of all the info yet but I will soon, would love to do both but I highly doubt that is feasible opportunity cost wise.
