Scott's Win-Win
Scott's Win-Win Simplified Summary
Define Win-Win
Jim/Sandy
- Get cash immediately to reduce stress while longer-term structures can be implemented properly (i.e., good product design)
- Live at Pleasant Valley until they die
- Opportunity to continue improving it
- Successful Products
- Find a legacy sale person, which would be great if it was Scott/Julie/Kids
Scott
- Help Jim/Sandy achieve their dreams
- Sell current company (Northbound Group) to free up more time & Cash
- Work on music projects (Linn, GD Project, Music Editor)
- Become Legacy Owner of Pleasant Valley for Kids & Family & Setting up a sanctuary for others (humans and animals12)
Recommended Three-Phase Structure to Accomplish Win-Win
- Phase 1 - Now: Do something now that can help immediately while leaving options open for the future:
- $75,000 Initial Commitment
- $15,000 Initial Advance to help with immediate cash needs
- $5,000/month for 12 months to provide higher level of monthly cash
- Structure as a loan secured by property after the bank and determine if there’s a more optimal structure (ex: Trusts, LLC, etc.)
- Scott doesn’t want to “earn money” if we’re eventually the legacy owner
- Minimum federal interest rate is required (1.8%) – Well below inflation rate (7% right now).
- Interest accrues but not paid
- Scott doesn’t want to hold up Jim pursuing a legacy sale if it’s the right thing:
- But this helps eliminate the pressure of Jim “having to do something”
- If the right partner comes along, then just adjust Scott to “market return on the debt provided”
- Ex: $100k in at 6% would be $6k interest/year for 2 years = $112k ($12k cost on $2.5M Legacy sale)
- Phase 2 – Medium Term: Discuss Medium Term Plans to be successful with Jim Inventions
- Example: Leverage Scott contacts for patenting of Tractor Chariot
- Phase 3 – Longer Term: See if there is a path for Scott/family to be the legacy partner
- Options expand if and/or when Northbound Group Sells
- Have a Northbound Win result in an increased win for Jim/Sandy
