We are looking at the following possible businesses:  Italian restaurant  Pizzeria  Regular American restaurant    Our ideal situation would be as follows:  We have little money to put down so we are of course willing to offer or agree to better than average terms for the seller.  There are up front expense for changing ownership of any business to take into consideration as well as relocation costs.    What we have in mind is the following:  1) No or little money down as possible, take over completely upon arrival.  2) We would come in as managing General Partners (51% minimum)   3) We would allow them to still get a percentage of the profits each quarter which would decrease each year as we pay them off on the balance owed.   4) We would offer up to 7 percent interest on the financing which is far better than any bank offers on their money.  5) We would draw salaries weekly plus quarterly profits with all accounting available to the seller for duration of the financing.  6) We need to see net profits of at least 60K per year with more potential in the future.   7) to come in and fully lease the business from the owner for a period of a year or two allowing for the ability to save up for a balloon down payment while still allowing Us to earn a decent living and showing  the owner Our ability to promote, manage and run a successful business.      Michelle is a full Italian chef, making everything from scratch with her own recipes.  We have both been self employed most of our adult lives.  Michelle has been brought up in the restaurant business her entire life.  Michelle has owned her own places before in Olatchawa near Gainesville, FL grossing more than 300K per year.    We are looking to operate it hands on Ourselves and have extensive business management experience in all areas of running a restaurant so We are not dependant on employees to make up for our short comings.    We are willing to relocate to the area of the business which is a substantial expense of Our own showing our willingness and commitment to success.  We need to see complete numbers and information on the business.    You may feel free to start approaching potential sellers on your own on our behalf that look like possible matches.      Thank you,  Chris & Michelle Gilliland  (256) 275 - 4162
