How To Create a New and Exciting Business Model

1. Creation of a real estate trust, for the purpose of developing NEW and EXCITING ways to structure different businesses that the trust can hold as true equity investments in start up companies with somewhat of a limited risk on the part of the trust, if directed and planned in the proper manner.
2. Distribution of shares. The trust would have NO LIMIT on the number of public shares the trust can distribute, but there would be a limit on how many shares a single entity can own. For example, minimum number of shares that could be purchased would be 50, and the maximum number of shares that one entity could purchase would be set at (200,000) shares.
3. Retail food grocery chain. The initial creation of the real estate trust would start with the operation of a retail food grocery chain that would be franchised under certain relatively strict guidelines for the franchise operator. But if understood by the franchise, the franchise business plan would be quite beneficial to the franchise. It would work in the following manner.
4. A typical store would be in the 60,000 to 70,000 square foot range. The real estate trust would purchase the land for the franchise operator and build not only the grocery store, but a complete shopping center anchored by the grocery store. The rental rate for the grocery store would be well below the standard market rates for grocery stores for the region where the store would be located, so as to allow the franchise operator the capability to compete with other grocery stores in the immediate area. Additionally, the franchise operator would also be granted the opportunity to be an equity owner in the entire development of the property in question up to a maximum of 20% with an equity infusion of the necessary development costs associated with each project that he/they/them may be invited to participate in.
5. Limited restrictions placed on franchise. The franchise would have the ability to operate the unit with limited restrictions being placed upon the franchise by the franchisor. Additionally, the franchise would be allowed to be creative as long as the operator does not cause harm to the supply agreements in place by the franchisor.

   Franchises would be allowed to create specials, variety of product, new items, food specials, small supply agreements (LIMITED), small snack shops, and small business ventures with the intent to be creative. But if it is found that the franchise does not post sales for an item or items, it will be a direct cause for franchise termination and eviction. The intent would be to allow the franchise as much latitude as possible so as not to create problems for the trust or the franchisor.

6. Supply agreements. It would be the intent of the franchisor and/or the trust to create an equity interest with multiple suppliers for the grocery stores and other business interests of the trust and its other business ventures to either MERGE, PURCHASE, or FORM PARTNERSHIPS and/or SUPPLY AGREEMENTS with any type of supplier that may be advantageous to the trust and/or the franchisor and also be beneficial to the bottom line of each and every business venture the trust may establish.
7. Employee salary. Salaries for employees would be somewhat standard to current market rates, but with a NEW TWIST: for each dollar over the first full year’s gross sales for the unit in question, the employees would be able to obtain bonuses up to 30% of total gross sales volume, minus of course their base salaries. Remember that an employee’s salary will vary each and every month either up or down based on the volume of the sales from the beginning of the first year's sales volume. This is meant to create dedicated employees with incentives to become part of the daily operation of each unit in question.
8. Advantages of the franchise.
   • The purpose of inviting the franchise to become a partner in the development of the entire property is to create unity and to afford the franchise the opportunity to create value for their retirement goals. It is also useful that the franchise be current with daily operations of the property in question, should a problem arise that would need immediate attention.
   • Another purpose to having franchises is that sometimes the franchise can be beneficial to the trust and the franchisor by cementing relationships with suppliers that the franchisor and the trust cannot establish on a daily basis. Bringing more harmony to a project by getting everyone involved makes for a longer and more established relationship and business-friendly atmosphere.
   • The trust’s and the franchisor's ability to create long term supply agreements – such as partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, creativity, specialty, small supply agreements, and flexibility – is the keystone of an operating company with the ability for long term profitability and existence.
9. Advantages of sharing operating profits. By sharing the operating profits with the employees, the franchise becomes more of a friend rather than a boss. If the employees do not perform as they should, their salaries will show the lower performance of the group as a whole and their efforts as a whole.
10. Voting to dismiss employees. Remember, it is not uncommon to have an employee who does not work well with others and is not a team player. In that case, instead of someone in management DISMISSING that person or persons, whole departments shall vote on dismissal of an employee by majority vote showing unity of the entire entity.
11. Retirement benefits. The trust would be required to set aside (10%) of the employee's bonus pay for retirement benefits as a small nest age that would hopefully help with retirement if Social Security is still in existence when the employee is ready for retirement.
