Not "plus". The shares ARE for the money invested. The investors foot the bill of construction, training, stocking, supplies and the first few months of operations to get a location up and running. For that MONEY, they get the convertibles that turn into shares. It gives the company the money to do the build out. All the investors are doing is buying shares but direct from the company so the company can build and move forward. When we get about 12 - 15 cafes open, I think the profits will be enough that they will be able to build WITHOUT investors giving them the money, and just do it themselves. But until they reach critical mass, this is how a company from out of the country can build in the states without having their own money. And no, banks don't lend to new locations, because there is no track record for that location yet and no collateral, since the building is rented. So ANY investor who wishes to buy stock, but not do it through the market, which does nothing for the compay per se, can join a group of others and invest in a location if one comes available. That's all the investors for tucson did. Still buy stock, via the convertible, but their money is used to expand the company instead of to some seller. There are NUMEROUS people on THIS board who are The investors for tucson. They just want to remain anonymous as investors.
