Mr. Principal, just reissue yourself a big block of shares, get your attorney to write a release opinion letter to make them able to sell right away on the market.
No one would be phased at all. It's what everyone else and their sister does with their own sub penny corps. Quit trying to be mister nice guy or whatever you think you have to be and sell some shares and fund your company straight up.
No one would feel any less of you. Really. They're your shares.
And oh, like I asked, when did you lose the 18098 Hammond Bay St house.
