Capitalists, would you invest in something with a guaranteed 10% return?
I'm curious because i have a buseniss plan here that basically guarantees a 20% return on each $10 invested on let's say a minimal total budget of atleast 50k. I'm wondering since alot of capitalists are on this forum so is that an attractive offer if you consider investing in a start-up?

If not what is it that you are looking for in an investment and what can i do to make it more desirable when i actually decide to go for it?

Madoff and Enron had better guarantees than 10%.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77731266


Each 3 months i would be able to guarantee a 10% return on each $10 invested. So that's a guaranteed (minimal) 5k on a 50k investment each quarter. I dont think it's that bad but at the same time 50k is real money and an investor might expect more than that..

But the expectations are much more than that when i show the market research/target audience. The above is a minimal expectation.

Im still waiting for the government to give me an ok though since the practice is unclear in the law as it is. But just anxious to know what a desirable offer is for an investor

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76832089


That's good though, that means i can probably offer less return on investment.

Is 10% considered too good to be true? What is reasonable, what does the average investor expect?

The returns would be each quarter and i would integrate the option in the contract to pull-out the entire investment each 6 months.

So that's a really good deal right?

Sure but there’s plenty of stocks that have guaranteed return of 5% -8.5%

We just have to double our investment

If you can get a 10% return you should have offered a 6-8% return and kept the extra for yourself...you never offer a round number..

If you're really good with the stock market power to you, but my guess is that for most people it doesn't bring continious income like a buseniss can

40% annually? It is a scam. Not possible to guarantee a return that is remotely close to that.

Sure, but I wouldn't invest in most businesses that "guarantee" a return unless its like an annuity or something government backed or money is in cash assets to cover the guarantee. That's a dangerous word, don't use it in your Offering Memorandum to avoid a lawsuit.

OP,

The true answer depends upon the risk. If there is high risk, hell no. If low risk, I'd look seriously at it.

My folks in the US think they will be getting rich selling legal Weed - I've been offered several partnerships. Risk was too high and, in my opinion, the expected returns were over optimistic.

risk is the important factor.
