Filbert, There are lots of ways to raise capitol and the "right" solution is a personal choice. Susan and I loaned the money to ourselves after pulling it from investments and my house. You can also just get a flat out small business loan if you have a solid business plan. I'm sure if you are working with Eva and David you do. You can also sell "shares" to people and figure out what they get in return. If you get creative, there are all sorts of possibilities. Do you have both of your kidneys?
