Nope
That’s why (no offence) you’re not a highly successful business owner

In a cut throat industry this is not what happens

Unless they have numerous other channels of finance coming in

Highly unlikely

Combined with the fact they actually sound like they know what they are doing

Dave is horrendous so it does make you think why on earth they took this approach

But no way to help a mate and risk years and years of hard work. Countless hours, days, months and years away from family and friends to be a success to help a mate whose awful at running a company

Sorry
Makes zero sense almost as little sense as teaming up with him
