2. What’s the idea?

It’s all about an app.
One that fairly shares profit and loss with entrepreneurial or business stakeholders.
The proposed process is more of a science than an art.
It is fair and transparent and it quantifies inputs such as effort, money, time, etc
And pro-rates this cumulatively when sharing profit or loss.
It’s presumably a novel idea.
And is expected to add great value to the entrepreneurial space.

3. Inspiration for the idea

The idea has been on my mind for a while.
I guess that it came about during my research on getting funding and involving investors.
Watching entrepreneurial programs like dragons den
As well as during my entrepreneurial pursuits.
The process of sharing profits was apparently more in favour of the investor, which is indeed for obvious reasons
And the process appeared more like an art, than a science.
In my opinion, there could be a better way
As an analytical mind, I thought of doing things differently
This is what birthed the idea.

9. How does the Profit Sharing Formula App work?

The entrepreneur does, or project manages the work.
He shall have an agreed hourly rate.
The same hourly rate shall apply to investors.
This shall be modified as necessary and as mutually agreed.
The work he does shall be timed.
The app shall have a timer or clock.
His time or effort shall be quantified in currency of choice and agreement e.g. £’s, $’s, etc
If he outsources work to freelancers, he shall be paid for supervision and project management.
Realistic budgets would have been agreed in advance
So, will the deliverables.
Financial inputs by investors shall be accumulated just like those of the entrepreneur’s effort and investment
At any point in time; whether monthly, quarterly, annually, etc; when it’s time for profit sharing. This shall be computed by pro-rating each individual’s cumulated contributions
For example, if it’s agreed to share profits every 6 months.

If the investors cumulative input is £3,000.00 and that of the entrepreneur is £2,000.00 total cumulative is £5,000.00.
If the profit to be shared is £1,000.00
The investor gets 3/5*1000 = £600.00
The entrepreneur gets £400.00

As the collaboration journey continues

If the investor adds £500.00
And the input of the entrepreneur is £1000.00
And if the new profit is £2,000.00

the cumulative becomes £3,500.00 for the investor and £3,000.00 for the entrepreneur.
Total stake becomes £6,500.00

By sharing £2,000.00

The investor gets 3.5/6.5*£2,000.00 = £1076.92
Entrepreneur gets 3/6.5*£2,000.00 = £923.08
and so on

The Profit Sharing Formula App computes all the figures based on inputs.
Please see the demonstration table later in the video.

49. Who’s the project manager?

He’s the chief executive officer or chief operations officer or entrepreneur.
He executes the project or business while the investor finances it.
The project manager isn’t paid for his services; instead, he gets a profit share based on business success.
He could therefore do the job as a side hustle

50. Could there be re-investments from stakeholders?

Yes, whenever there’s need for it.
From the investors, project manager or suitable others.

Jack’s Empowerment jaaloo.com. Jaaloo Puzzles

51. Could the project manager end up as the major stakeholder?

Yes. He could end up the major shareholder even though he started as the minor financial shareholder.
By the time his efforts accumulate, he could end up as the major stakeholder.
He could also invest cash or recycle his dividends as necessary.
If the project or business is successful the return on investment for all parties could be high and limitless.
Therefore it ends up a win-win.

52. Exit strategy

a plan shall be in place for the exit of any stakeholder
this could be due to:

conflict
death
ill health
sale of business
liquidation
etc

there shall be a realistic formula for parting ‘gifts’

Jack’s Empowerment jaaloo.com. Jaaloo Puzzles

53. Extra x% to the entrepreneur for historical work?

Consider giving the Entrepreneur an extra stake
he put in historical work and thought
this may not be quantifiable
this shall encourage him further
and give him a sense of value
this encourages him to input great value
this is fair compromise
the value of x shall be negotiated

Alternatively:

quantify and approximate his historical effort
And include this in the computations
