Is this a creasy idea?

How do I go about selling the master license for each state instead of equity? The return for the investor would be much greater. A $10,000 investment would return millions.

The master license holder would become an associate and would retail to licensees.

The size of the market is enormous and will keep growing. Just the baby boomers, 70 millions and multiple target markets are available all over the country if not the world.

The product: Finest food freshly prepared by top professional chefs in a production kitchen located in a one-hour radius of the community.

The service: The food is delivered hot, safe to eat and completely table ready right to where today busy consumer want to be, at home.

The innovation: The food is delivered in a specially designed patent pending food carrier. Finally, a “GREEN” way to deliver real food, and with class, in a premium casserole dish that fits on any dining table with pride! You cannot say that about Styrofoam!

Technology: All menus viewing, ordering and paying are done on the Internet allowing for knowing ahead what to buy and prepare where to deliver and when down to the minute and been paid ahead. This is a revolution for the food industry.

For its customers/consumer, the concept provides at home three of the most precious commodities in modern society: TIME – CONVENIENCE – NUTRITION.

For the independent licensee operator this is a unique opportunity to start a specialty catering business with very low entry capital in a protected market with revenues unseen in the food industry. Because guessing, the cause for so much failures is replaced with knowing ahead what to buy and prepare, where to deliver and when down to the minute and been paid ahead.

Where are the experts in master license?

Gilbert,

The concept of licensing, by State is valid. Be sure to avoid activities that make your deal look like a franchise offering.  

Gilbert,

From my experience, I see several parts of a successful licensing effort:

1. The legal aspect (disclosure, contracts, etc) 
2. Creating "value" for the purchaser
3. Marketing the licenses
4. Supporting the licensee for mutual success.

If you send me a PM, I will give you some contact info

Gilbert,

You can send a Private message to any SuN member from their profile page.

I just sent one to you to show how it works.

Licensing can be a way to expand a business - geographically.

If by "manage licensing" you mean master licensing - it is a variation on the concept which enables the master licensee to issue license agreements to others.
