  1. Have you thought about selling shares? Investors can share in the risk and share in the profits. This would probably require an LLC, but I'm not an expert on that.

  2. that is an idea, and I will look into it. In the Pre-Production phase I will be forming an LLC but I am not sure of how shares would work on an LLC, i think you might have to be an Inc. or Corp. to be able to go public but I am by no means a business guru.
