Where are you going to find that kind of cash? Who would be willing to finance a business in an industry with a failure rate of around 60%? Fortunately for you, there are people out there – from glamour seeking angels to hard nosed venture capitalists – willing to invest in restaurants, hoping to grab a nano portion of the $537 billion in sales projected by the National Restaurant Association for 2007, or maybe to get in at the ground floor of another Cheesecake Factory or McDonalds.
