Three family members go into the pizza business. Ernie Bilko has some pizzeria business experience. His uncle John Hall is willing to invest. Ernie's cousin, Duane Doberman, has some spare cash and spare time. John, who knows nothing about pizza, puts up $80,000 cash and hopes for a 10 percent return on his investment. Ernie contributes only $5,000, but he wants annual pay of at least $36,000. Duane invests $15,000 and agrees to be part-time bookkeeper and responsible for obtaining permits, licenses and insurance. Ernie will be in charge of the kitchen and the hiring of employees. Ernie will also be in charge of leasing the space needed for the business and contracting with vendors for the equipment necessary to start up the business. All three of them expect that it will take at least a year before the business turns a profit.
