In Loving Memory of…
“Since my daughter’s death in 2008, not a day (or maybe even an hour) has
gone by that I haven’t thought of her or her death. The pain of missing Jenna is always there, and it’s taken me a long time to feel like I could write a public
account of what happened.”

•Market Risk –Market is relatively populated but no outstanding product
•Cost Structure –Early on will attempt to sustain minimum variable and fixed costs
•Financial Risks –Dependent on sales and length of loans
•Operations Risks –Disclosure that not responsible for deaths and legal liabilities –Commitment to company may change as monetary value increases, some partners may want to sell while others may want to continue with company
