Investment Opportunity: School Development

[Kaul Christian Kappenman]

I have a client that is interested in opening a school/daycare. However, we have a unique problem. We are in lease negotiations on a great building, the ownership group is only willing to put in a certain amount in TI. That amount coupled with the amount that my client the LEASEE is willing to put into the building is not enough to completely renovate the building. Does anyone have any suggestions or know anyone that would be willing to invest in a business model like this? How do we get more renovation money? Silent partners? Equity stakeholders?
