If I need 80,000 to start a business venture, that with very modest projections...?

Question

will earn 80,000 each year, is that a good return on investment?

Will Angel investors require a larger return?

Answer 1

If the business requires very little of your attention then it seems like an excellent return.

However, if you factor in your time, assuming it requires your full-time attention, then its almost like "buying yourself a job" that pays $80k annually. If you can make that for someone else's company, then its not such a good deal for you. If that's the only way you can make anywhere near that kind of salary, then it may still be a good venture for you. (This is without taking into account any appreciation of the value of the business - that is an unknown per your question).
