it might very well be

very often mass production of electronics is not actually cheaper per-unit. especially after you include the fixed costs. it just lets you poo poo out more units faster

it may literally be cheaper to pay a bunch of canadian engineers to assemble prototypes with hand soldering in a workshop, but they can only make 100 of them before they all hang themselves because manufacturing sucks

Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

To elaborate on what SoundMonkey said, he still has much of the money we gave him, only it's earmarked for operating expenses, things left to buy, supply contracts, etc. But this total budget was to include $5k of his own money from draining a meager 401k or something. Only he found out that the payout won't come for a month. Rather than reduce his budget or eat up the money set aside for operating costs, he wants to get an SBA loan.

The worst case scenario here is that the dog house opens a month later than planned.

Or that's all a lie and he bought a diamond-encrusted hotdog covered in cocaine mustard and the bun is the butt cheeks of a high-priced hooker.

especially if you have a good idea that can make money, i would imagine the order of importance is A) proof of concept / working (thing) first, but not publically, then immediately B) legal protection of said thing, THEN start small selling it and gather at least a quarter of profitable sales/services income, and THEN THEN THEN seek investment money to grow the business if needed at a fraction of a fraction of percentage of ownership in exchange per dollar

and "legal protection" is nothing. if a big player wants in the space, they're coming. the general plan is to crush you in the market, then pick you and your "ip" up for pennies

i meant IP/patent type poo poo. lawyer up and at least get the "IP" to sell for pennies, but it wont be pennies if you did it right from the beginning and captured whatever initial untapped market there was, where acquirers want your customer base as well
