Working plan · for Tj, Breanna and Pat · reviewed 2026-09-06

One company. One loan.
One step at a time.

This page is the working plan for Tomasetti Tech. It is not a pitch. It is the loan numbers, the 35% Tj / 35% Breanna / 30% Pat ownership proposal, and the risks written down so we can decide together with our eyes open. Pat's grant is intended to be immediate at formation/signing, but nothing is final until all three members and the required professionals review and sign.

What Tomasetti Tech is

A Colorado LLC we are thinking about forming. It would own the software, the websites, the domains, the servers, and the repair work we already run from home. The working cap table is Tj 35% / Breanna 35% / Pat 30%; Pat is both a member and CFO. Her immediate grant, consideration/relationship to money Tj owes her, tax treatment, and any cash or credit support require separate written review. The company does not exist legally yet.

What the money would actually pay for

Not ideas. Real stuff that turns the work we already do into cash: repair parts and tools, a couple more cheap servers or older computers so we are not running everything on one box, and a monthly budget for AI costs of roughly $200–300 instead of squeezing by. Then a small cushion for the slow months.

Parts + toolsAI budget $200–300/moMore cheap hardware
Important: the $10,000 target, the 35% / 35% / 30% ownership percentages, the payment estimate, and the ownership terms are all proposals. They are not agreed, not quoted by a lender, and not signed. That is the whole point of this page, to turn "we should talk about this" into a real document.
02 / The ask

The loan in plain numbers

It is a small ask on purpose. A lender sets the real terms. This is the planning version so we can decide whether the idea is worth one phone call.

Use of funds (working sketch)

Tools and bench supplies$800
Repair parts and inventory$2,500
AI and API costs$250/mo
A couple more cheap servers / older computers$1,500
Working capital cushionThe rest
Total request$10,000

Round numbers, not a real budget. Each line gets priced against real vendors before any lender call.

Repayment logic

1Keep the lights on
Bills and supplies first.
2Pay the loan
No profit out while the payment is at risk.
3Build a cushion
One slow month should not sink us.
4Split what is left
Only after 1, 2 and 3 are covered.
Loan amount$10,000
Interest rate10%
Loan term5 years
Est. monthly payment$212/mo

A $10,000 loan at roughly 10% over five years lands near $212 a month. Real terms will differ, and that is fine.

03 / How it gets paid back

What pays for it: first, next, later

The loan has to be covered by near-term work, not by hoping. Here is the order.

First · closest to cash

Repair + B2B

Computer and audio repair, plus setting up AI tools for small local businesses on a monthly retainer. This is the work that actually covers the payment.

RepairRetainersLocal business
Next · product revenue

Software we can license

The repair CRM, the Customer Service Wizard, the audio tools. We use them ourselves first. Once they work, we sell them to other shops and brands.

What could go wrong (and what we'd do about it)

A plan is only worth something if it survives a bad month. Here is the honest version.

High

Revenue starts slow

What could happen

The first repair jobs or B2B retainers come in later than we hope, and the month ends up thinner than planned.

What we would do

Spend the loan in stages, keep the ask small, watch cash every week, and do not open new projects until repair is actually paying for itself.

High

We miss a payment

What could happen

A bad month meets a loan payment, and whoever signed the guarantee is on the hook personally.

What we would do

No guarantee without a written OK from everyone involved, the loan gets paid before anything comes out, keep a cushion, and agree now on what calling the lender looks like.

Medium

Too many projects, not enough time

What could happen

Twenty half-finished sites and nothing that makes money.

What we would do

One money-making goal at a time. A new project waits until the current one is actually working.

Medium

The deal starts to feel unfair

What could happen

One of us thinks the split no longer matches the work or the risk.

What we would do

Answer the questions in the deal section, write everything down, and get SBDC or an attorney to look at it before anyone signs.

Medium

Everything depends on Tj

What could happen

If Tj gets sick or burned out, most of the company stalls because the knowledge only lives in his head.

What we would do

Write down how things actually run, keep the money decisions with Pat, and do not add obligations until revenue can carry them.

05 / The deal

Who owns what, and who decides what

A loan cannot be judged on its own. The ownership, the control, and who is on the hook if it fails is the part we have to agree on before anything else. Three people, one company: the working split is Tj 35% / Breanna 35% / Pat 30%; Pat is also CFO and keeps the books. Grant treatment, governance, CFO authority, succession, and lender terms still require written review.

06 / What we need to decide

Four separate decisions

Each one is its own question. Nobody signs anything at this table — we set the dates.

D1

Form the LLC

Colorado filing, $50, manager-managed. Green light from all three members, then Tj files.

Tj files · after green light
D2

Sign (or date) the operating agreement

The 35 / 35 / 30 cap table, grant treatment, CFO scope, succession. Attorney review first.

All three · after review
D3

Start the loan sequence

EIN → voluntary credit reviews → SBDC first call. The $10K ask stays a planning number until a lender sets terms.

Tj + Pat together
D4

Insurance, bank, EIN

General liability (~$30–50/mo) is the real blocker to taking in equipment. Bank account after the LLC exists.
