Key Players: Gloria Smithson Gloria regularly used widgets* in her position as a manufacturing supervisor at Energy Efficiency Ltd. An engineer by education, she spent evenings designing a newer, better, and more efficient widget that would revolutionize the energy industry. When she felt confident that she had perfected the design, she and her husband Joe fabricated a prototype. When the prototype functioned as they intended, they hired a lawyer to file design and utility patent applications. Now, 18 months later, their attorney told them that they have been granted provisional design and utility patents. Gloria is confident that she is ready to start her business, and she wants to quit her current job to do so. Gloria knows the business will start small but believes that it will grow into a multimillion-dollar company with many employees. She wants to minimize the taxes the business pays, and she wants to make sure that she and her family are insulated from personal liability for debts of the business, or liability in the event of injury caused by the widget. Joe Smithson Joe is Gloria's husband. He is also an engineer and agrees with Gloria that they should start a business, but he is not willing to quit his job at this point to help Gloria. They need to have at least one steady income, and they rely on Joe's job benefits like health insurance and his 401k. They borrowed money from Joe's 401k to manufacture the prototype widget, and they paid the patent application fees and their attorney's fees from those funds. Gerald Wilson Gerald is Gloria's father. He is retired but is willing to invest some money into Gloria's business. However, he wants to have some control over the business and wants his investment to be considered a loan that Gloria's business would have to repay with interest. Nancy and Roger Forrester Nancy and Roger are childhood friends of Joe's. They learned about the new widget when they were at the Smithsons' home for a BBQ and saw the prototype on the kitchen counter. They are independently wealthy and consider themselves to be venture capitalists; they invest money into new businesses they believe will be profitable. They want to invest money into Gloria's business but don't want to have any day-to-day responsibilities for running the business Gloria is very concerned about insulating herself and her family from personal liability.
