Really? You are asking me to address the potential risk of my death? “Well, I certainly do not plan on dying any time in the near future,” I started. The Board members laughed. This “single-manager” clause is standard in prospectus language and is merely added in to the list of risks for liability protection. I tried to explain that this is standard language and inherent to any small business, which, despite adequate insurance protection and other precautions, will always suffer should anything prohibit its leader from running the business. I explained how this is especially pertinent in the restaurant business where a chef is essentially, irreplaceable. “However,” I noted, “this is accepted in the industry and hardly makes a business dependent on a single personality such as Robert Del Grande’s ventures, a prohibitively risky concept.”
