Fact Pattern 21-2
Alice and her general partner, Greg, own several businesses. Alice is very interested in salt water aquariums and decides that a good venture for the partnership would be the development of a business to raise tropical fish. She plans to issue stock to start the fish business with the idea that she and Greg will purchase a majority of the stock. She has a friend, Tony, a plastic surgeon with a good practice, who has expressed interest in the venture because he believes that the presence of fish in waiting rooms reduces anxiety and encourages patients to spend more money. Alice does not want to go to the expense and trouble of a formal registration under the 1933 Act and seeks advice on how to avoid that process should the partnership issue securities.
