I think it would depend on the circumstance. Right away it would raise a red flag for me- honestly I don't think I'd do it unless he could guarantee me a certain number of attendees.... 25% would be essentially taking my profit. (Think paper products, condiments, travel expenses, labor etc.)
If you look at it as "advertising" or "exposure" then maybe...

I'll agree with the previous posters.  That is a pretty ridiculous deal.  You'd have to have super high margins to make anything.  Maybe 25 percent of net but still... Gotta watch out for crap like this.

Think of it in terms of rent. Are you willing to pay 25% in rent? I think not. Determine for yourself what you would be willing to pay in rent and negotiate from that perspective.

 

Good luck.

thanks much for the support - for events like this - what is more inline - 10%?  Maybe I'll just sell by the by the lb and sample & hand out tons of discount coupons for online purchases.
