I am working on a plan to secure some funding for some new equipment for a small gold mine. I have a potential investor of $80,000. I plan to form an llc in Alaska that will lease the mineral rights from me for 3 years and will be taxed as a partnership. The investor will be a silent partner.

Is it beneficial to the investor for the llc to award to him the yearly losses? How much loss would have to be rewarded in order for him to fully recover his investment? I hope to pay him 100% of the losses and also a percentage of the gold as a way of minimizing his risk and making the deal more attractive.

Also, can I bring my own past losses into the llc as an asset?

Thank you for your time.
