What would be the best business " structure " for a Halal meat
works in Australia to produce 100% organic Halal meats
Assume it would need one million dollars , but perhaps it could be
10 times as much more , or 10 times less , just an exercise in "
business structure "we will assume a round figure
The aim is to produce true halal organic { pure } high quality
meats , in particular camel , kangaroo and possibly some lamb goat and
cattle , this side is no problem , meat production is pretty well
understood
The meat would aim be Halal , from paddock to consumers plate ,
with only accredited suppliers of livestock even sales only to
accredited retailers , not supermarkets who also handle non halal
meats often in the same outlet by non Muslims
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY Questions flow from
****It is proposed to employ only Muslims
**** Proposed to only buy / sell to approved customers who would
need to also be " Shareholders " in order to " buy " ,
mainly to raise funds and guarantee the supply chain has a vested
interest in maintaining top quality all the way from paddock to plate
**** Shareholders would get first chance at meat produced and surplus
would be traded to the public / wholesale market if needed
My question is
* What Australian laws may apply
* What is the best way to establish the business ,
* and world anti discrimination or free / fair trade laws apply ???
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I assume for the exercise we have 10,000 individuals who put up /
buy a 1% share each , so it would be a " public Company "
BUT would / could it be a " cooperative", I'm not sure
OR a large " partnership " possible ?, is this legally possible to
have 1000 partners , some liability problems here I think , and
management hassles with too many partners seems likely
The aim is to have all workers suppliers and consumers ALL as sort f
equal owners , by them first needing to buy a share and so increase
the possibility of producing a better product
A complex chain of supply from paddock to plate has too many weak
spots to let the entire supply chain down and one case of food
poisoning can close an entire meat works and bankrupt the entire
organisation . Hence I feel a sole trader or limited partnership would
not have enough built in security and would fail if just one worker
failed to obey the " rules " accidentally or deliberately , and
damage the entire operation
It is a very hard job to maintain quality Halal meat , when so many
Christians and Jews take great pleasure in closing you down to please
THEIR GOD
If we are to have a real quality Halal meat supply , it must be
owned and controlled COMPLETELY by Muslims IMHO , from paddock to
plate and every where in between must be responsible for the chain to
be protected and high quality to be maintained , so as to get good
returns from highest quality products , not hamburger mince price and
quality as is often now all we can find / expect , IMHO
I understand the physical side of the farming and meat industry
very well , and small business / sole trader and partnerships are
pretty easy to understand as Iv been self employed most of my life
But I'm not really sure , how public companies and equal opportunity
laws in Australia may affect a business structure , as I'm describing
Yes this is only a question , its far from a " proposal " or a venture
start-up
YES its best to get expert advise when working on a project of this
size
I'm just formulating a " possible " venture and its still too early to
say if its a " goer "
I am just mulling this one over , Need to debug / evolve the
concept
thanks for reading , and come back in a few days if you think of any
useful ideas
