Maybe you guys could help me on this.
As some of you know, I created
Eastern Iowa Airsoft last summer and host Airsoft skirmishes for pay on my friend's private property.
A lot of people have been joining up on my EIA Facebook group page and some have been asking if there is a team or a squad associated with it.
We currently don't have one.
I may decide to form one and if I do, it'll need to have a name.
Other Airsoft groups around the country have an official team or squad and each of those has some sort of military name.
For example, there are several teams here in Iowa. One team is
Bear Cavalry. Another is
Team Wet Works.
Redwing Company is another.
Other team names I've found are
Eagle Task Force,
Gold Squad, etc... Some others use military letters like
Foxtrot Tango.
Can you think of any cool military team names that I could possibly use to create this team?
Any help would be much appreciated!
I also have another question...
EIA is still in its infancy and I need to settle on a concrete organizational structure for it.
In a nutshell, I organize and host the games. I also deal with all the advertising and any marketing associated with it.
My friend owns the private land I host these skirmishes on. In the past, we split any earnings 50/50.
However, he and I tend to disagree over money matters. He wants to charge more and I do not. It's a brand new entity and we have to take it slow and easy. He doesn't see it that way.
So I suggested an alternative.
I suggested that I lease the field from him for the day at a set price. After that, it is up to me to make the money back. (break even/make a profit/loss)
In doing so, I can retain my independence and be able to call the shots and organize the games as I see fit. I do not want this to be a partnership with him.
If you were in my shoes, how would you structure this as an official business or organization?
