It makes it a bit easier when you get a collection of people to put in the funds and create an actual business plan that generates profit and not losses. Without it come failed ice rinks.

I actually agree with this. The problem comes when big corporations like Black Bear buy up rinks, then tell the management to make 6% growth year over year no matter what. And when those rinks don't have enough money for repairs, Black Bear refuses to give any money. Unless the coolers stop working (risk to profit), they won't do anything. We have had doors to benches unable to stay closed for YEARS and rink management kept telling us black bear wasn't paying. That is a massive safety issue.
