From private to public

We are located in Australia and putting together a national food service distribution business by acquiring already operational businesses with strong financials and greater than 15 year trading history.  Once under our control each business allows a limited number (400) of the customers currently using the service to buy into the business they are helping to build. Their buy in will give them access to shares share of the profits and group discounts.  By having our end user's part of the business we will increase our sales revenue dramatically.  The final part of this process is to reverse merger onto the ASX, with the increased revenue and earnings multiplier from private to public brings it will bring all our investor partners a great windfall. 

My question is would you invest in this if $10,000 gave you 100,000 shares at listing limited to 200

Would you invest in this if $10,000 gave you 50,000 shares at listing limited to 200

What could be added to give a level of confidence for investment 

What pitfalls do you see to the process

Has anyone carried out this type of venture before. Cheers Adam
