SirMoby makes an excellent point. Unless the help that was given you was financial, perhaps you could return the favor in kind instead of making a (substantial) loan?

I've lost what I "invested" in friends' ideas more than a few times, so I may be a little prejudiced.

Yeah I have to admit I agree with you and SirMoby ... and no the guy helped me out, helped me get contacts back in the day, but I have never been given money by anyone ... I started with my own money so thats not a factor.

I think I will offer him help, try to throw him some things to help him get started, and give him access to one or two of my employees for help occasionally when needed, but I don't think I am about to hand over tens of thousands.

That sounds like the wisest decision you could make given those circumstances
