It is an option if you have the kind of money to build and maintain the infrastructure to make it work and keep it working. But, since you are asking, you almost certainly have that kind of money. And I am talking about kinds of money rather than amounts of money because while it takes a particular amount of money, relationships, experience and knowledge also play roles...basically, the easiest way to do what you want to do is to ask your banker to set it up for you (again your banker not your bank). At the high level bit, this smells a bit like a way to excuse failure. I mean business is hard enough and you could do everything the easy way and still probably fail one or more times.[1] And making it harder from the outset...taking a dependency on finding someone you don't know with vague qualities and availability allows assignment of causality to that person when things go south...they're the face of the business afterall. Finally, there's a fundamental problem with what you are looking for. Your plan places trust in someone you don't know well who is comfortable with ongoing deceit and will take credit for things they didn't do and will play second fiddle to your lead...and they aren't your banker. Good luck. [1]: you could also do everything the easy way and the right way and still fail just because of insufficient luck.
