Cindy Dane has come to you after purchasing a mobile slushy machine business on 1 September 2016. The business cost $100,000 and was financed 50% owner Capital and 50% bank loan at 6% interest over 15 years.
Cindy has provided you with a Profit and Loss Statement and Balance Sheet for the last two years of the business’ trading.
The business currently has one old Van used to deliver the slushy machines. Cindy expects she will need to spend approximately $5,000 on maintenance and repairs of this vehicle, over the next 12 months. Cindy would like to upgrade the Van and expand the business by acquiring another vehicle and 4 more slushy machines.
Cindy is not sure whether to keep the existing Van or either purchase a new van/s, lease a new van/s or obtain second hand van/s.
Cindy also wants advice regarding options of which slushy machines to acquire and whether to lease or buy (new or second hand) extra slushy machines.
Cindy has worked in other people’s small business for the past few years and has decided to take this step of owning a small business as she wants to be able to take time off work in 5 years. She wants to grow this business so that it generates a $150,000 dividends for herself by that time. She also wants to ensure the business is stable and efficient so she can be confident that it will run with a minimum of her time required while she is not actively working in the business. Cindy likes the flexibility of a mobile business where she will not need to rent office space as administration tasks can be done in her home office/study.
