Brent and Den worked for several years as sales representatives for Xerox Corporation. During this time, they became close friends as they acquired expertise with the firm's full range of copier equipment. Now they see an opportunity to put their experience to work and fulfil lifelong desires to establish their own business. The local TAFE College is expanding, and there is no copy centre within eight kilometers of the campus. Business in the area is booming-office buildings and flats are springing up, and the population of this section of the city is growing.
Brent and Den want to open a copy centre near the campus. A small shopping centre across the street from the TAFE has a vacancy that would fit their needs. Brent and Den each have $20,000 to invest in the business, but they forecast the need for $30,000 to renovate the store.
Xerox will lease two large copiers to them at a total monthly rental of $4,000. With enough cash to see them through the first six months of operation, they are confident they can make the business succeed. The two work very well together, and both have excellent credit ratings. Brent and Den must borrow $80,000 to start the business, advertise its opening, and keep it running for its first six months.
