Case study part A


Just like you, Dave always wanted to operate his own business but he witnessed some of
his builder friends “go broke” and realized that he has to thoroughly educate himself on
the various and real risks involved in operating his own domestic building business.
As humans, we are eternal optimists and we can only envisage good things happening
when we open up our business. While optimism is an essential component of business
success, harsh reality and statistics prove that failure in small business is endemic and the
consequence of failure often leads to broken relationships, bankruptcy and the loss of
confidence. Starting again with a bad credit rating can be extremely difficult so it is vitally
important that Dave and Melinda think long and hard about going into business and seek
the advice of experienced and well-worn business people before taking the plunge.
As Dave is finds out, going into business for yourself isn’t easy at the best of times and is
not recommended for the faint hearted. As a consequence of owning and operating his
own building business, Dave is exposing himself and his family to risk. As part of a sound
and considered approach, Dave should be aware of what his risks specifically are and
then how best to mitigate these risks. The imminent risks that Dave will encounter as an
owner of a building renovation company should be understood before establishing himself
as a self-employed.

1. At the initial stage, whom do you think Dave should take recommendation and
advice and on what? Explain in details

2. What happens if Dave chooses the wrong legal structure? What are the different
variables that the legal structures in operating a business depends on?

3. Dave has decided to go to a consultant to take advice. What are the key things that
you think, Dave should discuss with the consultant at the initial stage?

Case study part B


Statement 3: Harry Commins is a builder who has asked Dave to start building the frame
for a two unit project he is building in Summerhays, a holiday destination where he owns
the block. Dave diligently undertakes the work, finishing the project in 14 days and sends
Harry an invoice for $16,879 including GST, requesting payment in seven days.
After 28 days, Dave rings, concerned that the payment is taking so long. When he
eventually gets on to Harry, he refuses to pay, saying there was nothing in writing so is not
obliged to pay.

4. Please advise Dave as to what actions he should take to attempt to get paid

Case study part C


Acquiring the necessary finance to get a small business off the ground is a major issue for
any potential small business.
Establishing a source of on-going finance is also the lifeblood of a small business.
These questions should be already covered in Activity 2A:
 As such, Dave will need to calculate his business establishment (start-up) costs
and working capital required to operate his business.
 Dave will also need to outline his plan for finance sourcing. What credit products
will Dave use, if any? What documents will he need to support his application for
finance? Dave will need to prepare the documents he will require to apply for
finance.

Task
Below is the given table, where the first column are the list of different sources from where
Dave can acquire finance. Next to each sources, conduct a thorough research and explain
how these sources would benefit Dave.
Acquiring finance
Start-up and ongoing o It's essential for Dave to have an accurate idea of
financial requirements his financial needs. Once he has calculated the
amount he'll need to cover his initial start-up costs,
he'll also need to factor in his on-going running
expenses.
o Dave should also remember that customers may
not pay him immediately - but he will still need to
pay all his bills to keep trading.
o It's sensible to have sufficient capital to cover
projected expenses for at least six months.
o At the same time, Dave will need to make sure
that he has taken into account how much money
he will need to live on.
o Dave has to be mindful that in the early stages, a
new small business is unlikely to produce spare
cash that he can spend on himself.
Sources of finance, e.g. o Dave may need to finance his starting inventory /
Backers stock of materials with bank debt or equity. It may
be an idea for Dave, as a means of preserving
cash, that he opens trading accounts with key
suppliers with as long terms as possible.
o Bank Term Loan: A bank term loan is usually used
for financing the capital assets of the business. It
can sometimes be used to finance part of a
business start-up or business acquisition. The loan
is repaid over a period of time and the interest rate
may be fixed or floating.
o Bank Line of Credit: This is similar to an overdraft
for a business. It is important to use the line of
credit to finance current assets and the term loan
to finance capital assets. One sure way for Dave
to have a cash flow crunch is to have used all his
cash and line of credit to purchase pieces of
equipment, only to run out of cash due to a late
paying customer. It is not usual to finance a

Frontier Training and Technology Pty


Version: 1.0 Page 18 of 31
Ltd Assessment Booklet BSBSMB406
Responsibility: Curriculum Manager Created: Last Reviewed:
Assessment Booklet: BSBSMB406

business start-up with a line of credit. It is,


however, acceptable to finance short-term cash
deficits using your line of credit.
o Shareholders Loans: This can only happen in a
limited company. You, as a shareholder, lend
money to the corporation. This is an alternative
method of investing in the company. Seek
professional advice before deciding if using a
shareholder loan is the best strategy for your
business start-up.
o Investment: This is the equity investment you put
into your own company.
o Backers: while venture capital may be overflowing
for some IT start-ups, the real scenario for small
businesses like Dave’s (and worse, home-based
businesses) is far different. Capital is hard to
come-by, especially if: (a) you do not have a good
business idea or business plan that will make rich
backers run to you in the hope of multiplying their
savings exponentially; and (b) you may have a
good business idea, but you do not know anyone
who matters. The problem is that most beginning
"business builders” like Dave don’t know what to
believe or which way to turn for help.
Cost of securing finance o There are various sources of finance, each with
their own costs.
o It is important for Dave to carefully evaluate his
specific requirements and then to determine which
sources of finance are best suited to his business
needs.
o Typical sources of finance include:

o Personal savings.
o Credit cards.
o Friends and relatives.
o Angel Investors.
o Leases.
o Bank Loans.
o Each has varying and ‘fluid’ movement of costs.

o Overdrafts and lines of credit - flexible and


useful for managing cash flow. Large overdrafts
and lines of credit are usually short-term,
expensive to service and will be guaranteed by
your home or a charge over the business and
its assets. Some banks provide established
businesses with smaller lines of credit without
requiring specific security commercial bills used
for funding immediate inventory or stock needs.
They provide a fixed sum advance, usually
amounts over $100,000, repayable or rolled
over between 7 and 180 days. Generally less
expensive to service than an overdraft,
commercial bills none-the-less require similar
guarantees

Frontier Training and Technology Pty


Version: 1.0 Page 19 of 31
Ltd Assessment Booklet BSBSMB406
Responsibility: Curriculum Manager Created: Last Reviewed:
Assessment Booklet: BSBSMB406

o Leasing, hire-purchase (HP) and other asset-


based finance products are used to fund
business assets such as motor vehicles,
machinery or equipment. They are available
from various financial institutions. Security
requirements, terms and interest rates will vary
too.
o Factoring is when the business 'sells' its income
or debtors. The decision to enter a factoring
arrangement should be made carefully.
Factoring ensures proceeds are available to a
business as soon as a legitimate sale is made.
Funds from factoring are injected into the
working capital of the business, improving cash
flow.

Strategies to obtain On-going funding


finance as required o This is the average amount of an overdraft or line
of credit that is used at any one time. E.g. Dave
may wish to have an overdraft limit of $20,000 to
provide money for the occasional big expense, but
usually he won't use more than $5000 of that credit
limit on average. So in this case $5,000 is the level
of on-going funding Dave needs.
When applying for an overdraft limit, things to watch out for
are:
o Higher the overdraft amount higher the fees.
o Clauses where the lender can demand repayment
of the whole loan at any time.
