In return for their investment, Lily issued common stock to them. Lily's friend, Frank also loaned Lily $2000 for her business.
Lily rented space for her flower shop, purchased supplies and inventory, and hired two staff people ( one to work the counter and the other to make deliveries. Although hers was primarily a cash and national credit card business, Lily did bin select commercial customers monthly for large flower and landscaping orders.
