Problem 5 - Dave's Healthy Restaurant has approached your firm for a $400,000 investment to fund the expansion of their very successful restaurant concept. The funds will be used to add two more restaurants. Dave's has pioneered healthy foods dining in their area and is the only firm offering such fare. The restaurant area is suburban and somewhat isolated, with only 12 other restaurants in the general area.
Because of the nature of the area, there are very few foods suppliers available for servicing the restaurants. This is especially more critical for Dave's, which relies on a narrower, healthy food product line. However, they have a distributor / supplier that is well known for their quality and reliability.
What issues are necessary to evaluate before making the investment; what is your assessment of the situation; and would you recommend the investment?
