KARAOKE BAR BUSINESS CASE STUDY
The Problem
Mr. Chua in his plan for expansion by putting up a branch of his grocery near Cubao, has decided to take
the third option: incorporating under the business name, “Chua Groceries, Inc.” He figures that he needs a
subscribed and paid-up capital of ₱100 million to be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). He has only ₱50 million cash in the bank. He invited two close friends to chip in the balance of ₱50
million to make up for the balance. Mr. Chua wants to be elected as president and his wife as treasurer of the
company. His two friends would be elected vice-president and corporate secretary, respectively.
While Mr. Chua, his wife and son, the manager of the planned branch of the grocery store, would control
the day-to-day operations of the company, he does not feel comfortable with the 50-50 sharing of the capital.
What if relations with his two friends turn sour in the future? Aggressive and ambitious that Mr. Chua is, what
worries him is if he further expands the grocery business in the future and the two friends do not agree, there
would be a deadlock in the voting. His two friends could be a bar to his future expansion plans. Mr. Chua
decided to go on a 51-49 percent sharing in the stockholdings of the planned company. 51 percent is to be
owned and controlled by him. He needs therefore ₱2 million more for his paid-up capital to assure control of the
company. His problem is, where would he get that much money fast? Which sources of funds could Mr. Chua
avail of on credit?
Goal Setting
With the investment this big, Mr. Chua must have already done his research on the success rate on the
expansion of his grocery business. Since he already has an existing similar business, it is necessary for him to
comply in the required obligation imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Now that he already
has a concrete plan to have a partnership with his two friends but still wanted to have a much bigger shares to
company, he can always lend funds to local banks to help him with the investment needed.

Once Mr. Chua got the agreement to have a share of 51% with his partners friends. He ca now proceed
and apply for a business loan in any local bank of his choice. Since he already has an existing business, he
must already have a good credit history, cash flow history and projections for the business, collateral available to
secure the loan and many pieces of loan documentation that includes business and personal financial
statements, income tax returns, a business plan and that essentially sums up and provides evidence for the first
Now that Mr. Chua acquired the funds he needed; he will also now make sure to pay-up the funds
Sustaining Growth
Since he already has a successful first branch, it should be much easier for him to sustain the growth of
the second one as he already has enough knowledge and experience on handling such business and would
never risk a huge sum of funds if he is not confident enough that it would succeed.
