<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><u>Let’s examine a scenario….</u></p>
<p></p>
<p>The two friends, Maria and Eleni, former fellow Dietitians, who set up a nutrition consulting and nutrition education company, decided that after 2 successful years of operation they should try to expand.</p>
<p>In order to do this they will have to acquire new storage and sales space on the other side of town. Apart from the fact that they intend to enter the North Market of the city (now they are only in the South) it will also suit Eleni who intends to move close to this area.</p>
<p>They have located the store they want to rent which has the necessary storage space built-in. The Owner of the space requests as "Guarantee" the amount of 3-month rent in advance, and thus a respectable amount is collected that is required for the new space.</p>
<p>As they do not want to waste their reserve and want to decorate the new store to the same standards as the original, the total start-up cost and operation for the first 3 months will amount to a cost of € 9,000.</p>
<p><strong>So they decided to go to a Bank Branch to look for financing options.</strong></p>
