Due to major works (mainly additions) at Dandenong (not at BS's caf) during 2016-17, BS's caf suffered an economic downturn for the year (like other shops in the centre). In response to the economic downturn, on 12 July 2017, Baker's brother (Brown) lent BS $130,000 to help BS "get back on track". The loan was an interest-only loan at 7% with interest paid monthly. The 7% interest rate was slightly above a market rate of interest, mainly because BS needed the funds quickly and Brown insisted on that rate. Interest paid to Brown for the 2018-19 year was $12,500. BS used the borrowed money to meet ongoing expenses (including its rent to Dandenong).
