We offer to wave all the financial requirements, including a start-up license fee of $550,000, 10-year license to use our brand name and a $35,000 line of credit at 12% (use 1% per month) to cover starting costs and any additional expenses. Carols business would pay back the line of credit and interest over time once the business starts making a profit. Carols jaw dropped she cannot believe what has happened. Michael continued to offer: And thats not all! To make your start easier, we are not giving you a new location; instead, we are giving you an existing location. The location will be this one Crowfoot Crossings. You can start tomorrow to learn the procedures, details in our head office, and the location will be yours starting May 1st two weeks from this Friday after ownership transfer documents are properly completed. Sarah stepped in and said that Michael was so excited about this they he did not wait for your reply. So, what is it? Carol said of course Yes, I cant hardly wait to tell my parents. During the two weeks at Head Office the following details about the transfer were covered,
1) The Point of Sales terminals (POS) will be used and connected to the Head Office computer system recording all sales, credit card processing, employee payroll, inventory tracking and replenishment.

These salaries will be paid on May 15th, the date of the employees regular pay period. This system will also handle employee expense account payments and deductions. The second payroll for the employees working for Carol will be on May 29th for working hours from May 9th to May 22.
4) The KickButt Coffee Shoppes automatic inventory replenishment system is amazing. It forecasts inventory requirements based on stores past and current sales and knows what has been used (it also calculates the Cost of Goods Sold) and will predict the number of stir sticks to be used in the next 5 days. Carol will have to do a physical inventory at the end of every month. The system will automatically order the required coffee supplies based on its estimates and the store will be invoiced when items are received, payable in 10 days after the receipt of the invoice. The inventory is tracked in three categories: coffee products, dairy products and supplies (including cups, lids, stir sticks), which make it easy to control and account for.
