QUESTION 1

Every entrepreneur has certain expectations and goals when choosing a
business.

1.1What is a close corporation in business? Give one examples. (5)

A close corporation, also known as a closely held corporation, is a type of
business organization that is owned and operated by a small group of
individuals, typically family members or a few close associates. This type of
corporation typically has a limited number of shareholders and is not publicly
traded on the stock market.

Example:
One example of a close corporation is the multinational food and beverage
company Mars, Incorporated, which is a privately held family-owned
business.

1.2 You are a Grade 7 teacher leading a discussion on the different kinds of
franchising.

1.2.1 What are the issues to consider when discussing about capital
requirement for a franchise (10).

When discussing the capital requirements for a franchise, it is important to
consider a few key issues:

1. Initial Franchise Fee: This is the upfront cost to purchase the rights to
operate a franchise. It is important to consider whether the initial franchise
fee is affordable and whether it provides value for the investment.

, 2. Ongoing Royalty Fees: Franchisees are often required to pay ongoing
royalty fees to the franchisor. These fees can vary and may be based on a
percentage of sales or a flat fee. It is important to understand the financial
impact of these ongoing fees on the franchise's profitability.

3. Start-Up Costs: In addition to the initial franchise fee, franchisees will need
to consider other start-up costs such as real estate, equipment, inventory,
and marketing. It is important to have a clear understanding of all the start-
up costs involved in opening a franchise.

4. Financing Options: Franchisees may need to secure financing to cover the
capital requirements of opening a franchise. It is important to explore
different financing options and understand the implications of taking on debt
to finance a franchise.

5. Return on Investment: Franchisees should carefully consider the potential
return on investment for a franchise opportunity. This involves analysing the
projected revenue and expenses to determine whether the franchise is a
financially viable opportunity.

6. Franchisor Support: Franchisees should also consider the level of support
provided by the franchisor, including training, marketing support, and on-
going guidance. This support can significantly impact the franchisee's ability
to meet the capital requirements and succeed in operating the franchise.
