Hi there! I'm a Graduate of a University in Dundee, Scotland, having received my BA Hons. As such, I've spent the majority of the past five years doing nothing but study and live on the breadline. I've recently (three months ago) got a job with a local games company and I am moving to Dundee permanently with my fiance soon. But a very lucrative business opportunity has arisen. A friend who owns a relatively successful online business dealing in retail of high grade fashion goods is moving to Dubai for his 'day job' and is selling his website, franchise, and all stock. He says if I was interested I can buy it for £5,000. Looking over all his books, he has thus far never made a NET profit of less than £3,500 per calendar month. Trouble is I've never had cards, personal loans, anything, and as such my credit rating is incredibly poor. It's sitting at the 250 mark on Experian Credit Expert. As I will soon be spending my entire wage on living costs, I have no means of gathering the capital for this business although I'm certain this would end up working out in my favour (and I would be much better off financially.) I have only a month before my friend moves away and is forced to sell for the full asking price elsewhere. I've been turned down for a personal loan with my own bank, and even Welcome Finance, who I was assured took ANYONE. Can anyone help me? Desperation has set in. Unfortunately that's not an option. He's selling his three businesses and would need a lump sum of money for his integration into his new life overseas. But good suggestion, cheers.

Ralph Emerson thought he'd been a librarian long enough, and when the opportunity to open a small tobacco, pipe, and cigar shop in the newly renovated downtown business district arose, he was ready to act. Pipe Dreams is a franchisor of smoke shops, and was founded eight years ago by a noted tobacconist in New York City. The concept for the shops is simple, yet sophisticated. It is simple in the sense that the shops sell only tobacco-related products, but sophisticated in the breadth and quality of the inventory they carry. Each franchise, depending on size, is stocked with inventory selected by the company's founder. The franchisor finances the shop's initial inventory. The franchisee is expected to create a decor within predetermined standards that Pipe Dreams establishes. Each franchisee must attend a three-day workshop, outlining the fundamentals of tobacco blending, the merchandising of pipes and cigars, and the techniques of successful business operation. The franchise contract requires the franchisee to contribute 1.5% of gross revenue to a national advertising campaign. According to the contract, Pipe Dreams will finance the required fixtures for the store for ten years. Also, the franchisor supplies all inventory at very favorable prices because it purchases in large quantities. Ralph knows he can buy tobacco products from a variety of wholesalers. He also has some ideas on what would make a tobacco shop successful in this town. Ralph knows that Pipe Dreams franchisees have had a high success rate in the past. Help Ralph make a decision by outlining the advantages and disadvantages of a franchise agreement. Assuming that Ralph has adequate capital, would you recommend that he invest in the franchise or open his own tobacco shop? Why?
