Entrepreneurship: Restaurant Financing Option

Please read the attached Case on different financing options available to Restaurant owner. Write a memo that is no longer than 2 pages (single spaced)
which outlines your advice to the owner. The memo should include decision on which of the potential
investors the owner should enter into business with. The investors are mutually exclusive
– you cannot mix the investors therefore you must choose only one of the potential
investors. He would like you to help him to structure the business (i.e. what
business entity should he use).

In advising the owner, you need to figure out what you
perceive are the real interests that each investor (or group of investors) has in
getting involved with the business. You also must provide the owner with the rationale
for structuring the business in the manner you have chosen and how the structure
will address the investor’s interests and his interests. You also need to address
how you will ensure that Owners’s interests are going to be protected in the business.

Attach any documents that you feel are relevant for Cliff to understand your
recommendations
