The Purchase of Toyama: Project - Prime Academic Study

Introduction

In this project, the purchase of TOYAMA – a Japanese restaurant, will require $50000 loan. The loan shall acquire the restaurant at a cost of $40,000, and the remaining $10,000 is for maintenance and recurrent expenditure. The passing on of the owner has opened an investment opportunity that will enable me to manage the business and particularly maintain current operations. This is a well established enterprise with a profit margin has been registering gradual growth over the past few years.

Repayment

Loan repayment will come from continuing net profits which will the long term financing strategy. Repayment of the seasonal credit line will come from liquidation of inventories and receivables.

Business Description

The business is a restaurant targeting Japanese cuisine. The current owner maintains an average of 100 customers per day. Most of the customers come to the restaurant repeatedly. The average sale of the dishes is $15 per customer which translates to $37,500 per month. Given the recent annual performance, I would expect the total revenues to increase from $450,000 to $500,000 or more by 2015. The sales price for this restaurant is $40,000.

Operational Product Information

The restaurant already has skilled staff that understand labor relations who when maintained will ensure continuity of the business.

Management

The current employees at TOYAMA restaurant maintain their same positions which will ensure that the quality standards of excellence in service retain current customers. Furthermore, I’m an insider, a Japanese and bachelor’s degree holder in accounting and finance. I have worked for Mr. Tanaka, the current owner of TOYAMA restaurant for a few years. I have enormous experience in this establishment. I am confident I can sustain its current success considering my academic background, ethnicity and restaurant service experience.

Marketing & Distribution

Going by feasibility studies conducted in the area, there is minimal competition. There is a ready market from current customers located two miles from a large U.S corporation. The employees from the corporation present a new market niche where they request for orders at lunch hour. The research shows advance delivery service for lunch orders will satisfy customers’ needs. The current owner is hesitant to take the risk. However, this will be an opportunity to double and optimize on current sales trends. Besides, through balancing between low cost products and advertising, it is possible to increase client base and overall sales. I have projected sales will increase by at least 5% each year. The rate could be higher..

Competition

Competition currently remains low with a vast untapped market potential. Other restaurants in the area concentrate on general cuisines.
