You have been working as an assistant manager in Mimi and Jasmine's (M&J) warehouse. M&J is an innovative cosmetics company that was started several years ago by two women. Because fulfilling small orders is not what you envision for your career, you have begun to study business. You have recently learned that the owners of M&J are interested in selling the business. You are interested in buying the company, so based on the advice of a small business consultant at the local chamber of commerce, you decide to put together a business plan to secure a loan.
