Abstract
Two entrepreneurial students want to launch their new business called College Home Safety Inc College Home Safety consists of high school and university students selling carbon dioxide detectors door-to-door. The two entrepreneurs felt strongly about this new business as it would provide jobs for students and address a safety concern that had been increasing in the past few years. The advice they received from a professional accountant was not what they expected. Told they would lose their shirts and to reconsider their concept and start-up plan, they only had a few months left before the launch date to decide whether or not to proceed with the venture.
