Abstract

Grant Lewis, a Chartered Accountant (CA) and senior manager at a ''Big Six'' professional services firm, was investigating the feasibility of establishing a CA firm with two former colleagues. Mr Lewis recognized the need for external financing during the start-up phase of the business. In preparation for a meeting with his bank manager, Mr Lewis has been asked to prepare a projected monthly cash flow statement as well as a balance sheet and income statement for the first year of operations. The primary objective of the case is to get students to develop these financial statements and appreciate the links and differences between a cash flow and an income statement. The case also allows students to examine the bank lending process, discuss the merits and drawbacks of starting a small business, and become familiar with some of the basic components and sources of relevant market information for a new venture.
