Abstract

A small chain of retail stores selling outdoors equipment, Blue Ridge Bike and Hike (Blue Ridge) was expanding rapidly. The finance manager had to develop a financial plan for accommodating this growth and the investment it required. Clearly, the business was growing faster than could be financed from internal sources - it had been increasing a long-term loan and had just ended the year with a higher-than-usual balance on its bank line of credit.
