assignment business 2

Kelly and Karla were roommates at Lynn University and graduated last May. While on a post-graduation celebration trip to Costa Rica, the two women began exploring the idea of opening a restaurant on South Beach in Miami, Florida. Neither has any previous experience in starting or operating a restaurant, but both have extensive connections in the Miami-Dade area because of the many friends they made while attending Lynn. They intend to attract health-minded, college-age students to their new restaurant, The SoBe Health Hut. Kelly and Karla agree that each will invest equally in terms of time and money. However, in addition to these equal contributions, another $100,000 is essential for the restaurant to succeed.
