SOLID AGRICULTURAL COMPANY
SOLID AGRICULTURAL COMPANY
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Solid agricultural company is a family owned company that has been in existence since 1960. It operates piggery farms in Antipolo, Rizal and Meycauayan, Bulacan. It has grown conservatively due to limited family resources. The family has not resorted to, using borrowed funds. The company was previously primarily managed by Mr. Henry Koh. But in the recent years, his son Mr. Manuel Koh helped in the management of the company. Mr. Manuel Koh saw an opportunity for expansion. The expansion is projected to increase revenue and decrease the cost of sales. This however requires substantial amount of capital that cannot be provided by the company alone. Additional resources are necessary. Mr. Bince and Mr. Antonio are interested in giving financial investment to the company to finance expansion in exchange for a management position. Mr. Bince, a CPA, would ask to be involved with accounting and the custody funds. Mr. Antonio will want to take on the marketing function.
