Prabhuji is a first-generation entrepreneur engaged in the bakery business. Prabhuji is the proprietor of B & Sons – a Mumbai based concern manufacturing bakery products, confectioneries and sweets. The products are manufactured and sold in wholesale to retailers under a brand name ‘‘Bread & More’’. Products were essentially sold to retailers who would then sell the final customer. Since the year 2020 – the next generation of Prabhuji’s family started participating in the business. The new generation is technologically aware and suggested direct sales to customers through omni channel (online sales). The bakery brand was only known locally. However, due to sales online and due to the good quality of the products – the bakery product’s started gaining traction nationally. Demand for the products increased. As a result, there was a need to increase manufacturing capacity. The new members in the business suggested borrowing or setting up a Special Purpose Vehicle for the new manufacturing unit. Private Equity players can then invest in the Special Purpose Vehicle. Prabhuji is a conservative businessman. While not being average to expansion – Prabhuji suggests minimizing the need for external finance while relying more on internal accruals.

Jimsha is a financial expert and consultant and is a school friend of Prabhuji. One of the key questions was on improvement in cash flows. Jimsha made a suggestion regarding study of working capital management. A number of firms ignore funds blocked in working capital. Prabhuji was also concerned about the return on funds invested in business as capital. Jimsha advised Prabhuji to use Du Pont Analysis to check whether funds are used efficiently.

Prabhuji mentions the increase in demand and possible need to increase capacity. There are various options available to meet the demand.

l Outsource the production to third party.

l Expand the production capacity by incurring certain capital expenditure.

There are concerns around manufacturing quality if production is outsourced. The cost of the additional capacity is likely to be substantial. A capex of ₹ 5,00,000 financed 80% by debt raiseed at 10% and remaining through new equity is required. Financial projections are given below :
