Abstract: MASICAP, MYZEL MAE M. and MASICAP, PAULYN G. Capital Financing and Profitability of Small-scale Grocery Stores in Selected Municipalities of Cavite.Undergraduate Thesis.Bachelor of Science in Business Management.Cavite State University. April 2015. Adviser: Prof. Cecilia T. Cayao. The study was conducted from November to December 2014 to determine the capital financing and profitability of small-scale grocery stores in selected municipalities of Cavite. Specifically, the study aimed to:identify the business profile of the different grocery stores in Cavite; identify the factors considered by the participants in financing their capital; determine the different sources of capital available for grocery stores; determine the profitability of small-scale grocery stores; find out the relationship between business profile and capital financing of small-scale grocery stores; know the relationship between business profile and profitability of grocery stores; and determine the relationship between capital financing and profitability for grocery stores. Descriptive and correlational designs were used as research design and simple random technique was used as sampling technique in the study. A total of 105 participants were interviewed using an interview guide composed of four parts, namely: business profile; capital financing; financial information; and factors affecting capital financing. Mean, frequency, range, percentage, and financial ratios were used to analyze the data. Pearson correlation coefficient and Spearman rank correlation coefficient were used as statistical treatment in the study. Based on the results, small-scale grocery stores were solely owned by an individual; 47 percent of grocery stores had been in operation for less than five years; 48 percent of small-scale grocery stores had no workers; 70 percent of the participants had declared that their capital financing was solely from personal savings. Results also showedthat the overall mean rating of all the four factors indicate a very little influence on the financing decisions of the small-scale grocery store owners.The small-scale grocery stores in selected municipalities of Cavite had a net profit margin, operating profit margin, and gross profit margin of 13%, 14%, and 20%, respectively. Both the initial capital and number of workers had a significant association with the capital financing of small-scale grocery stores. Years of operation had a significant relationship with the level of net profit margin while initial capital had a significant relationship with the operating profit margin of small-scale grocery stores. There was also a significant relationship between capital financing and profitability of grocery stores.
