ROTAIRO, CARLA JANE. Financing of Coffee Shops in Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Business Management, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2014. Adviser: Mr. Gener T. Cueno. The study was conducted primarily to determine the financing of coffee shops in Cavite. Specifically, the study aimed to: determine the socio-demographic characteristics of coffee shop owners in Cavite; determine the business characteristics of coffee shops in Cavite; identify the initial fund and financing source of coffee shops; identify the financing operating expenditures of coffee shops; determine the relationship between business characteristics of coffee shops and its initial fund and financing source; determine the relationship between business characteristics of coffee shops and its operating expenditures; and identify the financing related problems encountered by the coffee shop owners. The study was conducted in several towns of Cavite, particularly: Amadeo, Bacoor City, Carmona, Cavite City, Dasmarifias City, Imus City, Indang, Kawit, Naic, Silang, Tagaytay City and Tanza. It was conducted from November 2013 to January 2014. The participants of the study were the coffee shop owners of Cavite which was determined through the use of purposive sampling technique. The results of the study show that the coffee shop owners in Cavite were typically young adults (33%), female (63%), married (67%), and college graduates (80%). Also, coffee shops were commonly located as stand alone (43%), occupied typical-sized space for coffee shops (63%), operated for more than one year but less than three years (53%), owned by a sole proprietor (80%), and had at least six total employees. Moreover, most of the coffee shop owners spent P200,000 to P500,000 for their initial funding of the shop and a monthly working capital of P30,000 to P70,000. Moreover, coffee shop owners obtained funds through equity financing, specifically personal savings. They also acquire more than one source of fund. Furthermore, the operating expenses of the coffee shops generally were kept low which implies cost savings initiatives of owners, except for the raw materials which may affect the quality of their product. The findings also present that there is no significant relationship between business characteristics of coffee shops and financing sources and initial fund. The same with the relationship between business characteristics of coffee shops and operating expenses, however, floor area and number of employees show a significant relationship with expenses on raw materials, retail supplies, salary, utility, and monthly expense.
