Topic 1 DQ 1 ENT-420
A new venture and an existing company differ significantly in their ability to obtain bank funding
due to several key factors.
1.
Existing companies typically have a track record of financial performance and a
demonstrated ability to generate revenue and profits. Many banks require a company to
be in operation for a minimum of 2-3 years before they can begin to qualify for a loan
(Crawford, 2022). New ventures lack this track record, making them riskier in the eyes of
lenders.
2.
Established companies often possess tangible assets like real estate, equipment, or
inventory that can serve as collateral for loans. Banks prefer to have tangible assets as
security in case of default. New ventures often don’t have such assets, which can hinder
their ability to secure loans.
3.
Banks often require detailed business plans and financial projections to assess the
viability of a loan. Established companies can provide more reliable data and forecasts
based on their historical performance, making it easier to convince banks of their
repayment capacity (Crawford, 2022). New ventures may struggle to provide such
extensive projections.
Banks prioritize minimizing risk, and established firms provide more concrete evidence of their
financial stability and ability to repay loans, where new ventures typically cannot do so which
hinders their ability to obtain bank funding.

Question 2
Ross Enterprises has a contract with Big Steel Company Limited in respect of Information Technology (IT) Services. The contract was signed on January 1st 2020 and will be effected on the 1st April 2020.
In mid-February 2020 Big Steel’s sales plummeted due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
