Financial Comments (include any Financing information that may be useful): | The Café is incorporated with one sole director and has carried itself with no capital injection since 2017. All profits have been reinvested in the business. We maintain minimal inventory and our cash flow is strong, with $0 debt. Net Profit has hovered around 0-2% since 2020. The owner is now mostly absentee - increased profitability requires full-time owner engagement. |
