Question:

After purchasing the five venues in June 2012, Front Row Entertainment needed additional cash to renovate and operate these venues. While the company had successfully borrowed money before (from bank loans as well as from the issuance of bonds), it could not find a lender willing to invest in the business due to the large amount of debt that the company currently has on its debt financing out of the question, Front Row Entertainment considers its other options. The name of an old college friend, Steve Trotter, immediately came to Cam and Anna’s mind. Steve had previous work experience in the retail industry and had expressed a desire to manage Front Row Entertainment’s current merchandising operations (the sale of DVDs). His vision was to expand the operations to include apparel (t-shirts, hats, etc.) and other items (such as bobble-head dolls of the artists). In addition, several other family members had expressed an interest in investing in the company.
