We write to request a small business loan to start our own coffee shop business. Our coffee shop
will be called “Cup C”. We’ve been creating and experimenting different kinds of coffee blends
with high quality ingredients to reach the maximum satisfaction of our future customers. This
coffee shop will be serving high quality products and service at a reasonable price. It is our aim
to open our coffee shop at Rawis, Legazpi City near the University of Santo Tomas - Legazpi. There
is no coffee shop in the area and our research shows that putting up a coffee shop here would
be a success.
Please review the attached business plan. As you will see, it will show you how the money will be
spent and how Cup C will easily pay back the loan.
