Task 3
Read the case study below and then complete the activity that follows.
Josef and Miriam run a small profitable business making high-quality ice cream on their farm in the
Yorkshire Dales. Their ice cream is currently sold in several farm shops and village stores in the local
area. Josef and Miriam have recently stopped supplying to one chain of stores as they have £2,000
worth of unpaid invoices. They have decided to set up a separate division of the business to sell ice
cream from carts in parks and at outdoor events. They have invested £15,000 of their own savings to
set up a website advertising their products and services, and have also bought a trailer and two carts.
However, before they can start operating they still have to:
1. convert an existing barn into extra storage space
2. acquire a van
3. install additional industrial freezers
4. recruit a manager
5. buy additional equipment
6. increase the stock of raw materials.
For each of the six activities listed previously, use the table below to recommend and justify a suitable source of
