Study Notes

Case Study Overview

Lindiwe and Jabu are long-time friends, facing personal and professional turning points.
Jabu, in financial distress due to unexpected university expenses, receives a loan of R 10,000 from Lindiwe to cover rent.
Startup vision: Opening "Bake'd Bliss," a trendy bakery in Bloemfontein, focusing initially on traditional baked goods with plans to introduce cannabis products later.

Business Development

Lindiwe inherited R 2 million, providing initial capital for the bakery.
The decision to open a traditional bakery first is due to uncertainty around cannabis use and licensing in South Africa.
Bake'd Bliss opened on July 20, 2024, featuring various baking-related products and equipment.

Community Engagement

Lindiwe and Jabu commit to donating baked goods to a local children's shelter, reflecting their values of giving back.
Their involvement in community support may change once cannabis products are introduced.

Personal Financial Milestones

Lindiwe aims to buy a property in Pentagon Park but faces legal challenges due to a current resident claiming rights to the property.
Jabu seeks vacant land for future cannabis cultivation but receives warnings about potential expropriation.

Financial Choices and Investments

Jabu purchases an Omoda C5 GT car, celebrating financial success.
Lindiwe opts for a more cautious financial route by leasing and later purchasing a second-hand VW Polo.
Lindiwe explores sheep farming investments, inspired by local success stories, purchasing a female Merino sheep for R 3,500.

Legal Considerations in Property Law

Property includes both movable and immovable assets, with two acquisition types: original and derivative.
Original acquisition includes occupatio (gaining control over unowned property) and accessio (combining corporeal things).
Expropriation allows government to claim property for public use without owner consent, compensated for loss.

Business Entity Structures

Understanding the types of business enterprises: sole proprietorships, partnerships, close corporations, and companies.
Sole proprietorship: simplest structure, single owner fully liable for debts; business terminates upon owner’s death or insolvency.
Partnerships: agreements between two or more contributors; assets belong to the partnership, profit distribution can vary by agreement.

Partnership Legalities

No maximum on the number of partners, though large partnerships may face complications.
Partners do not have to contribute equally or share profits equally; agreements can determine profit-sharing proportions.
Both natural and juristic persons possess legal personality, recognized in partnerships.
