Abstract
Cookie Creations developed as a successful small business and is the basis of a case study for
issues that small business owners address in the life of a company. The Cookie Creations’ Case
Study examines a number of business situations that Cookie Creations’ owner Natalie Koebel
faced during critical points in the development of the business. This case study is a review of the
formation of the business from initial concept to implementation and operation of the business.
Cookie Creations’ business life includes phases where the owner entered into distribution
partnerships then expanded into new business lines by including equipment sales. As the
business developed, Cookie Creations faced the need to develop internal business financial
controls. Finally, Cookie Creations’ case study provides a review of a maturing business that
must consider the implementation of credit services by either extending credit or accepting credit
card payments.By following the business life of Cookie Creations, the researcher expects to
present a case study reviewing the decisions of Cookie Creation’s owner.
