Question

Cakes by Dominic

Dominic has been helping his grandmother run a small-scale business
from her home making celebration cakes for special occasions such as
birthdays and weddings. She helped him develop his cake-making skills
which he further improved by completing a catering course at a local
college.
His grandmother wants to retire and let Dominic take over the business
as Dominic has always wanted to become an entrepreneur. He is very
passionate about what he does and is grateful to her as there are very few
job opportunities in the area. He has recently inherited a large sum of money from another relative
and wants to expand the business by setting up a small cake shop in his local town centre which
is busy with local trade. Apart from a small local bakery, there is no other competition in the area
that specialises in celebration cakes. Dominic is very optimistic about the future success of the
business and hopes that his initial investment will give a good return.

Outline two motives Dominic might have for wanting to become an entrepreneur.

Answer 1

One motive that Dominic might have was that he has always wanted to become an entrepreneur and his grandmother wants him to take over the shop for her since his cake-making skills had very much improved since he started. And another motive Dominic had was that there was not a lot of jobs open for him in the area, so he was glad to help.
