Resilience Assessment:

Strong With Preparation

Alpine Coffee demonstrates strong expansion readiness with 18.5% revenue growth, 4.8★ brand reputation (180 Google reviews), and differentiated direct trade sourcing (26% margin vs. 18% standard). Louisville, CO presents ideal second location: 21K population, 12min from Boulder, zero specialty roaster competition. Capital requirement: $175K ($50K from peak season profits + $125K term loan). Timeline: 6 months preparation remaining for Q4 2025 opening.

Expansion Readiness Score

72/100

Status: Ready With Conditions
Timeline: 6-9 months with financial strengthening

Capital Requirements:

Total Required: $350,000
Mix of retained earnings ($150K) and term loan ($200K) recommended. Current cash flow supports $3,500/month debt service.

Goal-Specific Risks:

Seasonal Cash Flow: 35% winter revenue decline vs. summer. Impact: Timing critical. Mitigation: Build $50K reserve Q3-Q4, secure term loan before winter, launch Louisville in Q2 for Q4 opening (peak season).
Capital Requirement: $175K needed for second location. Impact: Underfunding delays timeline. Mitigation: $50K from profits + $125K term loan. Current FCF ($18K/month) supports debt service.
Multi-Location Operations: First expansion tests systems/training. Impact: Quality inconsistency risks brand. Mitigation: Document processes now, hire experienced Louisville manager, maintain Boulder quality control.

Resilience Gaps to Address:

Operations not yet standardized for multi-location replication - need documented processes for roasting, training, inventory
Expansion capital planning requires $50K reserve + $125K loan approval (6 months remaining to secure)
Wholesale accounts at 8 - need 15 before expansion to ensure revenue stability across two locations

Recommended Actions:

Build $50K expansion reserve during Q3-Q4 peak season (tourist months) - current target: 60% progress
Secure $125K term loan approval by December 2024 before winter slowdown - start bank discussions now
Grow wholesale accounts from 8 to 15 by Q2 2025 - focus on Front Range corporate tech campuses

💡 Top Recommendations

Grow B2B Wholesale to 15 Accounts

Current: 8 wholesale accounts (25% revenue). Target: 15 accounts by Q2 2025 to stabilize revenue before Louisville expansion. Focus on Front Range corporate tech campuses.

Launch Subscription Coffee Service

Create monthly subscription boxes for wholesale clients and online customers. Target 10% recurring revenue stream ($4-5K monthly) to smooth seasonal fluctuations.

Build $50K Expansion Reserve

Save Q3-Q4 peak season profits (tourist months) toward Louisville location capital. Secure $125K term loan by Dec 2024. Total need: $175K for second location.
