The Mentor’s Loan Obligation
Last checked: · 049-Rev3-L (reference-reported)
Direct answer
The Mentor’s support is a loan, not free ownership of the store. The introductory records set a weekly repayment beginning the following week, while the Landlord separately collects rent for the premises.
Budget both relationships
The source names 200 Credits per week for the Mentor and initial rent of 300 Credits. Those figures identify different obligations; the rent later rises. A budget that reserves only the starting rent misses the Mentor payment, and owning useful stock is not the same as holding cash when collection comes.
| Mentor collection | 200 Credits weekly, beginning the following week |
|---|---|
| Separate initial rent | 300 Credits weekly |
| Practical distinction | Loan repayment is not rent |
What the financing story does not promise
The Mentor arranged the opportunity to open the shop and warns against shark loans. The reference does not establish a dialogue trick for canceling his debt. Rock Bottom also keeps a lease despite its bare inventory start, so removing starting equipment does not remove the underlying financing context.
