Very interesting. Total Energies in Uganda once had a similar model for operating their gas stations. They called it the "young dealer program". A young person with experience working on a gas station, would be given a gas station that is full stocked with gas, engines oils etc. The initial stock was a zero interest loan to the young dealer. The loan would be discounted from the operating profit of the gas station over several years.
