Determining Start$-$Up Capital

$($i

Begin by filling in the figures for the various types of expenses in the cash flow fable on the following page.

Start your first month in the table that follows with starting cash of $$0,$ and consolidate your "cash out" expenses from your cash flow fable under the

three main headings of rent, payroll and other $($including the amount of unpaid start$-$up costs in "other" in month $1].$

Confinue the monthly projections in the fable that follows unfil the ending balances are consistently positive.

Find the largest negative balance$-$this is the amount needed for start$-$up capital in order for the business to survive until the break$-$even point when all

expenses will be covered by income.

Confinue by inserting the amount of needed start$-$up capital into the cash flow table as the starting cash for Month $1.$
