Financial Requirements and Projections

Your financial planning and cost analysis is perhaps the most important element of your business plan as you will need to present it to the Lenders, investors and partners.

For Week $6$ assignment, after reading the material posted for this week and your research, please provide the following. Please see the example I have provided in the PowerPoint lecture notes of this week. Please use these as a guide and your knowledge of the managerial finance course:

Start$-$Up Cost Analyeis$-$ include a brief discussion of assumptions and projections made to support your cost analysis. Assumptions and projections may be based on your research, your work projects or experiential learning.

Financial Projection $-$ the $12-$month profit and loss projection is the centerpiece of your business plan. Describe your projected sales, cost of goods sold and gross profit. Then list your expenses, net profit before taxes, estimated taxes and net operating income $($use the example provided and several available online$)$

Use of capital $-$ If you are using the business plan to seek financing from lenders or investors, you must provide a breakdown of how you will use the capital and what results you expect. Please include references
