The Financial Plan:What it can look like Michael W. Piczak February 2005
Your Story • A business started up (SUC) • It generated Sales (Sales Projections) • Those sales resulted in cashflow (Cashflow) • The cashflow gave rise to income (income statement) • Resultant profit went to retained earnings (balance sheet) • All my indicants point in the right direction and are comparable to industry averages (key ratios)
THE ONLY LOGICAL CONCLUSION? “Given that: • Start up costs are reasonable and defensible • Sales projections are conservative and attainable • Cashflow remains positive for the most part • Positive income is generated within the first few years • Retained earnings grow steadily with profits kept within the business and • Key ratios are generally at the same level as industry averages, I believe that this is a feasible business and should receive funding.”
Where to Locate Actual Statements • In the appendices properly labeled and referenced in the narrative • Less important statements come at the end (depreciation schedules, amortization schedules, etc.)
