  4. Special Story PROJECT REPORT – AN X-RAY REPORT WITH PRESCRIBED MEDICINE FOR BUSINESS A project report is a complete outline for starting a new business. It discusses right from feasibility to the end of the business cycle. 4 www.Venture-Care.com/Magazine September 2017

  5. Special Story A project report shall be effec?ve only if it covers all the dimensions of the business; for example past experience, present status, problems and future prospects of the industry. It must give informa?on about the product to be manufactured and the reasons for selec?ng the product if the proposed business is a manufacturing unit. It must spell out the demand for the product in the local, na?onal and the global market. It should give informa?on on capital, opera?ons, methods of func?oning and execu?on of the business etc. The reader should have NO or Very less scope of raising ques?ons to the business promoters. Let us discuss in detail that the contents included in the project report are how important. Feasibility Study includes the following: 1. Product informa?on- whether the product chosen for manufacturing is already tested or it is altogether new product. 2. Life of the product- what is the average durability of the product. 3. Demand size- if similar products are already in the market then what is the market demand size of the product. 4. Industry trend- If the chosen product is already tested then es?ma?ng the future industry trend is easier. But in the case of the new product, the future industry trend can be based on observing the shi? in needs, purchasing habits or demographic shi? in the popula?on. 5. Business Model- It's very key components are Revenue Model and Ini?al target market. Revenue model should give a fair idea of “From Where sound and consistent revenue can be generated and How”. Ini?al target market says “Who are the customers, How their needs can be fulfilled”. Others are Packaging of product and service, Making assured the customers, Right distribu?on channel and other supports, Limited launch, Collec?ng feedback, Customer rela?on 6. Business Plan- (What for the future)- the Business plan is very essen?al from company's future point of view. It should be unbiased, dynamic, well communicated to the managers etc. 7. Important factors affec?ng the industry are- Chances of further new entrants, the intensity of compe??ons, availability of raw material as and when required, quality of distribu?on channel. 8. SWOT analysis (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat):- Strengths and weaknesses are considered from the company's angle and opportunity and threat are considered from industry's angle. The importance of SWOT analysis can be understood from the below table: 1 General/Organiza?onal informa?on- It is a kind of brief synopsis of the project report. It gives informa?on on the industry in which project/business belongs to. It is important because it gives first look idea to the user that whether the proposed project seems interes?ng. It also says that why a par?cular project has been chosen. The organiza?onal informa?on provides informa?on about internal to the organiza?on such as legal status, the loca?on of the plant, key decision makers, their names, age, addresses, qualifica?on, experience, skill set and informa?on on execu?on team. Purpose of the project report- 2 The general and very common purpose of preparing a project report is to present the investors or banks' funding. It should men?on clearly the exact purpose if any also. Project descrip?on- 3 It is a 2 important stage of project report. It is important because it does not only provide informa?on about the project but also analyze the project on “strength & weakness” parameters. Strengths of a project could be: 1. Strong decision-making team 2. Leadership ability 3. Visionary capability of management 4. Commi?ed team for execu?on 5. Sound business model and business plan, etc The absence of all these above can be a weakness of the project. nd Feasibility study- It is a study of the project from different angles. The inclusion of feasibility study in the project report is very much required. 4 5 www.Venture-Care.com/Magazine September 2017

  6. Industry's Optimum result Company's Opportunity Strengths Aggressive Strengths Threats Combination works as shield Weaknesses Opportunity No optimum result until weaknesses are converted into strengths Weaknesses Threat Very poor situation and company may have to leave the operation Limita?ons of this model · Expected future cash flows are prone to change due to various factors such as compe?tors' strategy, technological changes, brand dilu?on, change in management strategy etc. · How to fix up the discount rate? It is also subject to change over years. Also, there are many factors which affect the discount rate and these factors are unpredictable. Rela?ve valua?on model: This model is used to value a business in rela?on to similar business. Earnings and/or cash flows of the business undervalua?on is compared with those of the similar business and with the help of the given price of the similar business, a price of the business undervalua?on is es?mated. The limita?on is that: · Whether the similar business operates in the same products, markets · Whether the similar business uses the same technology · Whether the similar business is as old as this business · Whether price/value of the chosen similar business is unbiased etc. The last popular model is Earning Capitaliza?on model: Under this method, Equity earning is capitalized at a certain rate. This model assumes that the present earning shall remain fixed forever. Limita?ons: · This model does not consider growth in the business. The rate at which earning is capitalized is prone to change 9. Valua?on Finally, Valua?on is most important part of the project report. It includes: 1. Es?ma?on of project life 2. Sales Projec?ons 3. Es?ma?on of cost Opera?ng costs mainly include: · Raw material cost · Payment towards workers, watchman and supervisors and others · Electricity cost 1. Variance in sales and cost- it is important for the purpose of sensi?vity analysis. 2. Es?ma?on of Cost of capital of the business 3. Use of valua?on methods: it is important because the valua?on method chosen shall give op?mum valua?on result. Generally, there are three popular valua?on models: 1. Discounted Cash flow (DCF) model 2. Rela?ve valua?on model 3. Earning Capitaliza?on model DCF model. For raising equity or other finance from any other sources, values use this model. Valuer heavily relies upon the expected future cash flows as communicated by the management. But the values should reduce the future expected cash flows because the management may be biased (it has to raise funds). These cash flows are es?mated for a certain ?me period, say 3-5 years. A?er that, these cash flows are discounted at a well-es?mated discount rate. 6 www.Venture-Care.com/Magazine September 2017
