Do you need to clearly define your direction and track your business progress? Are you looking to apply for financing? Do you want to improve your businesses financial situation?
Financial planning can help you keep your business growing profitably. It also increases your ability to foresee and plan for potential problems, and to adapt to any changes that may arise.
What does a financial plan involve? | 1. Personal financial situation of the owner(s):
- How much can and should you personally invest in your company?
- Will a mortgage or personal loan be necessary?
- What, realistically, should your monthly salary be?
2. Business income statement:
- Includes sales forecasts, costs of goods sold, fixed and variable expenses (salaries, advertising, rent, interest expenses), and profit.
- It should detail 3 scenarios—pessimistic, optimistic, and probable—to assess your business risks and opportunities for success.
3. Break-even analysis: determines at what point your business profits will equal expenses:
- How close to maximum capacity you will have to operate
- The level of sales you will need—and when can you expect to achieve profitability
- Which changes can have the greatest impact on your profitability
4. Cash flow statement: creates an accurate picture of your monthly financial needs and how much money you will need to operate or remain in business
