yone who has ever started a business has underestimated the costs, and then faced the
unning with inadequate capital reserves. The key to avoiding this pitfall is to adopt a
proach to your research and planning.
Expenses worksheet will lead you through the process.
S - Begin by estimating expenses. What will it cost you to get your business up and
he key to accuracy here is attention to detail. For each category of expense, draw up a list
g you will need to purchase. This will include both tangible assets (for example, equipment,
nd services (for example, remodeling, insurance). Then determine where you might
ese goods or services. Research more than one vendor; i.e.: comparison shop. Do not
e alone; terms of payment, delivery, reliability, and service are also important.
ENCIES - Add a reserve for contingencies. Be sure to explain in your narrative how you
the amount you are putting into this reserve.
CAPITAL - You cannot open with an empty bank account. You need a cash cushion to
ses while the business gets going. Eventually you should do a 12-month cash flow
This is where you will work out your estimate of working capital needs. For now, either
ne blank or put in your best rough guess. After you have done your cash flow, you can
and enter the carefully researched figure.
- Now that you have estimated how much capital will be needed to start, you should turn
on to the top part of this worksheet. Enter the amounts you will put in yourself, how much
ted by partners or investors, and how much will be supplied by borrowing.
AL - If you will be using this plan to support a bank loan request, use the section near the
how what assets are offered as collateral to secure the loan, and give your estimate of the
se items. Be prepared to offer some proof of your estimates of collateral values.
