CHAPTER- 7 FINANCIAL PLAN

7.1 Cash Flow Projections or Statements.

The cash flow statement tracks how much cash your business has coming in and out of it at

any given time. If you currently don't have any cash flow statements to show, you need to

provide a cash flow projection. A cash flow projection helps you budget for upcoming
expenses

so you don't run out of money. Develop a cash flow projection for the following items:

● Inventory

● Rent

● Payroll

● Marketing expenses

● Customer payments

7.2 Profit and Loss Projection.

A profit and loss (P&L) statement compares the total revenue for a business against its debt

13
z

and expenses. Essentially, all of the company's expenses are subtracted from the income.
Other

names for a P&L statement are "income statement," "earnings statement," "revenue
statement,"

"operating statement, "statement of operations" and "statement of financial performance.”

7.3 Projected Balance Sheet.

A balance sheet offers a way to scrutinize your business and outline its worth. A balance
sheet

is different from a measure of profit and loss. It's a list of assets and liabilities. Any good

balance sheet includes these basics:

● What the business owns or expects to own (real estate, vehicles, office equipment, etc.)

● Revenue you expect to take in (accounts receivable)

● Expenses you expect to pay out (accounts payable)

7.4 Break Even Analysis.

Break even (B/E) analysis is a simple, but very effective financial feasibility test. B/E is used

to find the amount of sales necessary to pay all fixed costs (and have zero income.) In your

business plan, it represents a minimum acceptable performance.

7.5 Contingency Plans.

A contingency plan is a proactive strategy that describes the course of actions or steps the

management and staff of an organization need to take in response to an event that could
happen

in the future. It plays a significant role in business continuity, risk management and disaster

recovery.

CHAPTER- 8 APPENDICES (SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS etc.)

14
z

Attach any supporting documents that are relevant to each section of your business plan.
These

are some items business owners include in their appendices:

 Agreements

 Intellectual property (trademarks, licenses, patents, etc.)

 Resumes of owners and key employees

 Insurance policies

 Advertising/marketing materials

 Blueprints/plans

1. Executive summary

15
z

E-Tron is a company that is focused on designing and producing high-quality electric

vehicles. The company was founded with the goal of offering a sustainable transportation
solution that is both reliable and affordable. To achieve this goal, E-Tron has invested heavily
in research and development, as well as in state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and
production processes.

One of the key features of E-Tron' electric vehicles is their innovative design. The company's
engineers and designers have worked hard to create vehicles that are both aesthetically
pleasing and highly functional. The company's vehicles are available in a variety of styles,
from compact cars to larger SUVs, and each model is designed to meet the specific needs and
preferences of its target market.

E-TRON is also committed to using the latest technology in their vehicles. All of the
company's electric vehicles are equipped with advanced battery systems that offer extended
driving range and fast charging times. In addition, the vehicles feature cutting-edge safety
and driver assistance features, as well as advanced entertainment and connectivity options.

To support the adoption of electric vehicles, E-TRON has also invested in a comprehensive
network of charging stations. The company has partnered with various organizations to install
charging stations in strategic locations across the country, making it easy for customers to
charge their vehicles on the go.

Another important aspect of E-Tron' business strategy is its focus on sustainability. The
company is committed to minimizing its environmental impact by using sustainable materials
and production processes. In addition, E-Tron is actively involved in initiatives to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable transportation.

To achieve its goals, E-Tron has assembled a team of experienced professionals from various
fields, including automotive engineering, design, and manufacturing. The company's
leadership team is highly skilled and knowledgeable, with a deep understanding of the
electric vehicle market and the challenges and opportunities it presents.

In terms of market positioning, E-Tron is targeting a range of customers, from

environmentally conscious individuals to businesses and government organizations. The
company's vehicles are priced competitively, with a focus on affordability and value for

16
z

money. E-Tron is also exploring various financing and leasing options to make its vehicles
accessible to a wider range of customers.

1.1Overview

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular as consumers become more aware of the
environmental impact of traditional gas-powered cars. E-Tron, as a new electric vehicle
manufacturer, would need to differentiate itself from established companies like Tesla, GM,
and Ford.

One strategy E-Tron might use is to focus on a specific niche within the electric vehicle
market. For example, they could specialize in electric pickup trucks or luxury electric
vehicles. By focusing on a specific niche, they could differentiate themselves from
competitors and build a loyal customer base.

Another strategy E-Tron might use is to focus on innovation. They could invest heavily in
research and development to create cutting-edge electric vehicle technology. This could
include developing new battery technology, improving charging infrastructure, or creating
more efficient electric motors. By innovating, E-Tron could differentiate themselves from
competitors and create a strong brand identity.

To become a global leader in the electric vehicle market by 2030, E-TRON would need to
expand quickly. They would need to invest in manufacturing facilities and develop
partnerships with suppliers to ensure a steady supply of components. They would also need to
build a strong brand identity through marketing and advertising.

E-Tron could also focus on international expansion. They could target markets that are
currently underserved by established electric vehicle manufacturers, such as emerging
economies or countries with low electric vehicle adoption rates. By expanding
internationally, they could tap into new markets and diversify their revenue streams.

17
z

In addition, E-Tron could invest in sustainable business practices. This could include using
renewable energy sources to power their manufacturing facilities, developing sustainable
supply chains, and implementing environmentally-friendly production processes. By
prioritizing sustainability, E-Tron could appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers and
build a positive brand image.

Finally, to become a global leader in the electric vehicle market, E-Tron would need to build
a strong team of experienced professionals. This could include hiring top talent from
established electric vehicle manufacturers or other industries. By building a strong team, E-
Tron could ensure they have the expertise needed to compete with established companies and
stay ahead of emerging trends in the market.

In conclusion, E-Tron could become a global leader in the electric vehicle market by focusing
on a specific niche, investing in innovation, expanding quickly, focusing on international
markets, prioritizing sustainability, and building a strong team. However, as a language
model, I want to reiterate that E-Tron is a fictional name, and any information provided about
the company should be taken as general advice rather than specific guidance.

1.2Key to success

Innovation: As the electric vehicle market becomes more crowded, innovation will be crucial
for any company to stand out from the competition. E-Tron should focus on developing new
technologies and features that set their vehicles apart from those of other electric vehicle
manufacturers. This could include developing new battery technologies, improving charging
infrastructure, or creating more efficient electric motors.

Quality: In addition to being innovative, E-Tron should also focus on creating high-quality
electric vehicles. This means paying close attention to details like fit and finish, build quality,

18
z

and safety features. By creating high-quality vehicles, E-Tron can build a reputation for
reliability and safety, which will be critical for attracting and retaining customers.

Branding: Building a strong brand identity will be crucial for E-Tron's success. They should
develop a clear brand message and communicate it effectively through marketing and
advertising. This could include creating a memorable logo, developing a strong online
presence, and engaging with customers through social media.

Customer Service: Providing excellent customer service will be key to retaining customers
and building a loyal customer base. E-Tron should focus on developing a customer service
program that is responsive to customer needs and concerns. This could include providing a
user-friendly online platform for scheduling service appointments, offering loaner vehicles
during repairs, and providing timely and effective customer support.

Sustainability: The electric vehicle market is closely tied to the larger movement towards
sustainability and reducing carbon emissions. E-Tron should prioritize sustainability in all
aspects of their business, including manufacturing, supply chain management, and vehicle
design. This could include using renewable energy sources to power their manufacturing
facilities, developing sustainable supply chains, and implementing environmentally-friendly
production processes.

Price: The price point of electric vehicles has traditionally been a barrier for many potential
buyers. E-Tron should focus on offering vehicles that are competitive in terms of price, while
still offering high-quality features and cutting-edge technology. This will be especially
important as the electric vehicle market continues to grow and competition increases.

Partnerships: E-Tron should seek out partnerships with other companies in the electric
vehicle market, as well as with suppliers and distributors. This will allow them to tap into

19
z

new markets and expand their customer base. It could also provide access to new
technologies and components, which could help them stay ahead of the competition.

Talent: Finally, E-Tron should focus on hiring top talent from established electric vehicle
manufacturers or other industries. This will ensure they have the expertise needed to compete
with established companies and stay ahead of emerging trends in the market. They should
also focus on building a strong internal culture that encourages innovation and creativity..

2. COMPANY DESCRIPTION

2.1 Company name

E-Tron

2.2 Legal form

The legal form of our company is a sole proprietorship. This means that the business

is owned and operated by a single individual, who has complete control over all aspects of

the business, from management and operations to profits and losses.

As a sole proprietorship, our company is a simple and easy-to-manage structure, with

minimal legal requirements and paperwork. The owner is personally liable for all debts and

obligations of the business, and all profits are taxed as personal income.

One of the main advantages of a sole proprietorship is the flexibility it offers in terms

of management and decision-making. The owner can make quick and independent decisions

based on the needs and goals of the business, without the need for formal meetings or

approvals from other stakeholders.

However, there are also some disadvantages to consider. For example, the owner has

20
z

unlimited personal liability for the debts and obligations of the business, which means that
personal assets may be at risk in the event of a lawsuit or bankruptcy. Additionally, a sole

proprietorship may have limited access to funding and investment opportunities, as investors

may prefer more established or diversified business structures.

2.4 Business idea.

One potential business idea for E-Tron could be to develop and market electric vehicles
specifically designed for ridesharing services, such as Uber and Lyft. Here are some potential
reasons why this could be a viable business idea:

Increased demand for electric vehicles: As more people become environmentally conscious
and seek ways to reduce their carbon footprint, the demand for electric vehicles continues to
grow. In addition, some cities and governments are implementing policies that incentivize or
require the use of electric vehicles for ridesharing services.

Potential cost savings: Electric vehicles have lower operating costs compared to traditional
gasoline-powered vehicles, which can result in cost savings for ridesharing services that
operate at a large scale. This could make them an attractive option for ridesharing companies
looking to reduce their expenses.

Improved rider experience: Electric vehicles tend to be quieter and smoother than traditional
vehicles, which can provide a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for riders. In
addition, electric vehicles tend to have better acceleration and torque, which could be
beneficial for ridesharing drivers who need to navigate through traffic and pick up passengers
quickly.

21
z

Unique design and features: E-Tron could develop electric vehicles specifically designed for
the ridesharing market, with features like more legroom, USB charging ports for passengers,
and built-in tablet displays for entertainment and navigation. This could make their vehicles
stand out from the competition and attract more riders.

Potential partnerships: E-Tron could seek partnerships with ridesharing companies to provide
them with exclusive access to their electric vehicles. This could provide a steady stream of
customers for E-Tron while also offering a unique selling point for the ridesharing company.

Overall, developing and marketing electric vehicles specifically for the ridesharing market
could be a profitable business idea for E-Tron, as it addresses a growing demand for
environmentally-friendly transportation options while also offering potential cost savings and
improved rider experiences.

2.5 Business model.

E-Tron's business model will depend on a variety of factors, including its target market, the
types of products and services it offers, and its distribution channels. However, here is a
general overview of a potential business model for E-Tron:
