-
Making a
cash flow
analysis is very important. Use a computer model in one of these areas:
Research and Development, Manufacturing, Wholesale, Distribution, Retail,
Services, Software, Real Estate, Consulting. Each area is an entirely
different model. Note: Trying to go from R&D to Retail with one business is
another formula for disaster.
-
Make three models of
assumptions for Good, Likely, and Worst Case Scenarios and solve for
financial requirements.
-
Develop a decision matrix that compares
profit, cash requirements,
financial ratios, and break-even calculations to find the highest ROI
with lowest capitalization.
-
How much money is needed to reach startup, the first year
of operation, how much and when do you need it?
-
Do you have it? Where will it come from?
-
Will it be
Debt or Equity?
And, how much equity is required to obtain the financing?
-
Compare the answers to all three of these models and
evaluate the results.
