Identify the sources of financing.
Define a payback period.
Prepare cash flow projections.
Prepare a projected balance sheet representing the end of the first calendar year of operations and defining assets and liabilities, both current and long term.
Prepare income statement projections for the end of the first calendar year of operations, including charts showing gross revenues, gross profit, and net income.
Define the meaning of a break-even analysis and prepare an analysis appropriate for your project.
Prepare a ratio analysis, including the definition and value of the following ratios (whichever applicable)-current, quick, debt, debt-to-equity, average inventory turnover, receivables turnover, payables turnover, net sales to working capital, net profit to sales, and net profit to equity.
Prepare a list of possible risks associated with the implementation and future operation of your project and describe the significance of each of them.
