Financial Plan

Startup Funding 

Ensure that your requested capital is enough to handle your start-up costs and reserves to ensure business vi ability. Minimum of $300K startup capital (with $100K from the team and $200K from outside investors) is required. Up to $600K should be cleared with the instructor. You can request a loan or private equity investment (one or the other) but the plan must be written with the proper audience stated and in mind.

Use of funds

Describe how you plan to use the startup requirements in detail providing a start-up budget which includes all initial capital expenditures, build-out and start-up expenses. The details must be realistic and well researched. Data that does not make sense will cost you points. In other words, if you are starting a restaurant and your remodeling startup costs are $5,000, you would be penalized, since that amount is unrealistic.

Sales forecast

Your worksheet work here will be the underpinning of how you create your forecast. Units, dollars and assumptions are critical. All other statements build on these numbers. Create the sales forecast in a narrative based on what your worksheets show you after you have completed them. (Remember, you don’t submit the spreadsheet created using our course financial software, so restate important numbers in the form of charts, tables or excerpts from the Sales Proj. tab in your spreadsheet.) Your forecast is the description of the units you plan to sell, the services (amount of them) you plan to provide, and your growth projections of these numbers. Document all assumptions, and provide external source information for all assertions.

Cash flow

Because cash is critical in the first year, a monthly cash flow for year 1 is required (place in the appendix.) Remember that cash flow is your solvency check and balance. Summarize your projections by including a yearly cashflow table. Explain how your cashflow will impact the ability of your business to expand, succeed, grow, and support your growth. Provide an annual summary of the cashflow (receipts and disbursements) here. Document all assumptions, and provide source information for all assertions.

Balance sheet

Provide the end of year 5 balance sheet to show your company’s net worth and financial position at the end of the 5-year plan.

Income statement

Your income statement is a narrative explanation of your projected pro-formas. Include the detailed statements in your Appendix, and then list the annual estimates in a table format in your plan. Explain how your income and expenses will contribute to your P&L and your net income. Your growth factor should be shown and explained (justified) as well. Document all assumptions, and provide source information for all assertions.

Break-even analysis

Include a graphical representation that shows when your company will start making a profit.

Valuation after 5 years 

Calculated at the end of year 5 using one of the models described in the lecture or some other generally accepted valuation method, explained and provided in the plan. 

Exit strategy 

Address your early termination plans as well as your vision for the business at the end of year 5. The exit strategy takes into account business Return on Investment (ROI.) It will also look at the rate of return you are offering your investors, if you have them. Private equity, or venture capital projects, should include both in the exit strategy. Lender-based projects do not require a rate of return but should include the ROI. You need to review the lecture in the Financial Plan for various methods of exiting the business.

Financial Plan Totals

You will prepare 5 years of proforma financial statements to support the business viability of your concepts. You need to test your idea for logic and reasonableness in your market. You must demonstrate how you determined your figures. Your narrative should explain key assumptions and statements. Backup schedules should go in the appendix.

Instructions

Carefully review these instructions. Then, answer each of the following three questions in a complete paragraph (3–5 sentences) using two pieces of evidence or examples learned in the class. Other than these instructions, the only source that should be used is the textbook. Remember to use Strayer Writing Standards in-text citations for all forms of integrating evidence, such as paraphrasing, summarizing, or quoting information from the textbook.

  1. A biotechnology company offers a direct-to-consumer test called the Carrier Status report that generates various calculations about an individual’s genetic risk for certain diseases. Write one paragraph that addresses the following two issues:
    1. Why would this be most useful for disorders following an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance? Provide evidence from your textbook (e.g., Section 10.7, Inheritance Patterns in Humans).
    2. Explain how this information might be useful for people during their reproductive years.
       
  2. The Carrier Status report mentioned above is packaged along with a Genetic Health Risk report. Neither has been approved by the FDA for diagnosing illness. They have only been approved for general informational purposes about an individual’s health risks.
    1. In one paragraph of 3–5 sentences, explain whether this limited approval status would affect how much credibility you would give to the information in the report.
    2. Defend your position with examples or evidence.
       
  3. There are three slightly different alleles of the APOE gene known as a2, a3, and a4. The most common allele is a3. As discussed in the textbook, Section 11.1, Personal Genomic Testing, the a4 allele is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease. If you have one copy of the a4 allele, your lifetime risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease goes up to 47%, as compared to 20% for the overall population. If you have two copies of the a4 allele, your risk is even higher. There is no known certain way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. However, certain factors, such as reading, crossword puzzles, and education, are correlated with reduced risk.
    1. The Carrier Status report mentioned in question 1 would provide information about the risk of developing Alzheimer’s based upon the a4 allele. In a paragraph of 3–5 sentences, describe at least one benefit and one possible concern of getting a genotype report from a genetic testing company that indicates the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s or another disease. 
    2. Defend your position with examples or evidence.
