Business Planning
BUSINESS PLANNING Planning is the key to any successful business. There are many different models and variations of business plans, so it is extremely important to choose the right one specific to the type of business. Having a business and knowing what to do with it are very separate issues and creating a well-executed business plan for the right reasons will enhance the odds that your venture will be one of the ones to succeed.
“Accounting is the measurement, statement, or provision of assurance about financial information primarily used by managers, investors, tax authorities and other decision makers to make resource allocation decisions within companies, organizations, and public agencies.” (en.wikipedia.org ). Whether you are seeking funding from investors or you are compiling a business plan to serve as a guide for managing your business, it is imperative that you make financial projections. These financial projections will attract investors and serve as a guide to future business decisions. Financial projections can be intimidating. However, they are less a matter of mathematical capacity and more a matter of your knowledge of your business, the industry, and the market. To make projections, such as sales forecasts, you must first break down sales into manageable parts. One way would be to outline the products and services you offer, the unit price for each item, the anticipated inventory, projected sales per item for each day, week, month, etc. You will base these numbers on your experience in the industry and research. Finally, make an educated guess regarding total sales. Using the same procedure, calculate your expenses or startup costs if launching a new business. Use a template or sample as a guide. Estimates, such as sales, are not simply based on knowing the number of people in your demographic region and making an educated guess as to how many will opt to use your product or services in a given time frame. Sales are projected in line
