Section II: Financial section of the business plan (compose as a Word document and paste in the discussion window) (2 pages)
You will have 3 headings as outlined below:
1.Sources and use of funds: Outline the funds you have currently (see portfolio pages 4 and 8) and the ones you intend to raise (you need to raise funds per the portfolio page 4). Explain how you plan to use the funds (a clear plan for how you will use the money).
Before addressing this section please review:

Sources and Use of Funds section on page 312 of your textbook-Sample plan on page 325 for an idea on how to address this section.

2. Plan assumptions: The Financial plan must be based on decisions and facts. Investors want to know if this plan is realistic. In this section you will outline your plan assumptions.

Before addressing this section please review: 

The setup and assumptions sheet in your Excel document. 
Sample plan in your textbook page 326
Assumption sheet in your textbook page 313.

3. Break-even analysis: The break-even point is the point at which you make enough money in revenue to pay your expenses, but no profit (or loss). In this section, clarify what the break-even number is for year one (average). You will extract this information from the Break-even tab in the Excel document.
Before addressing this section please review:

Page 314 in the textbook, which covers the break-even analysis.

Notes:

You will use the written portion of your Financials in Assignment 4.
