Animal Day Care Business Plan

Doggie Pause

Create your own business plan

Financial Plan

We want to finance the start-up of our company mainly through personal investment and a short-term business loan.  We think this is a good risk/return situation and we will provide the necessary personal guarantees to secure the business loan. We will finance growth through the collection of the fees for our services. We understand that without these payments we will not be able to be a profitable business.

7.1 Important Assumptions

Our important financial assumptions are shown below.

General Assumptions
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Plan Month 1 2 3
Current Interest Rate 10.00% 10.00% 10.00%
Long-term Interest Rate 10.00% 10.00% 10.00%
Tax Rate 25.42% 25.00% 25.42%
Other 0 0 0

7.2 Break-even Analysis

According to our break-even projections, we need more than $12,000 in monthly sales to break even. We think this is a manageable sales amount. Furthermore, a significant portion of our fixed cost is our own salaries, so that reduces risk as well.

Break-even Analysis
Monthly Revenue Break-even $12,197
Assumptions:
Average Percent Variable Cost 12%
Estimated Monthly Fixed Cost $10,687

7.3 Projected Profit and Loss

The projections show how we intend to almost break even in the first year (a loss of less than $1,000), make a small profit in the second year and show profit of 9% on sales in the third year. We are confident that even though we have a loss in the first months after opening, we will be profitable in the future as years go on and business increases.

7.4 Projected Cash Flow

For Doggie Pause to be successful we need a steady growth in clientele. Without customers bringing in their canines we have no cash flow, no profit, and no business. The cash flow depends on a bridge loan in mid-year from the founders, to be repaid at the end of the year.
