QDAR expects to raise much of its own capital, and to borrow on a guaranteed ten year SBA loan. This provides the bulk of the current financing required.
7.1 Break-even Analysis
QDAR's break-even analysis is based on the averages of the first-year figures for total sales by units, and for operating expenses. These are presented as per-unit revenue, per-unit cost, and fixed costs. These conservative assumptions make for a more accurate estimate of real risk.
