HHC expects to raise $390,000 as its own capital, and to borrow $4.2 million guaranteed by the SBA as a ten-year loan. This provides the bulk of the current financing required for company growth.
7.1 Break-even Analysis
HHC's break-even analysis is based on the average of the first-year figures for total sales by project, and by operating expenses. These are presented as per-project revenue, per-project cost, and fixed costs. These conservative assumptions make for a more accurate estimate of real risk.

7.4 Projected Cash Flow
The cash flow projection shows that provisions for ongoing expenses are adequate to meet HHC's needs as the business generates sufficient cash flow to support operations. As the construction business is seasonal, the company will build up cash reserves during the busy summer months to cover cash flow decreases during the slower winter months.
It is estimated that the company will aggressively seek to pay off it's SBA loan sooner than the required ten-year period. This is reflected in the higher principle payments in year 2002-2003.
