Forecast

Key Assumptions

  1. Status quo regarding regulation
  2. No major change in macro-economic or political situation. 
  3. We assume our product, product quality, and social media marketing will generate healthy growth in buzz and steady increase in sales
  4. We assume efficient management of multiple sites
  5. We will make the first site work before moving to the second. 
  6. We will not add sites while any site is not working well
  7. We expect expansion will cause a loss in our second year, but that it will be an acceptable loss and we will have working capital to finance it.

Financing

Use of Funds

Our startup funding of $100,000 will cover both startup expenses and initial assets. specifically:

Startup expenses of $54,500 incurred before launch: 

These pre-launch, pre-revenue expenses show up in our financials as negative retained earnings in the Balance Sheet at launch. 

  • Legal: $3,000
  • Furniture and interior: 17,000 (We discussed calling these assets, but we think we can legitimately expense them instead; that’s better for tax treatment)
  • Rent: $15,000. We need five weeks in the location for fixup and such before we launch. 
  • Branding: $3,500. Includes imagery, website, logo, social media accounts, etc.
  • Location fixup: $10,000
  • Other: $2,000
  • Total: $50,500

Current assets required:

  • Cash: $50,000 to cover early deficits, working capital, etc. 
  • Inventory: $10,000
  • Plates, napkins, etc. $4,000 (other current assets in starting balance) 

Long-term Assets

  • Kitchen and fixtures: $22,000

Total Startup Costs: 

  • $54,500 in expenses incurred before launch
  • $86,000 in assets required at launch, including $50K cash reserve. 
  • Total: $140,500 startup cost

 

 

Sources of Funds

Investment will be in equal parts from all four founders. We expect to invest $100,000 to start and an additional $100,000 at the beginning of the second year. We plan to avoid commercial borrowing.
