Financial Plan

Forecast

Key Assumptions

Our financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the following table as annual figures. The key underlying assumptions are:

  • We assume a slow-growth economy, without major recession. This means our customer’s have money to pay for a meal out. 
  • We assume that there are no unforseen changes in the expectancy in the popularity of our restaurant. 
  • We assume access to investments and financing are sufficient to maintain and fulfill our financial plan as shown in the tables.

Use of Funds

We plan on using the funds we receive will be used for: equipment, furniture, painting, reconstruction, rent, start-up labor, liquor license, six months operating cash, and legal and consulting costs associated with opening our restaurant. We plan on making our location look like new, and upgrade so we can service our restaurant customers as well as our catering customers

They appear on our balance sheet as a negative $300K retained earnings at launch.
