Avant-Garde Shop

Financial Plan

The initial funding from investors (ABC Company and XYZ Company) will enable us to renovate the space and buy initial inventory. With heavy marketing and outreach to customers who work outside the Avant-garde Building, we expect to pass the break-even point early in the second year of this plan.

We will keep costs to a minimum: 2 full-time employees will run the shop, while advisors and directors from AMC Company will oversee operations under their existing duties at PT. ABC Company. We will begin paying dividends to these investors in the second year.

Please note that all tables and charts show data in 1,000’s of Indonesian Rupiah (Rp.).

8.1 Start-up Funding

Approximately Rp. 166,597,000 will be needed from the shareholders for these purposes. Some of the funding is priority as it’s crucially important to go on to the next step of development. The remainder of the start-up capital required, for the continuation of operations, will be provided by the end of the project. We will start paying dividends to the investors in year two of operations (see Cash Flow table for details).
