Equine Acres

Financial Plan

A note of critical importance to any potential lender or investor reviewing this business plan:

  • Upon securing funding for this project, EquineAcres will utilize almost 100% of the funding to purchase undeveloped land, and then develop that land. The development of the land will be done in such a way as to vastly improve the value of the land to a point at which the entire loan/investment amount is entirely recoverable, perhaps even profitable, through resale of the improved land, buildings, and equipment (worse case scenario). This funding request should therefore be considered as “secured.”

The financial plan for EquineAcres is presented herein for your review. From a high level it reflects several key factors:

  • Profitability.
  • Solid cash flow.
  • Sufficient profit and cash flow to cushion against unforseen challenges.
  • Solid growth expectations based on conservative estimates:
    • NOTE 1: Contrary to common business plan creation, this business plan has been created with conservative growth and sales expectations. Given the professional sales expertise and industry knowledge of the owner, sales and profitability are expected to surpass that which has been presented herein.
    • NOTE 2: The EquineAcres concept has every potential to quickly expand into multiple facilities serving multiple markets, however these opportunities are not reflected in this business plan. Once the initial EquineAcres (*1) is open, operating, and confirmed, additional facilities will be considered in direct cooperation with the initial lender/investor. Creation of these additional facilities (EqineAcres*2, EquineAcres*3, etc.) create the opportunity for exponential growth, profitability, and investor return. It is even within the realm of reason to envision a “franchise” approach spanning the United States.

The financial plan for EquineAcres has been assembled from a variety of sources which include:

  • Extensive professional business experience in sales, sales management, marketing, forecasting, and operational management.
  • Extensive experience in, knowledge of, and business contacts within, the equine marketplace.
  • Reliance upon the software program used to create this business plan for general assumption calculations.
    • See section on Management Gaps. The writer of this business plan, and future owner of EquineAcres, has identified a knowledge gap in basic accounting principles (to be resolved through external consultants and self education). Any apparent errors in the following tables and charts should be attributed to this knowledge gap. Professional assistance in reformatting this table to accurately reflect actual calculations is welcomed.
