Bra~vo Intimates

Financial Plan

  • Being a retail store we will not be selling on credit, nor will we have lay-aways.
  • The first year we will keep the part-time help to a minimum.
  • Due to the soft economy we plan on a better interest rate than offered in the past five years.

7.1 Important Assumptions

Our sales paid for by credit card will be deposited in our business checking account within 48 hours. Since most of our personnel are part-time, the first year only the Owner/Manager Rebecca Autumn will receive benefits. Our business checking account will be with National City, in Royal Oak. They have reported the approximate current interest rates as those below.

Plan Month 1 2 3

Long-term Interest Rate 9.00% 9.00% 9.00%
