Sports Equipment Retail Business Plan

Financial Plan

Keith's Sporting Goods will regularly monitor all financial statements because they have a direct correlation with the health of our business. We have forecasted into the future with a steady but moderate growth rate where sales will grow by 2% every month. All sales will be in cash leading to positive cash flows whenever asset acquisition is maintained. Profits will be reinvested into the business in hopes of future product and store expansions. If no appropriate investment opportunities present themselves excess cash will be placed into the market through a respected financial consultant.

7.5 Projected Balance Sheet

Among the importance of monitoring liabilities and assets, cash will be of particular importance to our organization. We will monitor this section of the Balance Sheet constantly. Without cash we will be unable to react to market changes or survive through tough economic cycles. Our net worth will improve as we grow and pay off the initial loan.
