Financial Plan

With an increase in sales, we do expect to apply for a credit line to a limit of $150,000. The credit line will be supported by assets.

These are our strong points:

  • We want to finance growth mainly through cash flow. We recognize that this means we will will have to grow at a slower pace than we would like, but this will enable us to build sales through more advertising.
  • Our most important asset is inventory turnover. Our ability to schedule production from month to month will help to control inventory costs.
  • We will be credited payment to our bank account within two days for all our credit card sales over the Internet. Sales on credit accounts for 25% of our overall sales.

Projected Cash Flow

The financial outlook is positive as the company rolls out and meets its milestones. Initially our cash flow will fluctuate, with negative cash flow in several months for our first year. However, Hang Toes Surfing expects to be cash flow positive for years two and three.

  • We want to finance our first year’s growth through a loan.
  • The most important indicator is inventory turnover. Our ability to schedule production from month to month will help control inventory costs.
  • Collection is not a problem for our direct sales, since we will be credited payment to our bank account in two days by our credit card company for Internet sales.
  • Selling our products over the Internet will allow us full retail price and maximize our profit.
