Stroll Net

Financial Plan

Sales: Stroll Net is basing their projected Internet usage sales on the financial snapshot information provided to them by Supplier One, Inc. Internet usage was estimated by calculating the average number of minutes each customer will spend accessing the Internet and then generating a conservative estimate as to how many transactions will be made per day.

Cost of Goods Sold: The cost of goods sold was determined by the “retail profit analysis” we obtained from Supplier One, Inc. The cost of prepaid calling cards is 20% of the selling price. The cost of Internet access is $50 per month, paid to Supplier Two for networking fees. The cost of terminal placement is 20% of total internet access sales.

Salaries Expense: The founders of Stroll Net, Cam Piotr and Bob Green, will receive a salary of $24,000 in year one, $26,400 in year two, and $29,040 in year three.

Payroll Expense: Stroll Net intends to hire eight full-time employees at $10.00/hour and a full-time technician at $12.00/hour. The total cost of employing nine people at these rates for the first year is $14,720/month.

Rent Expense: Stroll Net is looking to purchase a 2200 square foot facility at $104.74/sq. foot.

Utilities Expense: Stroll Net is responsible for the payment of utilities including electric, water and garbage disposal. The basic monthly service charge for utilities expense will be $168.04. The phone bill will generated by five phone lines; one will be dedicated to a modem and four for business purposes. The basic monthly service charge for each line provided by Bellsouth is $59.95/month. Therefore, the total cost associated with the five phone lines is estimated at $299.75/month.

Marketing Expense: Stroll Net will allocate $50,000 for promotional expenses at the time of start-up. These dollars will be used for advertising on television, radio, the Internet and the local newspapers in order to build consumer awareness. For additional information, please refer to section 5.0 of the business plan.

Insurance Expense: Stroll Net has allocated $1,500 for insurance for the first year. As revenue increases in the second and third year of business, Stroll Net intends to invest more money for additional insurance coverage.

Legal and Consulting Fees: The cost of obtaining legal consultation in order to draw up the paper work necessary for client contracts is $1,500.

Depreciation: In depreciating our capital equipment, we used the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery Method. We depreciated our terminals over a three-year time period.

Taxes: Stroll Net is an LLC and, as an entity, it is not taxed. However, there is a 10% payroll burden.
