Instructions

This spreadsheet allows for the quick creation of financial projections and financial
statements when planning a entrepreneurial venture. It is designed to be as general
as possible but may not prove suitable for all businesses, particularly those with
complicated financial structures or irregular revenue. The spreadsheet assumes you
buy all equipment needed. The spreadsheet defaults to 100% debt financing, a mix of
debt and equity financing is also possible. No depreciation or amortization expenses
are calculated and a simple flat tax rate is assumed, with funds for taxes being set
aside as taxable income is earned.
1) Fill out the Questionnaire tab. All boxes in light blue should be filled out first. I
recommend you raise slightly more capital than you need. Next complete the
financing and sales estimate section. Do not forget to include the tax rate.
2) Next I recommend you select "Save as..." from the File menu and make a copy of
this spreadsheet. I recommend you modify the copy not the original.
3) Unless you are confident in you Excel skills and business planning expertise I
recommend you skip the Master Control tab. If you must meddle, adjust the orange
cells only.
4) The Answers tab contains the most useful information when planning a business,
estimates of: startup costs, monthly debt payment, revenue, break even sales, and
average monthly pre-tax income.
5) The Projections tab contains revenue, income, and cost projections for three years.
Do not modify this tab unless you know what you're doing.
6) The Balance Sheet is prepared in accordance with IFRS.
7) The Income Statement is prepared in accordance with IFRS.

8) The Statement of Cash Flow is prepared in accordance with IFRS.

9) The Valuation tab attempts to value the proposed business using the venture
capital method and the discounted cash flow method.
10) Y1 Bookkeeping tab is used to double check math and presents data in a slightly
different manner, than previous tabs.
