*any business owners some of whom are ' newbies+ are not ,--. sure of the amount of
financing they require much less they could get approved for. /otential clients we meet
who state ' as much as we can get ' simply require... well... you guessed it... a lot of work.
%he proven way to calculate the amount of start up financing you need is to prepare a
proper opening balance sheet and cash flow pro0ection. /roperly complete it will give you
a strong handle on the inflows/outflows as well as most importantly the timing of the
funding you will need ) either in term debt for new assets or for business credit line
needs.
1ales typically drive cash flow needs so being realistic in your forecast is key. 2n old
mentor
of ours once said ' I #3435 *3% 2 /5673C%I6# I 8I8#'% LI$3'.
Can a realistic even conservative pro0ection fail? It can if it doesnt allow for the timing
of working capital flows. !usinesses in the 1*3 sector can generate a lot of cash more
than they might think by proper management of receivables payables and utili&ing
sources of funds such as equipment leasing. It's then that the owner/manager must
consider e9ternal capital. 2nd as e9pensive as debt might seem to small or emerging
businesses it+s always cheaper than diluting ownership equity.
