Business Plans
Business plans are an essential document for any successful business, as it is the business plans that create the confidence for stakeholders, investors, and creditors to believe in the success of your business.
​
​A proper business plan should provide a proactive active approach to starting your business and will help uncover any potential obstacles or hurdles that you may not have thought of prior to starting the business. Business plans should describe your business objectives, what niche or problem you are solving? Is there a target market, specialized processes that provide you with a competitive advantage, sales strategies, financial forecasts, and exit strategy?
Financial Forecasts & Projections
Financial forecasts and projections are essential for not only entrepreneurial start-ups but well established businesses that have been in operation for decades. The business environment has never been so competitive, so having your financial future mapped out is a huge advantage, and key to success.
​Whether a start-up or established business the benefits of having, at minimum, a realistic 3 year financial forecasts goes unmatched as it can help or prevent cash flow issues from ever arising. Benefits of financial forecasting include: helping set concrete budgets, reduced products costs, alignment of financial and growth strategies, proactive versus reactive to issues, and stakeholder confidence.
Cash Flow Analysis
Cash flow analysis is very similar to that of financial forecasts however only deals with actual cash transactions, whereas your financial forecasts includes both accrued and non-cash expenses. Typically, cash flow analysis will be for a limited period of time and would outline specifically where the cash is going. This is often crucial for small businesses as they suffer the most from cash shortages. Regular review of your cash flow can help ensure a healthy cash balance allowing your business to operate efficiently and effectively.
