1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,008
- Part of the P & L is the Cash Flow Statement.

2
00:00:02,008 --> 00:00:05,000
Once you've compiled the Cash Flow Statement,

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,004
you'll want to follow the Standard Opening Statement

4
00:00:07,004 --> 00:00:09,009
and then a breakdown of the separate line items

5
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:11,005
with a brief description.

6
00:00:11,005 --> 00:00:13,001
Since this will take you some time,

7
00:00:13,001 --> 00:00:16,005
we've added an example in the handouts for you to reference.

8
00:00:16,005 --> 00:00:18,006
Keep in mind, this is simply an example

9
00:00:18,006 --> 00:00:20,007
and not intended to be a blanket formula

10
00:00:20,007 --> 00:00:22,006
for every business plan.

11
00:00:22,006 --> 00:00:24,000
Your Cash Flow Statement needs

12
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,004
to be specific to your business.

13
00:00:26,004 --> 00:00:29,005
Take some time after this course to review and implement.

14
00:00:29,005 --> 00:00:31,003
If you're using an accounting software,

15
00:00:31,003 --> 00:00:33,005
these numbers should be an easy format for you

16
00:00:33,005 --> 00:00:37,001
to take out and add to this section.

17
00:00:37,001 --> 00:00:39,001
Projected Balance Sheet.

18
00:00:39,001 --> 00:00:41,002
After all the numbers have been assimilated,

19
00:00:41,002 --> 00:00:43,004
how does that look from a projection standpoint

20
00:00:43,004 --> 00:00:44,007
year over year?

21
00:00:44,007 --> 00:00:48,007
Let's show the investors the business's projected net worth.

22
00:00:48,007 --> 00:00:51,002
This section will not need a breakdown of the elements,

23
00:00:51,002 --> 00:00:54,007
as they are previously disclosed throughout the plan.

24
00:00:54,007 --> 00:00:56,005
You will need to write an opening statement

25
00:00:56,005 --> 00:00:59,002
before showing the table or sheet itself.

26
00:00:59,002 --> 00:01:01,007
Your opening statement could look like this.

27
00:01:01,007 --> 00:01:04,005
The Balance Sheet Table and the First 12-month Breakdown

28
00:01:04,005 --> 00:01:07,002
in the Appendix found at the end of the Business Plan

29
00:01:07,002 --> 00:01:10,009
presents the Projected Balance Sheet for ABC, LLC.

30
00:01:10,009 --> 00:01:13,006
If all rates forecast proved to be accurate

31
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:16,001
and all financial projections are achieved,

32
00:01:16,001 --> 00:01:18,005
the Projected Balance Sheet reflects healthy growth

33
00:01:18,005 --> 00:01:21,004
of net worth and a strong financial position

34
00:01:21,004 --> 00:01:24,004
that is spurred by the funding being requested.

35
00:01:24,004 --> 00:01:26,001
As you're probably starting to realize,

36
00:01:26,001 --> 00:01:28,000
you'll need to build a Pro Forma.

37
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,008
There are several templates available

38
00:01:29,008 --> 00:01:31,008
through a simple Google search.

39
00:01:31,008 --> 00:01:33,004
If you're proficient with Excel,

40
00:01:33,004 --> 00:01:34,009
you may be able to create your own,

41
00:01:34,009 --> 00:01:37,002
and depending on the edition of Excel, you have,

42
00:01:37,002 --> 00:01:40,002
it may already include Pro Forma templates.

43
00:01:40,002 --> 00:01:43,004
Pro Formas can be intimidating if you've not worked

44
00:01:43,004 --> 00:01:44,004
with them in the past,

45
00:01:44,004 --> 00:01:48,001
but take your time and you should be able to figure it out.

46
00:01:48,001 --> 00:01:51,000
We've also included an example that you can download.
