Sources and use of funds
Plan assumptions
Break-even analysis
As you start filling in your financials, Please try to be as accurate as possible so your plan is realistic. You can find the costs of rents of different facilities in your area, you can find the costs of accountants, lawyers, web site developers, interest rates on commercial loans, and telecommunications/internet/technology packages. If you are not sure the actual costs, I would suggest that you pick the highest cost to ensure that your plan will not be underfunded.
