Some notes do it quartely for 5 years. create a 5 year profit and loss account create a 5 year story based on the information given. telling the story through

the spreadsheet not write the story. how will this company realisticly evolve throughtout the 5 years, think about the companies expenses renting, size and other info of the premises. then think about sales model. read brief carefully, find out what the company is selling. what is the company;s product or service. what reasonable volume of sales could a company of the stated size achieve per year/per quarter, think about how long it takes to create the design, that gives you an idea of how much they can design per year. company needs to generate their income based on the sales as well. is this a manufacturing company? are we talking about high volume. How would the sales be likely to grow over the 5 year period? its a starting company so its expected to grow, how does it grow through these years? A keyword: more customers more demand. at what point does the company reach capacity of output? how does the staff base need to grow to deliver the sales grwoth? what other aspects of the company would need to expand? what is a reasonable price for the product or servive? what do you expect the customers to pay vs what you need to charge in order to create the product and make profit. Farhan: Can we act like the company got bankrupt? yes. lol, you can mention it when you talk about steps to be taken to improve performance. how much do the products cost to supply? including staff costs? how would the costs grow over the 5 year period? what is the investment module for the company?? range of investors, business angels (smaller scale private investors), the ground of the company, taking loans, each funding process require different (invesetment pay back), involve it in profit and loss. how old is the company from year 1? can costs be covered, in1 year or 5 or in betweem? ( they are not massive companies, not in business of mass manufacturing). narrative, can be in a document, 3 sections? spreadsheat just an excel. profit and loss. throughtout the 5 years, something disruptive will happen. that changes the finance of the company. by next year he is going to send these desruptive events. that we will have to consider in our project. farhan: how much detail in the loss and profit spreadsheet. ans. if the business is prototype, there is some expenses in hardware, not much to mention about that. someone behind: ans. how did the company evolve in that 5 years, did it become profitable? or no? when did the company start? whenever you want. someone on the next table: talking about staff ans: consider staff leave, cost for hiring, do it based on real life. *comapnies pay corporation tax not charged on income tax* *national insurance: bills are split between employees and employers*
