Critical Financial Planning Questions for Business Plans PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 72-slide Strategic Business Roadmap Design PowerPoint presentation, outlines essential questions for developing a comprehensive business plan, specifically focusing on financial planning. It emphasizes the importance of understanding revenue, expenses, and income development. Key inquiries include how cash flow is projected to evolve and when the business anticipates reaching breakeven, which is critical for assessing financial viability.

The slide prompts consideration of financing needs, particularly in worst-case scenarios. This highlights the necessity of liquidity planning, ensuring that sufficient cash is available to navigate potential downturns. Assumptions underlying financial projections are also crucial, as they can significantly impact the overall strategy and investor confidence.

Identifying available sources of capital is another focal point. This is vital for informing potential investors about how the business plans to meet its financial requirements. The slide also raises questions about the deal being offered to investors, including expected returns and exit options. These elements are fundamental for aligning investor interests with business objectives.

Overall, the content serves as a guide for entrepreneurs and executives to critically assess their financial strategies and prepare for discussions with potential investors. By addressing these key questions, businesses can better position themselves for successful funding and sustainable growth.
